I don't have this damn channel, but I also cater to the hoi when I can.  So here you go.  While I'm here,  I don't suppose any of you can have Brent Musberger permanently silenced can you?  No?  Damnit.

Also, I forgot “The Barber” Maglie was pitching for the Dodgers. Gives up Thompson’s “Shot Heard ’Round the World” 2 years earlier, then loses to a perfect game with a different team. Tough.

Did you noticed the black guy (Newk) gets the toughest blade?

OK, I am totally serious now. I have just had a major epiphany and may have come closer to discovering my True Purpose in life. My parents were married 10/6/56. This game was played 10/8/56. My mother was a virgin when my folks married, so their honeymoon was the first time Dad got any action from Mom. I was born 9 months and 5 days after their wedding.

I was probably conceived during this game. I shit you not. I’m not sure what this means but is sure is raising the hair on the back of my neck. I got to call the folks tomorrow.

It's hard for me to follow.

I feel like I can’t see the ball within ten feet of the catcher. I’ve seen a lot of strikes called that I swear were way outside. But…I really do think that’s because I lose the ball at the last blink.

Happy New Year!

I’ve been out of the SSS loop thanks to the chaos that is the “holiday season” at my home. Most nights I was too exhausted to even turn my computer on. I have come back to work to de-compress. I had forgotten about the MLB Network launch and I was relieved to discover it is channel 213 on DirecTV. I guess Dish subscribers are currently SOL.

The girls are great. They turned 6 in November. Christmas was insane as usual. Lots of local travel during crazy weather here that included single-digit temps, snow storms and ice, followed by huge rain (my kids were woken by thunder one morning), 50+ degrees and terrible fog.

Someday I WILL move to Arizona!

Dodgers cutting ties with Andruw Jones.

I know he was beyond horrible last year, but I still think he might be worth a 1 year incentive deal.

if we had a decent hitting coach, might not be a bad idea.

if his collapse isn’t skill related, the next logical idea is a mechanical root – namely, an inability to get the appropriate “lift” on the ball, which caused more ground balls. query whether one wants to roll that dice even for the minimum after two pretty offensive offensive years.

by larry on Jan 3, 2009 7:17 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

he'd be a nice risk

supposedly (that is to say CHONE says) he can still play CF. if he can’t outplay BA…well we’ve still got BA. if driveline mechanics wanted to proof its worth, diagnosing Andruw Jones would be a moneymaker.

For an extra $500,000

will he agree to spell his name “Andrew”?

Same deal for Chone Figgins to go with either “Sean” or “Shawn.” Or, go in a completely different direction and change it to “Chode.”

They have to cut him first before you can get him for league minimum

in the mean time, they’ll try to trade him on the restructured deal

Beginning Wednesday, street light banners commemorating a series of special events in Chicago are going on the auction block for charity. Some of the banners were shown off Tuesday, including those featuring Pres. Barack Obama both before and after his election. A White Sox World Series Championship banner, signed by pitcher Mark Buehrle, is also being sold, as is a Blackhawks playoff banner signed by Denis Savard and Stan Mikita. The bidding starts at 12 p.m. Wednesday at Daley Center. Money raised goes to help the Chicago Anti-hunger Federation and the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
