Where is EH '09?

Can’t be AAA, imo.

Nipple hater!

You didn’t even want him in the bullpen a month ago.

Um...

Probably, yes. Because I’m not confident about signing a quality SP in the off-season.

no

unless he repeats this (well, is good anyway) 3 more times, and i have my doubts.

The only problem with Dido...

…is her collaborating with Eminem…

by Adam J. Morris on Sep 11, 2008 11:08 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

You have to look at it from another angle...

…Eminem wanted to work with her. Presumably because her music is so moving.

What?

I’d say Eminem was slumming it, and I don’t mind either.

Dude, Seamus Heaney is an Eminem fan.

I didn't mean to sound so cryptic about that

I just hope that he can find a niche in the bullpen.

He's pitched pretty well in the second half though

Has to have earned himself some consideration for the ’09 bullpen.

I was initially a bit sad to see him go as well

From the standpoint of cheering for him for so long. But that sentimentality turned to hatred fairly quickly after I saw how he treated ATL.

Reminds me of a line...

…I believe by Thomas Pynchon…

Where the seedy protagonist in the novel writes a check at a store, and the proprietor considers whether to just go ahead and tape it to the side of the cash register right then, with the rest of the returned checks, to cut out the middle man.

Pynchon

Do you enjoy reading his stuff or were they required readings for school?

by Hypo-Luxa on Sep 11, 2008 11:07 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Pynchon

I liked the Crying of Lot 49. Vineland was like Anchorman, in that there were some really excellent parts, and yet it wasn’t all that great as a whole. V was neat.

Gravity’s Rainbow, I don’t know what to say about…it wasn’t even like reading a book. It was like some other sort of artistic/literary-like experience, and I’m still not sure it was worth the effort to get through, although I can admire the intricacy and work that went into it.
