Cowboy tanks a perfectly good sponsor

Yeah, that was funny.
Did he say he doesn’t like subways? Silly Cowboy.

Well, he's generally afraid of cities
so I’m guessing he’s also afraid of transit.
Still not a candidate.
Kelch was giving the commercial and Cowboy asked if there was a subway in town.
Kelch says, “guys how many Subways are around here?”
Cowboy says “Oh, you mean the restaurant!”

I feel like, in every game, USMNT will have 3 of the best 4 players on the field.
this is a good thing.

and after Chicharito its…Dos Santos? Marquez?

dos Santos kind of sucks now
I’d put Marquez up there though. Mexico’s team is pretty barren right now… I’ll be really interested to see if they can beat Costa Rica next week.

Sometimes it's entertaining to follow a game via text message updates.
I got home around the 4th inning but decided to have a beer with my roommate instead of heading straight for my computer to follow the game. But I still checked the score occasionally. So one minute, it’s bases loaded, one out, Cairo at the plate, 4-1. The next minute it’s 8-1, bases empty, still 1 out, Hernandez up. I was trying to figure out a scenario in which that didn’t mean a grand slam, but I’m glad to see that’s what really happened. YEAAAAHHH, OLD GIZA!

Well, without competing anecdotal information, you have to assume ...

Or you could assume that since you have no other reason to think there's a relationship

There is much more than anecdotal information to support Power's role

I think it is different
I think pitchers are afraid that Dusty Baker is going to ruin their arm, so they freak out pitch really terrible for the big league club, and go down and spend time with Rick Sweet and relax and pitch much better.
I don't argue I correct.
I wonder how much young pitchers pay attention to the
“Dusty Baker ruins arms” line

I agree with this. This is such a concocted lie, that I think almost ...
… no pitcher or coach believes that.
The baby under the basket is a very powerful talisman, only to be used in times of great distress.
There could be some merit to it. I mean in 2003 Wood and Prior's pitch counts were extremely high.
But, that was still a time in the game when pitchers pitched much longer. I don’t think it led to their demise at all.

Well, that's been beaten like an old rug
The truth is that the number of pitchers in MLB who have been injured by other managers is never considered when the same-old Prior and Wood example is dredged up again and again. Hell, how many of LaRussa’s arms have been on the shelf? Nobody says anything about him.
Or a dozen other managers. Just Baker, because it’s a convenient reusable lie.

Chicago media created the lie and promoted it
and it got to be easier for Cubs fans to swallow when they started looking around for still somebody else to blame for fucking away another pennant.
When they didn’t repeat anything in 04, they started to get angry. Baker was a convenient target and by 06, the front office had jacked itself off so badly that all that remained was to blame Dusty for the downfall of the dynasty.
It also pays to remember that the time Derek Lee got hurt, the Cubs went about 48 days before they replaced him with somebody named Phil Nevin.
The baby under the basket is a very powerful talisman, only to be used in times of great distress.
At the same time, I think Dusty realized he made a mistake
For the most part his pitchers in Cincinnati have been at a cap around 110 pitches, Arroyo and Harang are really the only pitchers who regularly went over 110 under Dusty, and I can’t really think of any time where a pitcher went up to 130 or so.
So while Dusty will never say he let Prior and Wood throw too many pitches I think he knows he did, or at the very least the Cincinnati organization have put more restraints pitcher usage than the Cubs did.
I don't argue I correct.
Whatever works is fine with me.
I just support a winning team. I see what has worked and I draw my conclusions from that. A deeper investigation could make me look very foolish. I frankly wouldn’t mind but so far, I think not.
The baby under the basket is a very powerful talisman, only to be used in times of great distress.
It could be argued that's it's realmatically connected ...

I am now officially ready to join the Miggy fanclub.
I irrationally hated him for all of last year and the beginning of this year, but he just keeps producing. He also seems like he really has fun playing professional baseball and enjoys himself more than most. I think it was the Friday night game in Atlanta when it clicked for me. We were sitting down close behind the Reds dugout and I could see Cairo pretty well from my vantage point and he just had this shit eating grin on his face the whole time.
His face in this picture sums it up:
Let a man come in and do the Popcorn.
that is what I like about him, too
The fact that he still acts like a little leaguer when he plays. It would be obnoxious in another player, but is somehow just childlike and innocent in him.
When he was with the Yankees, he would clap his hands with excitement and do a little dance whenever he got on base.

Call me Dusty-crazy
but there IS something fantastic about Mike Leake’s eyes. I tend to think it’s more along the lines of “mild mischief” than “gentleness,” but still.

I am not toooooooo worried that Pujols has about 5 HR this week.
Not much.
The baby under the basket is a very powerful talisman, only to be used in times of great distress.
I'm not because it means some of their pitching staff
will regress and Berkman will start batting .270 /things getting back to normal
Did anyone post Chappie's AA line?
2/3 IP, 3 hits, 1 BB, 1 HR, 2 ER. AA ERA at 40.50. 24 pitches, 12 strikes.
Might take more than two appearances to straighten that out.

Astros truly suck.
What amazes me is the Pirates. There is no real good reason for them to be almost at. .500.

But they are beating other teams, including the Reds

thats because they have a better team than the Cubs and Astros do
they’re able to actually win a few games, where as the Cubs and Astros are not

I’m a fan of short hair EV. He ws dealing some nasty stuff tonight. I hope he is right for at least another 5 games.
Regarding the Mike Leake hug. Does Mike look a litle robotic in that picture? Holding back a bit I mean. I still ike the pic though.
I like how he pitched, but I don't like the shaved head.
He looks weird. Not like himself.

The Astros are the worst
That being said, if we lose this division because the Cardinals never lose, I can live with that

i still hate the astros the most
they used to be the ones to win the division every year
they’ve always been my least favorite central division team
I'm with you on this
They always seemed like this big, soulless machine of winning… plus they took the division in ‘99. I hated them. It also helps that I’ve never met an Astros fan. I know people who root for all the other Central division teams.

do they exist? Maybe they are like bigfoots and only appear at night and bury their dead in hidden locations

And I’ve never seen him get worked up over the team

I don't know. Have spent very little time in Cleveland or its metro area.
But one of Cleveland’s suburbs has a swanky high-rise apartment building with the same name as the lower-middle-class Cincinnati neighborhood that I grew up in. It amuses me greatly.

there's a Kenilworth everywhere
in Illinois, Kenilworth is the super-duper wealthy place where the first non-white Protestant moved in in 1977. In Maryland, Kenilworth’s largest taxpayer is a pawn shop.

Now you're insinuating that they're a person.

If your dog is a someone, that makes all animals a someone
which would make bugs a someone, which would mean you’ve killed someone countless times. Therefore, you are a murderer.
