He’s making me miss Barry’s arm.
At least he always actually threw it the correct general direction.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
So, things haven’t gone so well since I got home about ten minutes ago. Just in time for Rowand’s strike out.
Having turned on the game at that same time
Yeah, it’s your fault!
Don't think, it could only hurt the ballclub.
jesus
at least getting beat by power is one thing… these dinky hits let us know how our opponents feel when we score.
Dodgers fans eat their young.
It looked, to me, like he was going to try to go to second and that f-ed up the whole play.
Neglectful father of David Quinowski
So
Talked to my landlord earlier – who’s a great guy, but our asshat downstairs neighbors were writing him indignant emails because our 2-year old son woke up and fussed a few times last night, which to them translates into us keeping them up all night.
They’ve pretty much been complaining about our “noise” since they moved in several months ago, despite the fact that we’re about as quiet as people with a toddler, a dog, and hardwood floors can possibly be.
So! Ideas for how to torment them so that they wish to death without commiting any felonies or doing anything evict-able?
We’ve spoken, but not for a while. That’s what our landlord is apparently going to have us do, though it’s about the last thing in the world I want to do.
More fun stories: a few months ago, I was putting together a bookshelf at about 4:30 in the afternoon. I had been hammering nails into the back for approximately three minutes when he started screaming, “SHUT THE FUCK UP!” from downstairs. Good times, good times.
keep calling them by the wrong name
george and shelley work just fine.. smile, be nice, offer them some leftover curry, and never correct yourself.

Put your speakers face down on the floor, put on PiL’s second album on repeat, turn it up to eleven, leave for the weekend.
yeah, well, the whole world stinks, francine -- so get used to it!

nah...
You need to start complaining about every little noise you hear from their apartment. Some people don’t realize how noise carries in apartments. Some people are also losing their homes due to the mortgage meltdown and have unrealistic expectations about apartment living.
They flush the toilet or slam a door… tell THEM to “keep it down!”

You’d think he was a Cy Young winner, a great hitter and an olympic quality runner from the way Kruk’s talking about him.
And they call him a homer!
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Yeah
That’s the thing about Kruk. He sings just about everyone’s praises.
Only 857 games until the end of Zito's contract
pretty much anything that did not result in a double play
would have been a successful ab there. Turn the lineup over, etc.
Good job Manny.
They just need to run a rake over it to smooth it out.

Bowker is mastering the ground ball to second routine
yeah, yeah, I know.
“Line Drive %!!!!!!”
The Bowker hate
is reminding me of the Frandsen hate from last year.
Only 857 games until the end of Zito's contract
I think "hate" is too strong
I just think he is a bit overmatched at this point and could use some seasoning at Fresno. I respek that we don’t have the luxury of doing that for him at this point.
Humberto might just be my favorite first name of all time

And by the way
I was just out for a moment – and came back to find Astros on first and second. So the rally earlier wasn’t my fault.
Hey guys
The Astros just broke up a no-hitter last inning!!!!

Several years back, didn’t Berkman go off on how much he hates San Francisco, its weather, and its ballpark?
And the motherfucker is from Waco and plays in this joke of a field. Dumbass.

Sanchez did his job tonight,
and that alleviated any concerns that he was spent for the season. The kid is fine.
But the batting order sucks, and this isn’t a major league offense. There are several players in this lineup who aren’t ready for full time duty at this level, and it shows. It’s great to get guys like Burris, Ochoa, and even Bowker some ABs, but these guys should be spending next year at Fresno. Castillo of course should be gone, and the team needs a whole infield.
Meet my three little friends: Timmy, Dirty, and Cain
