what I can tell yall is that it is now pouring here (close enough to Cleveland) and getting very dark outside.
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.
Any news on a start time?

They’re talking about the Boston/Atlanta series, and that devolved into a general discussion of Boston sports. Manning said, “Even the Bruins made the playoffs this year.” And Underwood said, “It’s good to be a beaneater.”

maybe he confused bostonians with beefeaters? i.e. those dudes who guard the castle in london?
it’s easy to confuse – they are both pompous a-holes who pretend you don’t exist.

His first two starts were bad, but not earthshatteringly, supremely unexpectedly bad (5.1 IP, 5 ER & 5.1 IP, 4 ER). It was his next two starts that were just insanely horrible (7.1 IP, 18 ER).
Agreed, I just do not understand.

Not really. But my point is that it doesn’t make any sense to complain about this EVERY GAME.
It’s like watching wheelchair basketball daily and complaining about the lack of dunks. It’s not a realistic expectation.
Uhh. We’ve been stupefied by Duchsherer, Dana Eveland, Dustin Mosely, Dinardo, and Armando Gallaraga.
Dude. We aren’t a good offensive team. Expecting them to hit anybody hard at this point is a reach. And they struggle against plenty of “chumps.”
What’s your point? That they got stupefied by slightly better pitchers the other 24 games?
.....and for what its worth, at least thus far, our rotation is ridiculous better than anyone elses.
We’re one trade away from being absolutely ridiculous good.

Soo, does anyone know anything about Italian league soccer?
I accidentally bet all of the money in my account on a game on that centsports site jake was talking about earlier.
I’m wondering what my chances are on one of the matchups.
I watch Siere A when it is on the Soccer channel. Can’t say I know a ton, but I was really into it a few years ago.
well, neither are good… kinda like trying to pick who would win a NFL game with two 4-10 teams. But, Reggina has more to play for, I think they are still in danger of being relegated (i.e. the team is moved to the minors next season)... actually they both might still have that looming. If the game is in Catania, they should win, but if its away, its probably a toss up.
its in catania and i put all my cash on reggina.
doesn’t quite sound good for me but I think reggina is in dire need of winning or at least scoring lots of goals. i looked it up and catania seems to be safe but reggina is hanging onto a thread to being moved to the minors.
So I need to get really lucky.
Yeah, Wedge has taken a real turn for the worse. I always thought his best quality was turning the machine on and letting it work or not work.
Now, he’s looking like one of those managers that meddles with everything. All these stupid fucking bunts, sending JP to steal 2nd, etc.
wait what the fuck is going on in this game
