Isn't that whole thing a bitch?
They took it away for Husky football games last year, as well. Makes things really hard when you don’t have a car!

As a matter of fact, no, it shall be over after nine completed innings assuming one team is leading at that point and that no
undue circumstance such as rain plus a roof malfunction causes the game to be called before that period has expired.

I don't think him playing OK would count as shocking
by JI on Apr 15, 2009 8:29 PM PDT up reply actions
Have you actually followed him over the last two seasons?
I watched more than a few of his games last year. It was UNBELIEVABLE how terrible, how completely, utterly, toastily DONE he looked.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
Yeah and he's also 32 and can field
so a bounceback is somewhat likely. It’s not like he’s 39 and coming off a switch to firstbase
by JI on Apr 15, 2009 8:33 PM PDT up reply actions
I was skeptical that he could field.
I read a scouting report from the Spring that he was incredibly overweight and actually fell down chasing a routine flyball. Guess that’s why you don’t put much stock in one report.
HIs URZs the last few years were pretty good
In 2007 he was worth something like three wins despite OPSing .720

Kenji leaves, Washburn sucks
Correlation = causation
I like the pitcher making the tag.
It’s a little more “fuck you” than just tossing it to the bag.
Texas scoring 19 runs against Baltimore
And Baltimore laughs at Texas for not being able to score 30 runs again.
Baltimore thinks "no matter how much you hurt us, you'll never be able to hurt us like you hurt us before."

I see absolutely no reason why Endy Chavez cannot hit a first-pitch home run off of Jered Weaver this next inning.
He has Endy Power.

Random question from looking at Andruw Jones last year
How can someone have a -0.3 UZR in 66 games but a 0.2 UZR/150?
Oh my God ... They are still doing the Rally Fries?

You get credit for actually calling it, though.
It’s just not that important unless you are superstitious. And if you are, I don’t know what kind of repercussions this would have on history.

It’s just a cool sidenote (an odd one at that) for the black baseball history. I bet Griffey would be proud.

Jackie Robinson Day idea
so what they should do is award one player from each team the “Jackie Robinson Award” or some such, for being a good guy and an ambassador for the sport, etc.
Then, if that guy is still on the team the next year, he gets the privilege of wearing 42 on Jackie Robinson day. No one else gets to wear it.
Could somebody get an Mp3 of Niehauses call for JR?
Considering I don’t have MLB.TV.
Yeah, all of the the Angels have kinda sucked so far this series.
Except for Hunter.

Dave Sims is few years behind
He’s also still afraid of the Red Menace
87 pitches for the Wash.
Caution, reactor levels rising.
So that was Griffey's 400th home rum.

Watching them cut the dugout after the homerun was entertaining.
He pretended to bite (his?) kid and then pushed Silva and Bedard apart to sit down while they weren’t paying attention.
...and now I'm here
Mr. Swing Happy came through again!
Did I just hear “good wheels at 3rd”?
Rob Johnson is on 3rd
I’m confused.
Squeeze bunt!
ahahaha we’re playing good baseball.
let's recap
Last year he bunted on 2 strikes
Last night he kept running after the run scored to win
He ran to 3rd tonight after the timeout
Hilarious

Okay, I was being hyperbolic with my call for more bunts, Wak.
Please do not bunt with Ichiro. He’s actually a good hitter.

So we still ahve no ability to put together a rally
we fuck it up with stupidity, not home runs
