Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Game 50 Part 2: Third time through the lineup's the charm.

We're in the fifth, and it looks like the Phillies are up 3-0.  I'd like for that to change.

And yeah, the Amtrak pricing is on a bucket system

so the prices will rise as the dates get closer, and are already high for some times. But if you need an Amtrak ticket that’s pricey at a particular time, let me know! I have Amtrak miles to spare.

That's interesting.

The DC to Cincy route is exactly the same price every time I purchase it.

by the finest muffins on May 25, 2011 8:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, that particular stop-to-stop trip probably isn't purchased much.

Of course, the thing about Amtrak is that they have the most ridiculous return policy. You can get a refund at any time! So there’s no penalty to locking in a price early, other than losing the use of your money for a bit.

so apparently lil' Darren Baker got in trouble with his little league coach for showing a temper

Dusty said that he couldn’t be a hypocrite, he couldn’t talk to this son about being cool when he wasn’t when he played. So he brought Joey over to talk. Joey told Darren that his teammates rely on him and he has to show a good example in order to be respected and in order to be part of a winnign team.

My favorite "fact" from the wikipedia article on it:
Before Time Cube, Ray advocated the sport of marbles. He authored a book titled Mr. Marbles – Marbles for Everyone,and got the city council of St. Petersburg, Florida to proclaim a “Marbles Week” in the 1970s. In 1987, this became a controversial attempt to establish a million dollar marble tournament inside a huge round structure and establish a philosophical “Order of the Sphere”.

I would hate to lose this game

But no matter what happens, you have to be impressed with their performance against Halladay, and Wood’s ability to gut through a game where he wasn’t at his best.

Not as much as some people, but I think they’re really solid.

That said, that wouldn’t stop me from punching Win Butler on the street if I ever saw him. Guy looks like the biggest hipster douche in the world, even by hipster douche standards. Not to mention, his name is Win, he is from Houston, and he hangs out with a bunch of French Canadians.
