OTTOTD: 7/29

by kericr on Jul 29, 2009 10:13 AM EDT

So I've done two of these so far. One of them was rather successful as a good general purpose OT thread, one of them was done on Beherle's perfect game and pretty much flat-lined right out the gate. A daily OTTOTD doesn't really work because we just go off topic too often; but a thread for just random crap in general does seem to be good, so I'll continue to do these pretty much whenever I think there's something interesting that could use another thread.

Starter topic after the jump.

I don't have anything crude to say, but last night's game was great.

Awesome seeing Kaz pitch well in person again. Every other game I’ve been to where he’s the mound has been terrifying this season.

Swisher is the Yankee’s Jonny Gomes.

Last night was just an all-around fun game to watch

offense was good, Kazmir was great, the Yankees D was comical. What else can one ask for.

How did it even start?

All I saw was frat boy in the blue shirt yelling at the Yankees fan, and then the Yankees chick getting in his face, which put it over the top.

I hope the frat boy was you. If that’s the case, nice job hiding behind your girlfriend.

It wasn't involved in any way. It was behind and to the right of me.

The girl I was with was too busy laughing at all the guidos and skanks in the Party Deck.

I'd mock all the douche bag Yankee fans who unequivocally live up to the guido-New Jersey stereotypes, but

the Rays fans have some classy folk in their own right. There were some people behind me last night who I don’t think had ever watched a baseball game before, considering one of the guys referred to A-Rod as “Oh, that’s the guy that fucked Madonna, right?”

by Suttree on Jul 29, 2009 1:34 PM EDT up reply actions

Ya I heard some Rays fan sitting right behind me

tell his wife and I quote “This guy is the best player in baseball” whenever Jeter came up to bat. F’n R’tard

Last night was fun

in a I want to scratch my eyes out for putting myself through it. I was really hoping to wake up to the sound of at least Lee being called a Ray.

recap though if no one wants to go through that whole thread. M’s fans/writers pretty much sure that Clement is going to be traded and that Aaron Pribianic (08 3rd rd pick, 1 HR allowed in 87 innings) Depending on how much you trust PI and the guy over there (which the guys on LL seem to think he knows what he is talking about this time) the deal involves 5 players and he emphasized that Seattle is not selling. He also said that a deal for Kazmir and Brignac is a definate possibility (but anyone could have said that)

my thoughts/hopes is that this is indeed a Clement/Morrow/Pribianic for Kaz/Brignac deal and we turn that into Lee/Martinez, prolly by throwing in Davis.

Yeah so Timmy made an appearance at the Rascal Flatts concert

And unless you’ve been living under a rock he is still the big V. In that regard he’d fit right in with this crowd.

Discuss

Starbury TV is what happens when any sense of restraint has been removed, when a person decides he has nothing better to do with his life than rant into a webcam.

“I’m doing me!” Marbury keeps repeating, usually adding a melody and dance. “I’m doing meeeeeee!”

Apparently that now entails eating Vaseline and breaking down in tears in the middle of a prayer. He justified his behavior by saying it was more interesting to watch than someone who just sits around doing nothing. “I’m entertaining to people,” Marbury said. “You watch entertaining things.”

Pitch Counts w/ Hickey Quotes

LINK

“We have a new wave of general managers who are deeply into mathematics, analysis, metrics — I’m not saying it’s wrong — because that’s what they charted in the minor leagues,” said Rays pitching coach Jim Hickey. “I don’t know the numbers, but the new wave of GMs are the ones who have charted that the chance of injury is, say, greater at 85 pitches than it is at 75. And with every five-pitch increment, there’s a 22.8 percent more likely chance that someone gets hurt. With each 10 extra pitches, it goes up by five percent.”

More Hickey

“The money has a lot to do with it,” Hickey said. “Sabathia throwing that many pitches on short rest would have never happened if he was in the middle of a six-year contract. But he was allowed to do that because he was going to be a free agent.”
