XbX edit:
You don’t mind that I changed “Pedrois” to “Pedroia,” do
you?
This should lighten the mood, a content-less fluff

Who is Buck?
Off to the game!
“VISUAL AND PHONOLOGICAL CODING IN WORKING MEMORY AND
ORTHOGRAPHIC SKILLS OF DEAF CHILDREN USING CHILEAN SIGN LANGUAGE.”
That article’s not going to help me.
(I’m blocked. Can you tell?)
that was about the billionth time someone has posted
fangraphs wpa stuff at **, so it was strange for it to be treated as an exciting novelty.
Gotcha
Burnett loses no hitter,
then loses shutout.

BahYay!I
blamecredit mikeA for going to the game.How hard is Eveland
throwing?
Well, this is going
well.
It’s bizarre having all these hitters at the top of the
order with BAs starting with a 3.
It’s bizarre having all
these runs.
Holla-Cust!
So is Gallagher the long man ? After a 40-pitch 1st, I
doubt Eveland is pitching deep into this one.
And for the Red Sox ?
Poor Over Eveland Exander.
I finally figured out who Buck looks like: the brother
from My Name Is Earl minus 150 pounds and plus hair.
Good thing Blevins isn’t
on the mound, that last wind gust would have taken him out of the Coliseum.
Nice quick inning for
Eveland, Masterson coming in.
It’s weird to read a game thread about a game (or
partial game) I haven’t seen. Are we winning?
4 runs and counting for the Orioles against the Rangers
in the top of the 10th.
Dice-BB Matsuwalka’s
final line: 1ip, 5r, 2bb, 0k
Only cliche missing from the tv broadcast booth (think
deep voice now): here at the frozen tundra of lambeau field…
ban the sun. Since that’s obvious lunacy, I have an alternative suggestion: let’s sacrifice Crosby to it.]] >
I do not like Bobby
Crosby.
So… how exactly is
Crosby’s new swing any better than the old one?
Ugh, I don’t like
bringing in Casilla with runners on base, either stick with Bailey or go to Ziggy.
About last night’s Swisher game:
In other words, some days it’s just a … FREAK ROUT!
Ryan Sweeney is going to have a massive pear-shaped
matronly ass when he gets old.
ok, those two outside “strikes” to holliday were close,
but “strike” 2 to lowell … yeesh.
i blame beane for that
crap. that shoulda been gone
Mmm … the game’s not on here in L.A. Things I could
watch instead:
1) SportsCenter
2) Best Damn Sports Show
3) A re-run of The Office on TBS
4) A re-play of the Lakers-Jazz game from earlier today
5) Rescue Me
I would have left Giambi
in.
Predictions for the results of Chavvy’s MRI?
And with Chavvy, and presumably Nomah and Suzuki, unavailable tomorrow … yeesh. Get ready for a whole ‘nother
year of this.
Did we win?
Some sox fan floozy in my section kept yelling out “Go
Dutin!!!” when the sox were out on defense….
3200+ comments in like seventeen separate threads at **.
I’m so sad I wasn’t there to be a part of the “exciting new changes.”
