PrintCincinnati Reds at Toronto Blue Jays, Jun 24, 2009 7:07 PM EDT
Today's post title comes from another song by the band Metric ("Combat Baby," one of their best). Maybe this doesn't interest many others on the site, but I picked it because I spent a good part of the afternoon watching the U.S. beat on #1 ranked Spain in the Confederations Cup semi-final! What a game for United States soccer! And there is something oh so sweet about ducking out of work to watch sports, isn't there?
Anyway, back to the Jays, they try to make it 3 straight in tonight's game against the Reds. Scott Richmond pitches for the Jays, while Bronson Arroyo goes for Cincy. Jeremy Accardo (almost called him Jozy, soccer still on the brain!) is questionable for tonight's game with a dehydration/calf cramp that has now morphed into a minor groin pull.
I've gotta run, band rehearsal, but I should be around for the second half of the game. Let's go Jays!
Russ Adams moves from LF to DH but no other changes for the Jays (there's a surprise). Bronson Arroyo pitched against the Jays one year ago tonight, we can only hope that tonight goes as well as that start, the Jays scored 10 run against him in just an inning plus.

it was freaking awesome

Toronto FC are hosting tonight
…. so attendance may wane a bit at tonight’s game
in other news, Jays are contemplating a name change to Toronto BC and Maple Leafs contemplating name change to Toronto HC
The MLS team name that bugs me the most is Real Salt Lake
Who’s the king of Salt Lake, that they get a royal team?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
If multiple teams merged to form one united team then it's fine
DC United makes no sense though.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I agree
though I find it pretty egotistical that ManUre call themselves as such, when there is another giant team with the same city in its name

soccer team names are all about tradition and I think it's great
it’s how you keep your sport from having names like “Predators” “Thrashers” “Raptors” and “Devil Rays”

The best team name in sports was the Ottawa Renegades
before they folded.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
does anyone know the protocol for uniform
grey, white, dark top or powders?
What do you mean?
Like when they can be worn?

Aside from the powders
I’m not sure. Powders they only use on home games on Fridays, but beyond that I’ll have to google.

MLB Rules 1.11(b)
Seems to indicate that whites are for the home team and a different color is for visiting teams.
But I know that I’ve seen and heard teams flip-flopping for this and that reason.

Baseball should get rid of the away jerseys
The only time a team should not wear its own colour uniform is if it is playing an away game against a team that wears a similar colour (such as both teams wear black). Actually, I think this should apply to all sports teams. I’d love to see the Leafs play in their blue all the time (except they’d have to change if they are playing in NY because the Rangers and the Islanders wear blue as well.)
Especially in baseball, where the team on offense can only be specific spots on the field of play
FWIW, I really don’t like the current Jays uniform that much. It strikes me as being wrong that the Blue Jays uniform isn’t very blue.
i found it
http://chriscreamer.com/team.php?id=78
so the dark shirts that they sell, are just for practice it looks like
Someone is trying to compile what each team chooses for jerseys and why/when

Starting pitcher picks, I heard
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Sounds like you're right
http://www.startribune.com/sports/twins/48565727.html?elr=KArksUUUycaEacyU
At least for some clubs. I see other posts and sites saying that it’s the equipment manager or that the starting pitcher policy comes from Dusty Baker’s days with the Cubs.

I know they don’t worry too much about colors because it is pretty clear who is offense and who is defense

the odds of this are unbeleivable
the triple crown are a surer bet
Rod Black is getting hoarse from all these home run calls.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
What. the. hell.
Arroyo is about to go into the fetal position.
This honestly reminds me of some of my MLB 2k8 games…
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
I should qualify that by telling you the lineup I stole
I had Pujols, A-Rod, Hill, Rios, Berkman, custom me, Mauer, Hamilton and a few other sluggers in the lineup…
Sometimes I prefer offense over defense :P
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
Did they barrel roll into the wall on a double into the corner?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Don't think so...
What’s the context? Glitch?
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
2k9 has some really bad glitches
I saw one where if you bunt it foul and it stops, the game thinks its still in play so it will let you keep running the bases, but the fielders’ AI thinks it’s foul so they don’t pick it up. Net effect, foul bunt home run.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Oh, gotcha
2k8 isn’t that bad for glitches and such. Only thing that frustrated me for a long time was my fielders colliding but I finally got mad enough to open the manual and look it up for “call the ball”. Saved me a controller or two.
I did read the reviews about 2k9 and they helped me decide to not purchase it. I’m waiting for 2k10 since I only have an Xbox 360 and PCs available to me.

read on the daily dish
that the whitesox might be looking to part ways with Jermaine Dye… what do you guys think of him in a Jays uniform? I personally would like to see him be a Jay and another guy in the outfield… he’s a having a decent year…he still has power…but doesnt have the wheels he once had.

did they score a run
or was the first out at home plate?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
out at the plate then at first
the next guy with 2 outs men on 2nd and 3rd struck out
no runs scored
And Ortiz hit a three run homer

Sounds horribly familiar...

my area of law has a ton of science in it. I have pored over my share of engineering documents and scientific papers, and probably misrepresented the contents of a few (mostly but not always unintentionally)

Patent law or litigation?
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
environmental crimes and commercial fraud
usually involving military contractors who don’t build their stuff right, hospitals ordering unnecessary medical procedures, or pharma companies marketing drugs for offlabel uses
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
That sounds like an interesting combination
with the government are you acting as the prosecutor or are you involved in civil claims rather than criminal prosectuion
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
I don't do criminal prosecution
my job is to recover their ill-gotten gains for the taxpayers and to get court orders or settlement decrees to get them to stop what they are doing
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

it's generally the same
just more litigation and bigger cases, generally

someone offered to do an analysis on team of your choice and he assumed i wanted mets, so i figured now is as good a time as any to swap that out

yeah was some Disabled List analysis
i think he’s going to run the numbers on all those players on the DL for the jays

that's great
I sent them an email about the jays pitchers, if this was a historic high for games on the DL for starters
yeah shouldn't really say I won

When I worked at a Pizza Hut we had steamed pasta that looked better than that
and baked pasta that also looked better than that.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Also, having steamed pasta meant you could sub alfredo sauce for tomato sauce on a pizza
Although briefly that was an official menu option with a lower quality alfredo sauce.

hard to believe that pizza hut actually has
a “lower quality” alfredo sauce than what they’d normally give you

alfredo sauce
actually does come from Italy, but it was invented there to serve clueless American tourists who didn’t like real Italian food

Really?
I prefer Northern Italy cooking with the olive oil and garlic thrown in everything.

yep really
the best Italian food I’ve had, other than the stuff made by my relatives there, of course, was in the Liguria. Pesto and lots of incredible seafood and homemade pasta.
Should have you over for dinner, haha, we definitely don’t skimp on the garlic. Though I’ve pretty well bastardized (or evolved, if you prefer) about half my family’s old recipies by mixing them with asian cooking techniques and ingredients

I prefer the thin and crispy

Sorry, that's for the pizza
which is also soaked in grease.

I haven’t heard anyone complain about JP’s trade for Rolen recently…

Torgen was on that
before the season began, wasn’t he (on it meaning saying it was a good trade, I mean)?
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
I said it looked better because Glaus went on the DL
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I didn't mean on this site, we've generally been pretty positive
I liked the trade from day 1

I had a beer with Brian Tallet last night after the game at Hoops...
He just walked in, wife and baby in tow…
for reals?
awesome
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
that's all i need to know
can’t really hope for a scott podsednik when he has a baby there
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
it really made a great night even better...
some guy was like “isn’t that brian tallet?”
lol…. TOO AWESOME
Would love to see him keep it up
nice thing about him being older is jays dont feel as forced to ease him in and limit his innings
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
yep... 2003 I think... but he claims he was "always a starter"
I told him to keep it up like this and he’ll get a 3/30 deal in a couple years
lol
Ha, yeah i'd imagine so
glad he got the win yesterday, as well.
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
did you mention the chops?
I bet his wife made him shave them
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
lol, no, but we talked about cy, oddly enough
he said he agrees that cito is real tough on the bullpen, and that’s why cy is hurting….
but he claims the opposite is true with the starters…
That's a nice candid comment from him.
Kinda cool. Wish I lived in a city with famous people…
Though Jerome Iginla gave me a wave last summer after I chatted with him the day before in a park (by accident – didn’t realise it was him until 2 minutes into the conversation).

he will score a lot of runs

nice low drama wins
Also nice to rest the bullpen. I thought we might see Ryan for the 9th.
yep, usually i would like to see him get some work
but i would like to see him get a break too …lets get the whole pen rested and up and running again
Looked good to me.
