Tales of misfortune from around the league.  We may have gotten swept, but these things could have happened to us:

Jason Kendall is out for the next eight-to-ten months as he'll require shoulder surgery. Not just a snarky Royals fan's latest joke, but a reality.

the dodgers

I don’t believe that. Something fishy there.

The Stadium is paid for, the second biggest media market., attendance is fine, Payroll isn’t too bad.

I think Vero beach was wholly owned by the team. Something doesn’t add up.

In debt does not mean no net worth

I’m in debt, because I owe money on my house.
my net worth is positive, because my house is worth more than my mortgage + credit cards.

by MobiusKlein on Sep 3, 2010 4:33 PM PDT up reply actions  

right

My point is, what debt do they have? There shouldn’t be that much debt service because the stadium was paid for 30 years ago. The baseball operations shouldn’t be $430M per year. there is something I just don’t get.

I voted for the Dr Pepper category on the assumption that “Dr Pepper products” means not other products created by the makers of Dr Pepper, but rather various generic brand “doctor” sodas made by others in imitation of Dr Pepper. The latter is what I drink all the time.

Oops, I stand corrected.

On closer look, Trinity really is “coke”, with a grand total of two respondents.

By the way, my impression of Trinity Co is that it’s not very Jeffersonish. I’ve driven all over northern California — real northern, I mean; not the Bay Area, which is only northern by comparison to L.A. — and I sense the most Jefferson feeling in Siskiyou and Humboldt counties.

The northern part of Trinity Co would seem to be Jeffersonish, as an extension of Scott Valley in Siskiyou Co (I really love the Scott Valley, by the way), except that no one actually lives there. Actually, hardly anyone lives in Trinity Co at all, but the few that do are all down at the southern end near Weaverville, which is very country. (Though not as country as Whiskeytown, which feels very much like its name suggests.)

You know what bothers me about that?

The first guy knows this pitcher can’t throw an intentional ball and is wild. So why not swing at ball 4 and make him throw 6 or 7 intentional balls to walk you? If it gets to a full count, odds are they’re still going to try to walk you and if not, so what, just go up there ready to swing the bat if it comes to it.

I walked past three young women in Angels gear who were taking a picture of their Rally Monkey propped up on a decorative rock. I wanted to walk back and mention something to them about THIRD PLACE, but I was with my two small great-nieces, and I didn’t want them to pick up any bad language from the Angels girls, and the four-year-old had to pee but insisted on going home to do it (they live across the street from the Park, so this was not entirely unreasonable)…so I let them be.
