NRIs and other fascinating things

PrintEvery year, a random player sneaks onto the Opening Day roster. It’s usually a non-roster invitee who had a good spring when the right player got injured, though sometimes it’s an organizational soldier. Let’s call this the Al Levine Memorial Award for the reliever who inexplicably made the 2005 Giants. Past winners:
2010: Guillermo Mota
2009: Andres Torres
2008: Brian Bocock!
2007: Barry Zito
2006: Jeff Fassero
2005: Al Levine
2004: Leo Estrella
2003: Joe Nathan
2002: Damon Minor
2001: Benito Santiago
2000: Felipe Crespo
Alright, so 2007 ruined my thesis. Change it to almost every year, a random player sneaks onto the Opening Day roster. Two months prior to Opening Day, even the player in question thought he’d be riding a bus from game to game, or sitting by the phone, waiting for someone to remember his All-Star apperance two years ago.
Santiago was a NRI who was signed in March, and he was competing against a catcher who had a 113 OPS+ the year before (Bobby Estalella), and a sound defensive catcher who wasn’t completely embarrassing with the bat (Doug Mirabelli). Somehow Santiago won a spot. Even more surprising is that he Clearly did just fine.
Nathan was a AAA disaster for two years following shoulder surgery. Obviously he made the roster on his way to being a fringe Hall-of-Fame candidate.
We all saw Torres leading off for a World Series champion one day. It was so obvious from the moment the news wasn’t announced anywhere, so maybe it’s disingenuous to list that one.
This year’s crop of NRIs and minor league free agents isn’t that interesting, but one of them will sneak on the roster when something totally unexpected and crazy happens, like Mark DeRosa’s wrist starts to hurt. Usually a reliever is the best bet for the Al Levine Memorial award, and with this year’s almost-set-in-stone roster, it will probably be a reliever again. Still, there’s glory to be found for the brave soul who guesses someone not even in the organization, like Orlando Cabrera.
A partial list of NRIs:
Casey Daigle, Waldis Joaquin, Shane Loux, Guillermo Mota, Felix Romero, Jason Stoffel, Marc Kroon, and Yes That Ryan Vogelsong; left-handed pitchers Wilmin Rodriguez, Ryan Verdugo and Matt Yourkin; catchers Tommy Joseph, Hector Sanchez, Chris Stewart and Jackson Williams; infielders Brandon Belt, Brandon Crawford, Charles Culberson, Brad Eldred and Nick Noonan; and outfielders Gary Brown, Terry Evans and Juan Perez.
My guess is Marc Kroon, which is kind of the obvious pick, though I could also see...no, I can’t really see any of those guys making the roster. But that’s the point. Someone odd will make the roster, whether he’s on that list or not. Heck, I’ll give back my Kroon pick and go with Bengie Molina. He’s still a free agent, right?
So go on. Give a guess. I don’t even know who Terry Evans is, but he has a shot. I think he plays bass.

Before the discussion drifts to food or cinema . . .
let me just mention Randy Elliot. (I’m working from memory here.)
He hit, like, 29 home runs in spring training, with a .412 BA. No walks, of course, but why would any pitcher work you? You’re nobody, and they aren’t neither. So they throw fastballs, and you hit them out.
I think we’re in the mid-seventies here, but again, I’m working on memory, and I could be wrong about most of this. It’s more important that I drink whiskey and watch the Animal Channel than research the facts here. Oh, yeah? Well, fuck you too.

Mr. Elliot?
I remember him well. A lad from the north of England. Coal miner’s son. Grew up to be a ballet dancer or some such.
Don’t watch Animal Channel, but do enjoy the whiskey.
Sober and without TV . . .
I’ve done some “research.” Well, I opened a (one) book.
Randy (not Randall) Lee Elliot came to ST in 1977 with no contract after spending three years in the minors. Two previous ML cups of coffee in San Diego (‘72 and ’74) resulted in 80 AB’s and 17 hits. Tore things up in ST (see above) and started in left early in the season. Hit some early HR’s, but struck out plenty (24 times in 160 AB’s, actually not that bad for 7 HR’s.)
But Gary Thomasson and Terry Whitfield seemed like better prospects, and he didn’t play beyond that year for the sub-.500 Giants. But definitely one of those NRI’s referred to in the opening prompt, which I, Gallo del Cielo, am addressing!!!

Crawford was my first thought, too.
We are thin at SS.
He can field.
It would sort of fit in with the Bocock-Burriss theme of a light (no)-hitting, decent fielding Shortstop being brought up before he was ready out of necessity.
Bocock- Burriss- Brandon. Not as good as if his last name started with a B, but hey, it’s something.
My pick is Jackson Williams

Actually, FWIW, I’d do the same thing with Russell Branyan, who actually played a pretty average LF (by UZR) as recently as 2007. Sure, they’re both guys with injury history. But high rewards in terms of OBP for Johnson or SLG for Branyan.

by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jan 28, 2011 4:08 PM PST up reply actions
And “healthy and productive” remains a very large question mark for those two.
fWAR, 2007-2010:
Branyan: 6.7
Johnson: 3.5
Ross: 9.7
Games played (+season average), 2007-2010:
Branyan: 364 (91)
Johnson: 195 (49)
Ross: 515 (129)
Estimated fWAR 2007-2010 if 150 games/season (fWAR/games x 600):
Branyan: 11.0
Johnson: 10.8
Ross: 11.3
Johnson probably has the highest WAR potential of the four, but I’ll still take Ross.
Et tu, Ribe?
You have no idea how many games you’re going to get out of Branyan or Johnson until you try, and doing so means giving them a roster spot and plugging them at already crowded positions. If they play a full season, there’s a good chance that they would outproduce Ross, but given that the last time either of them had a 3+ WAR season was Johnson in 2006 (5.4), the odds of you getting more bang for your buck isn’t really worth it when you consider that it means paying Ross $6.7 million to play off the bench and waiving Ishikawa or Schierholtz.
Et tu, Ribe?

One should join Facebook just for this
If you played the game “The Oregon Trail” as a kid, you probably suffered that cruel fate more than once. Either that or your oxen starved to death. Or you broke a wagon wheel and died. Or you were bit by a poisonous snake (and, of course, died). The game was full of calamities, but it was also educational.
“Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego” is another game that was hugely popular at schools in the 1980s. Now, both games are making comebacks with updated versions that will be playable on Facebook.
Blue Fang Games will release both games in early February. The Oregon Trail hits on February 2. Carmen Sandiego, a game where the player attempts to track a thief who travels all over the world, lands a week later, on February 9. Fans may remember Carmen Sandiego’s popular PBS TV show (the theme song is still infectious).

I remember that moment clearly
I’d was on my way back to my hotel after a Tenacious D concert, and a pizza place on my way was showing it on TV. I ran in there just as Howard was stepping up to the plate. I was in Anaheim at the time, so I was the only one watching the game. I was pacing back and forth, eyes focused on the TV, as the restaurant staff was giving me funny looks. My heart sank as the count grew full, I was sure, SURE that either Wilson would walk Howard, or Howard would knock it out of the park. My head went down for a moment as the pitch crossed the plate – looks low, I thought. Then half a second later the ump called strike 3, and I did my best Buster Posey impression as I threw my hat off my head and ran, jumping up and down, screaming jubilantly, into the parking lot. I got a lot of odd looks that night.

Because of my summer job, I was unable to watch almost any games for about 11 weeks. I wound up watching three games at a Bully’s sports bar in Reno in the middle the afternoon on various days off. Everyone was looking at me crazy, but I couldn’t have cared less. Those 3 games:
6/16: Lincecum Ks 10 Orioles, Huff and Uribe go back-to-back. (Video)
7/31: Burrell’s game-winning shot off Broxton at AT&T. (Video)
8/14: The Giants outlast Latos in 11 innings. (Video)
It was a good summer.

Huff’s home run went right over our heads. Awesome game.

He’s done more than I’d expected or even hoped for.

The thong is, it happened.
I’m still worried that people are putting way to much weight behind this fitness thing with Pablo. I think it’s wonderful for him personally, but I’m very skeptical about what positive effect it might have on the field. I’m very worried that expectations for him are going to be unreasonable again, and he’ll get viciously scapegoated – again – when he’s not hitting .300 “even though he took off all that weight.”

I think it’s wonderful for him personally, but I’m very skeptical about what positive effect it might have on the field.
I should note my skepticism on that count is short-term. Obviously, if he manages to stay in the league for a few more years, being in shape will only help keep him there over time.

I don't know about everyone else...
But the weight loss thing, to me, has less to do with Pablo physically losing weight and more to do with it being an indication that he cares, is thinking about baseball, and has his head in the game. Obviously, being in shape is good too, but I’m not thinking anything along the lines of “.005 to his BA for every pound!”
"Today, it's as if McCovey's line drive finally went through. And the earthquake didn't happen. And Spiezio struck out. And Snow was safe."
And while I think many people here may agree with you, I’m pretty sure the typical Giants fan thinks the reason he didn’t hit .330 last year was because he put on weight, and now that he’s taken some of it off the only acceptable result is going to be hitting .300+. Scapegoatsville isn’t far beyond that.

The typical Giants fan is probably also convinced Cody will hit .294/.390/.686 all season and has no idea that Pat Burrell signed a $1mil contract. Sadly, there’s not much we can do about it. Hopefully, people will use their brains and actually think it through. We’ll see.
"Today, it's as if McCovey's line drive finally went through. And the earthquake didn't happen. And Spiezio struck out. And Snow was safe."
I’m not a fan of referring to “the typical/average/standard [whoever]”, but if you’re talking about the casual fan, does it really matter what misconceptions they have? Apart from Pandoval48 having to field some annoying tweets, that is.

I’m more concerned about the speed and defense. That said, I still think he’ll be able to get around on inside fastballs better as a result of the lost weight. Also, if it helps his confidence, all for the good. Confidence is huge in baseball.

Let me put it this way. Being in shape will probably not make him a better hitter. But being out of shape could very possibly make him a bad hitter.
I am also very concerned about his defense, which is more likely to be impacted by his conditioning than not.
Et tu, Ribe?
…but wouldn’t you be LESS concerned about that now that he’s obviously in much better shape?

I don’t disagree with either point from my own standpoint, but American English sadly does and has been for a while.
Although listing “figuratively” as a definition for “literally” doesn’t bother me as much. It’s been used that way long enough that it might as well be recognized.

Using a word that is generally meant to be a reminder that “I swear to God I am not speaking figuratively here” to mean “figuratively” is something that continues to merit correction. Especially since it’s derived from “literal”, which we would never use to mean “figurative”. But now the conversation is getting away from me.
Look out. I'm having a thought.
And I don’t disagree with you about how much sense it literally makes. But American English does, and has for a while.
I mean, hell, even the OED lists “irregardless” as a word, and that makes as little sense and merits just as much correction. But the breadth and length of its usage also merits recognition.

And to M-W’s credit, they don’t just throw the definition up there without any context. They put the whole argument right up there on the page:
2: in effect : virtually.
Usage Discussion of LITERALLY
Since some people take sense 2 to be the opposite of sense 1, it has been frequently criticized as a misuse. Instead, the use is pure hyperbole intended to gain emphasis, but it often appears in contexts where no additional emphasis is necessary.

McC: Don't get it? Try the McWiki wiki.
The M-W people don’t consider that their business. When you dive into usage, you dive into the cesspool of culture with all its blessed fecundity.
The People’s usage always stays several strides ahead of the lexicographers. No panel of experts dictates conversational usage, nor should one. Occasional books come out that try to make judgments regarding “elevated” as opposed to “casual” usages.
In 1926, Oxford don H. W. Fowler first published his collection, based on his class lectures. Even in the 2nd edition (1965) many of his rulings are today archaic, especially in America. Fowler is quite a fun read, though. He can expound for a bounteous paragraph on the difference between “foam” and “froth.” He takes a full page to describe “hackneyed phrases,” as he should.
The best recent attempt is Bryan Garner’s A Dictionary of Modern American Usage. (1998) Garner is a lawyer, which qualifies him well for lexicography. He’ll need to update his fine work soon or risk being just a ghost in the dark wood. I think he’s working on it. Next decade, someone else will produce another.

Here’s what OED has to say on the matter:
1. (With capital initial.) A disciple or follower of Epicurus.
2. One who gives himself up to sensual pleasure, esp. to eating; a glutton, sybarite.
3. (The current sense.) One who cultivates a refined taste for the pleasures of the table; one who is choice and dainty in eating and drinking.

It’s such a pain in the elbow to haul out our OED and find the little magnifying glass and pore over that tiny print. But it’s still the dictionary Bible as far as I’m concerned. And infer and imply never have meant the same thing and that goes double for literally and figuratively.

There are more things on this team they need help on that passing… A) Low post player, B) True point guard, C) A COACH

They gave away like 6 free turnovers on stupid flashy passes that went A) directly to an opponent, B) off-line on an easy tip, or C) rolled harmlessly out of bounds. If they made half an effort at taking care of the ball, they wouldn’t be in overtime right now.
Et tu, Ribe?
Hence! Why i said they need a “B) TRUE POINT GUARD” got to get used to this type of basketball from the Golden State Warriors, this is the way they play, careless, don’t rebound, too many second chance points, stupid fouls, they just need to trade Monta, Steph, or somebody, break it up and better your team

The problem remains that if you ditch either or Monta or Steph, they automatically become one of the five worst teams in the league almost regardless of who they get back.
Et tu, Ribe?
Who cares, this team is already not going anywhere anyway. Someone’s getting traded soon, you got to do what’s best for the future of this team. And if that means trading one of the core players, do it. This team hasn’t changed in years, same shit every year

I don’t see how trading them makes them better in the short term or the long term. It’s not like baseball where you can trade for prospects. You can trade for draft picks and get more undisciplined players, or you can get cents on the dollar in exchange for a high talent player. Maybe you get some depth, but the team doesn’t get much better that way.
If they actually played vaguely disciplined ball, they’d be over .500 right now.
Et tu, Ribe?
Basically, you keep this team as is right now, you get the same thing for the rest of the season, NO defense from either Steph or Monta, although Steph plays slightly better D.
The only trade they’ll most likely make this season would be for expiring contracts, like Vlad, Gadz, and get someone like Calderon. Plus? They are restricted from trading a draft pick because they’ve traded their pick the last few years. Don’t have a first pick next year, it’s protected basically w/ New Jersey because of Marcus Williams.
“If they actually played vaguely disciplined ball, they’d be over .500 right now” yea… IF they played vaguely disciplined ball they would… but they need a coach and a DEFENSE to get them there

They’ve shown flashes of competent defense at times; but yeah, until somebody can kick their ass into playing it consistently, and put them through a middle school egg baby project to teach them about taking care of the ball, they’re fucked.

Hence, something needs to happen… shouldn’t have hired Smart in the first place, puts him in a bad position, obviously to fail. This team needs a low post player, straight up stud on the post

Well, technically because the second syllable is emphasized, the first syllable, and therefore the vowel sound, becomes medial.
I sometimes pronounce it with a short-i, but it moves between that and a schwa, just as a product of its placement.

You know what confuses me? When you type in a baseball player’s name, auto complete immediately steers you to “girlfriend.” Are that many people looking for pictures of Russell Branyan’s girlfriend? And why?

I've mentioned this before, but back in the 90s there was the ultimate example of a random player making the opening day roster...
1996: Mel Hall, who hadn’t played in the Majors since 1992 and physically couldn’t play defense
Making calculations based upon statiscal histori-garbage rather than situation reality since 1980
Adopted Giant: Kaohi Downing, your next dominant reliever 1.47 ERA in S-K, with 34 K in 42 IP. Uh, just ignore his age and the walks, please!
he stuck around for several weeks, too
After doing nothing but pinch-hitting and being terrible at it. His final line:
.120 / .148 / .120. -26 OPS+. 27 PA in 25 games.
Double-checking, he did play 14 innings in the outfield (badly), so it’s an exaggeration to say he was physically unable to play the field, I guess. Still, he was extremely broken down and made the team pretty much as a 100% pinch hitter.

Kansas’ admission was a major point of contention in the days before the Civil War. Fighting broke out among abolition/anti-abolition factions to determine if Kansas would be admitted as a slave state or a free state. The abolitionists won, but only after a whole buncha people died.

I have a real soft spot for that one. It’s a train wreck as a movie, but at the exact point in Cage’s career where he had started to become a parody of himself, he delivered this, the most over-the-top Cage parody ever. Just beautiful. True, watching it is a little like rubbernecking at the aforementioned crash site, but how can you resist?

Admittedly, I’ve never tried to use it in a romantic relationship…but I HATE video chatting. I’d much rather just talk to someone on the phone. Couldn’t give a very valid reason for it probably…its just well, awkward.

The awkward thing I’ve found about Skype is that you’re not actually looking at anyone face-to-face. If you look straight into the webcam, it will appear to the other person as if you’re looking right at them — except that you’re looking at the cam, not the image on the screen of the person you’re talking to. Similarly, if you actually look at the screen to see who you’re talking to, it will appear to the other person that you’re not looking right at them.
When I talk on skype I just look straight at the webcam and resign myself to not actually looking at the screen. So, ironically, you’re conducting a video call without actually looking having the benefit of seeing who you’re talking to. Strategic placement of the webcam could help a little.

Laptops with built-in webcams build them at center above the display. You’re looking, typically, at the middle of the screen, while from the perspective of the cam (and hence the person on the other end of the call) you’re looking downward instead of right at the lens.

Not for nothing, but this is how television interviews work. When Brian Williams is in New York and Richard Engel is in Cairo, they’re both looking at television cameras, unable to see the person to whom they’re speaking. There are monitors nearby, but they can’t look at them, because then they’d be talking to a TV set and not “each other,” from the viewer’s perspective.

But there it makes sense, because the telecast is being produced for the benefit of a third party — the viewers. There’s no third party in a skype or other video call.

You cannot deduct the cost of a wristwatch, even if there is a job requirement that you know the correct time to properly perform your duties.

If you can on Schedule C, you risk the wrath of the Feds.
The quote above (^) is directly from the tax code.
The quote below (v) is from the plea discussion in Tax Court.
“How otherwise could I have known when to begin heating the water? My watch could, that’s how. Everyone expected the coffee to be ready at ten. I got there at nine and I did it. I did it because my watch told me to.”
“Mr. Lewis, did you work for your watch or did you work for the crime family known as The McCoven, headed by Grantia Clementina?”
“I know the guy. We met. But I worked with my wristwatch, not with him. I mean, I wouldn’t qualify as no exemption for him, but my watch would for me, if you follow. Look, you’ve got me on the Schedule C stuff. Yeah, the receipts were bogus, but I’m not in on the Clementia racket. You’re confusing me with the Verona mob. They overestimated their quarterlies. Not me. I don’t do that stuff.”
“Mr. Lewis, we could send you downtown right now. If you don’t welsh on your kings, we’ll lower the boom. Your watch is ours.”
“How did it wind up like this? Can I take the 5th? Can I have my back watch?”
“That’s what they all ask. No. Take the 3rd. Game starts at 5:40, but you won’t be there. You’ll be in Folsom by then, doing hard time.”

It is always safest to do as the IRS tells you, but you can also check the tax code itself.
There shall be allowed as a deduction all the ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business, including—The word ‘wristwatch’ does not, needless to say, appear in the tax code. The IRS just doesn’t want to allow it, hence that sentence from Pub 529.
My father went to tax court on a home office deduction once upon a time in a very similar situation. The tax code pretty nakedly said one thing. The IRS said something a little more restrictive, and disallowed his deduction. He went to court, and won. Sometimes the IRS loses, especially when it is stretching the tax code for its own convenience. Me, I hardly want to test that one with a Rolex, but I would feel completely comfortable buying a cheap Casio and deducting it as a business expense.
I think it depends on whether you placed the wristwatch into service as a depreciable asset when you bought it, and on whether you could prove its value regarding the profits of your business.

I think it gets depreciated on whatever your standard schedule is for office supplies.
I have never heard of the IRS questioning a deduction for office supplies. Do they?
Can Red Vines and Mountain Dew be considered office supplies?
I USED TO NOT BELIEVE YOU
I tweet (more often than I blarg).
Yes. You are allowed to provide your employees free food (see, for example, Google).
What I do not know is whether you have to put a noncash entry into their W2s as a result.
I’m a one-woman shop. Can I deduct my own Red Vines and Mountain Dew from my Schedule C?
I USED TO NOT BELIEVE YOU
I tweet (more often than I blarg).
wcw correctly wonders whether the IRS ever questions items entered as “office supplies.” The answer is no. If you buy them regularly, Vines and Dew could easily be justified, but only to the extent that the square footage of your dwelling is dedicated to your “shop,” similar to how the home utilities can be allocated, unless, of course, the Vines and Dews are exclusive to your work.

There is a reason for that: the self-employed underreport. A recent NBER paper found that
the self employed underreport their income by about 30 percent. This result is remarkably robust across data sources and alternative model specifications. Aside from transportation expenditures, we find little evidence that the self employed misreport their expenditures to household surveys.If the IRS is smart, though, they’ll focus on your income, not your candy and soda consumption.
Three bottles out of every six pack can be claimed “work related.”
Grant claims 600 mls of every liter of Makers Mark (I know this), as well as every minute after 10 pm that he dedicates to McC.

peter davidson is a lot like eccleston
in that he only did 2 seasons and left you really wanting for more. The series really went downhill after that though. It was colin baker’s fault either, just poor writing. You should try out the basics. Genesis of the Daleks is usually the first classic series epi I tell people to watch. Its a creation story for the daleks and is davros’s first story. Plus its tom baker at his sarah jane best

Mmmm…the problem with Doctor Who, is that it can be very, very silly. The first four episodes of Series 1 are rather…meh. And the slitheen? Ugh. That’s what turns a lot of people off, at least in my experience. My mom, for one, has entirely given up on it, and thinks I’m crazy.
There are many less silly episodes that you’d probably like, but its hard to become invested in a show if you only watch half of it. And its even harder to get to know the characters.
"Today, it's as if McCovey's line drive finally went through. And the earthquake didn't happen. And Spiezio struck out. And Snow was safe."
You should check out the most recent Christmas special. It’s fantastic.

Christmas Carol (did they actually call it that?) was good, but Tennants last one is my favorite of the new series so far.

Well, it runs counter to a lot of coaching for developing pitchers. They want big guys, and they want those guys to put on weight, frequently, to get more behind their fastball. What is special about Lincecum’s motion is the economy of movement; that is, how much he gets out of his undersized frame.
I don’t think that most of the bigger pitchers could be flexible enough or strong enough to repeat it. It’s just easier and safer to try and develop a Sabathia then a Lincecum.

Its a hard thing to do, and while I generally agree with you, sometimes it works out. One of my best friend’s sisters got pregnant her first quarter of college. Her and her boyfriend (same age) kept the baby, got married, she came back from Central WA and went into to nursing school, he’s working and going to school…so far at least, everything is okay. And the little one is adorable.
Their parents are helping out of course, so that’s a big factor.

Dependents increase your exemptions. If your income isn’t too high, there are some tax credits as well.
i doubt i qualify for tax credits
i make $87k/yr, she’ll be in school for the next 2 years so maybe i can write off tuition, etc? then again we’re not getting married for awhile, so I probably can’t write off anything that pertains to her. but the kid will probably be a big exemption. strollers, food, dr visits, etc

Each additional dependent adds to your exemptions, each currently worth $3,650. Beyond the tax credit, where I think as an unmarried filer you would be limited out, there is a dependent-care credit. It’s pretty weak, though. If your employer offers a dependent-care FSA, that’s usually better. The rest does not offer any tax benefits of which I know. Kids are expensive.

Little evidence exists that the IRS seeks eventual profit that justifies expenses of this kind.

You got child care taken care of?
still an afterthought. Brit will be in school, and I work 24 on, 48 off (and so do nurses, what she is studying to be), so we should be able to arrange work schedules so that one of us is home at any given time. so childcare will be sporadic. thats as far as ive thought into it.

My conclusion
Kids are expensive and you will financially unreasonable to buying things they need and a lot that they don’t.
Tip: Don’t go crazy with baby clothes. The kid won’t care what he/she is wearing as long as it’s comfortable and he/she will outgrew most clothes before you know it.

Okay, okay...
First off, I think everyone tends to think faster than they type. I certainly thought that sentence out faster than I typed it.
Its probably also a fact that everyone can type faster if they aren’t worrying about capitalization, punctuation, spelling, etc.
If I’m trying to write out an idea or a story, I tend to ignore grammar rules and type/write as fast as I can simply so I don’t forget anything or lose track of what I’m trying to say.
So, it’s a trade off. Do you want to spell out a thought quickly before it gets away from you? Does grammar and punctuation actually matter or does it just look nice?
Personally, I try and use capitalization and punctuation when I’m typing for other people, but I’m not going to hold it against someone else if they don’t. I do it mostly out of habit, its not a self-righteous thing.

I’m sorry. I think the only two movies I saw when I was part of the under-10 group were Toy Story 2 and Pokemon: The Movie (quality movies, the both of them), so I always forget that kids like to go see movies in theaters too.
Oh, and on the topic of crappy 3D movies, don’t see Sanctum. Saw a special preview screening of it on Thursday and it’s pure crap. Averaged one eyeroll every five minutes, and predicted the exact order that everyone died in. And the 3D sucks too.

Me neither. I’m one of those people who gets a headache from it, so I often end up watching more than half the movie without the glasses anyways. Doesn’t make sense to me to spend the $3 extra on the 3D if I’m not going to enjoy it.

Luckily, the team is unknown enough that even USC fans don’t really know that his name is Justin Bieber, and it helps that we don’t put names on the back of jerseys pretty much ever.

Nah, I’m a winger, as that’s the easiest skater position, and we only have one set of goalie gear and one of the girls actually played goalie before. But yeah, our first game. It’s against some random women’s rec team, so that should be interesting.
I have no idea how Barkley was ranked before coming to USC, but all facetiousness aside, the guy is an absolute beast. We’re going to miss him when he goes pro, which hopefully won’t be until after I graduate.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA To put it in perspective, we’re not able to do a lot of drills right now since around half the team is currently learning how to skate. I’m probably one of the best learning-how-to-skaters, and I still don’t know how to stop. There are a few girls who are good (one girl was playing D-II until she transferred to USC), but mostly we suck. And it’s actually club, but since we’re literally the only women’s college team in the state at any level, we play whoever we can get.
USC QBs tend to stay all four years, so I wouldn’t expect Barkley to turn pro until his senior year. Plus, that’ll be the year that the sanctions are lifted (barring the appeal, of course), so Barkley will finally have a chance to play in a bowl game other than the Emerald Bowl.

Yup. We were supposed to play a team of middle-aged women last semester on Halloween, but the entire team vetoed that idea since it was Halloween.
I believe he did, but I wasn’t a fan of USC until I decided to go here. And hey, if Luck turns pro next year, then Barkley will have a better shot of being drafted even higher if he turns pro the year after that. So between a bowl game and avoiding Luck, I think he’d want to play his senior season.

And it wasn’t so much everyone would show up drunk as it was on a Sunday, in San Diego, and everyone wanted to go party instead. And yeah, in hindsight it was great that didn’t happen. Didn’t want to miss MadBum be awesome.
Women’s hockey is no-contact, so no.
And yeah. I mean, Harbaugh is gone from Stanford so that’s really good for us, but Oregon is still Oregon. We’ll probably still be in the top three in the Pac-12, but it’d be nice to play spoiler and be the best team in the Pac-12 and cockblock the other teams.

It really has been. He should win the Masterton Trophy.
I’d honestly blame it on the lack of defense, tbh. If the forwards don’t feel comfortable with the defensemen, they take fewer risks, leading to fewer goals. And then the defensemen don’t help with the offense because they’re just worried about playing defense.
That, and Pavelski’s shooting percentage is ridiculously low and he should probably have twice as many goals as he does now based on career averages.

theres no more torture. ironic, isn’t it? that Torture motto finally catches on mainstream, and the Giants didn’t once make the WS torture.
Good thing the whole “no championship in 50+ years” was a good fallback for the Torture motto, cause if we’d won it all in 2002, it would have looked lame in the WS this year. If that all makes sense

I kinda wish the Toroture motto had never gone mainstream at all. It was our own little joke, that meant its own thing to different people…and then the non-Kruk/Kuip media got hold of it and suddenly everyone was complaining about us complaining too much when that didn’t really have anything to do with it in the first place. Ugh.
"Today, it's as if McCovey's line drive finally went through. And the earthquake didn't happen. And Spiezio struck out. And Snow was safe."
i hear ya. the media didnt even get the whole Torture thing right, anyhow. It’s cause we played in all these 1-0 games, or 1 run games. It was a newer tagline, not 54 years of torture or whatever.
And the idiots with all the signs that said “End the torture today” in Game 162? I say Keep The Torture Going!! When the torture ends, its because the season is over

Right. It was the one runs games and the losing one-hitters. That’s all it was.
But no, then you had people digging through game records going “Ha! Our team had more one run games than your team! Neener, neener!”
K, well…good for you? Your announcer didn’t come up with the tagline. Shut up and mind your own business.
And it got even worse when they tried to spread it over 54 years…because even then it would have had nothing to do with having x number of losing seasons in a row or any of the crap people were again digging out of record books. It would have been about coming close, very close, repeatedly, and never making it. Hmmph.

When pregnant my wife would sometimes stop talking midsentence and follow her nose like a demented bloodhound wherever it led. Almost always, it led to fruit. Usually very delicious fruit, nectarines and tomatoes and tangerines and really anything. I miss that: now we sometimes buy fruit that looks and feels good, but tastes blah.

that's easy
Packers. Ben always finds a way to win, yes, but he’s not THAT great, and he’s already won a few recently. Yes, the Steelers can beat you in more ways than the Packers, but this is the Pack’s year.
Rodgers will eat their secondary, Steelers will still find ways to score, it’ll be close, but Pack will win by 3 or less.

BTW
I’m not mad with the long thread. I did get a little pissed at you a few days ago in the last thread when you said all Red Sox fans not in Boston are all bandwagoners when I’ve been a fan for 30 years because of Jim Rice was my favorite.

i realize that, and it did not come out the way that i intended it to.
what i meant was, most Red Sox fans that aren’t from Boston originally or have familial ties to there are usually bandwagoners, caused by the 2004 ALCS and their success afterward. Yes, there are some who were actually fans before 2004, but to call a team “yours” when it comes to lovable losers (like Cubs fans- you never see a Cubs fan who isn’t from Chicago or has ties to Chicago somehow) is somewhat interesting. They’re there when they win, but when they lose, nowhere to be found.
I did not intend to insult you, and made that comment while on my way out the door so it wasn’t well thought out. I’ve also had a roommate who was a Sox fan, he only became a fan after 2004 and he is the most impossible person to talk to about baseball. So through my experience, most Red Sox fans are bandwagoners from 2004 that ended up falling in love with the team. If they want to call them their team, they can, but they will be called out on it.
You appear to be a true Sox fan, yet a Giants fan, which intrigues me. How did that come about?

As a kid, I kept seeing highlights and games of Jim Rice so I started following his career. Of course, I lived in SF so the Giants were a natural. And because they play in two different leagues, I could root for both.

if you’d told me right after my ex-wife and i split up that 6 months later I’d be hired onto a city dept and have a baby on the way with a great girl, I’d have told ya you’re lying.
Never underestimate how fast life will change. I’ll tell ya right now that 6 months from now you’ll have your own pad, have a job that you love, and you’ll be engaged. Who knows, maybe life has an ever crazier plan waiting. We’ll look back at this post in 6 months, if we’re not too angry about another Coors Field debacle. Thankfully, Timmeh’s perfect game from the previous day will have eased most of the pain of a meltdown.

Sending in my peet’s application tomorrow, so hopefully that goes well, as well as applying for a job at the county

being a barista is def not anything above your intelligence, PiKA. dont sell yourself short, even it is a stop-gap to make ends meet while you search down your dream job (or at least get on the stairs for your dream job).
Anyhow, I’ll catch you tomorrow. My babyMama just got here so I got to go. Apparently, a talk with her parents about having a baby take 10 hours : /
I’ll catch you on the flip side, brotha.

The Cincy airport is terrible. O’Hare is, obviously, awful. I don’t mind Denver so much.

Is it baseball season yet?
I think we’re all really bored considering all of the discussions above. Hell, even I am looking forward to an exhibition baseball game on TV. After the Super Bowl, there is NOTHING sports wise until baseball season (maybe a little March Madness).
