Cowboys and Rams won. I'm happy so far.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) This is pretty impressive http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/multime...ent_id=17960703 Oh my god, I didn't realize that sign said "400" until just now. I thought it was hit to right-center, and figured the fence there was like 370 or so. That HR must have gone almost 500 ft, or at least 470.

Holy s***.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 03:12 PM) I umpired almost every game when my son was playing Pinto ball (umpire two games and you get your parent fee back...but I was a sucker and umped them all). I liked to be all dramatic. On strike three, I'd point at the kid with my left hand and say "You're outta here, you little bastard!" while I made a punching move with my right hand. Usually the kid would start crying, and I'd toss him and tell him to sit down and think about being a man. The coach would then come out and start yelling. So I'd toss him, too. Oh god sir, you, are the man.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 09:49 PM) Some fascinating quotes by his teammates in this article http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,4215921.story I like Soriano ripping in to Z.

Viciedo with 2 more walks. He now has 10 BB to 4 K in his last 10 games. Snodgress with another nice outing. His past 8 IP he has allowed 8 hits, 1 ER, 2 BB, 9 K.

Love the onion.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 08:30 AM) No one listens to me. Since getting sent down, here are his lines. 2.2 IP, 2 ER. 3.1 IP, 1 ER, 4 BB. 3.2 IP, 4 ER 5 IP, 1 ER 7 IP, 4 ER. Really doesn't look like a guy I'd call ready to jump 2 levels. Nope, it just looks like a guy who is easing back in to a starting job after being relegated to a relief spot where he only appeared twice in 3 weeks or so.

So.....are we destined to finish 81-81?

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 12:44 AM) He sure has been drawing a lot of walks lately. Compared to last year... wow. I can imagine the conversation with Viciedo..... "Well kid, you sure can hit the f*** out of the ball, and your glovework in the OF is sufficient enough with that arm, but until you learn how to take a walk, you will never succeed in the bigs, so don't expect a call up soon." "Ok, coach, I'll work on it." ***triples his walk rate, decrease his K rate just for fun*** "Uhh.....maybe in September"

Reed hasn't been great his past 2 outings. Rienzo with a couple dominating starts now. Last 10 innings he has allowed 4 hits, 0 ER, 1 BB, 11 K.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 03:12 PM) Conan has been damn good too. Surprised that the ratings have been that awful. Well, because it's on TBS. I am a huge Conan fan and watched him at least 4 nights a week on NBC, but on TBS I don't even remember to catch him once a week. I've probably only seen 5 or 6 episodes this summer. TBS is just not a channel I watch very often.

I just saw this about an hour ago. So fake, but really cool.

I have to believe it's Adam Dunn, based on history and that he will get significantly more chances to.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 06:33 AM) Terriers. FX did a terrible job of marketing that show. Oh yeah, forgot about that one. Terriers was a real good show.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 12:33 AM) It's actually about 5%. Their website says 6.9%

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 12:11 AM) I highly, highly doubt Morel will ever hit more than 15 hrs in a season and that might even be stretching it. He hit 16 in 2009, and 13 in 2010. I think he is completely capable of hitting 15 HR. 20 may be his max.

lol.....uhh........ The Black Donnelly's.
