PLZ SCOAR RUNZ FOR JAMES SHIELDS
"Where we all wait in earnest with pudding in hand for the Upton comet to sail through the roofed skies, so that we may meet Him."
Also, FishStripes has some rather interesting silly stuff:
Pena’s plunk was the 74th in the all time interleague series between the Marlins and Rays. Those two teams have plunked each other 23 more times than the next most plunk-filled interleague series. It’s also been the most lopsided, with the Rays having hit the Marlins 52 times, and the Marlins firing back just 22 times, including yesterday’s plunk of Carlos Pena.
"Where we all wait in earnest with pudding in hand for the Upton comet to sail through the roofed skies, so that we may meet Him."
Let me check the heater for the line up
Cause they actually post it, unlike you scrubs.
Upton, cf
Crawford, lf
Longoria, 3b
Pena, 1b
Zobrist, rf
Bartlett, ss
Iwamura, 2b
Navarro, c
Shields, p

I got lucky
The geosciences program at University of Copenhagen was looking for somebody to study the structure of the crust and upper mantle under Norway using this seismic data that they collected. That’s exactly what I do, and the timing works out well. It was either that or go work for Exxon in Houston, and I just can’t support the Astros.

This ain’t a song for the brokenhearted
No silent prayer for the faith departed
And I ain’t gonna be just a face in the crowd
You’re gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud
It’s my life
It’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I’m alive
(It’s my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, “I did it my way”
I just wanna live while I’m alive
‘Cause it’s my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow’s getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain’t even lucky, gotta make your own breaks
It’s my life
And it’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I’m alive
(It’s my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, “I did it my way”
I just wanna live while I’m alive
‘Cause it’s my life
You better stand tall
When they’re calling you out
Don’t bend, don’t break
Baby, don’t back down
It’s my life
It’s now or never
‘Cause I ain’t gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I’m alive
(It’s my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, “I did it my way”
I just wanna live while I’m alive
(It’s my life)
And it’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I’m alive

My heart is like an open highway

BRAH.
Brett Easton Ellis writes about as well as most creative writing college students. He’s funny, tells good stories, and carved out a niche for himself. Kinda like Stephen King. Not a great technical writer, but for all intents and purposes he tells a good yarn.
Say what you want about Dali, but I’m sure his paintings took a great deal more effort and thought than Ellis spent on American Psycho.
I disagree duder.
BEE is a good pulp writer. His sentences flow and he has a good feel for his characters. His flaw is in his shit philosophy. Doesn’t that sound familiar?
If I say that Dali was a tallented surrealist can we agree there? (Surrealism is shit fyi)

Fair enough.
I’m with you on Ellis.
As far as Surrealism and Dali goes… in general, I’m not in love with it, but there is a place for that sort of experimentation and creativity. It’s kind of like David Lynch. Is it annoying when someone’s bizarre for the sake of being bizarre? Sure, but sometimes it’s just god damned entertaining.
I don't agree with the Lynch - Dali comparison.
Lynch was doing interesting things with psychology in his great works (blue velvet being the great example)
Dali was taking verbal ideas and was like “lol, I bet it tangibly looked like this”

In terms of how people react to them, though?
The only people who like Dali and Lynch are critics, hipsters, and people who argue on the internet about them.
That's not true.
Dali fans are generally people ignorant of art history and progression. Critics tend to hate him.
You are right about Lynch though. I think critics are starting to not like him though

Depends what we're talking about.
Pretending the subject matter is revelatory? His tendency to relate anecdotes as hard evidence? I’ll concede on those points.
But, the man’s writing gives me a hard on.
He's a good writer, you'll get no argument here. Is he a better writer than Levitt? or Tom Frank? I don't know that that is true.

Fucking black Canadians.
As for versus Packer, Levitt, and Tom Frank… I prefer him to Levitt solely on writer ability. Better prose, better phrasing, more accessible, though it’s close. I think most economists and hard-core readers prefer Levitt because he does a better job of backing up his arguments with hard facts, but meh. As for Packer, most of his stuff I’ve read deals with Iraq, and is fantastic. A different ball park.
As for Simmons...
90% of his material sucks, and has sucked since 2003. However, everyone now and then he pumps out a column that is so fucking good, it makes me angry that he doesn’t do it more often.
The biggest problem with Simmons is he’s too old to be doing The Sports Guy thing. He was huge back in the day, but better, more entertaining, more modern bloggers have passed him as a source of sports comedy. If he escaped that role, I think he’d be appreciated a lot more. And as such, I’m really excited about his basketball book.

A really poor break-up slide hit Aki, he looks really hurt.
Then while he’s writing on the ground in pain, Baker decided he’d try to take home and got tagged out.

We need to get out of a save situation before that happens.

I know it sucks for us and all will jump on me, but other than the relative....
lateness of the slide, that is baseball. it is simply the timing of the fact the feed to aki got there just when the slide happened. is is not a dirty play. I’d rather get a damn win, then risk 20+ games of suspensions like last year in boston.

Then it seems fair that we should plunk a guy in return if that’s the brand of baseball being played.

no, because what baker did is what should be done. You take the risk of being out, but if you think
you can make it, you attempt to put your team in the lead late in the game
by ValricoBrian on May 24, 2009 4:20 PM EDT up reply actions
Alright
But in doing so, even if you are trying to put your team ahead, you’re running while there’s a man down (bush), and you have the slide previously.
Somebody needs get plunked, even if both plays were made because of the will to win.

1. The slide was bad, but it is part of baseball. That guy needs to learn some things, but I’m not truly mad at him.
2. Baker trying to score was total bush league.
I agree, but you still gotta hit him next time we see him

by Sandy Kazmir on May 24, 2009 4:27 PM EDT up reply actions
Why what?
Why were they both bush league or why was Wood’s more Bush?
Woods was more bush because of the timing and the fact that it was premeditate way in advanced and the fact that it came directly from the manager and was malicious in intent.
Neither one of the plays today were premeditated and neither was of malicious intention. They were still dishonorable and thus bush-league.
by BigBadBossman on May 24, 2009 4:29 PM EDT up reply actions
Throwing at a guy is not bush
Either is sliding hard. The BS with the lineup card was bush and delaying Cervelli’s career by demolishing him in a ST game is bush. I have no problem with what Wood and Coughlan did. And we have plenty of time to get our retribution out of Cleveland.
