I Gotta Get Drunk (with da Cheat) And I Sure Do Regret It.

Throwingmotion_tiny by e-gus on Comment 336 comments

So it seems the SSS post-season meet-up has tentatively been scheduled for this weekend in the southburbs, specifically Tinley Park. Cheat, feigning knowledge of the area, has passed the buck to me, or rather, us, down here living the dream since there seems to be several SSS'ers rocking the suburbs.

Im open to either night leaning slightly toward friday, but I think our starting point should probably be Holstein's due to its close proximity to the Rock Island Line that runs from the Windy City clear out to Joliet. If you get off at the first Tinley Park stop the bar is right across the tracks. Also in walking distance are Teehans and Durbins, and I guess Cuzins and the old Tinley Pub are within a mile as well. Durbins or Holsteins probably have the best tvs, and as I mentioned before theres free pizza at holsteins on fridays, but both places will likely have live music interrupting the baseball at some point. There are tons of other bars in the area however, and we should have enough cars to haul the train commuters(cheat, om) since skanch, kenwo, myself and dr. emily lizard are all relatively local. (The thought of this motley crew just put a smile on my face actually, and no kenwo, not that crue)

So answer the poll as to what day works best for everyone and lets start to figure out a head count. [Note by The Cheat, 10/13/09 6:47 PM CDT]: Removed the poll. It's Friday.

Off of the top of my head Im guessing about 10 will commit and myself plus two other people will show up.

One of those two could be you!

This time it has nohing to do with my wife controlling my life.

For all of you that are around the area, I’ll be heading out to “The Beacon” in Oak Park to collect my winnings for the annual HR Derby pool. Yes, I’ll have my winnings and be in a great mood which makes it that much easier for you to get free drinks. The Beacon is basically a dump, so no need to dress up and impress me.

yes, devolve. My argument below.

1- no one would do an honest day’s work. Why, when you can wave your wand!
2- basic values would go out the window. everyone (teeming millions) doing whatever they want because they can cast a spell?
3- not everyone looks good in robes.
4- do you trust the weird guy who lives next door to you with magical powers? he looks at porn 3 hours a day! (I am only up to 2.5 hours…)
5- invisibilty cloaks + women’s locker rooms = endless hours of amusement!

all of the our counterable in a wizarding world

1- there are plenty of wizarding jobs
2- there is a ministry which regulates what you can or cannot due, just like an unwizardly government. crime here, and dark magic there would equal each other, really
3- not everyone looks good in jeans anyway. robes are only really worn at a place of business and/or special occasions.
4- if you dont trust your neighbor, just cast protective spells around your house.
5- invisibility cloaks are incredibly rare, so i wouldnt get too hyped up about it. there would probably be and anti-male charm at the door anyway that would detect you and repel you.

Nick Punto may be heralded as one of those rare players who, despite having little tangible hitting talent, does those little things so well that he can bring a team to the top. Don’t believe it – it’s not true. Look at Punto for what he really is – a tremendous defender who managed to put together a couple of seasons with a solid BABIP. He’s a great bench player who can adequately fill in at any non-1B infield position, but any team that starts him wont’ be a perennial playoff contender. That is, unless that team’s catcher is Joe Mauer.

http://www.insidethebook.com/ee/index.php/site/comments/nick_punto_backup_or_starter/
What’s strange is that Jack made the case of how underappreciated Punto is. He did a great job at highlighting everything. Then he made a mistake in his conclusions: he called him a great bench player (I’m not sure what that means on its own, because Pujols would be a great bench player too), but based on the rest of his statement, it’s clear he means that he should only start when needed, but a team cannot count on him to start every game if they intend to make the playoffs. This conclusion came out of nowhere.

He’s a career 8.6 WAR in 2530 PA, or an average of 2.4 WAR per 162 G. He is going to turn 32 years old, which is the only reason to POSSIBLY think of him as a bench player (or at least a platoon candidate). But, Jack didn’t talk about his age at all. Otherwise, I think Jack’s conclusion is unsupported.

Anyone think Mauer's going to lose the award due to overhype?

A la Jeter 2006, since Teixera has the HR and RBI lead the old bastards will think he’s superior to the other 1Bs, and random Jeter votes. Seems like it’ll be more interesting than its made out to be by most writers. While he obviously is the most valuable player it doesn’t mean some morons won’t vote against him for no apparent reason.

Jeter once again the MVP of 2009 (1996-2009)
Jeter, SS, Yankees: It’s crazy to think that he’s now an elder statesman of the game, but Jeter, at the age of 35, is having a vintage season. His batting average and on-base percentage are the highest they’ve been since his near-MVP year of 2006, and he broke Lou Gehrig’s all-time Yankees hits record. Most important could be the fact that his defensive ratings are the best they’ve been in years.

while i’d agree that using the average of his career performance is probably the best way to go, in the five seasons punto has been a “regular”, he’s been a pretty poor player in three of them. as in, probably would have been better to have benched him or platooned him. in his two good seasons, as jack pointed out, it was the result of a high babip. maybe it’s okay to roll the dice with punto each season in the hopes that he has a high babip season and is thus an a good, or good enough, player. the results suggest that’s plausible. and i don’t think there’s a great deal to be concerned about if nick punto is the worst or second worst player in your starting lineup. but i don’t agree completely with the criticism quoted there. perhaps jack could have made his case clearer but what he wrote i think supports the notion that punto is not necessarily a starter.

I log on today for the first time in a few days, and discover that in my slobberingly drunken state at 3 AM Sunday, I became quite responsible for this Tinley Park business. Imagine my surprise!

Remarkably, I will already be involved in a gathering at Hollstein’s on Friday night, with some out-of-town friends. This confluence of events is rather surprising.

But of course, a conundrum: the out-of-town friends I’m hanging with are hot, and I don’t need any SSS vultures swooping in and stealing my wins Cliff Politte-style. Hmmmm…

Being an Oak Park Ave. veteran, I feel the obligation to inform you all of the following:

Hollstein’s is the best bar in the vicinity, and because they know it, they charge an irritating $5 cover. However, they always have live music, and it’s usually outrageously loud. While they do have plenty of TVs, I wouldn’t necessarily call this an ideal place to watch and talk baseball.

Teehan’s is rougher around the edges, but isn’t ear-shatteringly loud. The TV situation is OK in there, and there is no cover. There is, however, the disadvantage of being plastic-free, for those of you who go that route with your tab.

Old Tinley Pub – older, more sportsbar-esque, but you can run into more live music annoyance.

Bailey’s, 177th & Oak Park, is a new joint with a good TV situation and, since my buddy’s DJ gig there last week didn’t exactly pan out, jukebox-only music. The $5 Captain’s and $6 bombs really stuck in my craw, however.

Cuzin’s is, from what I’m told, a total shithole. But as we know, shitholes are usually damn fine places to watch a ballgame.

Food for thought.

Cover Charge

Bars and clubs that use cover charges use the cover charges for several reasons. In some cases, popular bars and clubs have a substantial excess demand; patrons are lined up outside the club waiting to get in. In this case, the club can gain additional revenue from customers by requiring an entrance charge. Other bars and clubs use cover charges only on nights when there is live entertainment or a DJ, to help defray the cost of paying the band, comedian, or DJ.

Cover charges are usually much lower for local, semi-professional bands or entertainers than for better-known touring bands from other regions. In North America, the cover charge for a performance by a local teenage band may be as low as a few dollars; a show by a nationally-known band with a recording contract may have a $10 to $15 cover. Some prestigious jazz clubs and comedy clubs have both a cover charge and a minimum drink requirement.

Teehans

Can you still buy beer in cans there for like two bucks? That was always the cheapest place to drink in an area that is pretty cheap to begin with.

Also, I had to leave work earlier quite immediately, while I was in the middle of composing this message...

I don’t think that Titus was trying to protect his daughter when Mutius gets in his way, right?
Titus requested the union of Lavinia and Saturninus, but she really was in love with the other guy…with the B-name that escapes me at the moment.
His sons were trying to protect her from Titus/Saturninus, Mutius gets in the way. Right? …it’s been a while since I read it.

I just found this too:

Titus’s killing of his son Mutius in scene i of Titus Andronicus has often been supposed both a textual afterthought and a demonstration of the hero’s stiff Roman rectitude. Evidence of many kinds from many hands shows that Titus I. i is written by George Peele, although the structure of the play as a whole, as Gary Taylor notes, is clearly Shakespeare’s. Peelean habits of immediate repetition add to the evidence of disrupted continuities that have led readers to identify the Mutius passage as an afterthought. The killing of Mutius by Titus also matches Peelean habits of symmetry and a Peelean preoccupation with the sacrifice of one’s children. But the killing is inconsistent in detail and design with the Shakespearian part of the play. There, Titus implores mercy for two other sons even when he supposes they may be guilty of murder, and sacrifices his own hand to save them. This makes neither psychological nor dramatic sense if he has just killed Mutius without hesitation for a minor transgression. Remove the inconsistency caused by Peele’s late addition, and Titus Andronicus loses what even advocates of the play admit is the received text’s ‘chief weakness’.

Rest of the play is working quite nicely, albeit the old “raping is normal for these people since they’re barbarians” thing is sort of irritating. Prose is improving over time thus far.

I do find most women to be relatively attractive (granted I’m at a huge public university), but most famous women aren’t stunningly more attractive than the more/most attractive co-eds around. Can’t wait till everyone’s a fatass though.

I know it wouldnt have over there either, of course, but maybe it had a better chance?
I heard from Skancho he will be there around 9pm.
Im going to go early(to avoid the cover, which i also hate to pay) and should be in there around 6pm, maybe 6:30 at the latest. so who all is actually coming? what kind of head count should we expect?
look for these guys, I am the one you will find at the bar. I dont think the other guy will make it.

please respond here if you expect to attend and what time you plan to arrive.

Zack Greinke hearts FIP

by southsideirish 2 days ago 15 comments | 1 rec

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.
