A’s scoring on Burnett before the Yanks score on Tomko
-The dude responsible for this mess
Proud member of the "Don't Trade Marleau" Club
I did.
The Yankees usually score on homeruns but are below average in hitting in the clutch.
And this ballpark is not the most conducive setting for homeruns, even though the Yankees are eager to hit flyballs off of Tomko.
That said, I expected to see the A’s score off of Burnett’s wildness/walks, but they’ve done some damage with solid contact. Burnetts one of the tougher pitchers to hit against, but it’s easy to take your walks.
I like it when the A’s have the runs!

GET BAILEY UP NOW!!!!
But seriously, when Ellis came up I was thinking that the Yanks should forget “lefty/righty” and forget “OBP” and walk Ellis to pitch to Cust, just because of the way those two guys are going. Fortunately, they pitched to Ellis.

Baseball players spend a LOT of time playing (not studying)
and the good ones all leave after their junior years, anyway (except Green, maybe, GRRR). So a lot of these guys are unlikely to get degrees, anyway.

No college, just minors, winter ball, etc
Every so often someone will go to school in the offseason. The O’s signed a pitcher a while ago who got an agreement in the contract to let him go to Stanford in the offseason. There was a story in the paper (I think the Philly Inquirer) about him.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
As a refresher. From ESPN.
(Krol’s) fastball is consistently 88-90 mph; most have good tailing life but he can run it in on a right-hander’s hands. His changeup is 76-78 with a lot of fading action, while his curveball has good depth and some two-plane break, but he prefers to pitch off his fastball and change. His command and control are both good for a high school pitcher, and he was dominant in three outings in the scout league this spring, although rainouts made him tough for scouts to see. He stays over the rubber well and separates his hands high to keep his arm action short. His stride is long and he finishes in good position to field a ball back at him. He’s not big and doesn’t have great physical projection, but if he does add a couple of mph to his fastball despite that, he could have a No. 3 starter upside.

I think of forgotten as a different category from underrated
VU were underrated at the time, but hardly forgotten or underrated now, for instance. The Cars were incredibly popular (fans and critics) but no one today knows who they were.
It’s an interesting question, though, especially if you try to account for generational differences. Cream’s reunion tour was a big deal (though I’m sure it was all boomers in the crowds).

You really don’t think population has something to do with that classification?
skigurl: Buy that man a Swatch!
Well, if you want to get all serious about it,
I think that the reason it is a subcontinent is geologic (ie, on a different tectonic plate), and the reason we hear about it all the time (as opposed to Arabia, which is just as much a subcontinent but rarely called one) is related to the population.
