| It's amazing what having Cliff Lee does to the Phillies rotation. Now they are up 1-0 and are pitching Cole Hamels. That's gotta be a huge boost to them. Aaron Cook is no pushover though, so this should be a pretty good game. Of course, now that I've just talked about the pitching, it'll probably be a 10-9 game. |

 |
|
 |
| Expect to hear a lot of talk in this game about a 21-year old starting a playoff game, but Clayton Kershaw is more than just a regular 21-year old. Adam Wainwright is in contention for the Cy Young award this year, but I can't see him topping Tim Lincecum or his teammate Chris Carpenter. Should be a good pitching matchup in this one. |
||
 |
|
 |
| Finally, as predicted in the Bible, we'll see the epic battle of the proper way to spell Jo(h)n. Jon Lester vs. John Lackey. Will the "h" prevail, or will its superfluousness be proven. Tune in to find out! |

Hamels has left the ballpark
Apparently, his wife went into labor.

is he a doctor or midwife?
i mean sometimes Walt is like a prison shower, you know it is gonna happen, but it isn’t a good thing.
What was he thinking?
This is worse than getting married in October. He’s going to miss the kid’s birthday every year they’re in the post-season.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
that is a good point
he could demand to be traded to a non-playoff contending team, such as the Pirates. I’d suggest the Reds, but I think his addition might take us to the playoffs lol.

my college roommate
was really into women’s ice hockey. She played in college, and afterwards. She eventually quit when she realized that her teammates were all timing their pregnancies so they wouldn’t miss any playing time. She thought that was a little obsessive.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
IME
That kind of thing doesn’t make up for your absence.
Not to mention, the kid might end up hating baseball.
That happened to a friend of mine who is a big-time sports fan. He dreamed of taking his son to ball games, and even signed up for Jets season tickets before the kid was born (because the waiting list was so long).
He ended up giving up his season tickets. The kid hated sports from almost the moment he was born, and still does.

if I were a Rockies fan
I’m sure I would be clamoring for the HBP lol I won’t suggest it to the Rockies, though, because their HBPs are too hardcore. They took Rolen out of the lineup for weeks.
Well, since the offseason is for speculating...
Riddle me this:
Detroit beat writer is speculating that Granderson may be shopped this offseason, and the Tigers (due to Zumaya’s injury history and Rodney/Lyon being free agents) will need a closer. They hint that a middle infielder and a replacement OF may be necessary to get the deal done.
Would you, oh fervent RR’s, send CoCo/Dickerson/ and one of Cozart/Valaika/Frazier to get Granderson? An OF of Granderson/Stubbs/Bruce/Gomes would be electric both offensively and defensively, and we’d have to have Masset step up as closer.
Salary wise, it would even save a few bones. Keep in mind Granderson hit 30 HR’s this year, and is a year removed from a 20hr/20double/20triple/20steal/20hamburger/20touchdown season.
Oh yeah, he can leadoff too.

and Jesus, Texas has a ton of counties.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
why are you entering county-level data?
i mean sometimes Walt is like a prison shower, you know it is gonna happen, but it isn’t a good thing.
It's historical data
on the holder a mortgage on every single family, nonfarm house in 1940. It’s straight out of Census reports, but there are still over 3,000 counties…and I’m entering 9 numbers for each.

Holy crap. I had no idea.

8th inning and Wainwright is still in and struggling a bit
Seems very un-Tony like. I’d expect him to be on his 4th or 5th reliever by now.
Matt Holliday tried to catch a fly in his crotch
James Loney gets a gift double. LAD down one, two outs in the ninth.
wow
Dramatic ending, And it’s former Red Mark Loretta with the walkoff hit.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
argghhh
That’s former Red Sock Mark Loretta, of course.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
that was a difficult loss for them
what is wrong with the Cards? If they can’t win with Carpenter and Wainwright, I don’t know how they can win any games.
maybe playing at home will help
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
too bad the reds tanked in june, july, and august
if it wasn’t for sucking for half a season this team coulda contended with the Cards, and a post season rotation of Arroyo, Cueto, and Bailey is nothing to sneeze at……
i mean sometimes Walt is like a prison shower, you know it is gonna happen, but it isn’t a good thing.
Cards go 0-2
with 2 of the 3 leading Cy Young candidates starting. I’m looking forward to the first time I see a GIF of the Holliday error.
just one...

Wow
so, i had to go out of town today because my aunt died, and we were going to her visitation and funeral. I am currently in a hotel in Prestonsburgh, KY. (Caleb knows where that is)
Cameron started with a cough last night, and was feeling like crap all day. We took her to urgent care, and it turns out she has both strep throat and the pig flu. They gave here medicine, and we will be heading back home early in the morning. Unfortunately, we are going to have to skip the funeral.
Also, on the office tonight, Dwight was drinking a Yuengling Black and Tan, and I thought that was cool.
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
Hope she gets better man.

one of the kids chan watches was diagnosed with the pig flu today
he is in first grade, so i assume he got it at school.
i have no idea where the strep came from
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
my bro, years ago
once had flu and strep. The Flu makes it easy for opportunistic infections to strike. My guess is she must have started with the flu first. Strep requires closer contact than most illnesses. A sneeze or cough in close proximity can cause it.
sorry about your aunt
and your kid. at least the office delivered the goods, right? that has to dull the sting a bit.

one way to have some fun with strep avoidance
I read that red wine can kill the strep bacteria in your mouth, so start drinking!
My prayers are with her (strep and pig flu!?!!)
I think I just had pig flu and it sucked. If you can, get tamiflu, it speeds up the illness alot, so it only lasts 3 days instead of 7. But strep with it? That is rough.
the dr said she couldn't have any medicine to treat the flu because of her age
but if she starts throwing up, we have to take her to the emergency room.
she got some antibiotics for the strep throat, and she doesn’t like taking them :-(
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
I didn't even think of the age issue
I hope she recovers quickly, that just stinks, but the antibiotics will KO that strep quick
So much for my suggestion of a shot of Jack...

it isn't that unusual to get strep ontop of other illnesses
the immune system is already weakened. I had strep when I had mono.
