Where is EH '09?
Can’t be AAA, imo.

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

by Adam J. Morris on Sep 11, 2008 11:08 PM CDT up reply actions
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.

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.

The 2 baserunners
should probably just be awarded home plate so as to just accelerate the inevitable.
What's the rumpus?
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.
by Adam J. Morris on Sep 11, 2008 11:05 PM CDT up reply actions
Pynchon
Do you enjoy reading his stuff or were they required readings for school?
What's the rumpus?
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.

Pynch
tried to get into Vineland…couldn’t do it. Tried to get into Mason & Dixon…couldn’t do it. Maybe I’ll try Crying of Lot 49 next
Sir Alfred Duggan is a good Brit author. Histroical fiction stuff. A little tangental, I know, but whatever, I like his books

Nippert
After 5 innings, 50 strikes and 44 balls. That’s not great.

I don't know
Reading TR Sullivan’s rotation predictions the other day, he made it sound like the Rangers wanted him to spend more time in the minors, but I thought he pitched pretty well, save for that one time they rushed him back off the DL.

Who the fuck else fills it out
Millwood, traded as soon as possible. Padzilla, fine, we’ll stick around with him. BMAC is a lock for the rotation. Then I’m thinking EH and Nippert. That has to be it.

Divorce lawyer
have you ever represented a client/s that make you question the institution of marriage?
What's the rumpus?
couples
that get so nasty, petty, mean-spirited that they ruin the whole idea of it for you.
I was a banquet captain for a while and I did a few weddings which made me vow never to get married in the “traditional” big production way.
What's the rumpus?
