NIXON: NOW MORE THAN EVER
McDonald
Wait until the Lawrence Welk band plays the same song next week.
¡yo soy Horsedooty!
I soloed in the Mile High Club!
Pitching matchup
Two former White Sox. Brandon “made of glass” McCarthy vs. Jon “cockroach above chin” Garland.
Three things
1. Been watching the track on Gustav, and the greater NOLA area is probably in big trouble if this thing goes crazy like we’ve seen happen before. If it stays on a westerly track it’ll eventually impact DFW, and could make things interesting in Houston long before that.
2. Best wishes to LSB’s and BTiA’s own Jason Parks, who is tying the knot on Labor Day.
3. Brandon McCarthy. Hell yeah.
it doesn't look like the center will hit Houston
and believe me, working at a hospital, it is quite a topic of discussion.
Look at what its doing
There’s no way they can tell where its going right now. It nudged southwest in the last couple of hours. That’s crazy.

Haven't really followed it....
So what are the potential impacts for DFW just torrential rain or…
"Mr. Hicks, you watch, I'm going to be a leader on this team." Kinsler
Well
If it hits around houston then keeps moving north we’ll get lots of rain probably some severe weather too like tornadoes. It just depends on which way it goes after it makes landfall.
Gdawg1 wants me to die. :[
Thanks.
Checking on it now says it might be a cat 3 or 4 by Monday. Yikes.
Stay safe everyone. Stay very very safe.
"Mr. Hicks, you watch, I'm going to be a leader on this team." Kinsler
EFFFF
we’re going to Houston/Round Rock/San Marcos from Saturday to Tuesday. Forecast track so far looks OK – hopefully it doesn’t speed up!

Getting down there won't be a problem
And it shouldn’t hit until late Monday or Tuesday. But trying to get back will be a pain in the ass.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Yeah
We were debating staying over Tuesday night but I’m thinking we probably aren’t now. Dammit!

Gustav
Yeah that fucker almost ruined my Labor Day weekend. We were called to day and told to mobilize this weekend to Ft Polk, LA so we could go from there with the rescue missions. Luckily they decided to just wait here till Tuesday or Wednesday and then mobilize once we know exactly where and what damage was done.

Just from watching his delivery this inning it looks like he is taking a longer stride. The results are much better also

What is
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
The first inning
And this is purely from the television angle, he looked to be a much shorter stride. When he shortens his stride he ends up going on his tip toes because of his height. The 2nd inning he looked alot more balanced after he released the ball. Just my amateur opinion

question for someone watching
how does mccarthy look? i see the boxscore, but are these hard hit outs? is he keeping the ball down?
Very hard hit outs
And no, he’s not keeping the ball down. When he does, the batters aren’t swinging at ’em.
A lot of fly balls and lineouts to the OF
He hasn’t been able to really throw his offspeed stuff for strikes at the knees tonight.

Not much hit to him so far
The one ball that I did see hit to him was in the hole and he couldn’t get a handle on it.

someone who was there
said that they were hitting the ball pretty hard off of him, and that he didn’t have his best stuff. still, if he can manage a line like that without his best stuff, it may be all the more impressive.
More important

He has been up and down between the Majors and AAA 6 times this year though. It’s been a dissapointing year for some of the Angels top prospects – Nick Adenhart has had a rough time and Wood just hasn’t done anything so far.

They did the "hotfoot" to him
Lit something on fire and put it under his foot. He didn’t notice until it started burning his pant leg. It was funny but maybe Harrison took it the wrong way

Well they did just get their first sweep of the season and are up 5-1 on their divisional rival...

Got a good pitch to throw him out on, and just threw a laser down there. It was, dare I say, Laird-esque.

these FBs look a lot faster than 88 or 89 to me...
"Popularity is fleeting. Principles are forever."
Because hes 6'7"
When he lengthens his stride its releasing alot closer to the plate than a normal size persons. Probably makes it similar to a 92/93 mph fastball. Where he gets in trouble is when he shortens his stride and its only an 88 mph FB.

I've only seen these past two innings
but I’m pleased that these fly balls McCarthy is getting are pretty weak and playable for the outfielders
a few have been hard hit
but they have been right at the fielders

Doesn't 2K have Joe Morgan commentating?
That’s even worse. At least Rex is only a sidline reporter on the show.

Jon Miller/Joe Morgan.
He’s not as big of an idiot on the game. I’ll take it over junk lines like Rex Hudler’s.

I can’t stand Miller either. Matt Vasgersian on the The Show is actually pretty decent, IMO.

Im just bitter
finally, after all the other Microsoft problems i have had, today was the date that my Statistical Analysis Macros and other packages finally got updated to be able to be used on Microsoft 07..
Haven’t been able to do shit with 07 or Vista cause neither can function with the stair-step algorithm programs for problem solving with linear and non linear programming.
Vista freaks with trying to get 03 to run on it, and 07 didn’t have the necessary algorithms till this week.
I am one of the very few that likes it.

Is it really that fucking hard to throw a strike to Mike freakin’ Napoli with the bases loaded? I mean, really? With the bases loaded you walk a .218 hitter?

I do not understand this
refusal to use a relief pitcher for more than one inning. Beniot was doing well but Wash took him out. Does he really think he will use him tomorrow? Win the game you are playing first.
Well, he previously said
That he was gonna go with Benoit in the 7th, Wright the 8th and Fx2 in he 9th. He really seems to think Wright is something special when he’s just not.

I have crapped away too many hours this year
watching these losers, i think i am done with them for the year, and if they don’t dump some of these worthless pussy pitchers in the off season (they dump one of the ones with some balls to the twins, and keep these worms) i may not mess with them anymore, life is too short for this crap

I think Wash just keeps changing relief ptchers
until he finds one that sucks. Most nights that does not take long.
Holy crap. It's over?
What a fuster cluck of an inning. I hate our bullpen.

Yeah
B-Mac gave up quite a few hard hit balls, but most of them went for outs. I was very happy with his outing, but the bullpen… my god, the bullpen.

I blame Warsh
For horrible bullpen management. Benoit looked amazing and he took him out… Just… took him out… begins tearing up
No doubt
I don’t see what Wash sees in him. He’s a decent mid-reliever, but by no means should he be pitching the 8th inning right now. Of course, our other options are Jack Benny and Mad Dog right now, but JB has pitched a lot better of late…

This is the way I see it.
We win, it’s all good. Hopefully the youngsters played well.
We lose, it’s all good. Gotta improve the draft pick so we don’t lose it in case if we sign a Type A.
It’s a win/win.
You know...
My dislike for Young is beginning to border on hate right now.

The AL West equivalent of the Royals
Stars in a Texas Night Sky, a Dallas Stars blog from a fan's perspective.
this was written by a Giants fan in 2006....
Again, it’s stupid to have Tim Lincecum going lights out in San Jose while Jamey Wright blows another winnable game. And there’s only one song that’s appropriate to describe Wright: “You’re No Good,” written by Clint Ballard Jr. and popularized by Linda Ronstadt in 1975 —
Feelin’ better, now that we’re through
Feelin’ better ‘cause I’m over you
I’ve learned my lesson, it left a scar
But now I see how you really are
You’re no good, you’re no good, you’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
I’m gonna say it again
You’re no good, you’re no good, you’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
I broke a heart, that’s gentle and true
Well, I broke a heart over someone like you
I’ll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
I wouldn’t blame him if he said to me
You’re no good, you’re no good, you’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
I’m gonna say it again
You’re no good, you’re no good, you’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
this was at the beginning of the blog post
one could feel the deep dread as Jamey Wright walked in from the pen to put the game out of reach (even though the Giants would score 8 runs) with a stunning display of ineffectiveness — at one point, pitching the ball so wildly that it bounced in front of the plate, bounced off Todd Greene and over the screen & into the stands.

the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
