  1. That breaking pitch seems like a hybrid. It's slider speed, but has something of a curve's drop.
  2. I missed it too. Vic Sage wrote: did you like it? It was no Judge Dredd.
  3. It's a shame the title of the movie is a whine. I mean, "There but for fortune..." It's true of all of us, to different extents. In "I Ain't Marching Anymore," he sings "I was there at Little Big Horn." I call bullshit on that one.
  4. Last week, the Jupiter Hammerheads shut out the St. Lucies over a doubleheader. Showing the resilient spirit of the parent club, the St. Mets paid the Jupes back in kind yesterday, sweeping two, 9-2 and 9-1 Getting the start in game two was Goodman John Church, who gave up a run in the first inning and shut them down the rest of the way. Seven innings pitched, one earnie, five hits, one walk, and no strikeouts. How do you like them app... Hey, wait... no strikeouts? As in none? Just what are you teaching these kids, Mets?
  5. Liked it better than Thor and Green Lantern. They're hard films to make --- needing to satisfy invested constituencies from several generations of the character, as well as people who've never read a comic in their lives.
  6. DC was a folk hub, with the scene thriving after the war until fading about the time the Beatles hit (and played their first concert in DC) --- situated at an odd crossroads between the Appalachian sources of the music and the northern sophisticates popularizing and consuming it. They also had this Jewish population of families established well before the war, who acted as dedicated sponsors for the movement. Before becoming America's favorite crooning yokel, John Denver was a DC coffeehouse folkie:

  8. Big day for Jordanny Valespin, first getting big love from Paul DePodesta, and then getting a promo to Buffalo, to go antagonize an older set of players. Go with my love, young JV.
  9. Can you imagine what it was like, if you had any ambition, to be a contemporary of Dylan? He was good enough to set an impossibly high standard. He was prolific enough to set a pace nobody could keep up with. He was prankster enough to push his goofiest songs so hard they came out as profound and outdid your best. And he was mean enough that if you briefly were able to reach his air, he'd cut you dead for the transgression.
  10. What did Harvey do against the Altoona Curve? IPHRERHRBBSO5.0300014 The Curve are a real professional team and everything. With bats and stuff. I mean, they've only gone .438 in the Eastern League this year, but that's .024 better than Backmanton. !
  11. My point is merely that the five-year time frame isn't very meaningful.
  12. The majority of pitchers should expect a major arm injury over the next five years, no? And if Wheeler somehow escapes that, who will remember a prediction made five years previous?
  13. If he did The Rocketeer, that's enough for me. I'm there. I'm queer. Get used to it.
  14. A scale of four stars or five? 1) Green Lantern 2) Thor
  15. God? Really? Then I will rephrase. I wanted to know if your enjoyment (and yours alone) was at all affected by the relative glut of recent superhero movies --- the magic made less magical by it's increased relative availability. Because we went to Thor and Lantern at my wife's suggestion. I warned her that the potential for suckitude was high. We each disliked them both, and both disliked them each, and now I'm not sure I could drag her to Captain 'Merica, despite my interest in him being far greater than those other two costumed big shots.
  16. I edited my post while you were responding. It's just, enough weaving semantic circles, please. You're smart. I understand. But any ocelot can tell I'm not asking about box office. Any black-capped chickadee knows I'm not asking about the datedness of the character. or dampen critical response already numbed by the genre? or simply lessen audience anticipation, however quantified? Give me a break already. It was the easiest question ever.
  17. Does the comic book movie glut affect of the impact of the Captain?
  18. Do you say DEN Dekker or den DEKker? I do the former.
  19. Long Island Press gushes over Cammie, mistakes Thole for a strong defensive catcher.
  20. Strange stuff. After seemingly two months of therapy he could still barely lift his arm.
  21. I have no idea what they'll be doing this offseason. Top priority is shoring up, I think. But no, I think there are plenty of internal options at second.
  22. Just jumped up to fourth in the Eastern League in RBI. Fifth in total bases, second in OBP, and third in OPS (that last one behind two guys who've logged significantly fewer plate appearances). We're looking at an MVP candidate. Good adoption.
  23. 3-5, 2B, 2 R yestidday. The Bees are looking to win their third straight series and have Robert Carson taking the hill for them, but, seriously, some of youse adopt Satin and Dykstra. Those are the bats carrying this team.
  24. I expect Rainy is a diminutive of Rainier or somesuch. Be a good name for a dominatrix. Yeah, I've had some adventure looking for photos.
