I was worried that if Ryan Franklin was actually good in a non-heart palpitating way for an entire season, I'd have to start calling my alcoholic beverages something like Izzy's or Motte's. With my baby aspirin in hand and that game finally over, I can breathe a sigh of relief.
Feel free to offer dating advice in this thread after midnight central and occupy yourselves until RB unhibernates tomorrow.

If you listen to Silent Morning and the rest of the songs, I’m pretty sure “You Were the One” by Deniz is the song we were trying to figure out.

Not political correctness but tradition
The New Testament is so full of bad translations and contradictions this is just carrying on the tradition. The bible was not, as you know, originally written in english so it has been edited time after time into saying whatever the editor wants it to be.

Where's the dating advice at?!?!
Q: How do I ask out this hooters girl? I think she likes me, she touches my arm, sits at my table, and says things like “I’m so glad you guys are here, everybody else here are such losers!”
A: Ohhhh the hooters girl. They are the top of the waitress (server) food chain are here’s why:
1. A girl has to KNOW (or at least think) she’s hot to apply to Hooters.
2. They have “image trainers”…girls that tell them how to dress/accessorize.
3. Since they are professional flirters EVERY GUY in there thinks they have a chance. You have a lot of competition, Daniel-san.
4. Hooters girls are to guys as Guys with Mercedes are to women: Status symbols, they give you “social proof”.
Step 1. Cut a hole in the box…no wait. What NOT TO DO is more important than what to do. Simply not f’ing up will get you 3/4s the way there.
1. Don’t act like a typical guy. Stupid pickup lines, goofy and awkward flirting, “baby you’re hot”. NEVER comment on her looks unless it’s something about her cute accessories, nails, etc. (btw they can only wear accessories on certain days, otherwise you’ll have to get really creative. When they wear white shirts with orange shorts they can’t do much of anything, the black uniform days are when they can go nuts).
2. Don’t act like a normal customer by only talking to her regarding your order, etc. I’m constantly shocked how often guys do this, THEN, ask her her number or leave their number on the receipt (no this has ever worked, even if she gives you her real number, you’ll be put in the phone as “do not answer” or “creeper”).
3. This is her place of business. You are nothing more than table 23 – cardinal shirt to her. She sees you as a customer until you establish otherwise. Establish yourself as a potential suitor and not a customer. You do this by:
A. Disqualifying yourself (so she can’t disqualify you) and let her know you are in her league. ex. “oh you girls are nothing but trouble, I’m done dating hooters girl…this last one I dated (insert zany fun story that ends in midgets or deportation)”
B. Work more than 1, right in front of her. This establishes you have options and you don’t like her because she’s Hot and Flirty (even though it’s true). Bars/Restaurants have social classes just like high school. You get in one with the A Crowd the rest are spoon fed to you.
C. Re-Frame the conversation so SHE is chasing you. Instead of “oh baby you’re so hot” say things like “you only like me cause I’m man pretty” or “I’ll have a miller lite, hold the roofie”.
D. THE BEAUTIFUL thing about Hired Guns is if you mess up one day, you get a swing at her the next shift. If you bomb badly forget about her for 2-3 weeks and re-appear cooler than ever with more zany fun stories about whatev. OR completely switch up targets and pretty much ignore her…DON’T make it look like you’re ignoring her, this lowers your value big time…you’re just another poutey beta male. Make it appear you just simply lost interest now she’s gonna be glad when you resume the game or she’ll up hers. (Usually I have to do this anyway to really gauge her level of interest). Also the Law of Exposure is pretty powerful. Simply by showing up enough creates comfort which has a high probability of leading to attraction…unless you really are a typical guy or creeper.
here endeth the lesson.

They have pretty good wing and drink specials after 9PM. The girls are less hot so I have a better chance. The most important reason is that they have Buck Hunter there.

I think one has a dollar beer special on mondays….
The hooters advice applies everywhere that girls are hired to be hot and flirt. The only difference is you can make your move faster elsewhere and you can dial it back some.
The real key is knowing the social dynamic. It’s all about how she sees her value in relation to her perception of your value (which constantly changes, btw). Super Hot Hired Guns are going to automatically assume their value is higher than yours until YOU prove otherwise. On the flip side I’ve talked myself out of a lot of ass because I was trying to build myself up when she already seen me as higher value.
One real Indicator of Interest (IOI) are dilated pupils. You ever see this in ANY girl this is very good. It’s a primitive response from the reptilian brain trying to “take it all in”. You see a girls eyes light up and her pupils dilate all you gotta do is make some comfort building small talk and NOT FUCK UP. Anything else like her calling you “sweetie or baby” has as much value was W-L record for pitchers.

Even though you were trying to take a swipe at my doucheyness, however, you brought up an excellent point.
Guys think girls think like them and go by looks alone. They don’t. Your average guy will hate on guys like me (that’s with the hot girl) and make sophomoric comments about whatever fashion choice I’ve made for the day, while they stand there with their buddies in their cargo shorts and polos on the prowl for girls 1/2 as hot as what I bring.
The good thing for average looking guys is they can blow away handsome or pretty guys with the right clothes and game. Some of the guys with the best game happen to be horrible looking and they nail the typical handsome guy’s girlfriends all the time.

Oh,
I took the “I think we just have different perceptions of what good results are” as a swipe at downing cute girls that know how to use their looks and flirting.
If you meant the semantics of results:
Results are…you get the girl. That’s it. If you approach her and you don’t get her…you fucked up. That’s it. She didn’t reject you, she rejected your approach. Doesn’t matter if you met her at the library or strip club…you go for the girl and you didn’t get her, YOU fucked up…not her. What makes you so special from the last 1000 guys to try to pick her up? Obviously she didn’t see anything.

I think the key also is over thinking
The vast majority of people over think situations and eventually talk themselves out. Regret feels worst than rejection.
by FlimtotheFlam on Sep 2, 2009 10:37 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
overthing = 100% true: Regret > Rejection = 100% false
not being a dick but the rejection thing is a primitive response, that’s why we react physically when we approach strangers and hot girls. They’ve charted the pain of rejection on fMRIs.
The over thinking is true but that doesn’t give you the license to “be yourself”. People use “be yourself” as an excuse a lot. If a girl doesn’t see the guy for “who they are” and blah blah then she’s a bitch.

But our minds are still wired for Survival and Replication and back in the caveman days a botched pickup could mean you not surviving so your body sends off a “red alert” to you.

If you are at Columbia
It is like shooting fish in a barrel. The best advice I can give you is to buy a tuxedo. I paid like $100 for mine and went to every single Sorority dance I could go to. I would go with anyone. That was like half my reason for talking to sorority girls. To give them my number in case they ever needed someone to go to a dance at the last second. For them or any of the sisters. I told them to put me in their phone as “Tux Guy”
I did it for the girls at first but stayed for the free food.

Tuesday trivia kinda became a tradition—-and we’re in college, they’re in college so it’s not creepy like the loner 50 year olds in there. To pick any one thing: if you bring girls with you, it clarifies that you aren’t a weirdo who seems like he looks at a baseball blog throughout a whole day thinking about applying linear weights to batted balls to better determine a pitcher’s ability. Gotta hide that.

100% true and true.
and 50% is being “nice”.
Bringing in other girls is pretty essential, I got off on a tangent and forgot that key element. Girls have a 6th sense for lonely creepers or players. Coming in with girls already is ideal and going in alone, with one guy or a group of guys means you have a lot of work ahead of you.

it's actually all about emotions
there are 4 relationship killing emotions he calls the 4 horsemen. Contempt is the highest of them all.
He straps you in a lab and monitors your emotions based on your body levels and also through the Ekman facial coding.
There needs to be a 5:1 positive to negative emotion ratio…when I’m fighting with a girl this is my defining moment…I try to gauge her emotions in conjunction with mine. Usually after our first argument (no matter what it’s about, just as long as it’s relevant) I have a good guess how our relationship will be.

Spants, I hate to say this, but
with enough counselling, almost any 2 people can maintain a relationship. That’s why I never bought the whole “meant to be together” crap. Basically, 2 people that have either very compatible or very complimentary personalities decide to hook up forever. Were they the perfect fit for one another? Probably not. But, they were good enough to make it work.

Are you assuming it cheapens my relationship? Because I don’t feel that it does. And in reality, we’ve had very little counseling. Mainly, we had a communication disconnect.
I don’t think there’s a perfect relationship or a relationship that wouldn’t benefit from counseling. I also think it’s very, very rare that two well-adjusted people get together and have very few issues.

Silly song quotes aside
It kind of sounds like Eckstreem doesn’t. That is, a philosophy of “finding somebody you believe is and that you can get along with” doesn’t really sound like love to me. Just because there is no such thing as “meant-to-be true love that is written in the stars” or whatever, doesn’t mean that love doesn’t actually exist. It just means that love itself is more of an intentional act that requires effort and commitment.
I could be missing Eckstreem’s point though.

That is exactly it, Matty.
It’s not that I don’t really believe in the feeling. You just have to try to keep loving somebody. Honestly, I think that is why people are so involved in these transient relationships. Once the “new” wears off, and it gets down to some sort of rhythm, people get bored and move on. It takes a lot of effort, and that effort is a lot more effective if you actually enjoy your significant other’s company.
Could I ever love the Cubs? No. It is an unattractive franchise with a HUGE ego problem. The Red Sox are quite beautiful, but they are the proverbial “psycho bitch from hell”. The Cardinals, I can love that. They are attractive enough, and we get along swimmingly. That is a relationship I can count on.

I have to wonder if there’s some number massaging going on there. For example, there are pretty reliable statistics on marriages lasting past one year, let alone 7 years.

I know nothing about the guy’s methods, but I have heard about him before, and the out-of-context factoid of him “predicting with 95% accuracy” etc etc seems very fishy to me.

that's where it all came together for me...
I never understood why I could get specific types of girls in specific settings and failed miserably in other places with other types. To this day I probably couldn’t pick up a girl in a club if my life depended on it. BUT I’ve learned what I did right what I did wrong now I can apply it almost everywhere (except clubs, I just suck there and I don’t see that changing)

I like the fact that if I see a girl that captivates me I can see if there is more to her than the eye. And if there is I have a sporting shot of doing something with her….and a significant shot over the guys that will just sit back and hate and think it’s society’s fault.

You'd have a higher chance of getting ginger babies with a Scottish girl.
Sometimes it just happens when you least expect. My mom and my dad are both dark hair, dark eyes. My mom is half Italian, half Mexican. My dad is sort of a Euro-American white guy mix. I believe red hair is a recessive trait, so it takes both sides to make it possible (science people feel free to correct me here).
Anyway, there’s no fail safe method against ginger babies. The gingers will get you and you’ll never see it coming.

Franklin & Miller Deals
Per the P-D, here’s Franklin’s:
Franklin’s deal is based off the $2.75 million option the team had for 2010, exercising it with a slight raise and locking in an additional year for a total worth of about $6.5 million. The deal is laced with incentives based around games finished.
And Miller, LOOGY extraordinaire:
The contract finalized Sunday picks up and guarantees all of his bonuses for this season — some $680,000 worth for appearances yet to come — and pays him $2 million for next year. Miller has a $2 million vesting option for 2011. It triggers a $1 million buyout if he makes 45 appearances in 2010 and does not go on the disabled list with the shoulder imperfection discovered in the physical.

It seems to
The two flap helmets get flattened by near major league velocity and it’s the least painful place to get hit in college. There’s a disconnect I’m missing. I’m pretty sure there is more padding or something in them.

Well...
Two-flap helmets have been standard in the minor leagues for quite some time now, yet they decided to make these giant new things mandatory going forward. So I guess they didn’t feel like there was enough padding in regular two-flaps.

I fully expect some arrogant New York Times writer to put out a piece about how the debut of Target Field, pitting the Twins against the St. Louis Cardinals, is some sort of metaphor for the soulless and consumerist culture of suburban middle America.

I am also finding pics of what looks like a standard 4-seamer.
P.S. I just notice that he seems to have changed numbers (to 35 from 42)? If so, and since the pitch seems to be new, then the ones where he’s wearing 35 should be more likely to be the pitch.

My first response in seeing that: Who in the f**k is Mark L. Johnson?
Upon further consideration, my response is who in the f**k is Mark L. Johnson?
He apparently came out of a 4-year retirement to have 18 PAs with us last September, then rode off into the sunset again. Former first round draft pick who didn’t exactly pan out, to say the least.
Also, he’s one of three Mark Johnsons to play major league baseball, all in this decade. In the heyday of Mark Johnsons, 2000, they all played and they all sucked. And thus the triple Mark Johnson era came to an ignominious end.
