They are starting to drain the tarp and Contreras is heading towards the bullpen.l

Joe Cowley must now be known as "Dirty Joe".

Still raining in Baltimore, no one warming up yet.

Radar suggests probably about 30 minutes before the skies truly clear above baltimore, give or take 10.

QUOTE (TLAK @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 04:12 PM) Rongey, Cowley, Farmer and Jackson in rain delay theater are very funny. Unusually good radio for WSCR. "What could you possibly have done to or with a pinball machine that you can't talk about?"

Roger Clemens gets his own Steroid abuse book. A part of the excerpt I found fascinating:

Appears to be a line of storms moving through, might go somewhat quick based on what it's currently doing.

The game is now listed on the internets as on a rain delay. Bah, I'm going for a snack.

Let's hope Jose can start to find that groove we know he can get in to a little bit.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 03:20 PM) I wasn't aware of that. Makes no sense at all. Yes it does, they're non-union.

I really wish this game was started already.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 12:43 PM) LOL, even an obvious joke is corrected by Balta Did you really think I could resist?

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 01:13 PM) MAN, is there big dropoff after Markakis.... Did you see the #'s that Aubrey Huff put up last season?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 12:57 PM) It will take Ozzie a while to figure out that Danks is the real ace probably longer than it took Quentin to finally get a shot last season. It took them 2 games to give Quentin the shot. They've been appropriately careful with Danks, trying to limit his innings and pitch count while he's still under 25. It's an intelligent thing to do.

First possibly official reviews I've seen, UK Daily Mail goes 5 stars for Star Trek. UK Times also loved it.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 11:57 AM) Maybe they were worried that his hair would increase global warming by creating a umbrella effect that would trap the heat in costa rica. Doesn't work that way. What you need to do is keep him away from the polar, ice-covered regions. He could be a weapon up there.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 11:16 AM) MacDougal and Carrasco are polar opposites as pitchers - how can anyone be like both of them? Former Royals.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 09:57 AM) he was probably deemed a flight risk That makes no sense. You can see his hair on Google Earth.

was at the Portage Denny's once at around midnight, we got our beverages, waited around like 45 minutes for the waiter to return, never put in an order for the meal, walked away without paying for the drinks. Closest I've come.

Hopefully his 2 seamer works well out of the pen. Getting a ground ball with 1 out and a man on 1st can be a game saver.

I got a kick out of this.

QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 08:14 PM) Actually Birmingham has quite a bit of pitching talent. (Including Poreda, Ely, Omogrosso, Harrell, Santeliz, Nunez...) They're 3rd out of 10 teams in the Southern League with a 2.85 team ERA. (The league leader has a 2.60. So the Barons are not that far from the top spot.) Don't they have a monster of a ballpark though?

Just based on what I've seen, Brian has a solid throwing arm, but had accuracy issues he needed to work on when he first came up, and he's been getting better and better at that.

This game was lost on the 32 second chance points the C's got.
