Ah, just back from a cleansing bike ride. Al knows it's hot here this weekend.

Indeed. I did stop-action animation films with 8mm when i was in high school. One of these days I gotta do one with a digital camera and my high school age son.

Just don't call your kid Gumby dammit.

Or Pokey

I almost made the comment that although he's a teenager, some days he does move fast enough where stop action animation is not required.

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Money Hunter. Surprised his brothers aren't Big Buck and Dog the Bounty.

 

[glasspusher]

Nice pitch there, Price.

 

[nvalvo]

Can someone explain the O's Tom Clancy patches to me?

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

How many runs do the Tigers need to bullpen proof it?

He was a minority owner

Really. This heat, but more important, the drought. Where is that El Niño?

Buck praising The Duke

Ahh. Thanks. 

 

[glasspusher]

 
He was a minority owner

 
That would explain the Minority Report
 
Edit: not quite, but I still think it's funny

So, what about a catcher's mask that has the thin frame, but still has the mass of an old style one, to better absorb impact, but with the mass more centered over the catcher's neck, so it doesn't fatigue them as much?

We'd rather talk about the definition of "fielding"

I'm with Potter Stewart on that one: "I know it when I see it"

 "tools of not quite as stupid as they used to be" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue

Why would anybody consider improving the catcher's mask?

Rub some dirt on it.

Roids work!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[soxhop411]

Wow.

 

[hbk72777]

Taking out the opposing team's catcher= brilliant

 

[JohntheBaptist]

Looks like Nelson Cruz has started feeling bigger than the game.

 

[soxhop411]

Exactly 330'

 

[Average Reds]

This entire series has me in a state of emotional conflict

Relax Herr Reds. It is only a game.

I'm no fan of Nelson Cruz or the Os but I'd have to say his offense this year would have more than made up for a dozen errors. Nothing a late inning defensive replacement couldn't fix.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Well that wraps up this series. I guess it was a good move not to pursue Cruz. Ticket the O's for the WS....I think I'm going to be sick.

 

[Average Reds]

Sorry, just trying to understand how to feel good about a Nelson Cruz home run.

 

[glasspusher]

Counting defensive outs left in the game in the 6th inning. Always a good idea.

 

[glasspusher]

Sorry, just trying to understand how to feel good about a Nelson Cruz home run.

 
Let me know what your analyst tells you. I'm trying my best to stay objective.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Sorry, just trying to understand how to feel good about a Nelson Cruz home run.

Just focus on who threw the pitch

 

[Average Reds]

Thanks Ben.

 

[fineyoungarm]

Don't worry about Price. He's lost plenty of big games.

 

[fineyoungarm]

An entire ballpark of people who live north of Eight Mile Road.

 

[Average Reds]

He does know how to come up small when it counts.

 

[glasspusher]

The Os are not following their winning strategy this game- beating up on the Tigers' bullpen.

 

[Average Reds]

I love Eck.

 

[fineyoungarm]

I love Eck.

The Red Sox should fund a 10 year $200,000,000 contract for him to do color for NESN 

 

[BornToRun]

He does know how to come up small when it counts.

But no one has more respect for the game. I bet he values that more than the ring he lost a shot at when Papi owned him last October.

They don't give big money to aging pitchers

Nice

OK, thus far, since 2006, the Tigers have only beaten two teams in postseason series: the As and the MFYs. Discuss.

 

[fineyoungarm]

It's time to call BS on McConaughy's Lincoln ad - unless he gets to use The Lincoln Lawyer out.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Since when is "efforting" a word? That's twice I've heard that idiot announcer use it. This on top of an NFL announcer use the term "time to hold their water" ..

 

[Remagellan]

The tigers are the anti-giants. Somehow they always find a way to lose in the postseason.
