what did phil hartman play on that show?
damn he rocked a great rocking

He was a god among men.
I think he played the sea captain.

honduras -- where the government takes a licking and the futbol team keeps on ticking.
the nation that brought you, yes, a war over FUTBOL. Thousands of civillians were killed in four days.
the truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark/ it scares you witless, but in time you see things clear and stark -- macmanus
fail
no country is going to go to war over a game… those two countries really had a number of differences
even the link you provide states that this wasn’t over soccer (although it did provide the name of the war)
yup...
… the US national team has been really fun to watch lately. hopefully that continues tonight.
waiting on the lineup
i know adu, perkins, and benny are starting
it will be nice to see what our kids can do against a halfway decent side (still missing most of honduras’ best players… but so are we)
grenada was probably below college level without roberts and joseph
yeah, Grenada was no test...
… but still an impressive showing for a bunch of players who hadn’t gotten much playing time together or otherwise. hopefully they can build on it tonight.
love that Onyewu got picked up by Milan as well. hopefully he’ll get plenty of time.
i'd figure 20-30 starts at least
they play a ton of games and most of their center backs are 33 or older
the ones under are the new brazilian and gooch
No way the U.S.
beats us at our own game!! At least, so said the paradigm. Now us Central Americans have nothing to cheer about… Perhaps, our food. You will never have better tasting food than us!
For now, I settle. hehe

awesome
i met puebla’s top goal scorer a couple years back (argentinian) when i was in puebla…
picked up their jersey while i was there too… didn’t have the chance to catch a game
just made me think of the '01 qualifier in honduras
0-0 until mathis sneaks a late 3 points with a great free kick to help lead the US to the ’02 cup where they made the quarterfinals
say whatever you want about mathis, but damn can that man strike a ball with his left foot
The word in the Haiku I appreciate most:
Patience.
Decrease runs scored?
Maybe.
Decrease winning? Never seen that proven.

There are 2 FSN Ohio feeds. The last 4 years we always got the Reds games even though they never showed up on the guide.

techie people
let me know if there is any way around this
i have a dual monitor setup. i have mlb.tv on my 37" tv and just normal veb and browsing for my laptop. i can go full screen on the tv, but then if i click on anything on my laptop display, the full screen on the tv goes away. is there anything i can do to keep the full screen short of using two computers or is it just a problem with the flash player?
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
I think I ran into this problem too
I couldn’t figure out how to make it work. so I just watched it on laptop

either way
the not full screen mode on the tv is bigger than full screen on my laptop. and this way i don’t have to switch back and forth from the game and veb
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
There is a feature
Where you can use your laptop’s screen and the TV as a dual monitor. So, you can “drag” things from monitor to monitor. If you know how to use this feature, try dragging VEB to your laptop and the game over to the TV and see if that does the trick

Yeah
It might be the player, since on a regular Media Player, it stays on full screen

Looks like we may need Goodemeyer tonight
"If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it up on the scoreboard?" - Jeff Francouer
Man, completely missed the first inning
Guess the Cards got Suppan’d. Why are we the only team he can pitch decent for/against?
Suppan's not going to shut us down AGAIN is he?
he must be one of the ten worst starting pitchers in baseball.
I am fairly confident we’ll need >5 runs to win this one….

his location has been his problem…. Even when he is not walking people he is getting behind them. The exception was last start for the most part. Welly needs to keep us in the game

Wellemeyer might throw 30 pitches

Of course he also doesn’t have the ability to consistently throw strikes either!
can we take him out yet?

I would have taken my chances with Lohse.
I don’t know what pitch count he was on, but I’d be ok with it.
Stupid Craig Counsell

Molina on 1B, that was a good play
Thurston would have had to hit a homer to do much better than that so Al shut up.
Not afraid to nitpick
Thurston is a coward and a fool
Is very bad to steal A-Pu's rum...is very bad.
?
Huh?
"If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it up on the scoreboard?" - Jeff Francouer
Bunting in that situation is moronic
It’s also cowardly. Trust yourself to drive the run in, because the guy behind you won’t.
Is very bad to steal A-Pu's rum...is very bad.
Moronic and cowardly like a fox!
At least the pitcher doesn’t lead off the next inning. I don’t see how it’s cowardly. Not sure if Thurston could have driven Molina in with anything less than a triple. He doesn’t get more than 2 bases too often.

true. it's a gamble
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
Brewer's guys think that Yadi is a free swinger
um not really
The Redbirds are of the highest priority to me... As it should be
brewers guys don't really know much
"He ran hard, but he didn't run fast. He runs like he's mad at the ground." - opposing broadcaster describing Yadi's speed.
he kind of is
he doesn’t take a lot of pitches

Mild strain of the olblique suffered during BP
Supposed to be back soon, possibly as early as this weekend against the Cards.
Or, if he were on the Cardinals, I would translate that to “he’s out 7-10 weeks.”
No DP no DP no DP no DP no DP
Yadi make sure if you put the ball in play you do so with authoritah
Not afraid to nitpick
Does Al think that anyone is bad?
Guys who pitch poorly often…his response is always “Pitching scared” or “not confident” or “not focused” or something else. Suppan has a career 4.81 FIP…his numbers in St. Louis were good, by and large, because he was pitching in front of good defenses. Todd Wellemeyer has been terrible for his whole career…he’s not just going to confidence the ball across the plate.
These guys aren’t pitching poorly b/c they’re scared…they’re pitching poorly because they ARE poor pitchers!!!

Wellemeyer was stout last year
But I’m glad to see him out of the game.
Guys like Bradley are exactly why we can't have a pumpkin patch anymore.
