The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

It certainly should have been, but the box score is giving him credit for a hit in the second inning,.

 

[bluemoose]

His average went from .086 to .111 after, so I would say it was a well placed infield hit.

So apparently, it cannot be called an "error" if the ball does not hit a glove, which is one of the many stupid, stupid, STUPID rules in Major League Baseball. It's right up there with "if the pitcher motions accidentally with his right hand when changing pitchers, he cannot bring in the lefty reliever" rule. It's right up there with the lack of a rule defining what a "checked swing" is (it's not defined anywhere). It's right up there with using an exhibition game to determine home field advantage in the World Series. MAN, that's stupid.

I skated with some Boston Bruins Players a few days ago. Paille, Soderberg and Backup goalie Johnson did some drills with my sons hockey team. I coach 7, 8 and 9 YO mites. It was pretty cool. They were very nice to spend an hour with them. Taking pictures, signing sticks and autograph cards. My son had so much fun. I have to say, the Mite hockey player in me was pretty excited too.

That'll leave a mark! I told the_Wife, he was about six inches away from have a one-ball count.

Brian, you should have called Daddymem and asked him to bring by the Masstoberfest Cup. I bet the B's players would have loved seeing it.

The patio is coming along nicely. AJ and his boys do nice work. Tomorrow we'll pour the pad for the wood fired oven.

Wish I felt better, I've got an unbelievable head cold and I'm hawking up green snot from down deep.

As if we needed more evidence of why Eck was one of the greatest pitchers of all time.

...the 1989 World Series, which was interrupted by a 6.9 magnitude earthquake minutes before Game 3.

When it was apparent that the Series would be postponed for several days, Tony La Russa, manager of the Oakland A's, took his team to Phoenix for an impromptu Spring Training in October.

Mike Moore: Another Tonyism was, "We've got the best pitching staff in baseball. So who better for our hitters to face?" I don't think the hitters appreciated it too much.

Dave Henderson: We all hated Eckersley because he was basically a dick on the mound. I'd faced the guy for 10 years and he was a dick before. The only reason we let him live was because he was on our team.

Sandy Alderson: During that game, I think Eckersley drilled Canseco. He took a free shot at him.

Dennis Eckersley: Jose comes up to bat and he's pointing to center like Babe Ruth. The first pitch, I drilled Canseco in the back. I dunno, I guess I just got jacked up and threw as hard as I could. Jose's coming to the mound and he's pissed. Finally, everything cools down. It was a strange moment.

Dave Henderson: After it was all over, Canseco comes to me and says, "Hey, Hendu, you think Eckersley hit me on purpose?" I'm like, "You idiot. He's only walked three guys the whole year!"

You're John Lester's glove?

Eck is the most likeable color guy on tv, imo. He's full of stories like that one. It would be cool to buy him a half dozen beers and listen to him talk for an evening...

Cheers!

Looks great Paul.

Is that where you finally decided to bury all those bodies?

 

[revelation]

Rule #1 - do not bury the bodies on your own property. Wait for a convenient public works project.

 

[day_trippr]

Bruins score with .8 seconds left in the game to best a good San Jose team. Great win!

Hopefully the Sox can follow suit...

Cheers!

[edit] BIG PAPI STRIKES AGAIN!!

[edit2] Too bad, Lackey deserved better, but Breslow managed to croak any chance of a win. Make up game Saturday night!

 

[jrgtr42]

Well, last night the Sox won it on Cards errors, tonight the Cards won on Sox errors.
Though I don't really know that the one on Salty should have been called an error; it wasn't a good throw at all.
Cards pitchers were clutch, other than the one mistake to Ortiz.
On to St Louis we go...

 

[paulthenurse]

Another tough loss for Lackey (insert grumpy scowl here)

meh... I've seen better.

meh... I've seen better.

How many times in your life have woman said that to you?

 

[Cape Brewing]

No

 

[Cape Brewing]

Grabbing a sandwich for lunch and a Cards fan, obviously from out of town... Got the Freedom Trail Guide and everything... Just ordered a meatball sub with tomatoes and ranch dressing.

What...... the...... FCK!?!?

 

[paulthenurse]

No lettuce?

He's going highbrow.

 

[paulthenurse]

You should introduce him to the finest of Boston gastronomic excellence and offer him a bite of your deep fried schwine. One bite and his taste buds would be forever changed.

 

[Cape Brewing]

Let it go Paul. It was three years ago. It's time to move on.

... and I don't have to move on... you turn your pig into pork jerky every year still

 

[Cape Brewing]

Freakin' nasty... and just for clarrification, this was a meatball sub that already had red sauce and provolone on it.

That doesn't actually sound edible to anyone does it?

 

[paulthenurse]

Actually the last two pigs I've done have been the best ever. I've been tweaking the brine time and ingredients. An extra half a day and the eye of a newt and the left leg of a bat make an unbelievable difference.

 

[paulthenurse]

We're pretty provincial around here. I mean I used to think that only an animal would ever put anything other than mustard on a hot dog. Ketchup was allowed until you turned 6, then it was time to man up. If you were feeling wild you would put some sour kraut on. Chili and cheese? Only if you were falling down drunk.

Then I spent a weekend in Chicago. Farkin' A!!!! Those Chicago dogs were farkin' great!

Maybe he's got something there? Ranch dressing on a meatball sub?


Nah!!!! He's a farktard!
