According to Phil Rogers, Dusty Baker and Joe Maddon are "cut from the same cloth." Okay, Phil.

They do both have birthdays among many other similarities.

The Nats rotation is great, but the Dusty Playoff Coefficient brings it down to somewhere around beatable.

I'm reminded of Bobby Knight's quote: "I was worried about losing until I looked down the floor and saw Dale Brown. Then I knew we had a chance."

They say interesting things come in threes.

1. Dale Brown's initials are DB -- exactly the same as Dusty Baker. Both men also have a birthday.
2. Bobby Knight's initials are KB which are nearly the same as the initials of Chris Bryant (Bryant's are CB). Fun fact: Bryant's middle name is "Maas" as his father was a bandwagon Yankees fan.
3. Kylw Schawarber got his degree from Indiana University which is where Bobby Knight coached basketball. Scahwarber didn't play basketball but he did sit in many chairs. Knight was fired for throwing one such chair.</spooky>
3. Dusty Baker manages the Washington Nationals which is the same team Max Scherzer currently plays for.

Miguel Montero

Off to hang out with Kurt in Canadaland.

Just in time for the annual poutine pouting festival!

Fixed?

Voted KB because it *felt* like the Cubs hadn't scored a run in about a million years at that point.

I wouldn't have believed it after watching the first episode of this season, but I was genuinely sad to see Nikki Swango meet her demise. Getting to see Mr. Wrench finish the job in her stead was a nice consolation prize.

Between Burgle's little smirk at the end and the long cut of the hallway, I'm reading that as "Rikers and Snickers" although I suspect (like Mr. Wrench) it's not the last we'll see of Varga.

What a fantastic season of television.

Stephen Furst.

Thanks for the informative link.

The perils of being furst.

Really? Nobody is watching this season?

I was going to repeat one of the funnier lines but after that ending it probably wouldn't be appropriate.

I'm watching flannj but still haven't watched last week's episode.

Gloria Burgle can get it.

Yes she can.
How did you like the Peter and the Wolf theme?

The rest of you morans get with the program.

I've been watching. Really excited to see Mr. Wrench back tonight.

Bump for throwing picking off Pham at first (you read that correctly)

The Cardinals call of said pick off is the good stuff.

Fuck John Lackey.

This is the thread for annoying pissants from other teams we can't stand, you wanna hate properly on Lackey you dig in and set a barn on fire like a proper Desipiot.

Act like you've been here before, Fork. Damn.

Shit, if we had a thread for pound cake recipes, it would take three years and culminate with the invention of 'gingerbread barn brulee'. "Fuck John Lackey" would still be applicable there.

He was also very fond of Jorge and when that trade was made he basically ranted about how Davis was clearly hurt and Jorge was too valuable etc.

Yes, Jorge is such a durable baseball player. Hard to imagine him losing any time to injuries. How's he doing this year anyway?

Can we just never have Rondon pitch again in a high leverage situation?

I'm not on your team in what I assume is a softball league for terrible lawyers with terrible opinions, so I guess I don't really know why I'm getting a vote, but ... sure, that sounds good.

Robert Pirsig, 88.

I tried to read ZATAOMM once.  Admittedly, I was very young, but I distinctly remember it being a massive bunch of arse.

I had it assigned to me as a college sophomore and while maybe it was just young, good College Republican SKO's disdain for hippies that led me to this conclusion I can't remember it as anything other than pretentious gobbledygook.

All we need is TJ and Morph calling this book socialist bullshit and everyone will be completely living up to their Desipio stereotypes (archetypes?).

By the way, 20-something hippie/socialist Oleg loved every word of this book and had read it multiple times.

I would have to read it again now that I'm basically a radical leftist by Iowa standards but I feel like my hatred for it would still stand up.

Save yourself the trouble. I was "basically a radical leftist by Iowa standards" at the time of reading. It was pretentious gobbledygook.

Nope

If Zobrist or Baez get hurt, you don't think he gets the call?

Far be it from me to defend Pen, but nothing he said indicates that he doesn't think that. If they have a long term injury where just using La Stella to fill in isn't an option, sure, Happ will probably get the call, but if you think Theo and Jed aren't increasingly likely to trade Happ for pitching you just aren't paying attention.

"increasingly likely"? I'm pretty sure Happ or Eloy don't go anywhere unless a guy who can move into Jake's slot after this season comes the other way. They've loaded up with gambles in Iowa's rotation, they only need one to pan out.

5 homers through 8 games for Iowa.

It's going to suck to see him become a star for another team, but the front line starting pitcher he brings back should make up for it.

You're the guy who shares articles on facebook saying "WHY INNIT DA NEWS COVERING DIS?" while sharing an AP article, aren't you?

It's like ROTJ if Luke didn't show his dad mercy.
