I hate west coast games. I mean, is it REALLY too much to ask to start all the contests around 730pm, EST?

Breslow gave up a run

The Indians are now validated in letting him go

by ahowie on Jul 21, 2008 9:50 PM EDT   0 recs

About time. Been waiting a while for that validation.

Meh, at least the lineup is constructed semi properly.

by supermarioelia on Jul 21, 2008 10:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Marte’s OPS+ is absolutely brutal. oof.

by gte619n on Jul 21, 2008 10:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I’d really like the last three guys in this lineup to start playing well

For a team with the best record in baseball, why is nobody at that game?

by xrickx on Jul 21, 2008 10:11 PM EDT   0 recs

Not that I really miss him, but I haven’t heard a peep about Elerton since he was placed on the DL. Usually some word tends to leak about, like with Rhodes a few years ago

by millionairesrow on Jul 21, 2008 10:11 PM EDT   0 recs

I didn’t realize until today that he got moved to the 60-day DL with whatever is ailing him when Ginter was called up.

by Fundamentals on Jul 21, 2008 10:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

So I heard something crazy during the Bluejays broadcast tonight…

Were we aware that Ben was leading the league in outfield assists?

Seattle had been hitting Vidro 3rd for quite some time, he’s pretty awful as well

See I hate to lack faith, but my first instinct is that I hope they’re doing his rehab right.

expectd rotation against Twins – Lee, Carmona, Sowers

by palcal on Jul 21, 2008 11:27 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Overall Line:

24 IP, 3 ER, 31 K.

by gte619n on Jul 21, 2008 11:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

how many of those ER given up by Sowers? all three or just two? four?

Dear Mr. Sabean, I hear you have a reputation of being stupid. Want to deal Lincecum or Cain? You can pick THREE of these 4 players for either: Borowski, Dellucci, Blake, Byrd.

complete game shutout no doubt

Haha nice job Byrdo. Man if he shows any ability here tonight, we better trade him.

by supermarioelia on Jul 21, 2008 10:24 PM EDT   0 recs

I did not see that coming.

So, I recently was surprised to discover that other websites have not caught on to the “z” revolution. (Could have been the Dortmunder).

by bewwolv on Jul 21, 2008 10:26 PM EDT   0 recs

Angels Outfield

Garry Mathews Jr. and Vlad
Tori Hunter and Garret Anderson
Not a bad roster of outfielders providing mediocre results this year,
in my opinion.

by AcmeHardball on Jul 21, 2008 10:26 PM EDT   0 recs

Have you checked out the average salary of those guys lately?

by bewwolv on Jul 21, 2008 10:27 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

they could probably use dellucci, though

Santana is having a Byrd-esque inning

by ahowie on Jul 21, 2008 10:28 PM EDT   0 recs

Indians are first in the league in fielding pct? Did not know that. Not that it means anything.

Sounds like Santana’s due to get rocked.

Dellucci may have something to say about that

by ahowie on Jul 21, 2008 10:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

hire some sort of jinx

by ahowie on Jul 21, 2008 10:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

This might be Dellucci’s best atbat of the season.

That’s how you MANUFACTURE runs, right there baby.

Does Santana still have those crazy home/road splits?

oh Andy that was awful.

If you squint, you can see Ty Cobb at the plate.

by millionairesrow on Jul 21, 2008 10:36 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

ugly all around.

If anyone spoils anything for me you will be permanently off the friend list. It’s non-negotiable.

I just can’t believe the Joker is Michael Caine’s son. How are they gonna wrap that one up? I mean especially when Alfred kills all those people.

I thought it was good, Ledger’s performace was good, but I don’t see it as the legendary performace some people are making it out to be

by millionairesrow on Jul 21, 2008 10:40 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Not legendary, but much better than good.

LGT's resident beer connaisseur.

by LGT Patrick on Jul 21, 2008 10:40 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Agreed. My only note is that that playing a sadistic, serial killer clown is much different than almost other role in the movies. I think it’s one that just lends itself to over the top performaces, and it really makes it difficult to compare with other roles.

by millionairesrow on Jul 21, 2008 10:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I do. I just. Yeah, I think it was a superb acting job. Him being dead means nothing to my evaluation.

Steel Nick

by nickjs21 on Jul 21, 2008 10:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Truthfully, is Ledger better than Nicholson?
I haven’t seen it, so pardon my ignorance if so.

by bewwolv on Jul 21, 2008 10:38 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yes.

Steel Nick

by nickjs21 on Jul 21, 2008 10:38 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Also!

Still yes.

by leaps and bounds, IMO

by bogey021 on Jul 21, 2008 10:38 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

It’s a batshit insane (good) performance.

I forgot the guy was dead until 3/4ths into the movie. I was so wrapped up in the character.

by bewwolv on Jul 21, 2008 10:39 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

The best movie of all time EVAR (as the fanboys at IMDB seem to think)? No.

A damn good movie anyway? Yes.

by vbc3 on Jul 21, 2008 10:39 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Definitely. One of the better movies I’ve seen in the past few years though for sure.

by ahowie on Jul 21, 2008 10:41 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Clearly that title goes to Kazaam, but come on, if we have to hang that caveat before EVERY movie we discuss we’re never gonna get anywhere.
