I eat pork most of the year but I stay completely kosher during passover because I think it would be weird to observe one set of dietary laws but not the other.

He's a fascist
I mentioned this to my father the last time he came and visited his grandchildren. Well, by this I mean Shelby’s numbers from last year. He said the kid is probably throwing too many pitches. Then I reminded him that the things that drive pitch counts up are walks and hits, aka baserunners. He seemed adamant that Shelby should just learn to get every hitter out on one or two sinkers and call it a day.

I’m trying to see a game before Sept on the east coast and my only option is NYC. Decent seats start at around 150 per.
My girlfriend and I went out to STL last year for my birthday and we got seats right behind home plate for three games in a row, now she refuses to put up with the “shitty” seats we used to get (upper deck third base line).
Though now she does really like going to baseball games.
I get free tickets 2-3 times a year through work.
I’m also somewhat excited about the dynamic pricing as I could care less about who the Cardinals are playing for the most part.
Proud member of the Sports Injury Industrial Complex: We feel your pain and it feels good.
Plus they're cheaper against bad teams (Cubs excepted)
Which means the Cardinals should have a better chance of winning! Unless it’s 2010.
So since there is no baseball on at the moment can I tell my story about the crazy principal who talked to my class today?
Okay great, thanks!
Until just 2 weeks ago he still paddled kids. I was pretty sure this was illegal but he was like the district and the parents were behind me 100%. And we were like “WTF?” I got “Stop, Drop, and paddle.” from this presentation. Also got you can go from Wendy’s Assistant Manager in “The World of Wendy’s” to PE Teacher to principal. It was extremely encouraging.
And the presentation was just as confusing as what I just wrote so welcome to my class today.

and I’d rather they do that than something else I heard recently (second -hand) from a high school science teacher.

That is, give all the slackers, etc. that had D’s and F’s in the class C’s so they could pass.

Maybe they tell us it's illegal in school so we don't do it.
They tell us we can’t touch kids. We can’t even hug them anymore technically.

Early Childhood people tend to tell the people who tell them they can't hug a crying kid to go screw themselves.
And that is probably one of the few times you’ll see anyone in my major get legitimately angry enoguh to possibly hit someone.

All the schools here in Oklahoma still do it.
You just have to have parent permission and they have the option to opt out if they don’t want their children paddled. It’s not even close to “illegal”.
by WizardofOz1982 on Apr 20, 2011 10:23 AM EDT up reply actions
Same here
I had forgotten about the parental permission step last night, but, now that I think about it again, that’s what my local school district does. I can’t remember if it’s a blanket, first of the year decision, or case by case. I think I recall my niece saying they got asked at the first of the year about their son. They told the school sure, if he needs paddling, do it.
I don’t think it is used nearly as much as it was when I was a wee lad. A much more common punishment now is missing recess.

My third grade teacher had a thin oak paddle with the word OUCH

I remember several teachers named there paddles. I don’t remember any of the names now, and I didn’t get paddled any that I recall, but it certainly happened.
One junior high teacher I had would occasionally pick someone out in the class who was only mildly misbehaving and tell him/her, “I’ll make a deal with you. We’ll go out in the hall and if you let me paddle you as hard as I can, three licks, I’ll let you yell as loud as you want when I do it.” Nobody, to my knowledge, ever took him up on this offer.

Most of the teachers just used hers.
The fact that all kids knew it was there was deterrent to a lot of bullshit. I remember one new kid that thought he was a badass lipped off to our 8th grade teacher with some language that he deemed inappropriate. The teacher sent the kid down to the third grade room to get the paddle. He then made him bend over the desk and swatted him hard enough that the whole desk scooted across the floor. The kid was a model student, sort of, after that.

The big problem with this,
is that teachers need to control their emotions and set good examples. “Hey I’m pissed off by what you did so I’m going to hit you!” is neither of those.
http://fuckyeahnouns.com/alex%20fritz
Yeah.
And what message does this send? Kid gets in a fight and obviously gets in trouble. Punishment: Paddling. So you are saying, “Don’t hit people! So now I’m going to hit you.” Parents are allowed to use paddling and things if they want because parenting is slightly different than teaching. That’s what we’re taught anyway.

First of all he wasn't pissed off.
There were rules that we lived by. One of which was, you don’t cuss out teachers. You break the rules you deal with the punishment. I went to that grade school for 9 years K-8. I can only recall a handful of times that anybody got a whipping by him, 4 maybe 5, in all those years. The lesson was simple, don’t fuck up and you won’t get in trouble. Same rules as was in the houses we lived in. Mr. B didn’t “hit” kids. It took a lot for him to get to that point. So do me a favor, don’t make him out to be some kind of monster.

Bunt scenario question:
down 1, bottom 9, slow runner at first, no out, 350 woba guy at bat, 320 woba guy on deck, PH after that.
Bunt? Seems like a clear yes.
Sign Carlos Silva!!!
I dunno what RE says is the highest percentage play
but if we’re playing Who Wants To Be A Manager?, I’d say it depends on the relative bunting skills & speed of your next two hitters, who the pitcher is, who the other team’s infielders are, etc.
I think I might be inclined to let the .350 guy swing away, or try to work a walk, and let the .320 guy try to bunt. Guess it also depends on who you’ve got coming off the bench, too….

When your batter gets hit, it was on purpose. When your pitcher hits somebody, it was an accident (or, in a variation, they deserved it). When their player is loud and curses at the ump, he’s a jerk. When our player does, he has spirit and intensity that help him compete.
I’d rather just cut to the chase and say I’m a cardinal fan.

Proud member of the Sports Injury Industrial Complex: We feel your pain and it feels good.
Fun fact
Colby Rasmus and Rick Ankiel are tied in career fWAR if you include Rick’s pitching days. If you don’t, Rasmus has been worth double Ankiel as a position player (and hitter) in 300 fewer PAs.
Proud member of the Sports Injury Industrial Complex: We feel your pain and it feels good.
as a sample...
I always liked Rick Ankiel. If he returns to form as a hitter, he is a formidable center fielder/outfielder in that he has a cannon of an arm, and will dive for catches and go hard onto the warning track to catch fly balls. This is in contrast to the Cardinals current center fielder who has an embarrassment of an arm for an alleged MLb center fielder, and never dives for catches or will go hard to the track for catches(much less the wall), witness last weeks 9th inning misplay where he was “pulling up” as he hit the track. Go Rick. I hope you have a great year..

People probably love Ankiel more, but average fans also seem to love
Aaron Miles a rather disturbing amount.
Well, 2008 Rick Ankiel did look like he had an excellent season to many observers
B-Ref actually has him at 3.4 WAR that year, I think, which is almost double his Fangraphs WAR. The defensive rating tanked his fWAR obviously. Anyway, it looked like he was a “good” fielding center fielder who could hit 25 homers, and that is exciting to people on its own, let alone with the dramatic backstory of The Rick Ankiel.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
I'm still (irrationally, I admit) pissed at him for quitting pitching.

His pitching heyday was kind of legendary and hazy to me, because it was before I decided to follow baseball for real
I was barely paying attention around those years.
When I think about it, it’s still pretty damn impressive what he was able to do as a major league hitter, albeit briefly, after completely switching roles like that.

I think that’s a lot of the love for the rather mediocre performance as an OF. He had some good games, threw out guys at third occasionally, etc., but, yea, Colby is a much better OF than Ankiel ever will be.

but I wouldn’t be surprised if any of the teams in our division go on a run, at least within the division.
What’s the sched look like for Seattle, Arizona and SF?

7-2-5! Craig to Yadi to Descalso!
I am out of the closet as a member of the St. Louis Riot, 2011.
on a cursory glance, the Rams have a significantly harder schedule this year than any of those teams.
I don’t think this will be the year unless we put it ALL together.
7-2-5! Craig to Yadi to Descalso!
I am out of the closet as a member of the St. Louis Riot, 2011.
After that can we discuss the implications of the Rams playing in the not-going-to-happen...
hall of fame preseason game. Which was actually being discussed on NFL Network at one point.
It's gonna be fugly
At Packers, Giants, Cowboys, Steelers, Browns: 1.5 wins
Home vs Eagles, Ravens, Redskins, Saints, Bengals: 2 wins
That means to get to 10 wins they’ll have to go 6-0 in the division and get the league to award them half a win for some reason.
Not happening.
Sign Carlos Silva!!!
It's like they're already in the playoffs now!
No way they don’t go 12-4.

We get the Packers and Saints because we finished in second place and they did too.
We get the two hardest divisions – NFC East, AFC Rust Belt (midwest? north?) in the SAME YEAR…

Icy Hot is only used to make it feel better
not going to do anything to help the healing process. Where you have to be careful with things like that is trying to go out and do something you shouldn’t be doing, like trying to play softball again too quick. Wait until you are pain free. I’d recommend icing it down; 15 minutes on, at least 45 minutes off. You can also wrap it with an ace bandage. Otherwise, just try to take it easy.

As I trudge toward the end of law school, I’ve got to crank out a 5-10 pager (single spaced, damn it). I don’t see how watching eight hours of baseball is going to help, much.
a good lawyer would figure a way
I may be in a rut, but at least I know where I'm going
...to DFA TLR
what kind of a paper?

Pretty generic, for my legal profession class.
Writing it about the implications of having a unified JD, rather than more specialized degrees (like, say, one geared toward complex commercial law and one geared toward individual-service practices). It’s boring.
good gob that sounds awful
i never had to write any papers in law school…just fake briefs.

I would write fake briefs all day, if I had the option.
Unfortunately this stuff is what I got stuck with to meet the writing requirement. This one, and an (also extremely dry) analysis of the origins of the homestead exemption in bankruptcy law. So if you’ve ever wanted to know about debtor-creditor relationships in the Republic of Texas…
i had an interesting discussion with my roommates last night.
if wainwright wasn’t hurt, k-mac is your closer, right? and it’s not even a close decision.

i dont think so
i mean, maybe that’s what tony would do, but that’s not what i would do. k-mac works so much better as a set up guy. and if waino isn’t hurt, then k-mac is the set up/long reliever guy and we probably don’t have anyone else to fill that spot. i want moggs. or botte.

Mitch Boggs and Kyle McClellan going into the season, 4.01 and 4.10 FIP projected.
Mac has a 3.49
Boggs 3.18
Sanchez -2.27
OH NO I WILL NOT STOP BEATING THIS DRUM.

i know you won't.
but at some point you have to start thinking about what would/could happen and not what you think should happen.

probably for TLR
i am not sure we would all feel that was the right decision in the moment though.
Aaron Rowand reaches on a fielder's choice out, left fielder Allen Craig to catcher Yadier Molina to third baseman Daniel Descalso. Andres Torres out at home. Aaron Rowand to 2nd on the throw. Two out.
