And the little bastard threw it for a swinging strike three in a 3-2 count. He’s blessed. And ballsy.
How the hell is it raining in AZ?
I thought it be all warm and shitty, but it just tasted like normal beer. It was still cold.
I'm starting to get the feeling we're not going to see very much

The Spring training game on Sunday 2/14 is the first on TV.
It’s going to be broadcast on TXA-21. The magic calendar shows the probable pitcher for 2/14 to be Rich Harden. However, it’s a split squad day with an away game also scheduled at the Dodgers’ complex. You gotta believe Harden would, as a vet, be the starter at home against the D-Backs. Surely. Maybe. Hopefully?
I thought you was just being romantic
So I let it slide…

I was going to say that I'd be right there with you.
But while you were doing the shitting, I’d probably be somewhere far away, doing everything possible to not look in your direction for any reason.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
I wonder if they are just updating every half-inning instead of every pitch
that would be a buzz kill
Sadly, that's what they've done in years' past
You wait 10 minutes, and then the entire half inning updates at once.

I'm just ready for some damn T.V. games.
They need to televise all the games, ST included.

2Ks for Harden in the First.
Very nice.

2:55: The good and the bad in Josh Hamilton, all wrapped up in one-bat. He shows patience, getting ahead of Trevor Cahill 3-and-0, then swung at the next three pitches for a strikeout.
ugh. that sucks.

Though I don't doubt that he has access to one...
There is no way Bud could operate the Apache without falling asleep at the stick and crashing into the side of a mountain. None.

I'd imagine he would have someone fly for him though
I bet he’d be the gunner, which in itself would be hilarious because you know he’d miss on the first couple shots taking out half of Surprise. Old people are real shaky.
"We pitched, we caught the ball, we ran the bases, we had good days where we out-fundamentalized the other team." - Ronald Washington
That would be a tricky shot.
And after the first few misses, I’d bet anything that Grant would have already run off to broadcast another day.
With another chin.

I'd guess out to around 4 miles, maybe?

I'm thinking the dude entering the Gameday stats.....
got fed up with the rain delays and bailed.
Is 2010 our year??
gameday
I reloaded gameday and it is starting to work somewhat
I soloed in the Mile High Club!
has Harden only thrown 13 pitches?
per Gameday
(Wife) "So what do you want to watch on the T.V.? UFC or porn?"
(Husband) "Hmm... well, porn, I guess."
Appartently Gameday has gone into crap mode
So, most likely that’s not accurate

Damn, I missed the Harden gem
how was his velocity?
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Is this right?
Harden 13 pitches 13 strikes? Jusw wow.

Gameday is in suck mode today
Strikeouts show as three strikes, no balls. Walks show as four balls, no strikes. All other results show as being on the first pitch.
A's radio says Harden looks free and easy with velocity looking to be in the mid-90s
They don’t have exact numbers though so I don’t think they have a radar gun.
EG
3:27: After Rich Harden allowed a leadoff single to Coco Crisp, he retired the next six hitters. That included three strikeouts and three routine pop flys. Not sure he showed a lot more velocity than last time out; was told he topped out at 91 mph in the first inning, but he was effective and didn’t waste any pitches.
I am bailing
on gameday they got issues.

Quick OT question
My wife and I got married January 23. She’s doing her taxes now. I know we both put “single” on ours, but should she also put on her maiden name since that’s what her last name was on Dec. 31, 2009?
I would think so, and
congrats by the way…

I would think she needs to fill out her info....
with no mention of being married since it has to do with last year.
Is 2010 our year??
My wife suggests that...
…the name on her W2 (or whichever form she has) should work.

maybe it’s the weather conditions there.

OT: Fangraphs
Ran a (somewhat complex) simulation of the AL season based on the FANS projection that people have been filling out all offseason.
Interesting results include no team outside of NYY, Boston and TB having a greater than 3% chance of winning the wild card. It shows the Yankees as overwhelming favorites to make the playoffs with Boston and TB having an outside chance but more likely fighting for the WC. Interestingly, the Rangers and Twins both have the highest chances (again, based on this model/set of numbers) of winning the division, both at 38%. Finally, it projects the winner of the West to need just 90 games, despite an average of 96 wins for the past 8 years.
We…win?
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
Well fak.

Strasburg: 27 pitches, 15 strikes. One hit, 2 Ks in 2IP. fastest pitch was 98 and he was consistently at 97 from windup

A's color guy
Is not impressed with Colbyashi as our third starter. Sounds like he assumes his ERA will be consistent with his ERA from his first stint in the majors and that the Rangers pitching will suck balls this year.
the color guy came back and said (paraphrased)
“‘words with his pitching coach’ may have been a little strong. It looked like they were discussing the pitch that he threw to Kouzmanoff.”

But then they compared Andrus to Tejada
Was Miggy really that great of a fielder back in his prime? I don’t remember that…
by Mike the Grate on Mar 9, 2010 5:09 PM CST up reply actions
Probably just the best reference to a good fielding shortstop they could think of.
Chavez was really good but not sure about Tejada
"Hell's frozen over, Pigs are flying! The Saints have won the Super Bowl"
Tejada
consistently below average with some truly horrible years. It’s like Nadal comparing Andrus to Michael Young as a SS.
