I dropped this in the morning thread...
but this is an exert from Kikuchi interview after the whole 20 teams (Japanese and MLB0 met with him…
-comments on the impression left by both leagues after the meeings
"I thought both were great, and I want to go to both. Japan’s development system is gentle, and in America there is the stepped system of rookie ball, 1A, 2A,3A and the Majors"
-you met a major leaguer
"He had an aura of playing in the best place in the world."
-what will the deciding factor be?
"I can comfortable play in either league. In Japan, there won’t be any problems with food or training. Even in the Majors, there are teams offering to provide a translator, so there’s no uneasiness. If I go to America, I believe the teams that said ‘don’t worry’. My manager and parents both said ‘we’ll leave it up to you’, so I want to come to a conclusion without regret.
Anyone want to guess who that major leaguer was?
And
Rangers: sent Jim Colborn and lefty Derek Holland; espoused the team’s development system and let Kikuchi ask questions.
Sounds like Texas tried a personal approach ans attempted to answer all of his questions in a first hand manner. Maybe Holland was a good choice.

Well, yay
Two teams I hate on TV tonight, and new neighbors who smoke and have thus filled up my apartment with the stink.
Oh, and the spouse’s flight home is delayed so far for a hour, and we let 53 people go today.
I’m havin a great evening.

This was round 2
in this particular affiliate. The corporate office (where I work) laid off 80 something in April. At this point all of our affiliates have had at least one layoff and most have had two.

Timberlake
I don’t get why chicks dig him – not good-looking and skinny.
I don’t get why his music is so popular – drum box with screech-moaning.
But I really like him because he’s genuinely a hilarious dude who plays up his celebrity with a wink.
Yeah
I don’t care about him at all usually. I just think he’s really funny in those commercials. I don’t watch SNL but I hear he’s hilarious when he hosts.

This umpiring is maybe the worst I have ever seen in a postseason.
Two blown calls in 2 plays. Swisher was picked off 2nd and then he didn’t even leave early.

makeup call
for the blown call at second. not sure i’ve ever seen an appeal on a tag up work. especially when he clearly didn’t leave early…
So many questionable calls... such a short series
You won’t find this many fuck-ups in a regular season series. And that’s with two FEWER umpires
by oc on Oct 20, 2009 8:32 PM CDT up reply actions
You know
When Tim McCarver is killing the umpires for blowing plays — and for making a call on a play where the ump clearly didn’t see what happened — that’s bad.
oh well
3 runs should be enough with the way cc is going. i hate the angels so much i’ve been forced to cheer for the red sox and yanks in back to back series. i feel so dirty.
I love how they go on for 5 minutes about the blown call on the tag
But McCarver clams up and Joe Buck makes apologies for the blown call on the pickoff.
This is getting ridiculous.
The other night when it was in extra innings, I counted 5 or 6 times they said “the winning run is on insert base” when the Yanks were up, and not once did they say it for the Angels.
Ugh.

Hi, Keith. Is this the year Edinson Volquez finally wins RoY?
On the pickoff...
…it is a little more understandable. It was a bang-bang play, and on pickoffs, unless the runner is pretty clearly out, the runner usually gets the benefit of the doubt.
The appeal play at third, though…that was just weird. I have no idea why they called Swisher out there.
by Adam J. Morris on Oct 20, 2009 8:36 PM CDT up reply actions
I'm not criticizing the umps, my point is Buck and McCarver and the rest of their team seem to have a bias
Both replays clearly showed the umps blew it. But only one do they harp on over and over.

by Adam J. Morris on Oct 20, 2009 8:44 PM CDT up reply actions
Well, they were right......
…….on saturday night, the Yankees were the home team. So it was the “winning” run on base when the Yankees were batting. When the Angels were batting, it was the “go-ahead” run on base. That’s how it’s properly said in baseball. If the Yankees had scored, they would have won. If the Angels had scored, they would have gone ahead.
This postseason he has been incredible.
Wonder what it was?

both runners were off the base. What are the odds that this crew gets low marks for their games. What with the tiny strike zone and then add these awful calls. Makes you wonder if the NBA has nothing on the MLB.

Joe Buck has become insufferable
Could he possibly be smoking the collective Yankee pole any more? He barely mentions Swisher getting lucky when he was picked off 2nd. He then goes on and on about the Swisher tag up for an entire half inning. The Arod stuff is just getting intolerable too.
Maybe just cut-and-paste every one of these gripes and e-mail them to someone at FOX or MLB?

What's the oddest class you ever took?
I took a Women’s Studies course that had an old B&W pic in the textbook of a woman crouching over a mirror examining her vagina. Course was cancelled due to lack of interest so I never did get to find out how that dang thang works.
Antisemitism
Bar none. If you’ve been to UNT and had Dr. Pollack you’ll understand. I can’t even describe how crazy and stupid the class was.
The philosophy 101 course I took there
was a course to learn how to be an athiest. That was the guy’s intention – turn everybody into athiests and brow beat the resistors into submission and humility. Higher Ed is often a complete joke.
my philosophy course was
taught by an old Harvard burnout that was pretty much stoned the entire time. No tests, no book just discussion. Lots of logic and twisted words and ideas. Hell of a cool class. If you spoke and got the teacher to have to back down or trapped him in circular logic, you got an A. If not you got a C.

I bet if he's stoned he's a chill mofo....calms him down.
But still random as fuck and it would be hilarious to see miles and Ed try to have a stoned discussion.

Assuming this is pretend world
and not real life where I just sit and cry for three hours, I’d pick:
Rachel
Adam
Ben
LSJ
you

As you should
I’d probably add Stephen and Cindy but they’re not on LSB.

They don't POST on LSB.
But I have a sneaking suspicion that Stephen lurks quite a bit.

Likewise
Though I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be someone you’d want to smoke out with.
Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock
Yeah...
My list would be the same as Lisa’s (so does that mean I’m cheating and adding another person?) but I’ve never actually smoked… so there’s no telling how THAT would go.

Hey now.
What are you saying?? ;-)

I really have no idea.
Probably pretty silly though. Shit, I tend to get silly and start repeating random nonsensical things aloud when I get really, really bored and theres nobody around. I’ve had people walk in on me when I’m like that and think I was stoned.

Dirkatron
Ben and Adam
Cahill (just to see if he’s still a grouch stoned)
And uh… you, I guess.

Oh, hold it … I thought you wanted my four dream guests at a dinner party.
Good hamburger recipe:
Dice up some onion and bell pepper very fine
dump yer meat in a big bowl
salt and pepper
splash a glop of olive oil on it
splash a glorp of Italian dressing on it
splash a glip of balsamic vinegar on it
toss in a coupla big pinches of rubbed sage
dive in hands-first and mix all that stough up
shape into a loaf, cover and let sit for an hour in the fridge to blend flavors
heat skillet while you shape patties
cook them muthahs up and enjoy the tastiest juciest burgers ever
um...kindof random
but I’d rather grill, so obviously this recipe doesn’t work for me

i was only kidding
i always grill my burgers. only flip them once. that is key to keeping juices intact
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
i usually cook them away from the hottest part of the grill
i love me a juicy burger. both you and shroomer’s recipe’s sound interesting, but I’m such a creature of habit that I would have a hard time letting my classic go
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
I used to be like that
After trying it with BBQ sauce in the meat though I’ll try anything. It gets so juicy.
Here is what I use:
BBQ sauce:
Bottle Ketchup
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vineagar
1/4 Molasses
1/4 cup Honey
1/4 tsp Cloves
1/4 tsp Allspice
Chili Powder to taste
7-8 tablespoons Brown Sugar
Spicy Mustard to taste
Salt/Pepper to taste
Optional: Liquid Smoke, Worcestshire
this sounds really good
an interesting mix of sweet and spicy.

I'm not claiming that it's fully original
but it is good. I want to try that shroomer Italian burger now. Thanks for getting me hungry at 10:13
might need to add...
if you do make it you start with the ketchup as the base and slowly add the remaining ingredients. then bring it to a boil until it gets a consistency. let it cool on the oven. it makes a good 4-5 cups.
I keep it pretty basic with a burger
season salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. of course I’m a fan of bacon and cheese. i love a good mushroom and swiss burger. yum…….
name your favorite burger joint.

that's a long ways west
I guess I could head out that way if I wanted to go nowhere.
i need to find a mom and pop burger place. diners and drive-ins show did a place in garland. i don’t know what it was called. I usually frequent Scotty P’s or Mooyah for a decent burger.

well, it might make for a fun day trip to west TX with the wife. I’d have to figure out some other excuse as well though. What else is around Jacksboro.

Place in Nac that was closed down called Zesty burger
had 3 burges fro 5 bucks.. greasy as hell, with some cajun seasoning on he beef when they fried it up, greasy as onion rings..
That and the shop was a legit 15×24

sounds solid
I usually dump a 1/2 cup of my homemade BBQ sauce, salt, pepper, and a shot of spicy mustard in the burgers (BBQ has spicy mustard in it). Let them sit in the fridge while the fire warms then throw them on the cooler side of the grill.
Juciest I’ve ever had by far. I might have to try yours though. Sounds tasty
Holy shit

You know, I must admit seeing ARod destroy his “unclutch” criticisms this postseason has been kinda fun.

I think I actually watched one of his HRs recently without gagging.

Arod has played great
but it’s been about their pitching. and since they are winning other players like Tex, who has pretty much sucked, aren’t getting the unclutch label. winning solves everything.
but, if the Yankees don’t win a WS, Arod will still be looked at as a failure

speaking of commercials
will Sonic stop using those parked in the car cheap ass commercials. and what is with the freakin’ stack of dollar bills Geico?. the guy who sets up the trap etc is one of the stupidest commercials i’ve ever seen.

It was not the dash-cam spots.
Sonic might be going in a new direction
Hehehehe
Matt Palmer sucks.
It’s really satisfying to watch the FOX cameras pan across the Angel crowd right now.

It's not giving me the pitch f/x
But he had 2 swinging K’s and a groundout. There was an “injury delay” in the inning though, not sure who/what it was for.

That's gonna be Schepper's only inning
14 pitches, 10 strikes (3 swinging). Looks like he got both his K’s on high fastballs.
