The Indians promised to win both games as a birthday present to me. I wouldn’t lie.

I hope your birthday celebration is as shameless as your plea for birthday wishes. IOW, happy birthday.

So Laffey only threw 50 pitches tonight, 3 innings. Looked sharp.
So, he’s getting that extra start I’m guessing? Though it seems weird to lower his pitches to ready him for that.

I agree with this. They are handling Miller in a certain way and there is no reason to get ahead of the program.

I just had the rotation wrong in my mind. That is all.

why did they start game 1 so late? Should have went day-night.

day-night is used when you have large crowds and don’t want or can’t exchange tickets for other games; does not apply to KC

Has anybody else been reading the title of Evan’s latest FanPost to the tune of Marc Cohn’s “Walking in Memphis” every time they see it?

Not intended that way, and I’d have made the title more clever had I considered the song. Damn.

You know, I think Al does a fine job with these STO updates. But do they have to be produced with such faux-Sportsnight intensity? The man’s set is an oak desk in front of a brick wall, fer crine oot lood. What’s wrong with being a little campy?
If it were me, I’d hire a house band. One of those over-the-top aggressive metal outfits that’s always playing in Akron. “We’ll be back after this with today’s lineups. Take it away, When the Bleeding Blood Flows!

If Cliff’s ERA gets any lower, I’m going to have to insist that he get an entourage together.

The Disabled List just called ... it was trying to unload Joe Borowski. I offered a bagel but balked at giving up a ham sandwich. It wanted to keep Westbrook.

I want to hammer Bannister so bad. I hate Bannister with the same fire that makes me want to hate Sowers.
I hate anything called “cerebral” in sports.
by afh4 on Apr 24, 2008 10:27 PM EDT 0 recs
I like the guy. Admiddedly, more than Sowers

When it comes to sports, “cerebral” = “not talented.”

One of my favorites is “high (name of sport) IQ”
What the hell does that mean. A high football IQ? A high basketball IQ? What the F does that mean?

Sowers himself has a great comment about that. I’ve heard him say several times something to the effect of “If I had a 97-mph fastball, nobody would talk about my brain.”

Apparently this ump has a little more generous strike zone than the last one.

I don’t actually hate him, I just hate all the sportscaster cliches where if a guy doesn’t throw hard, he must be smart. I’ve heard that Bannister is big into stats, which actually kinda makes me like him.

I hate all these kinds of players. I can’t help it. It’s a pure sports hate not a personal hate.
I just get so so tired of listening to guys like Stark and Gammons talk about guys like this like they’re the next Glavine or whatever.

Yeah, what the hell happened there? I was watching the Flyers game (fucking Habs) & flipped over and they’re down by 30. Did LeBron spontaneously combust or something?

I actually feel like a better person for the fact that I’ve never even HEARD of that show. Not that I wouldn’t watch it if I happened across it while flipping around, of course.

The fact that I’ve seen that show proves that I’m not above trash. There are some things I refuse to watch (American Idol), but if I happen across Real World, I’m likely to sit there & watch the whole stupid thing.
