No, Felix. Not this time. You have to earn your sunshine and lollipops.
Shawn Estes makes me think of Russ Ortiz. Russ Ortiz makes me think of Chris Brock. Chris Brock makes me think of Mark Gardner. Mark Gardner makes me think of William Van Landingham. William Van Landingham makes me think of Kirk Rueter. Kirk Rueter makes me think of ears.

Huge game for the Flyers
in a half hour or so. We get Timmonen back and if we can win Coburn will be back for Game 6.
Go Nova
It's part blood clot and part Philly curse.
When I heard he was out I couldn’t believe it. Who misses most of the ECF because of something that happened 2 games ago and he didn’t even miss a game in the semis…
Go Nova
Sean Estes makes me think of visiting Hawaii in 1995
I bought a video game magazine to read on the flight back to Seattle, and in that issue they (for some reason) had an interview with Estes. I remember being upset that this player who was clearly a star had been drafted by the Mariners but was now a Giant.
I wasn’t very bright when I was twelve.

it's almost universally true that you want to go back in time
and beat the crap out of yourself from three years ago.

Yeah but that can happen anytime
I expect something like that to happen to me next year.

God tomorrow's gonna be awesome

I need 2 TVs.
One Tree Hill should be interesting, although the best parts were in the early seasons when they were actually in high school and playing basketball. Now it’s too much of real life, but it’s still good. And I’ll follow House by listening to you guys
Go Nova
Yes it will be.
It be made of pure epic awesome.
Series ends today
I never thought I’d watch Game 5 of a NHL series over Game 7 of a NBA series, but I guess that’s what David Stern and Clay Bennett do for you.
Haha there is a God.
There’s a bug going through the Penguins lockerroom
Hopefully it’s lupus
Go Nova
But they have Mario Lemieux!

Thanks. It’s 1-0 with 52 minutes left. It’s good to know we’re not giving up
Go Nova
This has the potential to be the most hilarious loss of the year
Felix pitching? Check.
No stuff lefty with bad control? Check.
And by hilarious you mean

This is Beltre's victory lap for last night.
Didn’t get another AB to relish his awesomeness.

so Felix's slider has roughly the same break as most pitcher's curveballs.
Felix throws it 90 miles per hour.
One day he's going to realize how awesome his stuff is.
That day will be when he signs with another team.
NOOOOOOO

After the game, when Ichiro is being interviewed:
Reporter: So, how about the steals to get that run in the first [sticks mike in face].
Ichiro (Through interpreter): I got bored on first, so I ran to third.
so... to sum up
infield hit, out on ball four, out on ball four, line out
and this team thinks it did a good job.

I thought Felix's change was more like 85, not 88-89
but that didn’t move like a slider and it’s too slow for a two-seamer.
