We’re not going to do much with a tam that can’t score more than 4 runs and two #5 starters. In fact, the only starters we have at the moment I feel confident with are Bills and Kurveshaw.

Don’t give up on WC. Baseball stuff still gets posted there. It’s just like here, after a while it’s all been said. It all gets saikd a little quicker over there, that’s all. We post political/religious stuff there like jokes are posted here. There isn’t any more animosity between posters over there than there is here. I justed posted a zinger than most should find funny which shows the fundamentalist Duck the problems with taking violent verse from any Holy Book literally. It will be interesting to see how he responds because needing to interprete scripture can’t be shut down by quoting scripture which itself needs interpretation–but he’ll find a way. He always does. It’s actually kind of fun if nobody’s life is riding on the outcome.

Did you see McDonald’s father sitting behind home plate staring the poor kid down after each pitch? Man, if I was McDonald I’d have unraveled too. His dad should have watched from the clubhouse monitor.

Have we signed Pedro yet?

I know its still early in the season but man that was pathetic last night. I fought myself to keep watching, until Mota’s meltdown happened that is. I mean the season is a marathon, not a sprint. But when you look at it from the point of view that every game counts and it could come down to one game, then that is what gets you upset about games like this and the one day before yesterday.

I was so wrong about McDonald yestrerday. He looked great, no hitter going and then just totally unraveled and lost all control. It was just nerves and pressure I think. I mean he couldn’t even get a fastball over the plate! But I had never seen the kid let the pressure get to him. I think that the pressure of earning and wanting to keep the 5th spot and knowing that the bullpen had been worked hard and that they needed him to pitch deep got to him.

He has fantastic stuff and still didn’t look like he let it get to him too much after last night. Those are good signs, just have to get the head straight now.

A man walks into a bar with a dog. The bartender says, “You can’t bring that dog in here.”

“You don’t understand,” says the man. “This is no regular dog, he can talk.”

“Listen, pal,” says the bartender. “If that dog can talk, I’ll give you a hundred bucks.”

The man puts the dog on a stool, and asks him, “What’s on top of a house?”

“Roof!”

“Right. And what’s on the outside of a tree?”

“Bark!”

“And who’s the greatest baseball player of all time?”

“Ruth!”

“I guess you’ve heard enough,” says the man. “I’ll take the hundred in twenties.”

The bartender is furious. “Listen, pal,” he says, “get out of here before I belt you.”

As soon as they’re on the street, the dog turns to the man and says, “Do you think I should have said ‘DiMaggio’?”
