OUCH!!!!

When I was trying out for the adult baseball league I’m in, another guy trying out managed to foul a bunt into his face. It was pretty funny.
that sounds like something id do lol
haha
did he make the team?
LOL! Why is someone else’s pain and humiliation so often funny???
Well, it was a general tryout for all the teams in the league. If he made it, it was with another team.
I dunno. But it is!
Shadenfraud……
::glares at timmmy::
If it’s any consolation, my ass was wet for 3 hour last night…and I dropped about 3 bills.
hahaha, not really. ;)
hope you had fun yo
our seats were right by the lone mixed drink stand at the park, timmy was in the mood for 7&7’s last night.
it was a stomach twisting game, at least when you are at home watching, and you know it’s a leverage situation, you can turn on SouthPark or something to get away from the debacle, at the game man, you got to take it…no switching the channels when shiz get’s jacked.
hahahaha, very nice. bet they cost you a pretty penny.
tru tru, i watched south park during the rain delay! guiter hero ep is fabulous

hilarious…..

sorry if you’ve seen it
basically 10 bucks per drink, 8.75 bt ya got to float the honey the tip or our get a thimble of Seagrams the next time.
hahahaha, that was great.
damn, dem be big city prices!
oh yeah dep…we be big time here…got a crate and barrel and everything.
LMAO timmy.
Big city prices in that cesspool of a city? Somehow St. Louis became even worse of a city, if that was at all possible. :)
ahhh you’ve been? Be it ever so humble…….
I was there for the FF in 2007. It was a cesspool. Downtown is horrifying, and I saw a cop pull a gun on someone on the train.
Simply put it was a very scary place.
I love that you can slam someone really good, but somehow it’s okay…I put a smiley face at the end.
I hope your sister and puppy die in a car fire : )
woah now, I don’t have a puppy…but if something happens to my sister I will find Albert Pujols and force him to make a sex tape with Verne Troyer. See how well your baseball team plays then!
Sounds about right….downtown isn’t exactly the place to go. And wow, there was a cop on the train?
you didn’t put a smiley on there….who says you’d have to FORCE Poo to do that?
Well his name is pronounced Poo-Holes.
Be afraid Mini-me!
Your mom eats my poo.
….
:)
Dep, Penguins signed Satan and Tank.
I am all aerodynamic now! woot!
wow. Satan is gonna play well there imo as a secondary piece, he must be thrilled considering the poop he’s played with recently.
Satan is not going to help the Pens defensive system though.
that’s true, he’s poor defensively and he’s a slacker in terms of defensive effort
The problem is: do you dare put him on a line with Malkin who is at best okay defensively?
that’s an interesting question lunk
I think Chris Aguila was called back up
lol @ us
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25518225/
Utah’s government is switching to a four day workweek.
wow. almost like the jetsons!
ARGENIS!!!!
I like giving him a shot, he looked aight in Spring Training
LOL!
that whole thing today at my job if you get in late you must stay till 6 was just rescinded
it was a joke.
not funny , lol
hahaah Punch someone.
Punch someone randomly and then scream “WHO’S LAUGHING NOW, BITCH?”
that was funny….how do they know what time you get in….key card? clock in? chip implanted in your neck?
LMAO. too bad all the bosses are out today and just harassing us by email, i can only punch my partners in crime here.
we have spies everywhere.
our big big boss’s son works here, he’s a back-channel to the head honcho
we also have billable time that we have to enter into a system so they know if we are missing hours
The boss’ son? Is he available for punching?
I hated entering time…….running around looking for job #’s and then account people asking why you have a half hour on their project….the worst. Especially when your slow and you have to make yourself look like you are important.
hahahaha, i wish.
he’s actually a cool dude and i chill with him sometimes and get drunk and he even gets high and all that.
but man oh man, some days i wanna beat the living crap outta him
I have to enter time but I only have one job code (help desk) so it’s easy as hell.
bosses son’s are always grade A queefs.
abso-####ing-lotuley
i despise it.
so true on when you’re not busy, what time codes do i use??!@??!?! AH!?!?!?!?/ READING = 8 hours! lol
my boss constantly jokes that one day he’s gonna add metsgeek as a time code just for me LOL
LOL. that works!
another saturday night game this weekend
i hate that ####!
metsgeek job #420247
hehehehehe. exactly
you gonna be around tonight timmy???? i’m not sure if i’ll be on the thread tonight or not just yet
Is it 5 yet?
Damnit, everyone else went home. :(
me still here
maybe me leave at 4. we see.
That sucks. You get bogged down with a project?
I was handed something at noon today (by the boss’s son) that needs to be good to go by monday basically.
doesnt leave me much time! LOL
ridiculous, but such is consulting sometimes.
I can work on it monday morning, but you know what, i dont “need” to leave right now, might as well set myself up nicely and get most of it done now.
Yeah, then you don’t have to worry about getting sh## done as soon as the holiday is over. Start fresh.
exactly lunk
and i mean if i had a party or someone to meet or something i would leave, but to have to leave to go get burnt and workout and watch TV, that can wait.
although i could hit the 4:20….hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm LOL
hahahahah I say you need to party right there. Break out the secret stash!
omg. i have to go to Cali. bye!
hahahahaah, that would be craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy! and fun!
I’m totally emailing megan fox.
i. dont. care.
aight lunk, i’m actually off this PC. Its WiiBowling time.
Be good brother. Have a great and safe 4th and weekend if i dont see you online again and all that.
Later Dep. Have fun.
If you get a date with Megan Fox, ask if she has an equally attractive friend. Lorraine would understand :)
McLouth is coming down to earth. I wouldn’t be surprised if his average ends up in the .260-.270 ranger and he barely makes it to 20 homeruns.
McLouth’s OPS per month:
April: 1.083
May: .920
June: .621
That’s a downward spiral if I ever saw one. In addition, his batting average has gone:
April: .342
May: .279
June: .214
Reyes-Dos… nice call up to give a shot, at least he’s young enough where the best out of him might be yet to come.
Christina Aguilera… not so much but… I mean, the cupboard is so bare at AAA for position players that why not?
What’s funny is, though, Andy Hernandy is now officially the only everyday player at AAA under the age of 29.
Wow, Rene, that is a downward spiral indeed.
I love your stat cherry picking, lfm. I suppose Machado and Molina don’t “count” because they don’t have enough at bats to be considered “starters”.
LFM, is the ultimate cherrypicker. He should join the union in California…
Ramon, this is why I don’t believe in McClouth’s power: he already has more major league homeruns than he has minor league homeruns…. in half the at bats. Now, if he came up from the minors when he was, say, 22 and developed power at the major league level, I’d understand. But he had over 400 plate appearances in the minors when he was 23 and hit a total of 5 homeruns and only 20 doubles. (.401 slugging).
Looks like it’s just you and me, Ramon. Everyone else is probably eating hot dogs as we speak.
Of the names I usually see in the minor league recap box score? Sure. That’s why I said “everyday player” as opposed to “position player” or what not.
Look:
When there were 24 teams, there were 600 major leaguers and 600 AAA players.
Nowadays there are 30 teams, 750 MLB players and 750 AAA players and… moreover… there’s much better chances for AAAA type guys to play in the East Asian or Latin American leagues and be starters or stars.
So if you wanna say that even 50 players are in the international leagues instead of stewing in AAA…
That means 350 players… or half of the AAA rosters… are guys who wouldn’t be at that level if not for expansion spiralling out of control.
Now, more than ever, you gotta look at AAA numbers in a very particular sort of way to make any sense of them.
A twenty-five year old’s numbers mean a lot more than a thirty-year old’s who has just been lingering there for so long that they’ve perfected hitting flawed straight-ball AAA pitching.
Ummmmmmmm…. not that you’re correct considering you’re ignoring expanded scouting and a much larger player base…. what’s your point?
Also, I count 4 members of N.O.’s regular starting lineup to be under 29. That’s 50% if you understand math.
I’m mostly just saying “here is why we can’t be depending on AAA stats for career organizational filler type”… i.e. why it is important to point out the ages of the guys at AAA and take them heavily into account.
Why only four years of age at AAA could mean volumes of difference in terms of the potential of a player hanging around on the New Orleans squad.
Expanded international scouting probably ameliorates the effects of what I’m talking about, yeah, but… I’m not sure how much.
Such a vast number of American AND International guys wither on the vine in single-A-and-lower leagues that you have to wonder how much of the effect actually “trickles-up” to the high minor league talent pools.
Statistically, you have to image the same percentage make it to the AAA level. And scouting continues to expand whereas expansion seems to have fallen into a lull over the last decade. We’re now scouting Europe and Australia and scouting Asia and South America more diligently than ever.
And for AAA organizational filler, all you can take into account is their AAA stats. If they had decent MLB stats, they wouldn’t be in AAA. That’s the problem with organizational filler.
This weekend Omar’s Latinas invade CBP. Philadelphia fans already have the broom out. Should be an enjoyable weekend.
Lunk, that’s all I’m saying, really.
When all these people are waving a flag for Pascucci’s numbers or Armas’s numbers or whatever, saying “look at those AAA numbers, he’d be helping this club!”…
I just want people to remember that… if any front-office in baseball thought that they could replicate those numbers at a major league level against major league talent, they wouldn’t have signed on to play at New Orleans.
It’s one thing when you’re a prospect or you’re young enough to still be learning… but if you’re 29 and no one took you for their bench outta the spring, the vast odds say that this is not a major league talent.
The vast odds say that this is a dude accumulating empty numbers against guys who weren’t good enough to make a 25-man roster either.
You guys might luck out and not have to face the youngster Mitchell Boggs tonight…..we have a bit of a tempest problem today….
Boggs has okay stuff, he walks to many and is not a strikeout pitcher….he let’s ya put it in play.
He’s a right hander and he is Lily white.
