I was under the impression that it had a mortailty rate similar to the common flu.
But the media made it seem like it was the plague.

It wasn't really the media's fault entirely
People just always panic when this type of stuff comes about, regardless of how serious it actually is. And yes, it’s not much worse than the common flu.

The influenza viruses mutate every year.
And it’s the CDC’s (?) job to stay updated on the top few versions of the virus likely to infect the population every year, and adjust that year’s vaccinations accordingly.
The swine flu was scary because it crossed over from another species, and wasn’t covered by vaccinations. So, yeah, everyone panicked, but it turned out to be no big deal (in comparison to the usual influenza virus).

Maybe I'm just misinformed but I was under the assumption that Swine Flu is a new strain of flu,
so how could have the swine flu killed millions? I understand that in the history of the earth the flu has killed millions but swine flu killing millions doesn’t sound right.
Spanish Flu, Swine Flu, Avian Flu
these are all the common flu. Some are worse than others. The deal with the Spanish Flu was not that it was very virulent, the problem was it elicited so strong a response in the infected that their immune systems shut their bodies down and they dies. Similar to septic shock but not systemic. We work with the only lab in the states that has the 1918 virus still in culture.

by Bearskin Rugburn on Jul 31, 2009 5:11 PM PDT up reply actions
The fact that the Swine Flu is not yet awful is that it hasn't yet mutated into its final form, which it will do by the time it comes back around
next winter. The good news is that there are fast and efficient ways of making massive amounts of vaccine that we’rent around as recently as two years ago

Swine flu is nowhere close to the Spanish Influenza in terms of virulence.

I have that problem
I’ve been trying to grow a full beard for 2 years and all I can muster is a goatee.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
And goatees almost always look douchey
Fortunately I think I’m thick everywhere and just ultra thick on the sides of the chin. So at least I’m not some lil pussy like you.

I have the same problem,
I grew out a beard for a few months straight without really trimming in the winter (and it actually did keep my face much warmer) but it looked like I had little horns coming off the corners of my chin.
I don't look quite that bad
I try to keep it all trimmed and neat. But it still sucks being almost 27 and unable to grow real facial hair. Hell in some spots the hair doesn’t grow!
From a genetic stand point I come from a long line of good beards.

Was there a point to that deal?
I suppose there must have been, but I don’t know the players well enough to say what the difference is.

I fully agree.
Seems like he takes good routes and has a little bit of speed. I still can’t tell exactly how fast he is though because his legs are 8 feet long.
Saunders has hit into about three or four hard outs since he came up including the
home run he had robbed
I hope I'm wrong on this, but Willie hit better in his first 100 PA than any of our recent callups didn't he?

31 pitches in 2 innings is fine.
Not great but fine, the 15 per inning average. Better that than trying to strike ’em out quickly and leaving the ball up in the zone for one of the umpteen Rangers to go yard on, right?

I know that it's a stupid stat kinda but

This commercial shouldn't make a lick of sense to anyone who has ever attended a college or had to chose classes for anything.
You failed a class but there was one class open…at the end of the quarter/semester? I don’t know why but it bugs me a lot.
The way I see it is
she registered for her say, spring quarter classes with a few weeks left in the winter quarter. Then she failed her 300 or 400 level course, which was a pre-req for something she had registered for for winter. Not being able to get into that class, and refusing to take unneeded lower level courses, she took the farm practicum instead.
Dave on Felix: "Can't expect him to be perfect every time."
I don’t see why not.
And did the Rangers draft Shooter Hunt? Because him and Tommy Hunter would be good names in a rotation.
I think Ian Snell will do okay here.
“I didn’t like the fact I was getting a finger pointed at me for a 2-8 record,‘’ he said on Friday. "When a manager doesn’t want to back you up, that’s hard to take and that’s why I did what I did. It’s a team game and you can’t just point a finger at one guy. That’s one of the reasons I was battling depression because my manager wouldn’t back me up.’’

Morale Boost while you wait -- Yuni's OBP since joining KC is .128
On a related note, can anybody explain how Yuni’s batting average (.130) is higher than his OBP (.128)? Sacrifices and fielder’s choice situations don’t count as ABs, right?
Chicks dig the long ball.
For OBP purposes, sac flies count against you
Sac bunts do not. And fielder’s choices are always ABs.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong on this, but I’m fairly certain.
Try not to take me too seriously
Not a morale boost for all.
Wouldn’t it be okay/awesome if Yuni somehow becomes a productive player, worthy of the millions the M’s will still be playing him?
I’m okay with everyone wanting him to suck something gross next week, but how about if he beats up on everyone else?

But it seems like they are friends beyond Twitter
possibly from the minors sometime.

I think we can all agree the Mariners should keep playing the Rangers, but start winning once in a while.

This seems completely altruistic
Try not to take me too seriously
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only person bored enough
To wait for this to restart…
~I'm on the DA~
Seriously
why was Griffdawg batting there?
Try not to take me too seriously
He's gazing towards Cuba
Wondering why the fuck he ever game to America
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
I guarantee an interesting 9th.
With C.J. Wilson on the mound.
Just get it to Gutz
and there will be hugs all around.

Sean White got four outs on 11 pitches
Plus he threw ball four to Young

What happened? We were winning.

Ronnie was on SportsCenter during the rain delay
In a highlight featuring a Roosevelt being tackled, and a real-life pirate.
Needs more ...

It would be very unlikely that Sweeney would do anything of value in Safeco.

It would be an entirely different game
So yes, the score would be different.

I'd love to sit next to that guy for 10 minutes and have a beer.
Just 10 minutes, not one second longer.
Loafie RBI time!

I have a feeling Felix is going to be mediocre tomorrow. I think he was thriving on pitching in games
that mattered somewhat.
Yes I hope he has the maturity and focus this year to not have a letdown given
that the contending is over. Just seems like we’re in a rough stretch right here where little is going right.
Interestingly the etymology of average once referred to damaged goods.
I do believe that mediocre imparts a more negative connotation than average. Average in this case implying the middle, as in a math equation. Somebody smart help me out here.
"more negative". Jesus. Really, this needs some help.
It’s heading in the right direction, but I can’t get there from here without a push.
