Vance Horsman? edit: Looked him up. It's Vince Horsman.

Worley's gonna channel Jason Jennings and throw seven innings of three-hit ball. /sigh

Baseball things you're embarrassed to admit you don't know
seawolf17 replied to Theoldmole's topic in New York Mets Talk
I agree with everyone on distinguishing pitches, but I will say this; knuckleballs are fucking AWESOME to watch from right behind the plate. Same on the 2- and 4-seamers. Tim McCarver's "Baseball For Brain Surgeons" is a really good book that explains a lot of that stuff, including pitches. I'm going to go back and re-read it. -

You really can't blame Sterling for almost getting excited there. Until about a split-second before he catches it, it looks like a game-winning double into the corner. You know he was going for "And it's a... BASE HIT! ROUNDING third is Jeter..." Ugh. Gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it.

I'm honestly still bitter. I saw the "Rachel" DVD at the Blockbuster going-out-of-business sale and I almost bought it just to stomp on it.

It is a nice story. Hample's still a douche.

Dude, Brad Emaus couldn't even buy a Brad Emaus Mets jersey. It'd be interesting to hear the discussion in late May when a nine-year-old is sitting in his seat punching his ballot, asking his parents who the hell Brad Emaus is. (And then, of course, getting slapped around for saying "hell.")

Zimmermann. Got it. Tricky, you.

Let's keep an eye on pitcher Nick Tropeano of YOUR Stony Brook Seawolves, who's 8-1, 1.06 in nine starts. In 59 2/3 innings, he's allowed 35 hits (31 singles, four doubles), walked twelve and struck out 78.

"Probably Wright too"?!?! Are you effing kidding me? That Debbie Downer skit is one of my favorite SNL moments.

Hey MLB, I have a bunch of vacation days I can use after May 1, and I did win my fantasy baseball league last year. Just sayin'.

I call shenanigans on the nickname.

duan wrote: On other notes, Brandon Wood got DFA'd last night and strikes me as EXACTLY the kind of guy that a team with fuck all hope of competing could take a look see at. No way. Not only can he not hit major league pitching, he actually got worse in AAA the last few seasons. Plus we have no place to put him.

The only solid logic here is that last spring, I sent an autograph request to RA Dickey c/o the Bisons a week or so after he threw that near-perfecto... he was so inspired by my request that he got called up a few days later and nearly won the Cy Young Award last season. Guess who I sent an autograph request to last week, c/o the Bisons? You betcha. Justin Turner. Karma.

Our season is saved!

You can get tickets for this week for $3 on StubHub. Three dollars. I wish I lived closer and/or didn't have a family, because I'd go to a lot more games.
