Baseball and Some News from North (or South) Carolina
I watched an entire baseball game a few nights ago, Reds vs. Pirates, for the first time this season (I think). It went into extra innings, the Reds eventually won, and I enjoyed it. But I have a few comments…
Why do the players now wear their pajama bottoms during games? Baseball pants aren’t supposed to look like that, and it bothers me. One guy’s pants legs were so long and baggy they were piled up on top of his shoes. Aren’t there rules about such things? Does anything go at this point? It seems like it could almost be dangerous.
The confusing part: some players still wear regular uniform bottoms, with the high socks, etc. But it looks like most just wear their sleeping pants to the stadium. No consistency, either? Man, I don’t like it. What’s next, outfielders sending tweets on their smartphones between pitches?
Who is that tall, skinny stick of a bastard who throws 104 mph? They said he’s a Cuban defector, and just signed a $30 million contract with the Reds. He looks like he’s about seventeen years old, and throws harder than Nolan Ryan? Holy crap nodules.
The announcers said he has a reputation for wildness, but he was throwing nothing but strikes the night I saw him. And the Pirates hitters couldn’t manage even a foul tip off the guy. Every pitch was like something fired from a cannon. If he doesn’t get hurt (a high probability, I’d say), and improves his control, he could be a great one.
How would you like to stand in the batter’s box against that guy? Scary. He’d surely destroy a helmet. And if you were unlucky enough to take one in the ribs, your liver would probably go flying through the backstop. No thanks.
I enjoyed the game, but was unfamiliar with every single player. I also didn’t know the announcers, I only knew Dusty Baker. And how sad is it that I can only relate to the manager? Everybody else seemed like young whippersnappers, and quite possibly impostors.
I’ve mentioned this before, and I’m gonna mention it again. I wish MLB would make radio broadcasts available as mp3 downloads, the day after a game is played. You know, for a nominal fee. They sell off everything else, why not the radio play-by-play, as well?
If they offered something like that, I’d subscribe and listen at work. And I’d be an active baseball fan again, within two weeks. I know I could record them myself, but that’s too big of a hassle. I just want to pay a fee, and have them dump into iTunes every morning.
I’m sure they’re worried about people pirating the broadcasts and selling them, etc. But look what that kind of thinking did for the music industry. I’d love to listen to Reds games at work every night, and it would undoubtedly lead to me going to more baseball stadiums, watching more games on TV, and buying their merchandising crap. Oh well. Nobody from the commissioner’s office has asked for my input…
Toney talked to Nancy yesterday, and she said Nossy’s twice-a-week 45 mile commute is “destroying” him. When he arrives at work, she reports, he has to immediately go to his office, close the door, and take a nap on the floor. And when he gets home at night, he just goes straight to bed.
Heh. I can imagine the tortured look on his face as he struggles up the stairs, weak and shaky from driving… 45 miles. What a rugged individual. He must surely be descended from the wagon train pioneers of an earlier era.
Nancy is also irritated by an “Asian girl” from the neighborhood, who is now playing with the translucents. When they “play-act” (wtf?) Harry Potter, you see, the girl wants to be Hermione. But the oldest see-thru is ALWAYS Hermione, it’s well-known.
So, it bothers Nancy that the girl wants to play the girl part. This opens up all kinds of discussions about gender roles, etc. And I might just be a common hick, but I view the whole thing as borderline disturbing. The oldest kid is in Junior High! And he’s “play-acting” Hermione? Good god, man.
And what’s the deal with the Nancys of the world ALWAYS mentioning a person’s race or religion? I thought that stuff doesn’t matter? Hell, I barely notice it, and I’m just an unsophisticated clod. But Nancy is always talking about her African-American friend, and her Muslim colleague, and her Asian neighbors…
What’s the story, morning glory?
I don’t really have a Question for you guys today, so just comment on the stuff above, if you’re so inclined. You know, baseball and Nancy.
Tomorrow afternoon I’m going to start my three-day yurt extravaganza. So, it’s gonna get weird(er) around here. I probably should’ve asked for guest posts, but I didn’t think about it. I will update on Tuesday, and we’ll see how it goes from there.
Thank you guys, for coming here every day.
I’ll see you tomorrow.

Don’t be so surprised about the Pirates not being able to hit anything, JK. They’ve been that way for 18 losing seasons in a row now.
Christ, they’d have a hard time beating a community college team. A Little League team even.
Well, maybe they could mange the Little League team…

Can’t help you with the baseball thing… the only pitcher I can remember offhand is Kent Tekulve. Tall skinny guy who threw sidearm for the Pirates – ages ago. Well, I do remember Nolan Ryan, but only because you mentioned him.
OK, so when they’re playing Harry Potter, are they doing it like on Saturday Night Live? That might explain why the girl always wants to be Hermione…

45 mile commute? When I lived in Cali, I had a 2 mile commute that always took at least 45 minutes and I was never tired. Sounds like Nostrils needs a new brand of coffee. Maybe obne that has real caffine in it and not made from tofu! LOL

Aroldis Chapman. At the beginning of the season, there were debates as to whether he or Steven Strasburg of the Nats would have a better year. Now Strasburg had to have Tommy John surgery, so who knows.
But yeah, I saw Chapman on Sportscenter, and it’s fucking terrifying.
Unlike you, my baseball watching has blossomed this year. I’ve either seen on TV or listened to on the radio, in completion, probably 75% of their games

I have the attention-span of a blue-bottle fly and can’t watch an entire baseball or football game. I did attend one Reds game in Cinci but we were so far away in center it was like watching an ant farm. And the beer was watered i think.
Sounds like the kid has some identity issues. Nancy should just be glad they aren’t performing Kabuki theatre. The Maybelline costs alone would be staggering, not to mention costuming.
A 45 mile commute wipes Nossy out? What a pup. I did 160 miles round trip 5 days a week for 3 months. He would need rehab after that.
[Reply]
The short stop for the cubs is some 20 year old Dominican guy. That makes me sick. Somewhere there is a man older than me playing for the Hooks down in double A for the 8th straight season and this punk gets in the big game. No, thanks I’ll go root for the Elk on Versus channel.
I could defiantly dig listening to games around the league at work. Or I could just look at my got durn box scores and play the game out in my head.
Jeff, you should get the oldest Translucent a straight razor shaving kit for his next birthday. Man him up some. And see how many slashes the news says it took a mysterious clear child killing his family in a fit of accidental razor blade wizardry.

I didn’t realize people still play professional baseball in the United States of America. How odd.
And you can tell Nancy to tell the oldest transluscent to tell the little asian kid that I, Juancho, am permanent Hermione. expelliasaurus!
[Reply]
45 minutes twice a week? What madness. I have a new appreciat— Wait. I can’t even joke here. What a douchette.
[Reply]
My commute’s only 3 miles, so I’m not exactly in a position to talk. However, a 45-mile commute is still manageable.
Last week I commuted 350 miles round-trip in a 24-hour period… I had a meeting out in Huntsville on Wednesday, so I drove out there on Tuesday night and returned Wednesday after the meeting. I wouldn’t volunteer to do it regularly, but it won’t kill a man.
Does Nostrils still have that same crapmobile that died somewhere in the Midwest during the cross-country trip? If so, that might be part of his problem.
On baseball… yeah, I think Manny Ramirez started the loose-pants movement in baseball. I don’t get why any ballplayer wouldn’t prefer the old-school pantaloons & stirrups look.
I’d be the most cowardly baseball player if I had to face some of these MLB pitchers… anything over 90mph has to look like a blur. What’s funny is that MLB has even introduced newer, safer helmets for batters to wear, but the batters don’t want to wear them. The reason? Coolness factor. The new helmets are massive compared to the old helmets, so the batter looks like a giant Q-Tip at the plate.

One of his teammates probably smacked him upside the head for wearing such a dorky helmet. Presumably while he wasn’t wearing the helmet, otherwise he wouldn’t have felt it.
Actually, I think he wore it in 2009 for a couple of weeks after suffering a concussion from a beanball… he went back to the normal helmet soon afterwards.

What a puss Nossy is. I drive 78 miles round trip five days a week. I’ve been working at my current job for a little over six years.

Why does baseball have to last 7 months? They’re called “The Boys of Summer” not the “boys of every season except Winter.” Has basbeball always been practically year round? I remember my Pop watching his Mets on channel 9 with the announcer Ralph Kiner relaying the games.
45 miles and has to take a nap on his office floor? Wow, that’s bad!

What job does Nossy have that he can take naps on the floor at work? I’m scared to spend as much time as I do on the Surf Report.

45 miles? how long does that take? i’m in NYC and a 15 mile trip took over an hour and a half every day. due to traffic.
fuck 45 miles should be less than an hour? fuck him.
i totally agree with the whole webcasting the mlb games. do they even stream them? ’cause if they did i’d be able to snatch that shit offa the internet (thanks to my skills of an engineer) and drop that into my ipod….
i used to love baseball, back when the mets were the worst in the league… now that they’re mediocre? i don’t give a fuck. maybe i’ll start caring about the pirates…. since they’re now league-worst?

There’s nothing wrong with the Pirates that a completely new ownership and management wouldn’t cure. The Pirates are not owned by baseball people. The current owners probably look at the team as one big tax write-off. Sad, but then again, the ‘Burg has been a football town now for decades. Of course, if the Rooney family owned the Pirates it might be a completely different story.
As for baseball in general, two recommendations: 1. Knickers only, no PJ bottoms, and 2. Find a way to speed things up, for Pete’s sake.

I used to LOVE baseball. Followed the Cubs and Phillies when I was younger. My dad used to take me to the games as we once lived in Philly and then moved to Chicago. The pirates aren’t even worth the electric it takes to fire up the boob-tube. Although PNC Park is amazing. Win or lose, it’s always fun to go to a baseball game.
I would drive 45 miles twice ANY DAY
[Reply]
fucking computer…as I was saying…. I would drive 45 miles ANY DAY over the bullshit I put up with on a daily basis. An eight mile, one way commute takes 45 min in the morning; 30 min to an hour in the afternoon depending on the dickbeaters on the road. That may not be a lot of time to some but the traffic, busses and stupidity of some of the drivers out there gets to you after a while.

bikerchick…you sound all stabbity.
I drive a dark blue impala with tinted windows…. people give me the same respect they give any unmarked police car (honestly, hot “fuzz” was just a random thought way back when)…
Some days though, I feel like having a piece of guardrail welded to the front of my car, moving the exhaust up top like a Kentworth but with a flame thrower attachment. I think it present a nice image in a rear view mirror after being cut off…dark car, darkish windows, huge solid looking bumper (RAMMING SPEED)..and flames shooting out the top.
I’m laughing to myself here because I was listening to a Christian radio station the last time I drove on the highway.

A writer walks into a yurt….
After two days of rephrasing the same stuff he has already written, he realizes if he ever does finish his book he will no longer have an excuse to disappear from his family when he feels a need for “privacy”. He also does not want to leave his woodland friends. The two beautiful fairies who live next to the stump where Mr. Kellermick lives. He’s the mayor of the local trolls and elves and holds a nightly court of song and drink. The thought of leaving makes him want to live here forever with his friends.
He answers a knock at his door…
“Mr. Jeff Kay?”
“Uh…yeah.”
“Is this yours?”, the young lady asked holding a long stem carved pipe a a bag of what appeared to be a mixture of mushroom caps and a bright green herb.
“Uh…what the fuck time is it man?”
“4am…is this yours?”
“No…it’s a friends”
“Well…give it back to him.” She turned and walked away after handing him the items. He couldn’t believe what just happened. He called out to here as she left…
“Uh…thanks. And oh…you have a fantastic ass.”

MLB has played 162 games since1961 (AL) and 1962 (NL). Prior to that, the season was 154 games long. However, before 1961, teams typically traveled by rail rather than air, so there were more “travel days”. So why does the season seem longer now? Partly money. MLB stopped scheduling double-headers so they could rake in a few more bucks at the box office.

Not sure how your musical tastes run, or whether they run at all. Perhaps you had that condition attended to. In any case, I’m an Ian Tyson fan of sorts. I especially love some of his early tunes, particularly “Song for Canada” and “Someday Soon”. I was listening to the Mitchell Trio rendition of the former tonight and thought of my Reporter friends in Canadia. What a beautiful, anthemic song. Am I naive in thinking that most everybody in Canada is familiar with Mr. Tyson’s work, and, of course, Ms. Fricker’s? Silvia was just plain hot and she still sings a mean tune.
