I did start watching The Daily Show early enough that I remember when there was no audience, and you could hear the writers guffawing in the background at their own jokes.

I’m just glad you’re helping to reduce the world supply.

Also, I heard an interview last year about how commercial bananas could very easily become extinct in the Americas. They’re all genetically identical, and thus very susceptible to disease. There’s a type of fungus (or something like that) that’s extremely virulent and kills the type of bananas we eat dead that’s found in other continents. It hasn’t reached the Americas yet, but if even a small amount did, all commercially viable banana trees could be gone within a couple of years.

There are other kinds of bananas that are immune – and apparently some are a lot tastier – but they’re either too fragile to ship or don’t ripen on a schedule that allows for shipping to market.

on non-gameday enabled games (the ones that don’t have a gameday option from the main mlb site), it gives 4 pitches for a walk, 3 for a k, and 1 for a ball in play

by Viliphied on Mar 27, 2009 3:09 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not this game...

This one is showing balls and strikes in the same at bats—even those not ending in walks and strikeouts. I suppose I could go through all the at bats and count each pitch. But that would be kind of weird.

I actually think it is possible for Sanchez to have that low of a pitch count. My guess is that hitters are generally a little bit more hackerish up there in spring games.

I didn’t expect them to get much, but at first glance, he hardly seems like an upgrade from Holm. Maybe he’s a defensive whiz or something?

It seems clear the Giants don’t think much of Holm, though – they hardly used him while he was up last year, tried to replace him with Notgardo, and now replaced him with this guy.

Conspiracy theory?

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.
