I almost thought that said "players who can not play this game."
Chip, chip, chip, chip.

I should have said "MAY not play in this game".

someone mentioned earlier aubrey huff had been ejected. i assume that makes him unavailable as well.

ain't that the truth!
/psst…when was he available?
I’m off of research as well. It was a mother of a habit to kick, but I think I’m doing much better now.

fuck.
i mean i think it’s sad that such is the case, but pro sports is a tremendously competitive environment without a ton of payoff for the players. which is why i really like what sheehan said about the draft. we’re screwing the players so we can have fun. that doesn’t seem right.

if you're question is what was bad about steriods use in MLB for reasons other than
the context which allowed it to precipitate:
1. its harmful to your health
2. its illegal
but what i was trying to say is fuck all that, there were much more significant ethical dilemmas in the history of baseball than jose canseco winning the mvp over mike greenwell.

My question with the Aybar play is
Why didnt he just tag AJ? He was no more than a foot away from him when he lobbed it. He basically just dropped it over AJs shoulder.

you don't need to denigrate yourself d00d
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
sadly no
but it would give you some insight into how much luck is indeed a factor in this game. having pitched, there was nothing more frustrating than to do my job, get a groundball only to see it hop over a glove for a single. i always thought there were earned runs by the traditional definition and earned runs by my definition. batted ball type and, within that, the relative velocity of the ball off the bat are about all you can sort of control.
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
what has that got to do with them all trying to
twat the ball out of the ground in the first innings? against a pitcher who walks a lot of batters?

were you listening to the o's announcers too intently?
they didn’t know what they were talking about, for one. and for two: why wouldn’t they try to end the game with one swing? a home run is literally worth a win in that situation.

I, for one, fully support the use of that particular word as a verb.

Yes
If only they were smarter, their line drives would’ve fallen.

this team is so ungrindy

I just assume AJ will fall down or something and we'll get to play some more.

Well, that was fucking pathetic...
I don’t know who to be pissed off at more. Pierzynski for failing to get a bunt down or Ozzie for being stupid enough to consistently call for his players to bunt when every Sox fan in the world knows that Sox players suck at bunting.

I don't think...
that Ramirez is worse than Adam Russell.

Yeah, that's pretty classic...
Not yanking him after the leadoff single to Markakis? What the hell was that?
"god, you’re fucking stupid."

I love Ozzie
I just wish he’d be better at second-guessing himself after the fact, like I am. PS I rule
Lisa needs braces ... DENTAL PLAN
Ozzie...
always putting his players in the best position to fail.
Making Anderson and Pierzynski bunt?
What the fuck in Christ’s name is that shit?
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
Yes, always. Perpetually.
How he has a winning record is beyond me.
Chip, chip, chip, chip.

defensible at least
but all you have to do is check the run expectancy charts

well that and probably throw in some context like the batters and that sort of thing
i mean Q had an approximately 30% chance of a base hit (or if you think he’s got some clutchiness to him, say 33%). that’s a start anyway.

I'm talking about your usage of absolutes. Here we go, with no subtlety whatsoever:
OZZIE IS NOT ALWAYS PUTTING HIS PLAYERS IN THE BEST POSITION TO FAIL. IF HE WERE, HIS LINEUP WOULD BE ALL PITCHERS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PAUL KONERKO, WHO WOULD PLAY CENTER.
JIM THOME WOULD START AND BE ASKED TO THROW 200 PITCHES, RELIEVED BY JERRY OWENS AND HIS FANTASTIC ARM.
A.J. PIERZYNSKI WOULD ONLY BE USED AS A PINCH RUNNER.
By speaking in absolutes, you’re ALWAYS guaranteed to be wrong.
Chip, chip, chip, chip.

also: being excessively attached to being right
rather than wanting to know the truth.

If I was a caterpillar and you were a caterpillar I would metamorphosize into a butterfly so that you could see the vast potential of your great beauty. And then you would change, and we would have changed. And it would be beautiful. Change is beautiful.
