that sounded like one of those action songs from dragon ball z or something… some mangled english set to seizure-inducing displays… but i echo your sentiment

the quality has really gone downhill since i first saw it… but it’s still pretty awesome

Wedge compared Carroll to Casey Blake, in terms of clubhouse presence and the willingness to take up any position at any time.
Per Castro. Yea, that’s about right.
okay, right after I posted this, I went to the kitchen to check and the potatoes were done. Clearly, they were then un-fired.
Sweet potatoes are amazing in a mashed format. With a little butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. It’s more of a dessert. But that’s why they’re sweet.
Well, glad you’re clean.

Seattle is one sad offensive unit. And that’s with excellent years from Ichiro, Gutierrez, and Branyan.
That’s so Andy can get rips with a guy on base.

When I heard the lineup on the radio, I said, “Wedge still has to make sure Andy knows he’s unloved and unworthy.”
Oh sure. But this is drunk logic. Also, time-traveling potatoes.--AngG
WEDGE: If you’re suggesting I play favorites, you’re wrong. I love all of my players equally.
earlier that dayWEDGE: I don’t care for Andy.

Hello. I don’t know when you arrived, but it took me quite a while to get past the crying/eating link.
Jason Knapp gets screwed by his team in the 1st
E: Cid (5, missed catch), Thompson, M (19, missed catch).
BUT… IN THE YEAR TWO THOUSSSAAAAAAANDDDD… Mike Sweeney will be one of the best hitters in the major leagues…
IN THE YEAR TWO THOUSSSSAAAAANNNDDDD

Huff is just brutal to watch. I imagine this is partly Torregas taking signs from the dugout… but man, soft tossing lefties, take a page out of Buehrle’s book and just work quickly for a change.
Huff is brutal to watch because he is not throwing strikes. This has nothing to do with the fact that he is a soft tossing lefty. Any pitcher who does not throw strikes is brutal to watch.

What would prompt a Browns fan to get a Ken Dorsey jersey?

Seriously. The kid who was displaced by Josh Wilson’s homer was wearing a Dorsey jersey in Browns colors.

how come wedge put ohka? do we really have no pitcheers available other than this OHKA guy? make me puke this ohka guy. Frankly, i dun even know why we still keep this guy in the active roster.
THIS is why we need sowers as a long reliever… compared to ohka he’s a stud… at the very least he can get through the lineup one time
by gorilla_baller on Aug 21, 2009 8:26 PM EDT up reply actions
Next year we’ll have Sowers to come out of the pen in long relief. Until then we have Ohka. Would you rather we bring up Zach Jackson? Ken Ray? Kirk Saarloos?

no offense but when is the last time we use kerry wood? Given the circumstance of this match, i would have rather put him on the mound if i were the skipper. he got paid 10 mil and not intend to use him?
this is completely wedge’s failure.
by big2 on Aug 21, 2009 8:31 PM EDT up reply actions 1 recs
we get your point.
but it’d have been jess todd or jensen lewis for an inning or two, each. no need to use wood there.
it is very appreciated by you saying that.
i’m just saying if already doomed, why not put him on the mound?
u know at least they could have provided entertainment to the fans those who are in the stadium right now, also for those who are watching now.
Wedge probably has many failures. Failing to use Kerry Wood in the 4th inning of a blowout when we are 12 games out of 1st place….that’s not one of them.

if you’re right handed and throw less than 90 mph and considering a career in the major leagues you better have some serious deception, otherwise you need to find a new profession
telekinesis falls under the category of deception… you are allowed to entertain thoughts of occupying a spot on a major league roster

I was debating on whether to see Inglourious Basterds or this game. I chose… poorly.

I need to find a movie-going buddy so that I won’t feel so left out of movie discussions.
Oh sure. But this is drunk logic. Also, time-traveling potatoes.--AngG
i went to see one of the x-men movies alone and my friends never let me live it down… i’ll go with a stranger before i go alone again

What’s the big deal? You sit in a dark room, watch 15 minutes of previews and 90 to 120 minutes of movie. Do you really need somebody beside you to watch a movie?

by woodsmeister on Aug 21, 2009 9:05 PM EDT up reply actions
It’s nice to have someone there with you to discuss the movie with afterward, but during the movie it’s not necessary. I’m comfortable enough with myself to not need someone with me as my moviegoing beard, or whatever the term would be in this instance.
Don't hassle me, I'm local.
i picture wearing another person as a beard… doesn’t seem pleasant at all
by gorilla_baller on Aug 21, 2009 9:09 PM EDT up reply actions
as you can see, i had no problem going alone until i was told it’s a faux pas… amongst friends, 90% of our dialogue comes in the form of movie quotes… so if one of us were to see a movie alone, then the quoting wouldn’t be universally recognized… you can’t quote solo
but in practice, i don’t see why it shouldn’t be allowed
by gorilla_baller on Aug 21, 2009 9:08 PM EDT up reply actions
So, if one of you sees a movie alone in a theatre, no one else will ever see it? My friends and I use movie quotes a lot, too, and I don’t think we have seen many of these films together.
Don't hassle me, I'm local.
that’s true, but there are quotes that are considered “essential”… these “essential quotes” are movies we saw together… mostly biodome, now that i think about it
by gorilla_baller on Aug 21, 2009 9:15 PM EDT up reply actions
Self pity alert: I kinda end up doing everything else alone. I don’t think I could stand adding movies to the list.
Oh sure. But this is drunk logic. Also, time-traveling potatoes.--AngG
I’ve never understood taking a date to a movie.
Do you really get to know them that well? Why not just dinner?
Why date at all? Just bang ‘em over the head, drag ’em back to the Luv Cave, throw ’em up on the Work Bench, stress test ’em, tag ’em, tell ’em you’ll call ‘em in the morning and turn ’em loose. That’s what we usta do back in the olden days.

I am very upset with all the changes they’ve made. I liked it in the old days because it was so unlike My Space but now it’s getting closer and closer.
