Keith Hernandez was at the Oriole game last night.

As was i..
as was i. here’s a shot of him on the scoreboard after they did the bit with the players rating their fave seinfeld character. they used the episode keith was in, and then cut to him in the booth. i thought it was a nice nod.

It’s not “Saber,” of course, but the guy who does this research is Finnish, there is no way he could know.
And yes, he was a few days off.

It is in some ways a relief...

Anything that reminded me of Luis Castillo dancing would be banished to the hinterlands. However, I will remind myself that he still had his defensive skills when he was on the Twins.

I know we should all be focusing our hate on the Phillies in preparation for the upcoming Philadelphia massacre, but I just saw that picture above, and read this piece at NESN.com. All…
I liked this blog until I read this. I was hoping someone could refer to me to a non-sexist, non-misogynist, non-woman-hating Blue Jays blog. Because I’d like to read one.

The Yankees *and their fans*. Don’t forget that part. Because their complaints were what got the Yankees to have security forbid people to get up and walk around. And what would the fans do if they couldn’t bring American flags to every...
I just have to say...
camanda:
I am going to choke the next person who says the NL should introduce the DH rule, especially if they say that pitchers hitting is “unnatural,” and claim a high injury rate for pitchers from hitting. Pitchers injure themselves pitching. What, pitchers get hurt less often in the AL? Does anyone have numbers on that or are AL fans just generally huge assholes? Oh, and by the way, what’s...
it's not shea stadium so STOP CALLING IT THAT, you... →
I don’t need any more reasons to hate hipsters, but calling a hipster music venue in Brooklyn “Shea Stadium” just to be, like, so retro, and authentic and stuff, is idiotic in the extreme. Do you think that it’s cool that people write headlines that say “no badges at Shea Stadium last night”? Are you giggling while wearing your tiny tshirt and sitting in your...

Okay, so after last night’s rainout, the Jays will again look for their season-best-tying fourth straight win and the series sweep against the Texas Rangers. The Jays will once again attempt to…

Except .. I don’t think he understands how to use it, lol. Sigh.
Hahah wow, it really is special. My favourtie tweet so far: “Ok good. I’m new to this whole twitter thing. I wanted to do a blog and got this instead”
RETIRE ALREADY
guy: honestly, why do you even care about Andre Ethier? He's the worst player on the team.
me: wh-what? what are you talking about?!
guy: he just sucks
me: really? okay, when he scores another run, i'll come back and talk to you because clearly, you aren't speechless from his past few performances, which you should be
guy: why do you think you know more than me? i know a lot more about baseball than you do
me: how do you come to that conclusion?
guy: my dad used to work at dodger stadium
me: *walks away*
yeah, kind of hard to fight *that* logic. (of course, unspoken is 'because i have a penis and you don't'.)

Mischief at the Mets game...

So as I pointed out earlier there were some insipid fools at the Mets game… Needless to say they weren’t pleasant to sit near, however the antics that came from this situation were simply priceless…
I could write a really long post explaining them all and ruin your dashboard but instead I’ll cut to the chase and tell you about my favorite…
During the whole game...

– via metsblog. augh. Victorino is such a hypocrite. (via octoberspazbaby)
The Phillies need to worry about playing baseball. The fact that they are still so preoccupied with the Mets just shows their own insecurities. Seriously now.
And Victorino is a [redacted].
