Such a great team

I haven’t heard much of Kelch, but he’s been gold every time I have. And seems to be the only one that can occasionally take Marty down a peg (and knows just when and how often to do it).

The scary thing is if he’s throwing that FB for strikes, the slider is going to be unhittable. That’s a wicked pitch on it’s own, but combined with 102 MPH heat? Forget it.

So… it seems like to me Aroldis has been ready for a couple of weeks and would have been competitive this whole time. I’m thinking that Walt brought him up now, so that (1) it’s clear he’s on the 25-man, (2) so he could have 1 outing to strike fear in the hearts of the Cardinals, and (3) not be seen too much at the Major League-level that anybody could have “figured” him out before facing the Card’s. (Frankly, I think figuring him out will be the equivalent of Adam Dunn trying to hit a pinata blind-folded…just swing hard and pray!)

30 for 30 is pretty sweet. The rest of that station can blow the fuck up.

Except SVP.

“the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball” in quotes.

Did an announcer say that after those last two plays?

You're never as bad as you look when you lose. You're never as good as you look when you win.

by JasperRed on Aug 31, 2010 11:28 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, I heard that at some point.

Can’t remember who or when, but it did register, if barely.

I might be blacked out from tomorrow's game.

Which would really bum me out. I’ll also be very late, won’t be home till halfway through the game at best.

Except the Cuban Missile is Alexei Ramirez

Just like Cardiac Cat are the Carolina Panthers not the Cincinnati Bengals. It’s unoriginal.

Not usually, but this was pretty bad.

It’s this new “7 Minute Stretch” segment that kinda blows. If you want details, anyway.

Not a fan of that segment.

i don't watch enough tv to care

i watch the reds, the bengals, and then everything else online

honestly i’ve watched tv on my actual tv for probably <5 hours since i moved here

"There is no such thing as an innocent Gatorade cooler."

I'm not sure what you're asking about

But I don’t really actually care about MLBN, contrary to my prior “Fck MLBN” sentiment, because I don’t watch TV on TV. I watch shows online, the Reds n MLB.tv, and the Bengals on DirecTV Sunday Ticket To Go

by jsl413 on Aug 31, 2010 11:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

I guess what I'm getting at is

I don’t really count watching sports highlights on MLBN as “watching tv”

I dunno, maybe it’s all semantics, but I watch very little scripted or reality television. I do watch a shit-ton of sports, which I don’t see as the same. Eh. Maybe I’m wrong, whatev. That’s where my disconnect was.

Ditto

Haven’t turned TV on in months. Between the internet and XM, I do just fine. I will head to a watering hole for a game occasionally.

And I could care less how much time we get on SC. If they choose to let us operate in stealth mode for the time being, that is fine with me.

i babysitted by 4-YO twin nephs today and jumped on a trampoline with one on my shoulders

then chose to ride around the neighborhood on a 9YO’s scooter. Im having a hard time sitting down and think my back is moments away from totally giving out. Also, I could not be happier.

Did anyone see Magrane on MLBN discounting the 105 readings?

A friend mentioned it to me. I was hoping to see Magrane eat crow tonight.

He’s not gonna throw 105 every time. But he was sitting at ~101

by jsl413 on Aug 31, 2010 11:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

That's the thing

He was throwing 101-102 and it looked EASY. Let’s also not forget that he had to be just a tad nervous tonight.
