4/8: Open Game Thread

Seattle Mariners at Tampa Bay Rays, Apr 8, 2008 4:10 PM PDT


Ichiro CF                   Iwamura 2B
Lopez 2B                  Crawford LF
Beltre 3B                   Pena 1B
Ibanez "LF"               Upton CF
Sexson 1B                Gomes DH
Wilkerson RF           Aybar 3B
Vidro DH                   Riggans C
Johjima C                 Johnson RF
Betancourt SS          Bartlett SS

----------                       ----------

Bedard SP                Garza SP

You know who else sucked for a while? Romans. They were all like Numitor this, Vestal Virgins that, and then Lucius Postumius Megellus came along and commanded the siege of Agrigentum, and the rest is history. So the lesson is don't belittle Tampa Bay, because should they ascend to power they will almost certainly exact their revenge by enslaving you and having sex with your women.

LET'S GO MARINERS!!

So the womenfolk are safe for one more day

if Bedard just plain deals and the bullpen doesn't suck?

by Two Rs and Two Ls on Apr 8, 2008 1:31 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Hopefully

Bedard will just plain deal and we won't see the bullpen.

I think I could die a happy man

If Tampa Bay started kicking New York and Boston's asses, denying at least one of them a playoff spot every year.. Short of the M's winning the World Series, there is nothing I would want more from baseball.

No,

can't be Parthia. They weren't powerful until much later.

ok, what about

Red Sox = Nero. enjoyed for a brief time then corrupted by power
Yankees = Tigellinus. evil, rich
Orioles = Acte. used to be relevant, now ignored.
Blue Jays = Poppara. should be more influential but aren't.
Rays = Petronius? I don't know. Losing steam here.

by Matthew on Apr 8, 2008 1:57 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Hmmm.

I like what you did there. This is sticking purely with nations -

Red Sox = Carthage, proud tradition, came to dominate Med trade when the greeks were weaker
Yankees = Greece/Hellenic empire(s). Duh.
Orioles = Pontus/Pontic Kingdoms. Pretty irrelevant, then killed every mutherfucker in the room, then got killed.
Blue Jays = Eburones or the Germans of the Teutoburg Forest. Yeah, you can wipe out a legion and everyone thinks it's your 'time' but in the end, you're not built to win wars.
Rays = Rome, per the words of our leader.

by marc w on Apr 8, 2008 2:06 PM PDT up reply actions   2 recs

I think the analogy here would be

to Hannibal Gisco.

The question is whether the Red Sox are Hannibal (the famous one).

Then there's the question of whether THIS year's Rays are L. Postumius Megellus or A. Quintus Sulpicius. They're a rising power, but are they good enough to actually win? Clearly, revenge will be theirs in time. But in 2008?

No, you're still wrong.

there just aren't female computer scientists :(

This is why my girlfriend was a bio/classics major.

and there ARE female computer scientists. Though I only ever met one that most would say is hot.

Yeah yeah

there were a few female CS majors at USC, but none that I think I'd ever rate above "cute".

Now BioMedical Engineering, that was the place for hot female engineers. Albeit most of them were premeds so meh.

I started telling freshman CS majors to take Chem for their science classes instead of physics, just so they could meet attractive girls who will understand their pain somewhat.

We have a lot of rich alumni

who seem dedicated lately to pumping money into the school. In the last 6 years I think the EE, Chem E/Enviromental E and maybe one other school all got named. Plus the Engineering school as a whole and the whole Kline Institute thing.

For awhile there it felt like each department was trying to out do the other in terms of rich alumni donations.

No one ponied up for CS though :( My dream is to be able to throw my name on the school.
