Anything the Giants don't win is suspect and just wrong.

Watched an extended snippet of the Nats-Dodgers game.  Forgot how much Vin Scully sounds like some speech synthesizer.

The Minsky Moment

Timmy was right about Mike Piazza.

Latest study suggests that he was consistently above average in pitch framing, to the tune of 5-6 runs per year.  That would make up for any arm issues.

I think he is over the HOF line in any case but this just bolsters the case.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

I was right about him first.  Timmay Taint cannot hurt him.

So did Piazza turn out to be gay or no?

HE WAS NEVER GAY DAMMIT

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

There were some rather strong rumors.

That was just Mets hate.  It was all being generated from the Bronx.

Anyway, the Cardinals lost today so they only take 3 of 4 games vs. the Mets.  Reds just swept the Marlins :rolleyes: so all my Reds fan friends are giving me shit even though their team is still 1.5 games behind the Cards.

Giants hopefully break the losing streak tonight in Colorado.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I splurged & got mlb.tv premium for this month.  No native app for Google TV so I have to watch it through the browser.  Looks okay but my controls are obscured from view.  Runs great on Xbox, though Kinect thinks I'm trying to rewind or something whenever I reach for a beer.

This losing streak is just one kick in the balls after the next.

Holy shit, I've seen parts of the last few O's games but didn't realize they've lost 6 straight.  When the Cards go on a skid it gets so painful after the 4th straight loss I avoid looking at scores for a few days.
