10/13/2011: The Day They Forgot The Game Thread

Unfortunately there was no game thread for the Tigers vs. Rangers.
Fortunately, the Tigers won anyway.
Justin Verlander is a man made of iron, although he didn't have his best stuff. As previously noted, C. J. Wilson is a whiny little douche.
Also, one of the ESPN radio announcers in the ninth inning said something like: "Texas does not want this to go to Game 7. Fister, not again. Not after the movement he had on them last time."
We now take you to gamethreading for the Beer League match. Matt Holliday (puke) has caused the score to become 1 to nothing.

Thanks, EM
Stops us from cluttering Dan’s post about the expansion into the AL West

The auto-linky thing didn't recognize C. j. Wilson
I suppose that’s because I put in too many spaces after his initials. Or maybe the auto-linky won’t link if the words “whiny little douche” appear within 10 words of the player’s name?

haha....perhaps it's a special AN feature to not recognize those that don't deserve to BE recognized!

Sooooo - back to recipes....I was looking for Halloween themed recipes and I found one for black squid ink pasta
has anyone ever seen this in a store?

Probably the Pasta Shop would have it. Whole Foods, maybe?

I wasn't wild about it
It’s kind of….inky. Bitterish, Not terrible, but not great. Supposedly, if you cook it properly it’s not bitter but umami.

Incredibly delicious.

The peeling, seeding and chopping of the butternut squash
made me a no. Raleys has acorn squash for 39 cents a pound, and I was going to go for that. But, I never found a recipe that I was wild about. The recipe I’’m making is tried and true. I just want to have fun.
yes....there is not much in the way of good seasonal recipes!

OT comment:
I took my mental heath final today. It was REALLY hard. In a break the teacher went to run the test through the grading machine but realized she didn’t have the correct key. So teacher is just going to have us grade them in class. We start going through them, and NO ONE GOT A SINGLE QUESTION RIGHT. I had a TIA. The teacher then realizes she AGAIN didn’t pick up the right answer key. We’ve already marked up the Scantron sheets so she’s going to grade them by hand. At lunch, she comes to talk to us. We took the wrong test. The test we took was for year 2 students. She says she’s going to throw out questions that we didn’t study, but she was going to have to toss out more than half the questions. Our final? Didn’t happen. She ended up keeping TEN POINTS and using it as a quiz grade. LOL
It's a meta-test to see which students are driven crazy by the exam

Mom and Daddy were in town today and took me to lunch.
I was supposed to meet them after class. I showed up at 12:15 and class was over at 11:50. I was rushing to eat, and she says, “What’s the hurry? You don’t have to be back until one.”
Me: “No. Those times are mere suggestions. Class is over at ten till, but you don’t really get out until 5 after. You are expected to be in class at least 10-15 minutes early.So I have 10 minutes to inhale lunch.”
There are no accidents
Clearly, she had some unconscious desire to flunk you all.

I think she got herself a new one ripped by our program director.
She came into class looking like she was going to cry. I thought, HA! Cry, bitch. Now you know how we feel.
We cried a lot in class today.
We did a “tapestry of influence” over who has inspired us and the characteristics they have we want to carry with us. I spoke about Dr. Hottie and the time he fixed someone’s finger with my hair tie and a paperclip.
One guy spoke about his baby who died of leukemia, and that opened up the waterworks.

Posting this from the cafeteria at Lucille Packard Children's Hospital
After about 2 and a half weeks of hell, little miss specialK was admitted last night around midnight. The good news is that it’s nothing life-threatening, just a problem with, shall we say, a certain type of movement (of lack thereof).
I don't feel that I'm feeling your feelings, about these feelings that you feel.
I'm sorry she is having problems, drK.
I pray they can help her get well.

No kidding!
The Dr gave some to me and told me to go straight home. I LIVE 1HOUR FROM HIS OFFICE!!! You talk about a panic to get home!
"Trying not to rec a "F**k the Giants" post is like trying not to look at boobs."
My biggest mistake
I scheduled the procedure for 7:00 am. When I read the instructions for the prep, I realized the second dose of that stuff was to be taken 5 hours BEFORE the appointment, so I had to get up at 2 am to poison myself. It was damn near impossible to force that crap down at that hour of the morning. Never again – next time, I’m taking an afternoon procedure.
I don't feel that I'm feeling your feelings, about these feelings that you feel.
That sucks
I got that bizarre recipe below from a colon cancer patient btw.
i got freaked out and do it a couple times a week, good breakfast actually.
It's a few different things.
They don’t make you drink that salty drink anymore because it depleted electrolytes. They use GoLytely now because it doesn’t cause an imbalance. Fleets is an enema.
Fleet also makes a endoscopy prep as well as the enemas.
I don't feel that I'm feeling your feelings, about these feelings that you feel.
The prep is the worst part
First, you have to fast for a day, so of course you get hungry as hell. Then, you get the above-mentioned prep. The procedure itself, though, is a breeze – they usually give you a general, so you sleep through the whole thing. Also, after my last one, I was saying some strange things in the recovery room, like how the prep should be made to taste like beer.
Actually, that’s an awesome idea.
I don't feel that I'm feeling your feelings, about these feelings that you feel.
You can't eat or drink, you've been shitting your guts out for 24 hours,
THEN THEY TRY TO START AN IV. I had an IVP, and you need a 20g for the contrast. It took 8 sticks.
And there ain't no holding it back, either!

I love it when they tell you to count backwards from 100.
I got to 99.
I just got the letter from my Dr, that I’m due again….

I'm glad I have Kaiser
They don’t do screening colonoscopies on people without symptoms or family history….they just send out little test-your-own-poop kits once a year.

I had Kaiser as well.
They did the first invasive proceedure, and removed 5 polyps. Then they told my new Dr that it was time.

Well hopefully 1 or 2 of the 6-7 bruisers we signed, collected, and scraped off the floor-
Will pan out.
I love saying Ka’aihue, so musical.
Weeks, Choice, Carter, Taylor, Green, Allen, and Cardenas
It’s pretty safe to say Weeks will continue to be a very good impact player. If Choice and one or two of the other guys can really blossom, then we should be in good shape moving forward. I’d hate to see one of those guys get traded and become the next Nelson Cruz. They should all get a good shot to stick with us.

Weeks is keeping me a fan to be honest.
I bought a jersey in August just in case we trade him….
I actually think ( read hope ) Taylor might have a good year now that there’s no heavy expectations.
I’ve dropped my expectations on Green now that he’s in the OF.
I REALLY hope Allen can adjust, those moon shots, incredible…
His 11' stats are Cal league so not sure how to take it, but damn...

Is it verified that the Astros will be in the AL West, or is it just looking like it?

Just wanted to say, Go Brewers! It’s fun watching a game thread on AN for the Brewers, my “other” favorite team. (yes, WiscoFan means I am from Wisconsin). Was at the NLDS games #1 and #5, hopefully make a couple more this October. If the Crew played the A’s I’d be torn in a World Series for no other reason than the Brewers haven’t won it yet (obviously).
