Oh yeah

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

I didn’t want to reply to every person that decided to jump on the photo.

If people want to use it as an inflmmatory photo then it just shows their ignorance towards the subject.

If they follow the thread which started as “do some vaudevillian tricks with it” and was followed up with a couple vaudevillian actors they could’ve probably googled “vaudevillian” and completely understood.

I don’t mind. Now some people probably learned something new.

Fascinating

so Kershaw needs to pitch well, and Torre doesn’t know who he reminds him of, avoiding the Captain Obvious Koufax comparisons to the annoyance of the TBS booth.

F Pandora

Dear Pandora Visitor,

We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.

What a missed call on pitch 3 to Kemp

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."
