This is almost completely unrelated,

but it makes me crazy when people talk about historic figures and say how old they would have been on their birthday. For instance, next February someone will write “Today is Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. He would have been 200 years old.”

Fucking NO he wouldn’t have, because humans don’t live that long. Getting shot in the head did not prevent him from living to be 200.

Maybe it’s just me. Rant over.

I have the same thoughts as well most of the time.

But seriously, 236th birthday??? 1776 + 236 = 2012

It ends in December I believe.

Great, now you got me watching more than a hour's worth of Youtube video

Linked to the end of the world in december 21, 2012 or 9/11 conspiracy theories, which the new towers are supposed to represent new world order. God damn.

That's what I meant. December 2012

Meaning we’ll get to see America’s 236th birthday

Sean Green is so awesome. And I know he's awesome...

and yet I still feel I don’t appreciate him enough.

by SethGrandpa on Jul 4, 2008 10:33 PM PDT   0 recs

It's like eating burritos for lunch every day.

Burritos are awesome, and while you’re eating a burrito you know it’s awesome. But after your 40th burrito in 85 days, it’s like, “hey, I know this burrito is awesome, but I just don’t appreciate it enough.”

He is so awesome

that I dream about him.

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

I still have ash in my eyes from the show at Gas Works.

I got in a shouting match with some guy in a car who was yelling at “all you motherfucking California yuppies to go back to California” and people questioning my Washingtonian bona fides is a pet peeve of mine. And these guys looked like they were from Lewis County or something, which in and of itself is fine, but it’s kind of a “hey, douchenozzle, you’re an outsider too, so shut up already” kinda’ thing.

by acblue on Jul 4, 2008 11:38 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Heyheyeheyheyhey....

Insulting Lewis County? That’s where I am from. The problem is that you insulted it, and then kind of took it back. Leave it out there man, Lewis County blows….

Raben died for your sins.

by rlintott on Jul 5, 2008 9:57 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Lewis County does blow.

But it’s not their (or your) fault that they’re from there.

Some guy on Minor League Ball put Brandon Morrow in the "faux sleeper" category.

His reasoning was lack of development. When corrected on it, he cited his lack of development of secondary pitches. Really?

I asked this in the last thread, but I'll try again.

Is Brandon Morrow the best reliever in baseball right now? Small sample size, but I don’t know of anyone I’d be more confident in at this point.

by Teej on Jul 4, 2008 11:56 PM PDT   0 recs

Mariano Rivera

37 innings, 20 hits, 3 walks, 42 K’s. 22 saves, 0 blown.

No shame being behind him.

by Sports on a Schtick on Jul 5, 2008 12:01 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Hot balls.

I had no idea Rivera had been that dominant this year.

I will point out that he has a BABIP of .221 and a LOB% of 94.1%(!!!!), but still , wow. And Rivera has always had pretty good BABIP and LOB numbers, so I guess it’s not too much of a stretch.

by Teej on Jul 5, 2008 12:13 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

OK, I should also point out

that Morrow’s BABIP and LOB% are also pretty nuts. So yeah, Rivera has been a little better.

by Teej on Jul 5, 2008 12:24 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated.

I didn’t look too much at the peripherals last year, but I had a feeling he was in trouble. Now I realize his “bad year” wasn’t even bad. Guy’s pretty amazing.

by Teej on Jul 5, 2008 12:46 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Rivera?

I guess it proves the Yankees were smarter than we thought when they decided to extend him for a few years.

I still think the contract was outrageous on a per-year basis,

but as Jeff said at the time, Yankee money is not the same as regular human money. For them, it probably wasn’t a bad deal.

by Teej on Jul 5, 2008 1:55 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I don't know if this is the result of small sample size

But Morrow has an ERA+ of 550, while Rivera has one of just 418. I am not sure if that means much, knowing ERA isn’t a useful stat, but god damn that’s good.

by Fin on Jul 5, 2008 12:41 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I don't know if I should interpret that as a good thing or not.

I know its obviously good in the way that Morrow is making progress, but not good in the sense that the organization will view him as a reliever rather than a starter and never try to convert him.

Jl/Robert '08: Promise for a CoachCage tomorrow!

by Fin on Jul 5, 2008 12:17 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

They're calling him the vaporizer

But I think that’s really underselling him. Any objections to just calling him Sex? Sex Morrow? I think it’s got a nice ring.

by DAMellen on Jul 5, 2008 12:33 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Too similar to Sexson...

Maybe something like Morrowgasm might be better.

Jl/Robert '08: Promise for a CoachCage tomorrow!

by Fin on Jul 5, 2008 12:38 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Dude, you win.

Morrowgasm. Better than Sex. I concede. In other news, I’m putting a lot of faith in our new GM (whoever they (they not he) may be) to understand that Morrow belongs in the rotation. A lot of faith.

by DAMellen on Jul 5, 2008 12:46 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm sorry

l meant the Morrowgasm. The Morrowgasm belongs in the rotaion.

by DAMellen on Jul 5, 2008 12:47 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Well

I guess it’s just the optimist in me coming out again, but there are worse things than having to settle for a relief-pitching megamutant.

Obviously I’d like to see him as a starter. But.

by Jeff on Jul 5, 2008 12:35 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Well Rosenthal mentioned him as a notable snub to his All-Star roster...

“Morrow, while dominant, has thrown only 25 1/3 innings.”

At least he’s getting some national pub, which really, is amazing considering how bad this team is.

by SethGrandpa on Jul 5, 2008 1:23 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

But most baseball writers have a hard-on for saves.

The second Morrow got the job title and began earning the glory stat, you figure people were going to start paying attention.

But even if he goes back to being a setup man, maybe he’ll get Cy Young votes like Heath Bell last year!

by Teej on Jul 5, 2008 1:26 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I should rephrase that.

As long as you’re not calling me a homo, I guess I care what you think.

Thank you. I’m quite excited about it. I love some gin, and who doesn’t like strawberries?

by Teej on Jul 5, 2008 1:58 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

This tastes like . . . gin and tonic.

Strawberries are best reserved for vodka or rum drinks, I’m guessing.

by Teej on Jul 5, 2008 2:20 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Oh hey the Mariners won, and the DBacks got no hit by Baek for over 5 innings.

But on the bright, explosions and pretty colors! That was cool, except for the errant bottle rocket that exploded six inches behind my head.

Baek sucks ass.

He doesn’t have a $48 million contract, so he obviously isn’t a good pitcher.

by Teej on Jul 5, 2008 4:10 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Holy shit

I had some close calls with fireworks last night, but nothing like that. Glad you still have your head.

by Gomez on Jul 5, 2008 9:23 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

People are far to afraid of bottle rockets.

The only way I could get legitimately hurt by one is if I was making a fist around it when it went off.

I love the guy who put his boat (for safety reasons) 75 feet off shore.

Only to see an errant bottle rocket land on his boat and start a fire that totally destroyed it. BAHAAHA

I fucking hate you Mariners
