May 2, 201610 yr Also, when does Plouffe return so Polanco can get out of bench hell and go back to AAA where at least he gets to play occasionally? I think tomorrow.
May 3, 201610 yr My first job was also as an umpire. I've done it from little league (to include regionals which is right before LLWS) all the way to lower level college ball.
May 3, 201610 yr Heh ... my first job was signing envelopes in calligraphy for a wedding for $66. They said it was a small wedding ... it didn't feel small signing all those envelopes. If people are willing to dump $66 into signing envelopes for a small wedding, that must mean it's just a drop in the barrel in comparison to the other expenses. I think I'll stay clear of such business when it comes to personal matters. I guess my latest job has been volunteering hours of time for my sister's employer. Of course, this turned out to be a bad thing, for when I ended up applying when there was a job opening, she saw no need to hire me since she could get the work for free. Though to be completely honest, I was occasionally paid in the form of something like potted flowers paid for by one of her employees, flowers which I a) had no need for and b) couldn't keep because my mom has allergies. Haha ... I broke that stupid code.
May 3, 201610 yr Going door to door at my grandmothers neighborhood in St. Paul asking people if I could shovel their driveway. Second job, umpire.
May 3, 201610 yr First job was coaching t-ball for the parks and rec dept. Parents were not overly fond of me because I was the only coach putting the best players at the top of the lineup and at the premium positions, but we didn't lose any games. I HAVE NO REGRETS!There may be an opening soon, in a city near you- stay sharp.
May 3, 201610 yr Going door to door at my grandmothers neighborhood in St. Paul asking people if I could shovel their driveway. Second job, umpire.Did you wear the ski mask for both jobs?
May 3, 201610 yr Why not bump Dozier down to about 7th and bat Mauer 2 and Sano 3?I'd like to see Escobar or possibly Nunez bat 2 and put Dozier down to 7
May 3, 201610 yr Man, the only good thing about this recent stretch is the day games- so the crappy stuff happens when I'm asleep, and I can trick myself into thinking I only dreamed my team has descended to this level of suck. But today- (sorry, tonight)- wow, the Braves suck worse than us, and we have a chance to catch Houston for the AL Toilet Bowl Title. Go, Twinks, Go!
May 3, 201610 yr Why not bump Dozier down to about 7th and bat Mauer 2 and Sano 3? I'm going to guess that it's because it wasn't that long ago that Dozier was practically the only reason to watch this team. That's neither a defense of keeping him at the top of the order or a knock against it. I think that's just where they still are as an organization. Even so, it can't go on much longer like this.
May 3, 201610 yr Author I'm enjoying reading about everybody's first jobs. Good start to the game thread and a good start to the 2nd start of Mr. Berrios.
May 3, 201610 yr Berrios no-no through 1, (gotta try to get excited about something) No perfect game though Edited May 3, 201610 yr by Intramural Legend
May 3, 201610 yr Berrios no-no through 1, (gotta try to get excited about something)And not trailing!
May 3, 201610 yr Park should know by now he's gotta hit it over the fence to score a run. Wasted at bat.
May 3, 201610 yr First job was making kabobs for VonHansons. I spent most of the day in tears because of the onions, and constantly smelled like meat.Spendimg the day in tears? Is that you Dick Bremer?
May 3, 201610 yr My first job was in third grade, mowing the grass of a rental property my dad owned (see illustration below). http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt47/Lovecartoons1/Cartoons/BadDog.jpg The three primary differences were that my dad was infinitely better at being patient and supportive than the man in the cartoon, I was somewhat worse at mowing than the dog in the cartoon, and to the inevitable delight of anyone good at visualizing, the lawn mower was, in real life, a rider.
May 3, 201610 yr Am I the only one perplexed by Dozier hitting in the #2 spot again? No, and I am typing this AFTER the double!

May 3, 201610 yr OMG Jack Morris just coherently summed up why it's near impossible to call up young pitchers in the most ideal scenario. Well done sir.
