Pretty damn impressive! 3-run HR to LF. http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?content_id=27547563 2-run HR to RF. Appears to be a bomb, based on his reaction and the RF's reaction. http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?content_id=27519091

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 12:55 PM) That's hilarious. Is that the blowjob guy? No. My roommates were girls. The blowjob guy is my best friend, never my roommate.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 03:49 PM) North America is so freaking fantastic. How does it compare to Planet Earth and Life?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 3, 2013 -> 10:50 PM) 3-3 with 3 bombs tonight. The last one I really hit hard and smacked the side of the church at Pulaski park. Now Thursday ill roll em over to third. I just don't understand how people can hit HR's all the time, or in my case, at all. Are you like 6'3?? Do you have a $300 bat? Are your fences 275 feet? Are your softballs filled with rubber? It just baffles me. In our league, we play 2 games a night, and we will see maybe 1 HR combined between the two teams, in 2 games.

Orphan Black season finale was good. Definitely going to stick with it for S2. It was a sci-fi show, but not TOO sci-fi. A guy growing a tail through stem-cell technology was about the weirdest thing. Starting on S2 of Hell on Wheels, need to catch up on tonight's episode of The Borgias, and just watched the pilot of Ripper Street. BBC America has some pretty solid shows.

I really want to be at the point of rooting for losses (thus, a better draft position), but with the Sox still only a week's worth of game's back, it's hard to not root for a comeback when the season isn't even halfway over.

Not a very nice welcome to High-A for Cose. But nice to see him get the promotion anyhow.

6 more!

So my best friend was on TV a LOT today, and just made Deadspin.....for all the wrong reasons. http://deadspin.com/wrigley-field-home-of-...owjob-510947303 To be clear, my friend is the one GETTING domed off. All 3 of us used to play on a softball team together, but the guy giving the fake BJ is a real "blow hard".

We need Beckham to put a boot up everyone's asses.

Oh I see, Gillaspie HAS to bat 3rd, because lefties already occupy the 1st, 5th, and 7th spots in the lineup, and we all know you are not allowed to bat two lefties in a row. So Gillaspie is in the 3-hole. Got it.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 2, 2013 -> 12:49 PM) Alejandro De Aza LF, Alexei Ramirez SS, Conor Gillaspie 3B, Dayan Viciedo DH, Adam Dunn 1B, Casper Wells RF, Jordan Danks CF, Tyler Flowers C, Tyler Greene 2B Conor Gillaspie our #3 hitter??!?!?!?!? Hmmmm......

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 2, 2013 -> 12:34 PM) Dewayne Wise on the DL with a hamstring. Jordan Danks recalled. The brothers are on the 25-man for the first time. Time to start busting out the Jor. Danks and Joh. Danks jerseys.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 2, 2013 -> 01:21 AM) I'm rooting for the Pens. I freaking hate Bostonians, some of the most arrogant fans in sports. I'd normally agree, because I hate Boston fans in every sport, but I really do fear the Pens. Boston doesn't scare me for whatever reason.

Semien starting to heat it up. Up to .279 with .380 OBP. Rangel Ravelo continues to hit. Hitting .386 at W-S. Still needs to show some pop though, especially for a 1B.

HSINARP. Why can everyone else see that but, not Ventura/Coop?

Phegley, 2/4, 2B Leesman, dominant. 6 IP, 4H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K Decent start for Jaye. 7 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 5 K

Finally got off the snide yesterday. Went 3/7 with a double. Still only hitting .214 on the year. Yuck.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 29, 2013 -> 11:51 AM) I'd walk in 20 runs. I hate that position. What's this t-ball bat league all about? Guys have to use a t-ball bat. Girls can use whatever they want.

Oh my god, it's such a relief to get this win. I've waited far too long for the Hawks to have a chance to win it all!

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 29, 2013 -> 12:42 PM) I'm torn. I feel like teaching that show a lesson by not watching it. But I'm a sucker for murder mysteries. And I loved the Holder character. Linden, meh, I could do without her. Yep. I probably won't watch it until I hear from you guys that it's good. That Larsen case was such a kick to the nutsack.

I enjoy pitching when I played in a co-ed league the last few summers, where guys had to use t-ball bats. I could strike out 3-7 batters a game, field 5-6 balls a game, snag a few line drives. But in my men's league, I'd ship my pants pitching. Those guys hit A-bombs and I'd close my eyes and turn my face on any ball hit up the middle.

I set up our Mac Mini today at work. I have to say, I still hate Apple and everything about them, but it is pretty incredible they are able to make the Mac Mini "tower" that small. The only thing I like about Apple computers is how compact they can make them. The downside of that size is obviously not being able to build or swap in your own parts, or do things like add a second drive or what have you, but it's pretty cool.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 28, 2013 -> 10:16 AM) I'm still one episode behind, but this season...I dunno. Not as engaged as I was in season 2. Probably a good call on ending it now. See, I actually thought that S3 has been the strongest so far. I've been really entertained, although there have been a LOT of short storylines all season. The only overarching storyline has been Katarina Sforza plotting to kill the Pope and his family.
