But ... monitor it ... and any silliness whatsoever, and they get admonished! See how they last through an awful game.

lol ... because maybe my sideways or upside down pic will be the most interesting thing of either?

Well ... you tried. I think maybe, if you want to keep experimenting, put one of those who wants the more 'serious' thread in charge. Let them set it up every game like RB does here, let them guide the talk, let them take responsibility for it. <shrug> I think mostly it's all just a product of what's been said ... a bad team and a bad season.

Quite frankly, neither thread is all that ... um ... well, I'm going to go finish putting together my apple crisp now that I've peeled, cored and sliced the apples.

Wow ... David Cassidy ... lol ... 'I think I love you!'

Exactly. I mean, who wants to analyze an 18-3 game? Well, okay, maybe some do. I don't.

wow ... Correia even looks like he's done with Plouffe, too.

Again ... Plouffe ... sigh

Is this the unfun with numbers thread now?

I always thought that Escobar projected as the utility guy and Florimon was the better SS.

I'd put that in the NOT fun with numbers column.

Hmm ... should ... but with this team? I'm not even sure about shoulds at this point. But I think hitting 1000 is a good departure point for Gardy.

Good out.

okay, Arcia ... don't go after the high fast ball you are surely going to get ...

I'm sort of torn about this series with the Rays. I mean, of course I don't want to lose ... I never want to lose ... but I'd rather see the Rays in over the Yankees; maybe even over the Rangers.

Mmmm ... nice to know I'm not the only baker here.

They might go after both, and yeah, I want to hope for one, but in the end, I think they will get 'outbid' for both. At least that will be the story line. But ... we'll see.

I'm okay with that. That's worth the ribbon for just participating.

I was thinking this year they'd get 65-70 anyway

We have a series upcoming with Chicago ... that might help.

This is really the crux of it. It's not for lack of baseball talk ... but when you are down 15-1 ... oy; we do what we can to pick ourselves up for the hope of tomorrow. There are many posters with good baseball acumen posting in the game threads, who are invested in this site and in the game, so it's not for lack of that, either. In the end, it's a good group, with good baseball sense, who also understand it's just a game, despite the dourness our team invokes.

If he were going to be back, why wait to say so? Waiting to say what's what is just delaying the inevitable, imo.

That's what I did this time. It worked last night doing that ... but not today. But I also took the pictures in landscape mode as well as posted them in landscape mode (with the volume buttons down.) This picture was an older picture I had on my phone from last April.

Well, Shane and tn49 drank me under the table, so, yeah. It's my perspective. Seriously ... I cannot get photos from my iPhone to load right ... I choose, and it looks fine, then hit upload, and it shows up sideways.

omg ... this is my rating for that stupid Jiffy Lube commercial ... every inning they've played it:
