I love the All-Star Game.

It is dumb
but we can still root for Ichiro having back to back ASG MVP’s. It’s better than nothing.
At least it's not the Pro Bowl.
I’m still capable of getting at least a little bit excited for this.
Just picked some up last Thursday
Waiting for the right time. I plan on loving it.

Hey There
Did you get that Norman McClaren Boxed set yet? I finally got the Kenneth Anger Volume 2 here at the store. And speaking of things Canadien, Mon Oncle Antoine just came out and it is, (to finish a thought from a few weeks ago on the Blue Jays blog) the best Canadien movie ever.
Oh Yeah, Dave Foley just moved in the building above our store, so I had to catch up and order all the Kids in the Hall series. Actually, I’m ashamed we didn’t have them already.
And just to make this a completely facebook style post, I’m currently watching “Philosophy of a Knife” and it is the most violently brutal movie evah. And it’s over 4 hours long. Don’t say you haven’t been warned.
Your favorite meme is dead
Haven't got the McClaren set yet.
I’m going to put it off until I’ve got a bit more wiggle room, budget wise. Mon Oncle Antoine is indeed pretty fantastic.

It turns out to be not huge renter from our experience. More of a big box of street cred that doesn’t really earn it’s keep.
Your favorite meme is dead
I hear ya
But you kinda gotta have ‘em. Oh, and I’m serious about this movie “Philosophy of a knife” it came out last week and is a psuedo doc. in the style of “Men Behind the Sun”. It’s about the japanese Unit 731 that did attrocious human experimentation in the run up to and during WW2 and it’s the most disturbing movie I’ve ever seen. “Salo” pales in comparison. If you guys have it, be sure to warn people before they rent it.

So how long until we start hearing
“ICHIRO HURTS THIS TEAM BY NOT SWEARING AT HIS TEAMMATES IN JEST” from the casual fans?

The biggest problem with the AS game?

If you sign him in 04?
I’d still be right, you guys had to wait a while to get real production out of him. And that assumes he hits as well in Seattle as he did in AAAA.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Oh that's right, you're a Cards fan too.
XD. Sorry ‘bout that.
Anyway, original point was, you sign him after 04, you guys wait a while for production.
~Till the Halo burns out...
No, we get some production, he gets injured, we get frustrated.

Whichever way you like it.
He’d be a lot like Bedard right now, only as a hitter. Fair enough?
~Till the Halo burns out...
Didn't say it wouldn't be.
Really frustrating for two years, but ultimately smart.
~Till the Halo burns out...
He was released laast season, and yes he was injured
but he always was a good hitter and worth taking a chance on.

Not necessarily. But if 5% people with no tattoos
do drugs, and 7% of heavily tattoed people do drugs, then I would say it is fine to say that it sort of equates. I’m not saying it’s true. I’m just saying it’s not such a terrible assumption to make.
Yes it is.
And my problem with these statements are that Hamilton’s tattoos are typically mentioned in a very “tsk-tsk” sort of manner.

I know plenty of people with substance abuse problems.
I know plenty of people with tons of tattoos. There’s not a lot of correlation.
by Aaron Campeau on Jul 15, 2008 6:46 PM PDT up reply actions
I agree, they shouldn't say stupid things like
he used to be a bad person because he was addicted to drugs and had a lot of tattoos, because one is illegal and one isn’t. Though one could make the argument that drug use isn’t any worse than alcohol drinking, as long as it’s not overboard.
I still think there’s probably a correlation, simply because a lot of people are in jail because of drugs. And a lot of people in jail get jail tattoos.
Too lazy to look it up.
I didn’t say it was true. Just said that it was believable that there would be a correlation.
It's culturally accepted, but it's not at all reasonable.
Unfair stereotypes of people shouldn’t be reinforced during baseball games.
by Aaron Campeau on Jul 15, 2008 6:48 PM PDT up reply actions
Not a great source or example but...
while the Australian survey noted a much greater prevalence of tattoos among injected drug abusers
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0PDG/is_5_7/ai_n26670240
The vast majority of people with lots of tattoos aren't drug abusers.
This is the key point.
by Aaron Campeau on Jul 15, 2008 6:55 PM PDT up reply actions
Oh, I'd definitley agree with that.
My only thing was, I can see how it would be easy to assume without looking at any studies, that a person with multiple tattoos chosen randomly had a higher chance of drug-use, than one a non-tattooed person.
And my thing is, it's an unfair assumption to make.
People should stop making easy assumptions when they’re unfair and incorrect.
by Aaron Campeau on Jul 15, 2008 7:00 PM PDT up reply actions
Higher? Perhaps.
High enough to warrant the assumption that tattoos=substance abuser problem, or to equate the two in any meaningful way? Absolutely not.

No, it was in state.
It was almost always at big clubs like the Showbox and in small towns. The few times it happened in Seattle it was because I lost a lot of weight after the picture was taken and the cashier didn’t think it was me.

That was disgusting
It started off the plate in and was on the inner 1/3 of the plate according to pitch f/x

Yeah, it moved a whole hell of a lot.

I don't blame Paps for wanting to pitch.
Obviously he’s not going to say “God damn I don’t want to pitch”
Go Nova
I don't know what I hate more.
That Joe Buck just assumes that noone has ever heard of Dan Uggla, or that with regards to most “baseball fans” he’s probably correct.
His monthly splits have been great
He’s been tanking the past few months.
SSS
But May/June have been pretty entertaining as well.
Oh obviously.
I get a huge kick out of sub-10 OPS+.
This is why my favorite non-M is Tony Pena
Go Nova
John Buck doesn't care about black pe...err, baseball.
I fucking hate you Mariners
And I don't care his name is Joe
I fucking hate you Mariners
LETS GO LONGORIA!!
I fucking hate you Mariners
Come on EVAN!
At least we don't have Zito's contract.
JI:
Longo gives the AL the lead, then Ludwick hits a 2 run shot off of Mariano.

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
At least we don't have Zito's contract.

Guzman has been pretty damn good this year for no apparent reason.

I still think Wright was an even bigger snub.
I know he ended up getting in, but it’s ridiculous that it took an injury for one of the five best players in the NL to make the All-Star team.
I love it when you talk to yourself.

I hate the Yanks, but Rivera coming in to Enter Sandman
gives me goosebumps when I’m at the game
Go Nova
Is it just me?
Or is Francona an idiot? Does he realize that Soria + Kazmir will not necessarily be enough in extras?
~Till the Halo burns out...
There's also Sherrill, but I agree with the basic sentiment.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
I think he knows K-Rod isn't that good
and doesn’t want to fuck around
by JI on Jul 15, 2008 8:30 PM PDT up reply actions
Then he shouldn't have wasted all those pitchers earlier
And is still an idiot.
~Till the Halo burns out...
I'd be more annoyed with the fact he has no position players either.
Either way, at least he’s getting everyone in.
He’s like the Little League coach that the good players hate but the crappy ones love
Go Nova
Given that he determines home field for the Angels and Rays in the WS
screw getting everybody in. Win the game.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Fair enough
But like the 06 Cards if it happens it won’t be because they’re the best team in the league.
A common misconception,
The 06 Cards had injury problems, they literally didn’t get their A lineup on the field until the first game of the playoffs. They were more of a 87-88 win team based on talent.

Ludwick has more RBIs than Pujols?
What a shock! Oh wait, Pujols spent significant time on the DL? Blech. Who needs facts
Go Nova
I really wanted the Yankee fans to cry when Mo blew it..fuck

Won't be a tie. NL has the pitching to make the AL forfeit.
