More dates to chew on....

1985 – Nolan Ryan becomes the first pitcher to record 4,000 strikeouts, fanning Danny Heep in the 6th inning of Houston’s 4 – 3 win over the Mets. Ryan finishes with 11 strikeouts in seven innings but gets no decision. Bill Doran’s 5th hit drives home Dickie Thon in the 12th with the winning run.

2006 – With two outs in the top of the ninth, Michael Young hits a two-run triple off Trevor Hoffman to give the American League a 3 – 2 win in the 2006 All-Star Game; it is the 10th straight win by the AL team.

Tech was never really threatened by Baylor last year.

Baylor trailed by 7 and had the ball…maybe on their own 35 yard line….with less than a minute to play but I was never worried.

IIRC, Tech gave away 3 TDs in that game via turnovers and special teams.

The game was much closer than it should have been (thank you, Taylor Potts) but the outcome was never really in doubt.

Jurickson Profar, SS, Rangers
Profar has been outstanding all year, hitting .270/.380/.488 in 69 games as the youngest (yes, even younger than Bryce Harper) player in the Sally League. On Sunday, he impressed in his very first at-bat, lining a triple off Kyle Gibson, a Triple-A pitcher who is as good as many big-league fourth and fifth starters. With well-above average defense including a very strong arm, average speed and power, a big-league-level approach, and fantastic makeup, he’s the best shortstop prospect in the game, and before you ask, I’m well aware of what Baltimore’s Manny Machado has done this year.

Had a guy from a recommended company come out to give us a quote on building a deck in our backyard on Friday. I had to rush home to meet him at 5:30. When I get home, he’s there and the wife has already explained what we want and he’s outside taking measurements, so I stick my head out the door, say hi and head inside to change.

When I come out he’s knocking at the front door, and when I open it he just hands me a manilla folder and says “Let me know if you have questions.” And then he sprint walks back to his truck. I open up the folder, and circled in the middle of a bunch of chicken scratch calculations is the number: $31,400. I’m just….baffled.

Basically you just play through the game and write everything down and then go back and edit it to whatever you missed and then it’s just updates. They even have YouTube walkthroughs now.

I can hang with them on the plyo, but as soon as it’s over, I pretty much colapse in a heap.

Exactly, that's what I learned on Plyometrics.

I did the whole program, but cheated a little by not going as low as I should, or not bringing my legs up as far on those goddamn rockstar jumps.

Did everything ok on Chest and Back until the very last set of pushups, and I couldn’t even do one normal one.

I’m curious how I’ll be hanging in a month as opposed to my first week. I mean, I have been working out on my own and thought I was in better shape than I obviously am. This shit is no joke.

How’s the yoga? I have that tomorrow.

by FuturePants on Jul 11, 2011 10:52 AM CDT up reply actions  

same here on the "divebomber pushups"

by the time I get to that last set, I cannot do any more pushups. Not even if you put a shotgun in my face.

The yoga is good…the entire video is 90 minutes…I only do the first 45, which are strength and balance postures. The last 45 are just balance ones and I don’t have that much time to do the whole video. It’s a good stretch out, especially if your legs are still sore from plyo. You’ll sweat your balls off, though.

and while I can see how Dark Knight would be better — more interesting ideas being explored — I just find Begins much more watchable, outside of Katie “I am a Gotham City District Attorney, let me pass!” Holmes’s performance. Some of the action sequences in Dark Knight, especially the last ones, weren’t nearly as fun to me (on the other hand, the skyhook one was awesome).

It's always tedious to do an origin story.

There was only like 10 minutes of kid stuff.

Oh yeah, totally agree about Dark Knight.

Dark Knight needed to remove Two Face entirely….it was a waste of time and didn’t provide a satisfying conclusion to the movie at all.

I actually liked how they handled Two Face.

His actions were needed to set up Batman having to pretend to go bad, and I don’t think you could do a whole movie around Two Face. The flipping a coin bit would get old.

But I didn’t really like the Joker’s endgame scheme. The boat scenes were interminable, and the fight through the tower to get to the joker was underwhelming.

by Closure GT on Jul 11, 2011 9:27 AM CDT up reply actions  

I think The Dark Knight could have been better

if they saved Two Face for a sequel. Let him become Two-Face, but they didn’t need him going against Batman at the end. I also didn’t like that the cool aura of Gotham turned into Chicago.

Also, I know it was a dark movie and everything and Nolan probably had to tone it down some to keep the PG-13 rating, but they really needed some more blood.

Nolan wanted it to be realistic

I get what he was trying to do with The Dark Knight. He wanted to make the Joker’s character feel as real as possible and having him rob banks and blow up hospitals or hanging dudes off of skyskrapers in a more realistic city accomplished that.

The problem is that he got rid of all the coolest parts of Gotham in the process.

There was quite a bit of exposition in both of them, even with some voiceovery in Begins when talking about "the first time I stole to avoid starving..." and all.

More show, less tell of Bruce Wayne after leaving Gotham, less show, more tell of Bruce Wayne the kid.

Basically, I don’t think tying in the fear of bats to getting his parents killed added enough to the story (was a feeling of guilt over that ever brought up again?) to be worth the kids playing/falling into the well scene.

that went throughout the city and Wayne Tower was in the middle of the city plus is its biggest business.

And I don’t think that scene was more than 20 seconds in the train. IIRC, the scene was a cool look at the train and the city (what TDK missed), then they show the Waynes in the train on the way to the opera with the 5 lines spoken (Bruce’s mom says 3 words in the entire movie), and then the scene is done and they’re watching the opera.

Disagree

In Batman Begins, the fight scenes were my favorite because it showed how Batman fights. Like the docks fight scene that had him going in and out of the shadows. Then he jumps into the crowd of people as Falcone is trying to see what’s happening. IMO, that cut/cut/cut stuff works great for it.

In TDK, that was one of my smaller complaints about it since they seemed to cut out a lot of the mystery with Batman. Like the opening fight where he goes against the Scarecrow, its just a shot of him fighting his way through all those guys without any cutting.

Yeah

I’ve gotten a couple of other jobs through recruiters, but it was all very quick and surface level. These guys seem different though; more intense. I’m just trying to gauge whether this is a “what are your strengths and weakness” interview or a “discuss the inverse effect of rising loss costs on underwriting profits in the boarder regions” type of interview.

1994 IMDB review for Chairman of the Board, starring Carrot Top

A few weeks ago I watched Carrot Top’s Chairman of the Board on HBO. This is not just the worst movie I’ve ever seen, it’s the worst movie that’s ever been or ever could be.

There’s a notorious scene in John Waters’ Pink Flamingos where the drag queen Divine picks up an actual piece of dog feces and eats it. That is a Capraesque delight compared to the moment in COTB when Carrot Top leans in to kiss actress Courtney Thorne-Smith. Indeed, Thorne- Smith deserves an honorary Oscar for not vomiting her small intestines the second Top’s fish-underbelly skin came within Taser range of her lips.

I have spent the better part of my life a happy-go-lucky atheist, endlessly circling an epistemological cul-de-sac, foolishly content in the delusion that naught but unremarkable randomness and the caprice of evolution govern our planet and our lives.

I write this now as a careworn and grudging theist, cursed with the metaphysical certainty that God exists and that there must indeed be a reckoning. Only a literal hell can restore to the universe a sense of order and return to our souls – souls thirsting for justice for humanity, for cable subscribers everywhere, and not least of all for Courtney Thorne-Smith – a small measure of peace.

Indeed, Mr. Top’s crushingly unfunny “film” is a long, jagged scar across our collective unconscious. It is your hopes and dreams replaced by a dying, weeping child crushed and all at once bereft of breath in your unconsoling – and inconsolable – embrace. It is blood in your stool on the eve of your wedding day. It is an unaccounted-for prosthetic eyeball swimming languidly in your vegetable pad thai. It is happiness itself blotted forever from the cosmos.

Carrot Top is the worst human being who has ever lived or ever will live. Stalin? What’s a pogrom here or there? Pol Pot? The killing fields are the sweet songs of seraphim heard within the fragrant bosom of your lover compared to this dread offering. Hitler? Europe, she recovered by and by. There is no Marshall Plan for the pain and ruin we Chairman of the Board survivors must endure the sad remainder of our now-squalid lives.

Not only are there no – no – laughs in this movie, this film will steal laughs from the rest of your life. It represents a debt that can’t be repaid – not now, not here, not in Superman’s Bizarro World, not in a far, future galaxy run by countless trillions of nanorobots singularly programmed to wipe away forever the stain of this film, a film that is now irretrievably etched in thousands of banshee-screaming layers of space-time.

What’s done is done. Though every cell of your body may cry out in anguish and every ribbon of DNA struggle mightily against an unslakeable urge to rip itself asunder, there can be no peace – not for you, not for your children, not for your children’s children. Satan, to put it all too bluntly, has won. The collective efforts of millions of preachers, doctors, philanthropists, inventors, kings, queens, philosophers and humble servants of God throughout history are but piffle and dreck.

At Carrot Top’s official Web site, www.oh- my-god-why-am-i-typing-this/someone- please-take-my-e yes-out-with-a-melon- baller/and-fill-the-raw-moist-sockets- with-m olten-pig-iron/lest-the-next- thing-i-see-be-carrot-tops-shiny-disgus ting-head.org/index.html, Carrot Top offers 8-by-10 glossies of himself for 10 bucks apiece.

If deep within the 342 pages of legislation comprising the USA PATRIOT Act there had been a provision for abolishing the civil liberties and reproductive rights of all purchasers of the graven image of this execrable amalgam of Ed Gein- lampshade skin and circus peanut- colored horror, I for one would have been happy to donate every last dollop of fat and tallow in my belly, buttocks, thighs and shanks to grease the skids for fascism once and for all.

But alas, the right to be screamingly unfunny and to slobber to horrifying effect on attractive blond actresses is a long-recognized pillar of our democracy. The right to enjoy watching this sort of thing is similarly entrenched, as is the right to watch dwarf-tossing, to view pornography in which midgets peeing is the central theme, and to stare at the noonday sun.

Still, though I’ve never met a Carrot Top fan, they are presumably out there. According to his Web site, he performs in Las Vegas a lot. Believe me, I would prefer to see a Siegfried and Roy show in which their tigers break loose and devour half the audience and the better part of my lower torso.

In fact, Carrot Top came to my home town earlier this year. Some poor reporter at our local paper had to write a feature story on him. Knowing that writing anything about Carrot Top that doesn’t completely savage him is akin to being one of the PR flacks assigned to spin the Bhopal thing for Union Carbide, I can sympathize with this poor fellow. But not that much.

For when it comes to Carrot Top, his stupid AT&T commercials, or that steaming pile of offal Chairman of the Board, you are either with us or you are with the terrorist. Suffice to say, you’re better dead than red.

"Smitten" is an emotion. You probably feel it for your partner on the force.

“Me” is a singular pronoun referencing the speaker.
“Won” is the past-tense of “win,” which means to be victorious over something. Being that you are from Oklahoma, the concept of victory being foreign to you is not surprising.

so, how much did this guy lose

the cellphone salesman who gave back the ball to Jeter…

6 figures?

by Longhorn on Jul 11, 2011 1:17 PM CDT reply actions  

Probably could have gotten 100k or so out of the deal

Lots of people would have hated him though. Then again, lots of people think he’s stupid for not doing it. Can’t really win that one.

I think he would have made a lot more.

Yankees fans are crazy.

Agreed. The articles I've read estimated the high end of the ball's value at 250K.

He got something south of 100K in tickets and swag from the Yankees.

i don't think anyone would have hated him ... it would make no sense for them to.

why would anyone hate him for selling it? It’s not Jeter’s ball. He didn’t go into the locker room and steal it. It’s basically this guy giving a gift to someone he doesn’t even know. A 100K+ gift. That is weird.

by Longhorn on Jul 11, 2011 1:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

It's Jeter. He is a god to Yankees fans

They would have hated him for taking away a ball that Jeter supposedly earned and should never have to pay for.

by jbrown08 on Jul 11, 2011 1:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

I think he's an idiot personally

Jeter in no way needs the money. That guy probably does. Get what you can, when you can without fucking over other people to do it.

I’m just saying that thousands of Yankees fans would have derided him for doing so.

by jbrown08 on Jul 11, 2011 1:23 PM CDT up reply actions  

Likely. Notice I said thousands?

I didn’t say anything about a percentage. He’s going to be hated by a vocal minority whatever decision he makes.
