1.  I'm going to assume it's a batting out of order call.   That's the only logical explanation I can come up with.
2.  Has to be a baserunning gaffe.  Maybe a couple of them.

Kids are stupid.  The coaches need to do better.

Would you believe I'm really surprised you didn't get the first one?  Maybe you need more coffee this morning.

1)  Runner on second with two outs.  Pitcher comes in and gets two swinging strikes on the batter.  The catcher drops the second strike, the runner takes off for third and is thrown out to end the inning.  Same batter starts the next inning with a fresh count and swings and misses at the first two pitches.  Four pitches to the same batter, all swinging strikes, yet he's not out and is still batting.

2)  Runner on third with no outs.  Ball four is a passed ball.  Runner on third breaks for home and is thrown out (catcher to pitcher) at the plate.  Meanwhile, the batter who walked takes off for second while the play is being made at home.  He's thrown out (pitcher to SS).  A double play on a walk.  Never saw that before.

I don't drink coffee.  But, yeah, a baserunner ending the inning should have occurred to me.

how come you don't drink coffee? did you ever (regularly)?

when a guy who is not 27 yet is injured big time (worthy of a 60 day dl stint), do his projections stay the same as before and just his current ratings take a hit?

I worked three jobs for about 6 months(9-5 regular job M-F, janitor job every day for 60-90 minutes and 7 days a week at a convenience store 11 PM - 7 AM) a long time ago.  I slept about 3 hours a day and lived on coffee/Nodoz.  Lost any desire for coffee after that.

Just his current ratings.

I haven't posted in this thread fort a while...have you missed me?

I didn't realize this was a thread fort.   I'm not even sure what that is.

Are you proud that you apparently have perfect typing skills?
7/9/2011 12:35 PM
It's not perfect typing skills.  It's proof-reading before hitting send.    Americans, in the general sense, are lazy.    People say "It's just a message board."  Which it obviously is but we, as a people, say "just a...." far too often.   It's just an excuse for laziness.

could it also be an excuse for tiredness??  It was 1:57 AM

Could be.   I'd be more accepting of drunkness though.   If you're too tired to read what you're posting, you're too tired to post.

I'm getting an unsolicited offer from another company that's better money, but not life changing money, and I get the sixth sense that the job will suck.

Money, or happiness?
7/10/2011 8:41 AM
Happiness.  Of course, that's always easier to say if you have a few dollars in your pocket.
7/10/2011 8:42 AM
Do you have any superstitions that you adhere to?
