Anyone seeing this on TV? What’s the radar gun have Cain at? Sounds like he’s working 90-91 today, which is low for him.

That’s a little concerning.

Just saw 94 on TV. Who knows what that means, though.

It seems like recently the stadium gun has had a bit of a Zito bonus added to it, though.

Perhaps he’s just taking some MPH off his fastball, mixing speeds is a pitcher’s friend.

I wonder if he was shaded that way because it’s Roberts first start back from the DL and maybe he (Rowand) was wondering about Roberts’ range right now. We’ll never know.

that was our fault here at my work. my friend in the upstairs office just called me and told me Cain was perfect through 3 2/3 with Zimmerman up.

Mike Ford takes full blame for the jinx on that one.

Mmmm, leftovers for lunch

I tried a new recipe last night – Drunken Spaghetti. Despite the name, there’s no booze involved – it’s a Thai dish, and apparently got its name because it has lots of hot peppers and they’re considered a hangover remedy in Thailand. Also has lots of garlic, basil, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and other goodness. Came out so well I may have to do another recipe fanpost.

you got to put SOME of the blame on Alex Smith. Besides, I don’t want Cain to bring his losing non-gamerish ways to the NIners.

Well, according to the stats, he had 498 going into today, so maybe it’s because he got close. I don’t know. Otherwise somebody’s source is wrong.

The auto refresh can get pretty slow, too. My favorite is the 5 minutes of inactivity followed by a clusterfuck of 45 comments appearing at the same time.

Sometimes threads get really big because no mods are around.

The driver is the number of replies

Once there are too many replies, a new thread is created. Otherwise the site responds very slowly.
