Is anyone else having an issue downloading this off of iTunes?
It keeps coming up with an error message for me.
Karma police, arrest this man.
Yeah, I'm getting a "File could not be found"
If it means anything, this one is also named To Hell with the NL.
FUCK ERIC BYRNES FUCK ERIC BYRNES!
That might be the problem.
I’ve changed it and re-submitted. I’d suggest giving it a few minutes and then trying again. If it still doesn’t work, then I don’t know.
It's still not working for me
Maybe you and Jeff could just call me and I’ll listen to you talk for an hour.

Nope, still giving me an error when I try to download it from the iPod.
When I go into the Itunes program on the computer, it doesn’t even show up as being available.
FUCK ERIC BYRNES FUCK ERIC BYRNES!
Did this just cut Jeff off mid-sentence?
the last part of the podcast was fantastic
We sort of petered out without a good ending point
and there were some audio issues so I just axed it at certain point. There wasn’t anything else after that.
Just listening to the last one
and you have a smooth radio voice Matthew.
I have no idea what that is.
I’m just streaming it from the page while working on my computer and that’s not the interface that shows up.
Stereo thing drives me nuts
Only cause I usually have one headphone on.

Love the Scrubs reference.
It’s so true.

One time I tried to write a game recap and it took forever
Ever since then I’ve marveled at how you’re able to consistently do it
BTW, different numbers of pencils indicate how darkly they write.
Lower # means darker.
The number indicates the hardness.

The Range
Pencil lead is on a scale from 6B on the softest side to 6H on the hardest side. The middle ground is known as HB (or BH). Typical pencils use a 2B softness, thus the Number 2 pencil we’re all accustomed to. If you were to move up the scale to 4B or even 6B, you’d get much darker lines. If you move down the scale, say to 1B, HB, 1H, 3H, 5H… You’d get harder graphite, producing a much lighter line each time.
Gritty... that's the term I think of when I see Jack Wilson play. Gritty

Must finish reading...
Oops, looks like this was only partially correct. I didn’t read the rest of the posts before making my comment on the pencil graphite. Mea Culpa
Can you imagine? a 10B? Wow, that’s soft.

Since you guys briefly discussed some Cleveland pitchers
I always wondered why Sowers has pitched as much as he had. I don’t get why people give him the option to pitch.
'Enjoyed the podcast.
I appreciated Matthew’s mention of comparing reading about politics to reading about baseball. It’s a comparison I wanted to mention the other day in response to Jeff’s Overwhelmed post, but wasn’t sure if it would fall into the “No politics” realm or not.
It was said above, but I also liked the Scrubs reference. Man that show was good. I need to go back and watch those DVDs again.
Do you really think Yuniesky Betancourt puts in more work than any given human who has a job that involves a salary? Especially if you factor in all the every-day things that you and I have to take care of, that Yuniesky probably pays someone to do? I would still contend that the guy is lazy.
Yuni
I just read yesterday about the 300 yard shuttle the players do in spring training. I guess they have to do it in less than 60 seconds or they have to do it again the next day. The article said a few years ago (or was it last year) Yuni had to repeat this three days in a row. Is this evidence of laziness or just being out of shape?
Sorry, no link. I was link chasing all day and can’t find it now. Speaking of links… wasn’t that article about the M’s rigorous health check cool?! 2 hours for a physical! that’s great.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one
Listened to it on the ride home, made traffic much less sucky!
As a writer myself, I found a lot of that pretty interesting. When I do my weekly post for VEB, I imagine it’s similar process to some of Jeff’s longer posts. Not too much research, but trying to make the piece flow and say something interesting. I probably knock those off in 4-5 hours.
When I do my articles for THT, it’s a much, much longer process, because I hold myself to a much higher standard there. I probably spend 2 weeks and close to 15 hours researching and writing for each post. I have to start over all the time (because I write as I research, and if I get weird or uninteresting results, I have to redo it), and have eaten a ton of pieces. The good thing is that THT has editors, so I don’t have to spend so much time proofreading.
My favorite part
Was how the podcast suddenly cut off when Jeff started talking about children dying.
Only thing better would have been if Matthew inserted some “We’ll be right back” music at the end.
Yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
Here is a simple intro you can use until you become more comfortable.
Hello this Jeff, and this is Mathew and this is our Lookout Landing Pod Cast. Today we’ll be discussing…
Racer X. You have to love those amarillo hops.
p.s. fuck you angels
It's kind of painful.
