Well, the ultimate goal wasn't a hit

that rarely happens though because the hitter shows bunt early to get it down, which gives away the element of surprise even if the corners aren’t playing in b/c its a sac bunt situation

if there is a stronger correlation between injuries in relievers and number of appearance or number of innings. Seems to me that the act of warming up must have an effect on the arm as well, so I wonder how that affects pitcher.

Dropped the hammer on him
Which totally reminds me of Captain Hammer from Dr. Horrible.

too bad they cancelled it without giving it a chance.

Scoot closest, but I only really give it to someone on the verge
if there’s someone right on the other side too.

Silva is much worse than Morrow
It’s like saying Towers should win because McGowan had a good game.

actually Silva isn't pitching tonight
he has a sore back, or something

On the one hand, Josh Towers would be an obvious choice
On the other hand, he was actually good one year.

If we need it to be someone who sucked and still got the win
it could be the Chacin Award.

I got in '90 or '91, got out with the strike, and got back in mid-'05
so I have no clue.

Completely off topic here
The body of my old watch broke where the metal strap attaches, so I don’t think just getting a new strap would let me fix it. So I got a new Timex from Target. Pretty good deal, $20 for a nice all-metal one, but I’m kinda confused by it. It’s both analog and digital. The analog part isn’t synchronized with the digital part. It has Indiglo, but the hands are also glow in the dark. For some reason you can turn off the digital display—why would you bother providing that feature?

And the hour hand is behind the minute hand
Isn’t it usually the other way around, so you can see them both when they’re lined up?

Especially because it makes it hard to see the glow in the dark

It has a crown for setting the analog part
I don’t know if I’m supposed to wind it.

wouldn't think so....must have a battery already for the digital part
by Tom Dakers on Sep 7, 2008 4:20 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's what I figure
also it’s hard to turn the crown when it’s pushed in because of the shape of the watch.

Crap... Forgot the game was early today.
Homework and the Bucs game (hey, it’s still football) distracted me.

Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.
