Bad bad bad. I loved Mike Cameron too, but his 30 HRs was a career high; he'd never reached 30-30 in the same season, hadn't reached 30 steals since 2002. Plus the $$ saved, which (if we believe what's been said) was important to us getting Delgado.

    Edgy DC wrote: Victor Diaz has slugged .350 for the Tides this year. It looks like a Milledge return, but other possible callups are Michael Tucker, and... Edgardo Alfonzo. If Victor's .350 isn't useful enough, I can't see what Edgardo's 8-for-41 (only 1 extra base hit) is going to do for us.

    Beat me by a second, Yancy. Either that or "great minds..."

    I think this also increases the chances of Mr. Floyd being back next year.

    I forgot the other great moment from yesterday: Can't remember the context, but something came up about the idea of "women staying at home, cleaning, cooking" or stereotypes to that effect. Keith: "No comment." Gary: "Good job."
  12. Gwreck
    Not a good day for Keith yesterday. A pretty big geography slip-up (see the 7/30 IGT). Gary and Chris talk about how Adam LaRoche suffers from ADD and it's been tough at times for him since reaching the majors. Keith: "They've got names for everything now, don't they?" Gary: [says nothing, dead silence, for 5-10 seconds]

    ="Elster88"]="Gwreck"]Attention Keith Hernandez: Missouri is surrounded by Eight states, not five. Tennessee is surrounded by just as many. How in the world did this topic come up? It came out of a discussion regarding whether the Braves would be able to keep their attendance up even if their performance goes down. I think Gary characterized Atlanta as "more of a football and NASCAR town." Chris Cotter noted that Atlanta had become a regional team, drawing from Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, etc. Keith then went on to say that St. Louis was like that, because, "it's the only state surrounded by five others." He then goes on to name them -- Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Nebraska, and Arkansas (getting the last one with help from Gary). Gary seemed impressed. Only problem? Missouri is indeed the state surrounded by the most number of other states -- tied with Tennessee -- but that number is 8, not 5. He forgot Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa. There are several other states "surrounded by 5 others" including Illinois and Massachusetts.

I thought it added some pizazz and excitement, mixed stuff up and probably woulda been directly responsible for several 8 or 9 game winning streaks so far. I thought it was a great idea. I think there were a couple of people though who either didn't realize that was the policy or weren't online enough to start the IGTs for consecutive games.

I'll admit to knowing crap all about architecture, but isn't this Potter Stewart reasoning (ie. "I don't know what pornography is, but I know it when I see it")?
