PrintIt's up to the bullpen—a phrase that should not inspire quite so much dread. Can Felipe Lopez pitch?

La Russa is killing me with these LOOGY usage patterns
Reyes and Miller should never, ever face Fernando Tatis. They’re right behind Chan Ho Park on the list.
Reyes came in to face Jacobs
Mets PH with Tatis. Have to face 1 hitter.

Mr. Freese is having himself a game
Has to sit behind Carp and Floppy, but he’s putting it together

Ted is having a great game...

what was the reaction to the slam?
people like it?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
Uh yeah.
I yelled my head off and Josh and I high-fived. The people all around us were yelling and clapping. It was fantastic.
You can read it in any tone you like.
Hmmm...
I like the looks of my Josh better. Sorry former batboy Josh.
You can read it in any tone you like.
he kinda had
a neanderthal look. Especially when he was a college aged “bat boy”

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I was sure it was going to be close,
but Bay was acting like he might be able to pull it back in. It felt like it took forever to get over the wall. We were along the 3rd base line in LF and so it went right past us. Obviously, by the time it got to us, I knew it was going out.
You can read it in any tone you like.
cool
lopex was very pleased, from what i saw on tv. loved taking his curtain call too. when he got back in the dugout he was pumped.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I couldn't see all of that from my seats.
It got really loud for his curtain call, though. A very electric feeling.
We had some friends a dozen rows up from the dugout and they called to say a couple of seats were open, so we snuck in down there. I’ve turned into such a snob. I won’t even sit above the 200s.
You can read it in any tone you like.
i'm kind of turning into that

Someone said you can use “COLLEGE” for half price, but I haven’t tried it.

seems like just about every weeknight series during the summer i get an email saying i can use the code “ESAVER” to get half price tix all over the stadium.

Oh, and someone gave her the tickets, so no need for the code.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
I prefer to get tickets for free, of course.
Tonight we got $40 tickets for $25 off Craigslist. They were decent seats, but I love sitting behind the dugouts. Everything is so much faster when you’re close.

Maybe trust or faith is a better word. Some people just aren’t convinced that Freese can be an everyday 3rd baseman in this League.

I agree
I think he can be average or slightly below average 3rd baseman. And for the price I’d take a slightly below average 3rd baseman over what we had last year any day of the week. Anything else is just bonus.
He doesn’t need to be Rolan or Glaus out there.

if i think someone will be fine, like rasmus and freeze, and they start getting trampled on, it sort of pisses me off – give them time!

We sang songs and prayed on Sundays. . . . We felt pain. And we felt joy. There was a lot wrong with the world. But we weren't sad, man. We had the times of our lives."

Pan-fried tilapia. I don't know how fresh it is, but they've never tasted fishy.
You can read it in any tone you like.
cool. i was always told to ask if they don't advertise how fresh fish is
like if they flew it in overnight or if it’s been sitting in a freezer for weeks
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
Tilapia and Sole hold up if they are kept frozen
but fresher is better no doubt
Belief that success is inevitable is as likely to hold you back as a belief that it is impossible.
i know nothing about fish except make sure it's fresh not frozen

In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.

McClarks or however it's spelled. totally overrated

Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
nah
It was McClards. You got close enough to jog my memory. Only went to LR once to test drive Tacoma’s and eat at some sushi place that took almost an hour to get a cook to our table once we had already been seated. But Ive got an aunt and uncle that live down there if you have a suggestion.
There was a little dive that I thoroughly enjoyed going to while I was down there. I dont remember the name, but I’d get the chopped pork and they put enough on my plate that I could eat 2 sandwiches and have enough left over for 2 more the next day for less than $10

had the ribs
they were smoked, which I liked, but they didn’t put anything on them at all. No rub, no sauce, nothing. They gave me a side of sauce, but it was way too thin and had too much vinegar in it. Not good.
Second time I went I had a pulled pork sandwich. They sauced it, but it just wasn’t good. And it was just as expensive as Purity was for 1/4th the food.

i'm actually on 1st name basis with the manager of the one up the street
yeah, i’ve been there a lot. so he let’s me try new stuff for free & it’s wasn’t bad, but the baconator is better. i used to work there in high school too so the other manager knows me from back then too but he doesn’t give me free food, just a lot of condiments & stuff like that
it’s a factory store, they get all the new stuff first. it helps that HQ is just down the street. they are always trying out new stuff about every other month

you've hit on something here
like blu-tack, ipad doesn’t really need any of those things to be useful.
exactly what
are they good for?
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
The same stuff iPod Touches are good for, but bigger.
It’s mainly for entertainment, clearly.
You can read it in any tone you like.
I'm not an iPod person
I have a sansa mp3 player that suits me fine. Wife has a iPhone. So I dont really know what an iPod is capable of. Only ones I ever see are kids using them as mp3 players or playing silly little games on them.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
Games, the Netflix app looks cool and I SO wish they had that for the iPhone/iPod Touch.
Some will use it as an eReader, but clearly not in challenging situations since those screens can be a bitch to read outside.
As a cook, I use my iPod Touch all the time. The iPad would be even better for reading recipes or using foodie apps.
You can read it in any tone you like.
talkin' bout ipod touches
it’s your wife’s phone’s functionality minus call taking, 3g and any kind of camera
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
Yep. And if you don't want to switch cell providers, it's perfect.
You can read it in any tone you like.
Except I really wish it had a camera.
Then again, I don’t usually use it outside of my house, and I have plenty of cameras here.
You can read it in any tone you like.
The apps are amazing
there is almost no corner of existence they fail to improve
Belief that success is inevitable is as likely to hold you back as a belief that it is impossible.
that was what I was thinking
I dont understand the thing. All those things spants listed, I’d just do right here on my laptop. But, to each his own. I just hate the kids, like my 15 year old cousin who said on fb 2 nights ago: “I want to get an iPad because they are the new big thing.” WTF are you going to use it for kid??
I directed him to this website
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
I don't really have space in my kitchen for my laptop.
I’ve got minimal counter space and when I’m cooking, there are usually bowls and cutting boards on those counters. I do, however, have room for the iPod Touch in the kitchen.
As for Netflix, I think watching on the iPod Touch or iPad would take up less room while watching in bed, plus it wouldn’t limit me to lying on my back. Perhaps not that big of a deal, but it would enhance things. And as for games, I don’t really play them. But Josh likes his iPod games and he plays them more than he plays games on the computer or on his BlackBerry.
You can read it in any tone you like.
guy thing
I steal Andrea’s (since we’re using spouse’s first names here) phone and play some of her games. Plus Ive got the ESPN app and MLB app on there. I’ll probably get a smart phone of my own once the income starts rolling in.
Your points about watching videos in bed and not being restricted to laying on your back is a valid one, especially with a history of back (SI) pain. Getting prone is good for you.
Side note, we need a VEB app.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
The New Yorker has a great cartoon app.
You’re right about my back. I really only like lying on my back without a pillow under my head, and it’s hard to watch a movie like that!
My SI stuff has been good. It flared a bit right after I sent you that last email, but I just kept stretching my hip flexors and it got better. It’s been doing great and I’ve been working out pretty hard three days a week, but I only do one set of bicep curls.
And yes, SBNation needs an app. NOW.
You can read it in any tone you like.
you want to strengthen your hamstrings?
You’re seeing Russian hamstring curls. Start out only doing a short range of motion and keep your hands up to catch you in case you cant pull yourself back up. Again, be careful if you do these!
You may also want to start doing some clams if/when you start getting SI pain again.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
not really
if you have healthy knees. The key is having good muscle development around the knees, which will decrease loads on the actual joint surface. The girl in the video has RIDICULOUS hamstring strength. I know I couldn’t do that, and I’m in pretty decent shape.
Interestingly enough, this is one of the exercises in an ACL injury prevention protocol that has some great results.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
I need arthrocopic surgery on my left knee.
Just need some cartilage cleaned up. Still safe to try that insane looking hamstring curl?
But I’ll keep those clams in mind. I’ve done those before. I can just work them into my routine.
You can read it in any tone you like.
yeah
you can try them. If they make your knee hurt, don’t do them. I have a tear in a meniscus in my left knee and they don’t bother me when I play around with them. Just do small range.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
i definitely concede
that the ipad would be good for in bed use. but i don’t think i could justify a $500 purchase for something for in bed use. especially if it doesn’t support the most popular platform for web based video
if i’m gonna watch a movie in bed, i’m just gonna watch it on my tv via my ps3
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
the second gen will be amazing
Belief that success is inevitable is as likely to hold you back as a belief that it is impossible.
As we speak Steve Jobs/Dr. Wierd is inseminating a first gen
Belief that success is inevitable is as likely to hold you back as a belief that it is impossible.
Oh, I can't justify that cost either.
But some people like to spend money on frivolous things. So there you go.
You can read it in any tone you like.
speaking of ipod touches
the ipad was recently broke down and found to have the exact same hardware as the ipod touch except for the touchscreen which uses iphone 2g technology
magic!
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
ninety percent of the things a laptop is good for
reading The Internet, playing time-wasting games, checking and responding to e-mail, facebook, etc., doing minor productivity stuff, listening to music.
It wouldn’t replace a full-blown Mac for me, because I have to write a lot and I have to do it every day, but the one I’m typing on now is the last laptop I’ll ever buy, as much as I love trackpads.
usb and flash support would be pretty handy
and would drastically increase the usefuleness of the device. come on, we’re supposed to be “revolutionizing computing” with “magic”
is flash support for internet browsing so much to ask?

Game Recap
Player of the Game – Felipe Lopez – game winning grand slam
Goat of the Game – Ryan Franklin – He gave up two runs in an “easy save situation”…. I put that in quotes, because i wouldn’t trust him with a 10 run lead
Play of the Game – the grand slam since it won us the game
Stupid Awards
Defensive Play of the Game – this is between Lopez in the first and Freese later in the game (didn’t see Freese’s, but comments suggest it was flashy)….. which was better?
Quote of the Night – “man that bat boy ball planted” – ?
Stupid Play of the Game – the Cards offense against Oliver Perez – come on its Oliver Perez…..
Umpire Grading – B – nothing spectacular, nothing terrible.. but a bit above average

how does anyone even hit the ball?
"We were men - flesh and blood - and we played baseball in the sunshine. We hit doubles off the wall, slid hard into second base. We had fights, and we made love. We sang songs and prayed on Sundays. . . . We felt pain. And we felt joy. There was a lot wrong with the world. But we weren't sad, man. We had the times of our lives." Buck O'Neil, from "The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America."
so, blindfolded would be as effective?
what sense of carp did you get watching in person?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
He looked like he was in control mainly.
That misplay between Albert and Lopez wasn’t hard hit. Most of the hits weren’t. They were grounders that found holes. The hardest hit ball was the one that Wright hit right at Carp. He mixed his speeds well, and he got locked in as the night progressed. He had his usual Carp mound-presence which is always a beautiful thing.
You can read it in any tone you like.
yeah, he looked good on tv

i am no expert
but i enjoy doing stuff, and i used sand (because of the depth) and then the caulk atop, level with the pavement, so that when it settled it was slightly below. i think it took me about 50-60 bucks worth of caulk, but i did two driveways, pretty much what you’re describing. one bag of sand, iirc. a nice afternoon in the sun drinking beer. the next winter will likely destroy it though, or 2 winters. but i won’t be there.
there is much better stuff which my buddy used for a longer-lasting treatment, but he’s nuts. that’s more along the lines of grout – i believe it’s actually that self-leveling cement, and he did his whole driveway to make it look like a patio.

Back from the game
Far from the first time I’ve been but I was actually going to blog this time, until my fiancé stopped me mid post in the bottom of the first. Carp looked muck better today, as dId Feese’s glove, David Wright showed him up though, but not at the plate (Freese 3-4!). Craig is taller than I expected and only hitting .100 but the swing looks good the results just aren’t there yet. Ludwick is a good hitter that REALLY seems to need to be more patient. As many baseball games as u may go to each one u learn something new. Today, I learned that bottom of the 7th rallies are the best 7th inning stretch ever. We stayed for some fireworks thing because my fiancé wanted to (this is the woman who would only leave me for Yadi but doesn’t remember players like Gary gaetti or Darren Bragg likely because they aren’t “cute” enough). They started with the final countdown and somehow timed the fireworks explosions exactly with the music. Then moved to something country (I hate country), but then followed with AC/DC and never revisited country after that so it turned out ok. This long of a comment feels like it should have a Matthew leach style playlist:
“never been to Spain” -three dog night
“one thing” -finger eleven
“breath” -breaking Benjamin

Good point about Allen Craig.
I thought he looked good tonight. He laced a few line drives just foul, and he had a good eye at the plate. Shame he didn’t get a hit.

he's not afraid to fall behind 0-2 if they are tough pitches
pretty confident in his ability.

2) did i really see that oliver perez was the last batter in the top of the 7th and then they put nieve in? wtf?

brace yourself's
i hate vanilla ice cream
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
why eat vanilla when you can have
chocolate or strawberry? vanilla ice cream is just so plain & tasteless
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
i tried to eat some vanilla
about an hour ago. Last time a tried (last weekend) I started to have an allergic reaction. Happened again tonight. I’ve got some crazy food allergies. Apparently there’s something in there that doesn’t agree with me.
The worst food allergy I have is to poultry. Cant eat chicken, turkey, etc.

i would kill myself if i couldn't eat chicken
what kind of ice cream are you eating? maybe it’s just that brand?
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
maybe
it was whatever the wal mart brand is called now. I cant eat eggs unless they are thoroughly cooked first. So, maybe they put raw eggs in it? Thats the case with Andy’s frozen custard.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
oh gawd i love Andy's sooo much
that’s awful you can’t eat it.
wally world’s ice cream sucks. i got some a couple months back & almost threw it out. i’d rather go without than have to eat that
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
parents bought it
a few weeks back when they were here. Its just been sitting in the freezer so I thought I’d put it out of its misery. Instead, it put me in my misery for a few minutes.

sounds like an intolerance to me
mine is a true allergy, in that my mouth itches, lips swell up, and if I don’t catch it, I run the risk of going into anaphylactic shock and potentially dieing. Which wouldnt be fun.
Somewhere I have some good info comparing intolerances to allergies. If I come across it anytime soon I will forward it along to you.

Carp FX Comparison
So I saw what The Continental posted and I wanted to compare this start for Carp against the MIL start….
First the speed charts:
Today
Looks alot like Waino’s from Monday.
In contrast here is the MIL start
Big difference. Not nearly as effective at changing speeds.
Next the release point:
Today
Nice tight grouping. Tough to pick up anything there as a hitter.
v. MIL
The thing I noticed was how much lower his release point is in this graph.
Now the strikezone plot:
Today
Mostly on the outside corner.
v. MIL
Big difference here. Looks like the mirror reverse of tonight’s start.
Draw your own conclusions as to the reasons for the differences…

Could be
The common denominator between Waino and Carp’s start tonight is that he faced offenses that aren’t as good as MIL’s.

Watching the replay of the post-game, and Horton and the other guy said
Carp’s curve averaged 15" of break tonight. They said Waino’s curve averages 18" of break. :O
You can read it in any tone you like.
Pitch FX says a little less
Close to 10in of break on the curve for Carp tonight.

there are better ways
to strengthen your core. Crunches will work better and you dont stress your neck and back. If you get some core strength built up you can try some plank exercises, but those are difficult and positioning is key. Its all in the workout plan. All the core stuff is crunches, no sit ups.
Sit ups are basically a hip flexor exercise because most people dig their heels in and use their hip flexors to pull themselves up.

that explains all the ADD
and why people like football so much. theres seams to be a lot of action, but it’s just short bursts of plays over a long period of time that only make it seam like the 22 players are doing a lot where they are actually not doing that much.
whereas with baseball there can be 100 things going on with only 13 players on the field, but if you don’t know what to look for you’d never know all that stuff is happening.

I had an Ahole boss who would make people repeat themselves
and laugh on the inside once I was in on it I got a lot more enjoyment from it

Seriously gdm
have you transferred all of your resentment to that one guy?

no, and believe it or not, i'm holding back a lot
if i had the power he wouldn’t be here anymore. i get it can be hard to come to a new place & try to fit in. but him thinking we’d just eat up his post game stuff & think we care about what he thinks, and his response to us just trying to tell him how the site works, really, really got on my bad side. the text stuff was asked to stop three times before i said something today. we don’t know him while he might know a little about us, and i’m of the belief you are to be seen & not heard if you are new. you don’t just jump in & present yourself as God’s gift to the place.
i was nice to him earlier about the chick i don’t know. honest, i’m really trying. he seams really young too. like no older than 12 young. so that may explain the reason he says he doesn’t understand how things work
