Houston Astros at St. Louis Cardinals, May 11, 2010 8:15 PM EDT

| Myers | Penny |
| 1-2, 3.60 | 3-2, 1.99 |
Higgledy Piggledy
Myers like Waino is
mostly reliant on
curving the ball.
Beaker finds trickery
quite unbecoming and
Duncan-approvedly
throws none at all.

“It’s sort of good now that there is debris to be blown out there,” [Dave Howard, the Mets’ executive vice president for business operations] said. “It shows people are spending some money and buying food and drink and enjoying themselves.”

I had to replace 2 teeth
(Knocked them out playing basketball) and I took 8 shots in the mouth for anesthesia, but hours into the process, the dentist realized he molded my fake teeth incorrectly, and had to redo the entire process again. It was painful and time-consuming.
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.

That is a stupid dentist.
I’ve had one bad dentist and several mediocre ones. My current dentist is fantastic. His office is nowhere near me. I’d drive twice as far to see him, though. His name is Dr. Thomas Gotsis if anyone is looking for new dentist.

there's a certain doctor of russian descent

Well, he was a great dentist when he was younger
but I believe he is in his 80’s now, and is retiring soon. He’s a really nice guy, but his nerves in his fingers are almost shot.
I haven’t been back since then. I go to a much better one now.

I had some permanent teeth that never were (if that makes sense)
one dentist botched the bridge to replace them, another nicked what I assumed was a nerve while replacing the first bridge. Had to have the second bridge removed because of the wanting to kill myself amount of pain. While waiting for the third bridge to come back, I got one hell of an infection under a temporary one. If I would have had a gun in the house, I would have probably shot that part of my mouth off.

I've dealt with lots of different types of pain and I have to say that mouth pain is by far the worst.

Knocking down bad hitters
I don’t have the book handy, but there was a great story in The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract about one team knocking down a hitter, then retiring him later in the at bat. Next batter, same thing. The third guy walks up and tells the catcher, “I swear, if your pitcher throws a pitch at me, I’m putting this bat through your helmet.” The catcher says, “Don’t worry about it – we haven’t knocked a guy down all year that’s hitting as bad as you.”

Why scrap the
‘pitcher hitting 8th’ theory?
I’d imagine with the leadoff hitter actually being a run producing threat, having the 9th hitter be a bit better than a pitcher (in theory, at least….Boog ‘has’ been struggling), would be the superior option?

if he hadn’t been 1st pitch taking, that would have landed somewhere near Alton
Nothing new then.
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!"

3 90 7"/9" Change fouled off

Still rather see Boog at Short.
The strength of our team is our Starting Pitching, and inducing grounders in particular. I’d rather have the vacuum at SS even if it means some iffy offensive production.
this
plus, Boog didn’t suck at the plate last year. He can hit. He’s not right now, but I think it’s reasonable to expect he’s going to have a few drop in as the season goes along.
greene has made some throwing errors
though at least one wasn’t on him, but he’s still a great athlete and playmaker. his upside is likely considered higher than boog.

yeah, I doubt I'd be as anxious if everyone else was on all-cylinders
but then it makes Skip tense, which makes Skip start hacking, and that in turn makes Boog discombobulated…. well, among many other reasons.

he played hurt a whole season, IIRC. I will assume that someone with an injury history on his legs
has license to go slow down the bases and gets checked out every time he does anything to his legs. I could be wrong, of course, and they’re just overreacting every time it happens.

Sorry, but...
TLR exists for a reason. If he believes Albert shouldn’t be playing, it’s his fucking JOB to tell Albert he isn’t playing. Although….I’d be kind of scared to try to keep him off the field, myself, come to think of it.
Albert is part owner of the team

so does everyone else with that name

i thought everyone here was saying it with long "a"?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I kinda pronounced it with
a long ‘a’ and a long ‘e’
Hey-me. I guess.
wonder why he introduced himself in this commercial as long "e"?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I'm so confused.
Pat Parris even apologized to him and emphatically pronounced it “Hi-may.”

yeah, i don't know
