I’m supposed to be going to the game tonight, but my girlfriend’s arriving flight is delayed more by an hour. So, instead, I’m at work, stalking the VEB game thread.

Anyways, go Cards and go Carp. Need a good start in fantasy.

He could be activated as soon as tomorrow, or they could hold him bac till monday. They don’t seem to be sure if he’ll last without surgery, the only way to tell is to play on it. Deroa’s paraphrased words.

Cameron slid into second, past the bag, and interrupted the fielders ability to make the throw. Granted, Braun would have beaten it, hence part of the argument from Macha. Since the force out was completed plus interference, there were 2 outs on the double play.

weird story

i was in a caribou coffee joint last night & i was bs’in with the dude making my drink. and there’s a starbucks across the street, so i ask him if they ever play pranks on each other, or if they run into each other in the parking lot do they talk trash to them or have any fights like they did in Anchorman. you know, just bs’ing & trying to be funny like i always am with everyone.

well the dude get’s all serious & says, “NO. the coffee biz is serious & we don’t even talk to them or even acknowledge their existence. we could get fired for even talking to them”

i was like ooookkaaay. i couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

stands on the third-base side of home plate, so throwing a pitch-out wide to the first-base side of the plate is counter-productive against the suicide squeeze.
