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
pitching carefully to him. or maybe not since michael young is coming up

Good job Ian.

Don't think you can say he's not clutch -
He crushed that ball.
Just in the wrong ballpark against the wrong CF.
Hey, he drilled it
Problem is, this park is massive and Gutierrez is the best CFer in baseball.

On September 6...
…the Tigers were 7 games up on the Twins, with a 75-61 record, with 26 games to go.
Since then, they’ve gone 10-15, and the Twins have gone 17-8.
Carlos Gomez still sucks.

if the Rangers were in DETs position....
the LSB group would be on suicide watch right now.
Could Leyland lose his job if his team chokes tomorrow??
Wash is an idiot!!
He probably should

Okay
I blame Byrd for getting a single. If he makes an out, Davis has a double there because the first baseman isn’t holding.
we could have pinch run
and Gentry could have stolen 2nd on the first pitch…
Damnit Chris
Hit the ball in the air! :)

I should put up the 87-74 post now
That is a sign we aren’t going to win, and I could go back to reading my book.
One more inning
We need Rally OC in the 9th.

Pynchon's "Against the Day"
Which I’ve been working on off and on for about a month now.

How is it?
I’m looking for something new to read. I just finished re-reading Heinlein’s “Friday” for the millionth time (it was my “gateway Heinlein”).

If you haven't read Pynchon before...
…I don’t recommend it.
“Crying of Lot 49” or “Vineland” are for Pynchon n00bs. If you’ve read Pynchon before and like him, then you’ll probably like this book.

Are you familiar with Alastair Reynolds?
by Adam J. Morris on Oct 3, 2009 10:32 PM CDT up reply actions
Yes
IIRC, you were the one to give me the recommendation, too.

I also just read
Charles Stross’ “Saturn’s Children”, which was OK. I might try reading some more of his stuff.

That's not Stross's best
That’s his Friday pastiche, basically.
You might check out Greg Egan. Schild’s Ladder, I really liked. Or try Stross’s Singularity Sky and Iron Sunrise (in that order).

I think
I read the Wiki article on “Friday”, which mentions the homage in “Saturn’s Children”, which is what pointed me there. I think I have all of those (in, uh, PDF format) so I’ll probably check those out too.

I started Gravity's Rainbow multiple times...
…and failed to get through it, before I found a “Reader’s Guide” that I used as a supplement to help explain the stuff I was missing and the particularly arcane stuff.

Only if Adam's reading the book on his iPhone.

Just want everyone to know
Took a strange cocktail of medicines today to fight off the shittastic mess I’ve got going on in my sinuses.
I feel incredibly drunk, but strangely lucid.
DEVELOPING!
Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.
I ate over a half a package of double stuff Oreos during this game
I’m feeling a bit sugar-buzzed right now.
