I think this is #1 on the list of Questions What People Ask of Radiohead.
I believe in Carl Pavano.

Tell me this, for all that stuff I read in the Annual about the analysis that goes into the pricing schedule, why the hell would they have 5 straight great promotions over a summer weekend with school winding down against semi-local fan bases (where good crowds are pretty much guaranteed), with no good promotions midweek against the Royals when crowds were bound to be less than great?
by supermarioelia on Jun 11, 2009 10:04 PM EDT reply actions
Because they knew I’d be there for the weekend.

They really need to do something about those birds. That’s so gross.

I wonder what they do in European squares when birds get out of control.
by supermarioelia on Jun 11, 2009 10:08 PM EDT up reply actions
Who’s the center square in the European version? And why are there out of control birds?

So this is 80’s weekend at the Jake, right? That must be why there’s a Flock of Seagulls.
I'm not really into Song of Hiawatha.
I can’t believe Ben struck out on a pitch at his feet. I can’t believe it.

Friggin Wood. We only ask you to pitch like once a week, give us 2 innings.

We’ve been down that road.

I tend to read it as “chlamydia”… I’m not sure what that’s about.
by Logodaedalus on Jun 11, 2009 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions
Chlamydia. K-L-… Just don’t touch each other or you will get chlamydia and die. Okay, everyone take some rubbers.
Mean Girls is an awesome movie.

I didn’t get the reference, which makes this comment so much funnier.

Mission to Marzipan Ben and Jerry’s has me on this huge marzipan kick, which may cause me to be a huge marzipan Julie.
I’m allergic to damn near everything. The big three are tree nuts, bananas, and melons.
I believe in Carl Pavano.
Oh, and I’m also allergic to wheat, but it’s not an anaphylaxis threat at this time. But that is why I said banana nut bread would kill me faster than marzipan.
Bread is a seriously hard habit to break.
I believe in Carl Pavano.
that’s a brutal list. please accept my apologies (although i’m not aware that i had anything to do with it).
is this a gluten thing? like, uh, is that celiac disease?
by DontCallMeJoey on Jun 11, 2009 10:33 PM EDT up reply actions
I tested negative for celiac, but it is the gluten I have the actual allergy to (most allergens are proteins).
Gluten, soy, and peanuts are three things I tested positive for when I had broad spectrum allergy testing done, but I only vaguely react to the gluten at this point. My allergist told me that eventually they would become full blown.
Basically the only environmental allergens I don’t react to are bees and roaches. Go me!
I believe in Carl Pavano.
I’ve been meaning to get to an Auntie Anne’s all week. Crap is more addictive than Adorable Jamey Carroll.
OMG Auntie Anne’s. You just made me want a pretzel and all the malls are closed. :P

Alright, now I think I’m ok with bunting.

When Crowe was up, I wished Crowe would be the pinch-runner.
Now that Victor is on base, I wish Victor could be the pinch-hitter.
This game is so hard.
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Here’s hoping Farnsworth doesn’t make him choose
by Logodaedalus on Jun 11, 2009 10:26 PM EDT up reply actions
According to Gameday, Victor is batting and he’s on first! Way to use the Doppelgänger play!
I believe in Carl Pavano.
Maybe the best reason to let him hit … is that he could easily walk.
NEVER MIND WE WIN WE WIN WE WIN!!!!
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Jay’s been over this so many times now, you’ve got to get to sub-10% bodyfat, it’s just not practical for most people for any number of reasons.

I like that the local fauna are Tribe fans.
by Logodaedalus on Jun 11, 2009 10:28 PM EDT up reply actions
haha, for those who aren’t watching on TV, the gulls had to have affected Crisp. Probably didn’t matter anyway with Coco’s arm.
It hit a bird actually. hahaha

hegan waxing poetic about the beauty of baseball…
by DontCallMeJoey on Jun 11, 2009 10:27 PM EDT reply actions
I think the director was implying that the birds then go on to subsume every other team in the league
From, Ben
That was the funniest moment of the year, hands down. Holy moses.

Chooooooooooooooo Yay
One day I'll get over to watch the Tribe play
by new zealand tribe fan on Jun 11, 2009 10:27 PM EDT reply actions
NICE!!!
No thanks to MLB.tv for losing Hammy and being way behind.
Choo just up now
Len Barker perfect game attendee
He looked to be painting the corners for the first three innings…

That was too perfect, I complain about these birds for the better part of the last two hours, and then that happens.

i think this is the first time i’ve ever heard jhonny speak. not that that means anything.

You never heard his brilliant voice acting in the lasik commercials?
Nearly as good as Jim “Ow, my eyes” Thome.
JD Drew did lasik commercials when he was in St. Louis. Apparently his wife had lasik.

See, the unimaginative advertisement is J.D. Drew doing the ad.
The better ad is his wife, and it starts with, “Hi, I wake up every morning next to J.D. Drew, and…”

And really, I guess that’s the rationale for making no real attempts to remove the birds. Our outfielders are used to them. It’s like our own personal animated green monster.

Worst game I’ve seen Choo in becomes one of the best with one swing of the bat.

If that’s the case, is it anyone else’s birthday tomorrow? I could get used to seeing many more walkoffs.

That’s how they solve the bird problem. Didn’t someone mention the Choo Bird Cannon earlier? There it was.

I missed much of the middle portion of the game. Why were people so pissed at the birds?

I like them but others were very angry.

I’m more concerned from an attendance perspective if people are being shat upon.

Holy crap, yeah that was crazy in hindsight.

First bugs, and now birds….all we need are cranks to somehow impact a game and we’ll officially be dealing with old-time baseball.

He’s an animal activist and he’s upset with Choo for injuring that bird.
