So I am unoriginal and unfunny. Please put me out of my misery got up really early today. This is part of I am unoriginal and unfunny. Please put me out of my misery's schtick and it is what I have to bear.
Sitting at the end of my bed, munching a bagel and still nursing a morning erection ("what?? I haven't peed yet!!!"), I am unoriginal and unfunny. Please put me out of my misery began the day with a rousing "DUDE IT IS ON!!! O-N ON!!!!"
I looked down the bed and saw I am unoriginal and unfunny. Please put me out of my misery dressed completely in Green and White, with his retro Harold Carmichael jersey on.
"Dude, what are you doing?"
"Sunday dude. FOOOOOOTBALLLLLL!!!!! E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!!!!!!"
I sat up. This was a serious miss.
"Listen. Good thought. Your head is in the right place, but listen, the Raiders are playing on the road, they suck, and they have Norv Turner as their coach. I am not saying you aren't needed - you are always needed - but maybe you focus on the baseball today."
For a moment, I am unoriginal and unfunny. Please put me out of my misery appeared hurt. Confused. But then he brightened up with a quick "so the same thing.......only.......uhhhh......with baseball. Right?"
"That would probably be best."
7 hours later, as David Akers crumpled to the ground following the arduous task of, you know, ummm......kicking a freaking football......I am unoriginal and unfunny. Please put me out of my misery turned to me, shrugged "Hey dude, I'm on baseball. What?"
Don't question I am unoriginal and unfunny. Please put me out of my misery. Don't f*ck with I am unoriginal and unfunny. Please put me out of my misery.
I will post for two more games and then I will stop. If I am needed again, I will return. So be it. I do not ask why. I am the stopper. That is my role.

If the Yankees win, it doesn't matter.
If the Yankees lose, it doesn't matter.
Who gives a fuck about the Indians?
It matters if the Sox win.
So do it.

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Get 'er done Curt.
All we need to do is win.
Unless we are two games up going into the Yankee series we still need to take 2 out of 3 to win the division.
Don't worry about the pinstripes, let the other birds take care of them.

IMO, Wells is gonna go if he has to borrow Rog's mom's wheelchair. Sounds like somebody we know - somebody who asked for a procedure the doc had only tried on a DEAD GUY before.
Ok, Grampa Charlie was right about Wells - he got it on, eh?
Let's see how we can support the guy with that ankle scar tonite, eh?

9/26/05-- Jose Goes For 13-2
(Note: Ookami's Keys to the Game? With four KEYS rather than three? What, is this like the razor wars? Is Jose going to have to produce a column with five KEYS that also vibrates next?)
It’s time for Jose Melendez’s KEYS TO THE GAME.
1. So it turns out that Red Sox wins in critical games can heal the sick, or at least keep them from going to the doctor, which is almost as good. A couple of Red Sox fans did a highly technical study that reveals that during the key victories of the 2004 American League Championship Series, emergency room visits to metropolitan Boston hospitals were down 15 percent from what one would normally expect. Presumably, the legislature will begin to look at mandating Red Sox post season appearances as a way to reduce spiraling health care costs.
The study does not discuss the reasons why emergency room visits decline in these situation but competing theorists have already begun to drum up explanations. On one side are empiricists, who argue that we need to track emergency room patients on a normal October night, versus those on a game night and analyze the conditions of the various patients. Their hypothesis is that people with non-life threatening ailments simply don’t go to the emergency room during playoff games. If this hypothesis is accurate, the non-game nights will show many more patients with minor infections, broken bones and the like. On the other side, are religionists, who believe that a just and merciful God will strike down far, far fewer people during critical playoff games than at other times, because forcing too many people to miss crucial games with illnesses would cause people to debate whether God is indeed just and good.
Jose tends to the empirical approach, and he has anecdotal evidence to make his case. As you may recall, Jose came down with a nasty infection in his left (note: non-throwing) elbow sometime after Game 4 of the ALCS last year. At first, he thought he’d just bruised it badly, but as the swelling increased, the pain intensified and the skin turned a fiery red it became clear that something was seriously wrong. Jose feared that if he went to the doctor they would put him in the hospital and cause him to miss the Red Sox’s historic comeback—that risk was unacceptable. So what did Jose do? He postponed urgently needed medical care.
Dr .Alasdair Conn, the ER (note: emergency room, not Edgar Renteria… hopefully) chief at Massachusetts General Hospital told the Globe “I have no idea where the patients go, but they don’t come to the emergency room. It’s as if when they look at the TV and see what’s happening, they say, ‘My infected lung, it’s not so bad.’” Jose was the guy with the infection making that decision, and even though he ended up in the emergency room the day after Game7, he knows it was the right one. Had his elbow been turning Yankee blue, rather than Boston red, then maybe he would have gone in.
And that brings us to today. All over New England, emergency room doctors are planning time off as the Sox enter the stretch run back in a tie for first place after a three game sweep of Baltimore. And Jose? To be honest, the left elbow is hurting a little bit (note: probably the result of inadvertently catching the edge of a car door on the funny bone), but he isn’t going anywhere. The only way he, or anyone who cares about this team, is going to end up in the hospital right now is on the verge of death. (Note: With the exceptions of Keith Foulke, Adam Stern and Wade Miller.)
2. As long as we’re dealing with the science of baseball, we might as well discuss Dr. Eric Leskowitz’s column in today’s Globe entitled “Can ‘Weird Science’ Save the Sox?” Leskowitz, a psychiatrist at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital raises the issue of how energy medicine and nonlocal phenomena may influence baseball games. (Note: Would that mean Craig Hansen or Jonathan Papelbon? Whereas Manny Delcarmen is a local phenomenon.)
The first phenomenon he discusses is how positive or negative thoughts directed at one by other people can actually change one’s brain waves. In other words when, Jose and friends sit at Fenway Park thinking Alex Rodriguez is going to strike out here, it actually increases the likelihood that A-Rod will strike out. Basically, when taken in total, Red Sox fans are the like famed X-Men founder and telepath Professor Charles Xavier. (Note: This is important as the X-Men are headquartered in Westchester County and therefore may well be Yankee fans. On the upside, a powerful telepath named Emma Frost a.k.a The White Queen runs another school for mutants out in the Berkshires called the Massachusetts Academy, so presumably she can help the Sox. Sure she’s an evil mutant, but one can’t be picky in a pennant race.)
Another phenomenon he discusses is evidence that directed positive thoughts can actually change the crystalline structure of water molecules near by. What effect this has on whether various Yankees will cry when we eliminate them is, however, unclear.
But that’s where the good doctor starts to go off the deep end. Jose didn’t read the rest of the article, but he’s pretty sure that Dr. Leskowitz suggests that specific physical locations can carry the imprint of prior human experiences thereby effecting new events there. Presumably this leads to the conclusion that Fenway was built by aliens much like, Stonehenge, the Easter Island statues and the Arby’s in Waltham. This is, of course, absurd, as everyone knows that Fenway was built my druids as either some sort of calendar or a temple where they would sacrifice relief pitchers to appease angry gods.
3. According to an ad in the Boston Globe today for Glaceau Vitamin Water, Kevin Millar is on pace to break the single season major league Vitamin B level. (Note: After reading that Rafael Palmeiro accused teammate Miguel Tejada of giving him a Vitamin B pill which caused his positive steroid test, Jose would have guessed that an Oriole would be on the verge of setting the record.) Millar, the ad reports, is poised to break the record after drinking the enriched beverage for the 24th consecutive post game. In related news, new studies show a correlation between consuming B Vitamins and the loss of power and bat speed. This comes on the heels of studies showing that fried chicken has a similar effect.

The only good thing about "Ookami's Keys to the Game" is the line that preceeds it.
Nice Keys Jose. One nit to pick, the Vitamin B delivery alleged in the steroid scandle was via injection.
Continue with the winning please.

For the record, this guy must not spend all that much time in the ER per se or he is denying that ERs have become the primary care provider for a huge portion of our population.
Residents clamber to do ER on holidays because the kid with the 100 degree fever isn't brought in by his mom on Thanksgiving, but her decision path on June 30th is significantly different.
Now listen, if I am Alasdair Conn or anyone working underneath him, I am trying to portray the image of an ER doc that one sees on the show "ER." If people think I use the paddles on folks 3-4 times a day and yell "20 CCs of penzolate barbuthal stat!" then I can get more pussy. So I get it. But hey, don't act like this is new stuff numbnuts.

The beaches are dirty,
And the people are mean!

London sucks and the Great Lakes suck,
And Sarnia sucks and Turkey Point sucks!
I took a trip to Ontario to visit Brian Mulroney!
He beat me up and he stole my pants
And he put me in a tree!
I went to see the Maple Leafs
And got hit in the head with a puck.
"Uh I don't even know how they did it . . . I mean, I was playin' the organ at the time!"
(And Alan Thicke sucks!)
Ontario . . . oh-oh-oh sucks.
"Come to think of it, I pretty much hate every gosh darn province and territory in our country!"
"Well except Alberta!"
"Oh yeah, of course I love Alberta! Lot's of cows, rocks, trees and dirt . . . mmmmoo moo moo!"
But . . . I hate Newfoundland 'cause they talk so weird
And Prince Edward Island is . . . too small.
Nova Scotia's dumb 'cause it's the name of a bank;
New Brunswick doesn't have a good mall!
Quebec is revolting and it makes me mad!
Ontario sucks . . . Ontario sucks.
"Manitoba's population density is 1.9 people per square kilometre! Isn't that stupid?!"
Saskatchewan is boring and the people are old!
And as for the territories . . .
They're too cold!
"And the only really good thing about the province of British Columbia is that it's right next to us!"
'Cause Alberta . . . a-a
Doesn't suck!
But Calgary does . . . !

Weather.com predicts thundershowers between 5 pm and 3 am. Doesn't look good for tonight. Baltimore has thundershowers starting now and going until 1 am.
I believe I read a study somewhere that suggested that a doubleheader was significantly more likely to end in a split than two games played on consecutive days. Does anyone else remember such a thing? That may have been acceptable earlier in the season, but we need every freaking game right now. We want to get this one in tonight.

9/26/05-- Jose Goes For 13-2
(Note: Ookami's Keys to the Game? With four KEYS rather than three? What, is this like the razor wars? Is Jose going to have to produce a column with five KEYS that also vibrates next?)
I was only doing a keys because there was a fearful poster who thought that a Keys was necessary for victory. In your absence, I stepped up. I will continue to post my 4 pronged keys so long as we win.
However a vibrating Keys may well shut me up.

I think you're misinterpreting him. He's not denying that at all. How could he? Christ, everybody knows ERs have become the family doctor for many. That was one of the points made - that patients who can wait DO wait if the Sox are on. Real emergencies cannot wait.For the record, this guy must not spend all that much time in the ER per se or he is denying that ERs have become the primary care provider for a huge portion of our population.
The decline in visits -- and the assumption that the patients who deferred care were those whose conditions were not true emergencies -- illustrates a long-recognized reality in emergency medicine: For many patients, especially those without insurance, the ER is where they go for basic medical services
Also, if you were "working underneath Alasdair Conn", he'd probably rather have you portray a naughty nurse.
So are they going to get this game in?

A possible saving grace of a DH tomorrow is having Wake going. He can eat innings assuming he's pitching decently. You hope game 1 of any possible DH is game that MDC, Harville, etc can safely pitch in.

A DH tomorrow hurts us big time when it comes to the MFY series. We'd be forced to pitch either Schill or Wakes on short rest on Saturday. Let's get this one in.

he was just talking about how intense all the fans are right now.
He mentioned that he read a poster on SOSH bitching about how the teams playing the spankees are bending over and applying the lube for them.
more or less

Not a lot. He used SoSH to illustrate the point that Sox fans are as obsessed as ever. During one recent game - he had not been watching or listening and did not yet know the score - he clicked on SoSH to see people here very upset that we were a few runs behind in the 4th inning. He threw up his hands in amazementWhat is he saying? We aren't all watching/listening.

Ryan, DeSarcina, and TC were being silly and I admit I had to laugh too. They were discussing the possibility that a Cleveland collapse (however unlikely) could lead to the Red Sox and Yankees both clinching on the same day. What a scene, imagining Joe and Terry clinking glasses, players congratulating eachother - hugs all around.

I did a study a while back (and probably posted the results on the Bosox list) using Retrosheet data from 1900-2000 with the following results:I believe I read a study somewhere that suggested that a doubleheader was significantly more likely to end in a split than two games played on consecutive days. Does anyone else remember such a thing? That may have been acceptable earlier in the season, but we need every freaking game right now. We want to get this one in tonight.
