Lopez - 94 pitches through 5

One good thing McGwire has done with the hitters is getting them to make the starter throw a ton of pitches

Pirates
Reds
Nats
Marlins
Rockies

hey, no explanation on the paperwork for my manifold/cat. I’m going to try to call them tomorrow and get an explanation. In the meantime, should I go ahead and replace the O2sensor?

by scoot on Apr 19, 2010 11:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

might as well try it.....

if you replace the manifold you’d want to put a new sensor anyway. So you could just transfer it. If you are mechanically inclined at all, I can fax, or possibly email (I’m not sure), the all-data instructions on changing out the sensor, and the manifold. If you change the sensor, go to a place that will read the code before you buy it, and clear it after you change it. If the light comes back on after the code is cleared, you most likely will have to change the manifold.

That's pretty horrible.

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.

He usually hits like -.273.

I can’t even fathom how that average would occur.

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.

Without looking up Amy numbers

I am going to try to figure out if 80% of our runs coming on hrs means anything. It could mean our hr/fb is anomalously high, which would be bad. It could mean our babip has been too low, meaning we’ve had to hit it out of the park to get runs. It could also mean we’ve turned into a three true outcomes team and are getting on with walks and not putting it into play that much. It could also not mean jack shit.

Who the hell is Doug Fister?

As why does he have a no-hitter through 6 against the Orioles…..oh….it’s the Orioles…..Nevermind, I understand.

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.

In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

Is it required that the hitter gets no RBI if he reaches by error? Even if there is less than 2 outs and his potential putout would bring in the run anyway?

he’s half the hitter as craig, but a good defender, though not in colby-class. if he does well maybe they can trade him for something – not much.

otherwise, there’s no place or value. mather is better. craig is an excellent hitter. thing is, tony seems to want stav instead – maybe because he can emergency catch, who knows.

From wikipedia:

“Bamf” in the Marvel Universe relates to the X-Men character Nightcrawler and the resulting sound he makes when he teleports. The sound is caused by air rushing into the space where Nightcrawler’s body once was.1 It has been borrowed as a teleport sound by fans and a generic term for teleporting in general (“…and then he bamfed out…”).

Breakdown of Athlete Albums
Vehicles and Animals: Listen’s really good as a whole album straight through, El Salvador and the title track are the best IMO
Tourist: Most Acclaimed, a lot less Indie. Wires is great lyrically, and sounds really cool when listened to in SurroundSound.
Beyond the Neighbourhood: Recorded in Athlete’s own personal studio, so they got to really make it EXACTLY what they wanted it to sound like and experiment with some sounds, etc. Also listens really well as a whole album, but it’s lacking in the crispness that the first two albums had
Black Swan: Recorded in Athlete’s own studio again. Combines the recording quality of the first two albums with the artwork of BtN. The title track is a tribute to Joel Pott’s (lead singer) great uncle (i think) who fought in the Battle of Arnhem, the bloodiest battle of WWI

Hilarity with small numbers:

Cardinals pitchers are just ridiculously awesome, but the division leader in pitching WAR is the Cubs pitching staff at 2.7, including a ricockulous 1.1 WAR from Carlos Silva and Sean Marshall.

Silva I especially can’t wait to see because he has now fully committed to junk-ball yet has not allowed a walk thanks to an Ankiel-esque O-swing of 27% and an 11.1% swinging strike rate (more than double his career average, and almost triple his rate from his previous 200 innings). He’s getting fewer ground balls than ever, but he has been extremely lucky. His LD% is actually higher than ever, yet his BABIP and HR/FB are insanely low. All aboard the regression train.

I'm one of those "I don't care how you killed the cow; just serve me a great steak" guys. If the results are logical and easy to understand, I'm pouring some A1 sauce on that formula and eating it. UZR qualifies. -Bill Simmons

it's because their offense has been so bad.

strange doin's

re MLB-TV: when I watched the game last night I got the Arizona feed (including the dill-weed, Mark Grace) but when I accessed it on archive this morning (because I missed the first inning) I got Dan and Al

Missed the game last night

Only caught the first 1 1/2 innings. New work schedule has me up at 5:30 instead of 8:30. I would have been fine with a 7:15 start.. I’ll be better next work.

Anyway, good to see that Penny settled down after that first inning. I love how our pitchers go 7+ innings and give up 2 ER, and raise their ERA>
