Good flick
Winning, Brewers fighting in the dugout apparently.
How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?

good
im glad CoPat came in and made the out for us instead of one of our relief pitchers. God forbid they ever get to make an out for themselves.

Did I miss a near brawl?
I was outside watching the tornado pour over Chicago. Should I get out of my third floor apartment? Why is the local NBC affiliate showing American Gladiators and not the tornado?
American Gladiators is a bigger threat to our society

"Tornado!
You’re about to take on Little Ukraine in the Gauntlet. How does being a tornado give you an advantage, brother?”

prince and their starting pitcher got into it in their dugout
"I never use a big word when a diminutive one will work." — Pete Mackanin.
Word is
They were walking in the dugout having an “adult discussion” and Parra flung his jacket in the general direction of Fielder. Prince shoved Parra into the bench, then in the face. Fielder was then restrained by four teammates and one C. Montgomery Burns.

According to the Yanks announcers
Josh Hamilton leads the lead in swing and misses, but hardly ever strikes out.

they said it means...
...he makes adjustments during the at-bat, while players who strike out a lot don’t.

Apparently he's trying to make it a possible win situation
for Cordero now.
I think we overmeet as a society.

EdE just cant handle hitting in the 3 hole
its just too much pressure. Dusty should know better.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Aug 4, 2008 9:34 PM EDT reply actions
I don't know what's more ridiculous
Stating that he can’t handle hitting third after 45 plate appearances spread out over 4 seasons.
Or
Dusty batting him third because he hit the Brewers well in 33 plate appearances this season.
Bend over and drop your pants, Mr. Babar.
coco's last save ....

he always slumps in august
"I never use a big word when a diminutive one will work." — Pete Mackanin.
BK posted his numbers yesterday
He’s a .282 hitter in July for his career. .227 and .222 for August and September, respectively.
"I never use a big word when a diminutive one will work." — Pete Mackanin.
Last season he batted .276/.443/.621 in August; 2004: .262/.350/.650
He doesn’t always slump in August.
Bend over and drop your pants, Mr. Babar.
that's encouraging ... i hope he keeps it up this year
"I never use a big word when a diminutive one will work." — Pete Mackanin.
unfortunately
his current pattern for August does not bode well for a good month this year:
2001: 1.088 OPS
2002: .588 OPS
2003: .588 OPS (just 50 PAs because of injury)
2004: 1.001 OPS
2005: .795 OPS
2006: .700 OPS
2007: 1.064 OPS
So, August 2008 and August 2009 probably won’t be very good. That’s concrete evidence right there.
Bend over and drop your pants, Mr. Babar.
This is like the SATs, right?
What’s next in the sequence…
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I have a visual
Of Dunn “slumped” at his locker staring longingly at Kearns’ picture hanging in a heart-shaped “BFF” frame. Made me giggle.
How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?
Not right away he didn't
In his first 16 games after Kearns was traded: .404/.528/.649
In the 56 games after that: .176/.307/.346
Bend over and drop your pants, Mr. Babar.
that's because august has started

Cueto just needs 3 more wins to give the Reds 3 ten game winners
on this team? It’s weird.
Bend over and drop your pants, Mr. Babar.
That was a little too exciting...
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I'm never here for game threads, but I thought this would amuse you all
Current batting lines:
Bronson Arroyo: .225/.260/.341
Corey Patterson: .194/.217/.341
Often wrong, never uncertain.
Can he play center field?

Aaacckkkk!
Heart palpatation…all better now.
Has CoCo thrown a 1-2-3 save all year?
Joba Chamberlain
struck out Josh Hamilton with a beautiful breaking ball. (Hamilton’s 0 for 3 so far tonight.)
But Joba’s just left the game with an apparent shoulder injury. Terrible news for the Yankees.

I would be STUNNED
If it’s not Pete. Any fan vote always goes to him.

I don't thionk it's fair to resent him if he's named the franchise player.
The guy did actually have a pretty good career.
It's
a two cocksucker showdown.

He did
But as it turns out, their rankings went Bench/Rose/Robinson. Fan vote coming up.

Pete of course.
Bucky Walters? How many Reds fans know who that is…
"My wife ain't never ran and got me no pheasant." - Fistbands
by BK on Aug 4, 2008 10:48 PM EDT up reply actions
I do.
Bucky is one of the greatest Cincinnati Red’s pitchers of all time (if not the greatest). Walters led the league with wins 3 times including 27 wins in 1939, 22 wins in 1940 and 23 wins in 1944.

Fan vote goes Rose/Bench/Bucky Walters.

I can't believe they haven't called this Cubs game!
I guess the tornado didn’t rip down Wrigley, but they did have to evacuate the fans. Anyway, it’s been at least 2 1/2 hours, but they haven’t called the game yet.
I make silly comments under the assumption that you're not in harm's way of course.

Please don't joke about tornados in Chicago
I lived through one and it was about as bad as you would expect. But, on second thought, nothing is so bad that it does not deserve some humor.

Fuck tornados
I’ve managed to be in seven total in my life. Not good times. Bad times.

It was
this one. If you scan down in the article, you’ll find Oswego as the touchdown point for the F5. I was out on the football practice field at Oswego High for summer 2-a-days and we watched the funnel cloud come down (Fuck what that article says) everyone hauled ass into the school.

I made it out fine after a long insane day. And of course, I glad. Just think of the stupid shit I would have missed.

Dusty Baker
I witness report
the Reds won. I kinda felt like Bronson was struggling, he threw a shit ton of pitches. His control seemed off causing him to often pitch deep into counts. The game wasn’t particuarly interesting. Especially after the no-hitter was ended in the 5th. The drive home sucked.
The Dusty Path to the World Series!*
*Note this is not an endorsment of Dusty Baker.
Sorry man...Blame Dusty Baker. He's a dullard.
And certainy not my choice for manager
