I don't have the time to list the things 'tardcomm hasn't heard of.

do you have time to list the things he has heard of?

I do.  But it's mostly related to his homosexual activity and I'd probably get banned for posting it.

How does playing time equate when developing relief pitcher? If he only sees one inning a game, would that limit his growth? Or would simply appearing in the game suffice?

That's an interesting question which I can't 100% answer with certainty.  It's my belief that a player can only play as much as his DUR or STM allow him to play(or pitch).  To me, if a guy capable of 40 innings at 100% pitches 40 innings, you've done all you can do to develop him.  I've never had any trouble developing RP using this as my guide but, quite possibly, maybe I needed to throw him 70 innings even if that meant risking him to injury at 63%.

Felt in a baseball mood tonight, so I thought I'd watch some of the "classic" games on the cable sports channels.

"Mets Classics" on SNY tonight . . . Game 5 of the 1986 NLCS, with color commentary by Timbo McCarver.
"Yankees Classics" on YES tonight . . . Game 5 of the 1996 WS, with color commentary by Timbo McCarver.

Should I just stick my head in the oven and turn the gas on to high?

While I would never discourage you from such an act, you could just turn down the sound and listen to music while watching the game.

Do you have any advice to help heal the growing rift between Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus?

Time heals all wounds.   I think it's pretty standard for teenagers to rebel against their parents.  Even more so when the teenager is a Hollywood brat.

Who is playing with fewer cards in their deck this week: Charlie Sheen or Moammar Gadhafi?

Just heard Sheen went off on his producer.  I think the Libyan dictator is playing all his cards to save his dictatorship.  So, my math says "Sheen". 

Foxsports.com columnist goes after Al Davis.

What's MikeT's take?

That the Foxsports.com columnist should worry about his business and not Al's.   Al's earned his own money.   If he wants to spend it, it's his business.   This isn't a communist country.  Yet.

Would people click on his articles to read about his business?

No.  That's why the columnist should be happy that Al is spending money like a drunken sailor on shore leave.  Otherwise, he'd have to talk about Melo to the Knicks for the 87th day in a row.
