OT: USA Today on out-of-control rumors … this quote I found hilarious.

“The thing that bothers me in this day and age is that nobody really cares about being wrong,” says Ken Rosenthal of Foxsports.com, who noted he corrected an error in one of his online reports within an hour of its original post Sunday.

“When I started,” says Rosenthal, who has covered baseball since 1984, “the biggest sin of all was to be wrong. But it just blows my mind that people don’t feel bad about being wrong. Our standards have dropped. And it bothers the hell out of me.”

Actually, it was fortunate that BenFran was out there and not Grady because I’m not sure an OFer playing where BenFran was and wearing the glove on his right hand (like Grady) would have made that catch, whereas an OFer playing with his glove on his left hand (like BenFran) had a shot at that ball.

Without question, that was a great catch – nice going, BenFran!

by jsneides on Jul 28, 2009 12:17 AM EDT reply actions  

if victor got traded, i would be inconsolable for DAYS.

I still believe in Carl Pavano.

Isn’t tomorrow the 28th?

Oh, EST. Nevermind. Happy early birthday

Isn’t it past midnight where you are?

I still believe in Carl Pavano.

by salome on Jul 28, 2009 12:26 AM EDT up reply actions  

It’s after midnight. It is now the 28th.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I totally knew that! Faked you out!

Sorry to hear that.

Dude, you are so fired.

I’ll talk my way out of this. Somehow.

This isn’t one of those screw-ups where you end up with make-up sex.

I just did my math wrong! She is exactly four weeks after my niece. I was only one day off!

So, your niece’s birthday is more important than Sarah’s?

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Shoosh, you. Isn’t Sam going to write a new song or something?

Darn.

Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?

Funny how seeing a 6.75 ERA on the new-pitcher graphic doesn’t even phase me anymore.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

by Jay on Jul 28, 2009 12:23 AM EDT reply actions  

Faze? Is that a word?

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

by Jay on Jul 28, 2009 12:23 AM EDT up reply actions  

I’m pretty sure it’s faze.

by AngG on Jul 28, 2009 12:23 AM EDT up reply actions  

I think you got it right the first time.

Yeah, its phase. Like when something is out of phase, so to be phased is to be jolted or disturbed. If you are not phased, you are steady.

I stand corrected. it is faze.

it is one of the most under appreciated games … and also helps you figure out how retarded you are

QIS, very key word for Scrabblers.

I tried to spell “bleuqis” once…. They wouldn’t let me.

I was just thinking the same thing. There are times when I think this team is actually pretty good, and then someone comes in from the bullpen…

I can’t imagine Veras is any better than Jensen/Rafael/Todd

by JRontherim on Jul 28, 2009 12:23 AM EDT reply actions  

He’s not. I don’t know. I’ve run out of ideas about our bullpen.
