So is this game on FSMW or not?
The website says it’s on MLB Network and FSNorth. But Eff said it’s on FSMW.
You can read it in any tone you like.
i don't see anything
other than VEB posters to suggest it is on fsmw
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
maybe
they’re just showing the fsno broadcast on fsmw?
if not, i’ll be mad if i can’t watch the cards’ broadcast when it’s available
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
My Direct TV menu, from which I chose the program to record, says it's on FSM HD.

Now, hopefully it doesn’t rain too much and we can till it in tomorrow.

From a link on fangraphs what do you think
My computer just ate a nice post I did on UZR.
The Fangraphs valuations just don’t come close. Something’s wrong with their method and I think its probably UZR. Folr example, they value the whole 84-win Rays team in ‘09 at a salry of $229M, but they think the 80-win Brewers, just four less wins, are "worth" only $116M using their stat methods. Huh???? Even worse, they say the A’s and Blue Jays, both with 75 wins, are worth $162M and $176M, but the Astros and Pads, who won 74 and 75 games, are only worth $98M and $96M. Obviously, to me, there’s a big problem here.

OT - re MLB-TV
Am I dreaming this. I seem to remember that a while back MLB-TV offered a team-only package, like, just Cardinal games. It’s not so much wanting to go on the cheap, as it is I really don’t have the time or need for ALL games.
I just want to see Cardinal baseball.
On the MLB ads I can’t seem to find such a package; did they discontinue it, or did I dream that in the first place?
i never saw it
this is my third year of mlb.tv
i watch parts of a lot of other games though, mostly to see certain pitchers
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I hate all these new cookie cutter parks to be honest
Busch III is as bland as can be given that it’s the same as every other park. The only thing it has going for it is the skyline view.

I am pretty sure it's a HOK creation

The Cubs are ratbrains...
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!"

just came back in
to discover you can get a pork chop on a stick
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
aaaand I need some beer
I have a turkey in the oven for some anomalous reason, someone give me some reassurance that its okay to leave for 20-30 minutes to get beer. So at least I can attribute some small portion of the blame to you when the house burns down.
just don't stop at a bar for 10 hrs.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I shall lash myself to the mast
of sobriety while walking there, so as to resist the siren song of sweet alcohol. That was a gay odd way of saying I think I’ll make it.
I think it depends on how big of a turkey
When you started and what it’s in. But normally you can leave without anything bad happening.
Especially if you're in the middle of cooking.
If it’s set to come out soon, I wouldn’t leave.
You can read it in any tone you like.

Usually about three hours. I’m pretty sure this a common occurrence in Kirkwood and Webster on Thanksgiving.

Heading to Baton Rouge for a Friday night showdown between Renaudo (LSU) and Grimm (Georgia). Batteries on radar gun fully charged!

well, he spelled Ranaudo's name wrong

pitcher from covington, la
named randy leblanc.. the kid is raw, but he’s got some potential for sure. he just started getting a lot of attention.
like i said
he just blew up recently, so i’m not real sure that many people were on to him before now. there was a good collection of teams there last night, though.
i don’t know what to expect as for his draft potential. he throws low 90s with a good breaking ball, so i seriously doubt he’ll be first round material. it’s hard to tell at this point.

I am LOVING
our power numbers so far. I hope we can carry all these extra bases into the regular season.
I hate watching Motte at 90-91
I was so excited when he first came up and was like 95-101
Not afraid to nitpick
I guess he was playing with a sinker or something because he touched 95
Still though, this is a guy who needs to be hitting 97-98-99 to be good. Granted it’s still ST, but we’re 3 days away from the real thing.
Not afraid to nitpick
No, this is a guy who needs a second pitch to be good
Last year proved that flat, high-90s is too easy for good hitters to just time out.
He wasn't regularly in the high-90s
He threw way too many 90-92 crap—-somethings in way too many games. He doesn’t get more life when he backs down the velo and doesn’t really seem to have great command no matter what, and when he doesn’t throw hard he gets lit. His secondary stuff is pretty much what it’s going to be and he can still be good with a killer fastball and a mediocre secondary pitch (see Papelbon. Not that Motte can be Papelbon, but he can be a poor man’s version…….alright homeless man’s version) He doesn’t seem to bring the killer fastball to the park with him all too frequently.
Not afraid to nitpick
It was definitely, definitely not a slider
It was not a slider/cutter/cutfastball in any way shape or form. He’d throw a sinker or a soft 4-seam or something at 90-92 with disturbing regularity.
Granted this is an outing when he also had his good fastball but those guys at about -11 and 92 mph are….bad changeups? I don’t feel like digging too much here but I remember it that he would rely more on that thing when he didn’t have his good FB.
Not afraid to nitpick
that's a bit of a reach, though
i thought they could tell rpm’s, etc. with this technology – although i bet motte has stubby little hands, which doesn’t help. better to have pedro or koufax hands. basketball hands like mine definitely are an advantage for a pitcher – i’ve been palming basketballs with both hands since i was 5’7".
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
That's what I'd think
But how many 2-seams are 4 mph slower than the slowest 4 seams? He’s definitely turning it over somethin hardcore. Either way I don’t really like it, if you can spot 97 you’ll be fine without a 2-seam.
Not afraid to nitpick
I agree
I think that Duncan is overreacting to a bad season in a small sample size – or he may have actually seen something, I don’t know.
Not really
You can survive with a 95 MPH fastball and not much else. Motte had a bad season last year, but the sample size is too small to directly attribute his stats to his true performance.
95 up in the zone is a powerful thing, and I would bet that Motte can be effective with that and the occasionally slider.
95 on my screen
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
Many pitchers have to back off a few MPH to improve their command
Maddux came up able to throw 93 but lived around 90.
There’s more to life than raw velocity, as Motte’s 2009 proved.
Motte was terrible in '09, until his velocity came back, no?

ok, are my turkey experts still in the house?
How the hell do I know when this thing is done. I timed it, but I should like double check something right…except I don’t have a meat thermometer
My wife did that for the two I did.
But if you timed it right, you should get it out before too long or it will be dry
get a meat thermometer
until juices run clean in the deepest part of the turkey if you don’t have a way to check the temp.
I'd say we're not a lot of help.
But don’t leave it in the oven too long
Yes.
Because even if you have the right temperature selected doesn’t mean your oven is at that temperature everywhere. All ovens are different. And with something like a turkey you can be off by +/-30 mins. pretty easily.
So without a thermometer you can’t tell if it is done. Unless you cut it open in the deepest part to see if the juices are clear.

I must say, for anyone who goes to Target Field, public transportation is the way to go.
And for me, living in Minnesota 10+ years, it is absolutely surreal to see the Twins have a home outside. And it’s a gorgeous ballpark. A little bit of PNC with some of the generic HOK sport, plus the great subtle touches that really stick out to you, makes it great.

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.

I would have 3 teams above .500 at this point (Brewers and Reds). Just because the Cardinals are good doesn’t mean the other teams suck.

ok, yes, he was their pick out of arizona st.
and was a late addition to AFL roster, as i’ve found some clips on him now
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
Wow.
Undersized, under velocity RHP is the guy someone picks to try to do this? I don’t see this going well.
Not afraid to nitpick
chapman was really in the running too
which would be the same deal as far as skipping minors, but he had some back issues apparently
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
so their rotation is
Harang
Arroyo
Cueto
Bailey
Leake
so what about Micah Owings? and who is dropped when Volquez returns, and chapman later in the season?
owings is in the pen
presumably long-man, and pinch-hitter
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
i know some scouts found the balty kid that we faced
the most impressive pitcher in spring, bar none, and leake the most impressive in the nl central.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
you have to imagine that - barring injury - the
Reds trade harang or arroyo midseason, if nothing else, for salary relief.
"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."

well, unless they are in the hunt
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
how many HRs is colby gonna hit this year?
assuming he stays healthy
i gotta say 30
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
probably more realistic
but he has looked like a monster this spring. even MVP contender-like. if he keeps up this pace, (i don’t see how he couldn’t!) he’ll hit 45 HRs and have a slash line that looks like albert’s
SSSS whatever. i can hypereventilate if want

i'll go 28
although i think he’ll top that in coming years, i don’t think he’ll ever have a better all-around offensive and defensive year than this – don’t know why, but we had this discussion over the winter, and i’ll stick to it. i think he will have a brilliant career – edmondsesque – but that this will be remembered as his finest year.
watching the usc game, and they have a pitcher warming in “the mark prior bullpen”
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
my top 4
pujols 44
rasmus 28
luddy 27
holliday 25
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
that's 124 from those four
i’ll add freeze as the only other double-digit guy at 12, so that’s 136 from the boppers – you got over or under?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
ill take over
Belief that success is inevitable is as likely to hold you back as a belief that it is impossible.
i hope you win
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
My projections
Pujo 45
Lego 30
Ludwig von Homeryan 29
Colt Ramone 26
total 130 I know it isn’t a big spike but Lego hasn’t posted an 8HR month since 07 when he posted and 8 and a 12 one 9HR month and he spikes above his last two years, Luddy may not be back to 08 form but I would guess the lineup around him should give him a bump.

fespn
only card highlight the holliday homer, then the final score – mostly span.
who’s everyone got final four. i’ll take mich st. over butler, and w.va. over duke. since i had w. va. losing to kansas for champ, i’ll take w. va. over mich st. in final.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
wow, miles didn't have enough grit to make walt's reds
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
much less dusty's reds
"Franklin has no patience for bloggers who believe because he pitches to contact, his start last season was something of a fluke."
did he get released?
if so, there is our backup infielder. damn it!

* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
he's in AAA
would you trade stav for him? just theoretical, because although the braves probably could use stav as AAA depth insurance (or barton), we already have gotay and no room in memphis.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
hell to the F no!
Tony can’t help himself with Mini Me. he will start him every damn game at 2nd or SS
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
from a brewers fanpost titled "more evidence jeff suppan sucks balls"
suppan threw 571 fastballs last year, got 247 swings with 11 misses for a .429 avg. – the worst fastball in baseball.
in other news, the tigers were visiting miller park tonite, and the Polish sausage won the wiener race, leading to this exchange:
I will try to remember to check the sausage race standings on Monday.
If they show 1 win for whoever wins on Monday, then we’ll know if tonight was an exhibition or not.
by tcyoung on Apr 2, 2010
The sausages race at Maryvale, so I’m not sure why they’d consider any exhibition game races as official races.
The fact we care about this says something, but I don’t know what.

Bleed Cubbie Blue fanpost
titled “Cards the favorite? Why?”
there is just so much wrong with the piece and comments, but this is so genuinely humorous even milton bradley might chuckle:
let’s hope …
that the Cardinals’ big free-agent signing flames out and says he understands why the Cardinals haven’t ton a title in four years. :)

Wow.

Evan Lysacek: 2010 Olympic Gold Medalist ♥
it was self-deprecating martyr humor
bradley, their big free-agent signing, didn’t leave chicago without saying he understood now why the cubs hadn’t won a world series in 100 years.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
at least i am assuming it was humor
if it wasn’t, then it is even funnier, but this comment that followed it perhaps gives more context:
Perhaps the vaunted St. Louis fans
will start racially taunting Holliday if he doesn’t produce.
