He was the Cardinals starting pitcher and he was mad at his shortstop Brendan Ryan tonight. First, the game was delayed because Ryan couldn’t get the right glove. After the inning, Carpenter gave Ryan a talking to in the dugout. Then, later on, Ryan was out of position — at least according to Carpenter he was — on a grounder that would have been fielded had Ryan been playing normally.

Wow, that White Sox-Orioles highlight on SportsCenter was funny. Since the Orioles were 0-20 in their last 20 Monday games, they broke out the Monday Night Football music and used football terms in the highlight such as the fair catch (on an infield fly) and the red zone (bases loaded).

Ok!

My family came, and it was quite an effort getting them all in the same place at the same time. Swear it was harder than planning the event itself. They kept calling me but always going in different directions and/or we couldn’t find each other. In addition I had all those crazy people talking in my ear all night. Too many voices in my head.

So we finally find each other, and my sister brought my little niece who’s 2 and a half. She’s really sassy and funny. She calls me “Masi P” because masi is Hindi for aunt. She kept saying “Masi P where is the party?” and I said “You’re AT the party!” but she only got it when my sister bought her some ice cream. Ice cream = party.

But she kept asking “Where is the party Masi P?” So I said to her, “YOU’RE the party!” and then she said “No YOU’RE the party Masi P!” and we kept going back and forth.

And it was adorable.

The end.

I can't take it anymore.

Conflating grit/desire/fire/heart and ability is like the alpha baseball fallacy.

When the team is winning we build a colorful narrative around their performances (grit/desire/fire/heart), and when the team is losing we strip them of that narrative.

Like clockwork.

Don’t get me wrong, the narrative is definitely a part of the fun – it’s just when people can’t see past that narrative – it drives me up a freaking wall.

OK, there's two issues here.

One you’ve probably already heard a million times, but it’s true. The other is more subtle.

So I don’t remember what your exact post was, but it was something like “I don’t want a girlfriend who is only with me out of pity” or something like that. You need to stop thinking like that, because there’s no such thing.

First of all, and this is the part you’ve probably heard, you need to not jump to the conclusion that it’s pity because more likely than not that’s your own low self-esteem talking and you’re thinking “she can’t possibly like a loser like me so she must just feel sorry for me”, but in fact she really does like you. For you to assume that is first being lame for not believing in yourself, and second it’s an insult to her like saying she has bad taste. So yeah, don’t do that.

But more important, even if she actually says she’s only with you out of pity, you still need to not believe her. You need to understand what this is like from her side. It’s hard to admit you’re interested in someone. We guys think women have all the power, and in some ways they do, but it’s just as hard for them. If she does like you, maybe it’s hard for her to admit that to herself. Or even if she can admit it to herself maybe she can’t stand up to the pressure of her friends. If you aren’t deemed sufficiently cool by her group, she is afraid that they will laugh at her, and that’s a very real fear for her because, truth to be told, girls can be real bitches to each other, especially at your age.

So here’s the thing, if some girl is acting like she’s interested in you and actually making some moves on you or responding favorably to your moves, and then she backs off and says “oh psshhh, did you think I really like you? ha ha, that’s ridiculous, I just feel sorry for you,” yes, that is totally hurtful to you, but you need to accept that this is her own defense mechanism, and as much as you are able you need to allow her that defense and not push her away by challenging her to tear it down.

It will help you to allow her that if you know that she really doesn’t mean it, and I am here to assure you that she never does. Her real feelings are in her actions. If she’s with you, she likes you; if she doesn’t like you, she’s not with you, regardless of what she says. You never need to wonder about this because there’s no such thing as a girl who genuinely dislikes you but is with you anyways just out of pity. That’s retarded; no girl actually does that. If she’s with you but she says she doesn’t really mean it, that’s a lie she has to tell to herself.

Conclusion: Forget about this idea of a pity relationship. It doesn’t exist. If a girl wants to be with you and says it’s just out of pity, know that it isn’t, and enjoy being loved by her, even if she lacks the strength to express it openly.

A lot of what you said makes sense. But if a woman says "oh psshhh, did you think I really like you? ha ha, that’s ridiculous, I just feel sorry for you,"

She isn’t ready for a mature relationship and a man who is deserves better.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect every girl to have the strength to stand up to the nastiness of her peers. Especially at age 18, but even at our age. No, don’t love the flaw, but do love the person who is flawed.

No, don't go there.

If your goal is stealing her away you’re going to be focused on what you don’t have rather than what you do have. There are many ways to enjoy a woman, and only some of them require claiming her as your own.

Enjoy seeing her lovely face, enjoy hearing what she has to say, enjoy making her laugh, enjoy watching her walk, enjoy brightening her day with a thoughtful little gift. Don’t be fretting about “oh, if only I could hold her in my arms, oh, if only I could kiss her.” I mean, OK, you can think about that later one when you’re home alone and that’s OK, too, but don’t let what you don’t have get in the way of appreciating what you do have.

Even though he went 0-3

He needs to be in there against Felix. He hit the ball hard the third time and it will do him good to be in there as opposed to being benched and stressing about his Next AB. Put him right back out there.

He is going to be fine. Even if he goes 1 for 20, he’s eventually going to be fine. Naturally, a hit or two will do wonders for his confidence and when he gets that 1st hit, he can settle down and adjust over time.

there seems to be a subtle disconnect

for Chris Townsend and a lot of pro-Wolffers about where baseball money comes from. it doesn’t appear in rich businessmen’s magical baseball coffers based on which owner has the sweetest tie and vocabulary.

the money comes from us. we are the paying customers. we buy the products that advertisers paid to advertise to us. we buy overpriced tickets. we buy silly hats.

sometimes people say things like, “baseball’s a business, stupid!” and we’re supposed to nod our heads and pretend like what they said was smart, or that business is just a neato part of life.

well guess what – you go root for business while I root for the A’s – and in the meantime – I’ll keep believing we have a say in where the A’s end up.

On the Seattle TV broadcast,

the replayed the triple play a billion times, and yet in none of those replays did they do the thing where they showed the play at 1B in slo-mo in order to find out if the call was right.

Did they suspect he was safe and thus decide not to show it? Or do they just not care? Seems like usually TV producers love to show that stuff.

no one writes sick songs like RT

Always move in pairs and travel light
A loose friend’s an enemy, keep it tight
Always leave a job the way you found it
Look for trouble coming and move around it

That’s the way we make love
That’s the way we make love
That’s the way we make love

Always make your best moves late at night
Always keep your tools well out of sight
It never pays to work the same town twice
It never hurts to be a little nice

That’s the way we make love
That’s the way we make love
That’s the way we make love

Learn the way to melt into a crowd
Never catch an eye or dress too loud
You’ve got to be invisible my friend
To find the joy on which we must depend

That’s the way we make love
That’s the way we make love
That’s the way we make love
Love, love, love, love, love

...being a role model I probably wouldn't recommend eating dirt. But at the same time, I'm not trying to be a role model. I'm just trying to eat some dirt.

Poor guy. I want him to get one measly hit just to get the pressure off.

he'll be fine

he’ll strike out a lot, but he’ll be good for the occasional awe-inspiring 500-ft. HR and whatever he does he’ll do it better than Matt Carson, for crying out loud.

Good night friends. Hopefully you're all slumbering already and dreaming of future Carter bombs.

I told ya I’d be the last here and I keep my promises!

Nope, I'm still here!

…Last!

I should really sleep.

Wuertz was scratched from a minor league game on Wednesday, but bounced back quickly on Thursday, throwing mostly fastballs and sliders, although he did mix in three sliders. -Rotoworld
