Star-divide

(Written by R.J., not STP...)

When I was in high school being a Rays fan was less about being cool and more about being rebellious. I should clarify; rebellious in the sense that it was unique, like a unibrow. One event that stands out in my mind comes when I was dating a girl named Katie. She wasn't the biggest of Rays fans, but more than most because she didn't like baseball one bit. We were an odd couple, to say the least, but she understood that I had needs she simply could not satisfy.

We dated for about a month before that faithful night. It was the weekend before homecoming and a friend of mine was holding a party. Katie and I agreed to meet up there because I wanted to see the end of the Rays and Yankees game before arriving. The game lasted longer than I had anticipated and when I arrived Katie was nowhere to be found, at least until I went upstairs where she was cornered by a guy.


His hands all over her, much to her dismay, as she attempted to wiggle away from him while telling him to leave her alone. I rushed over and pulled him off. He immediately looked down at my shirt which featured the Rays insignia (these were the days of green) and decided to comment "She has low standards if she's willing to date a Rays fan."

I could not believe this guy was brave as to insult something I cherished that much right in front of me. I figured he would not be so daring as to say it twice. I asked him what it was he said. He repeated. I flew off the handle and grabbed him by his popped collar, throwing him against a wall.

"If you ever and I do mean ever say something like that again I will put you through this wall. The Rays will be good before you know it."

At this point he had a bewildered look on his face. "What about her?" he asked.
"Same for her, she knows her place."

By now most of the party had gathered around to see a fight or something, but much to their disappointment nothing happened publicly. Although the night did end in heartache for me as the Rays lost.

And Katie dumped me.

i really wish tRA was presented on the ERA scale: tERA

although you can just subtract .30 runs from tRA.

Not as obvious as if it said Patrick L. Kennedy

for multiple reasons.
1. He isn’t funny
2. He doesn’t have a girlfriend or likes girls.

I found this to be telling

From a Wake grad that works for the Durham Bulls and posts on the Wake Forest Message Board that may be the only place on the internet more than here, when some jackass that supposedly played ball against BJ in HS he responded w/ this (longest sentence ever):

BJ doesn’t have a bad attitude. I didn’t play on any team with him when he was 8 or whatever, but I did work with the guy for 3 years.

 

Very enjoyable to be around actually. Good person, good family, good work ethic. Would take ground balls at 9am.

So the E60 thing on the Rays is starting right now

Sequence of Events:

Everybody watches the game on TV, attendance is the typical 17k home crowd, nobody watches this.
ESPN sees low ratings for this show
ESPN broadcasts that this area doesn’t care about this team because nobody watched their special and nobody watched the game.

I won't draw this out with you

I won’t disagree that Walmart is worse than Target at how they treat their employees, but I don’t like it when people villianize walmart while heroically standing up for Target. Target is better. Barely.

You wanna buy stuff from a company that truely treats their employees well? then shop at CostCo.

I don't shop at any of them

I’m single, so it doesn’t make sense.

The thing about Wal-mart, though, is their hiring practices and the fact that they are telling their people that if they vote for Obama they will lose their jobs.

Yanks acquire CC + Tex; Joba and Hughes get healthy and reach their potential.

Other than that, it might be tough for them to be a top team year in and year out and still turn a profit.

J.P. Peterson said something smart today.

Something like:
“BJ is way too young to give up on. He gets to balls most cf don’t get to. His average is low, but his OBP is high. Don’t boo him. Take the mistakes, but remember the upside. He’s only 23 and in his 1st year in CF”

Two out hits

they did, we didn’t

by sternfan1 on Aug 26, 2008 8:06 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

two out hits win ballgames

there’s not much you can do to improve your chances of two outs hits, though.

So...

when will the Blue Jays offense get the memo that they’re the Blue Jays offense? Jesus. They’ve been playing like the damn ’27 Yankees lately.

He's a bit underrated.

I don’t see why he can’t be a starter, but I’m not sure it comes with us.

San Diego would be a good fit for him.

i sure hope the rays are as patient with niemann as they were with Ed Jackson...

just look at pelfrey…the mets were very patient with him and he’s turned into one of the best pitchers in the NL.

I'm not sure I see Davis making the team out of spring.

Touche

Amazingly deep gameplay and stats management, also a mode called MLB Life were you make a character and play in the majors (like Road to the Show in MLB 08, except cute) and you get to be friends with players. Here’s my friends list:

*Glover
*Wheeler
*Howell
*Kazmir

Kazmir goes to the movies all the time with me.
