I don't think you're reading the graph correctly. Home runs are a cause of global warming.

Only right to be fair to K-Rod. 1-2-3 inning tonight. That's how you do it. He pitched like the 2003-04 Frankie tonight.

Soria gave up his first two runs of the season tonight. Thankfully, the Royals were up 3 at the time and they still won 7-6.

Susan Waldman is such a cunt.
I was forced to listen to the Yankees broadcast of the Mets Yankees game today and at the start of the game Waldman is going over the recoard and say " the Yankees are five games behinf the Rays, and since we don't care about the Rays they are 3 games behind Boston" What an unneccesary thing to say, makes me hate the Yankees even more. |

What a story the Rays have been so far this year. Good for them. Maybe they'll con someone into building them a ballpark.

Well she's a Yankees broadcaster, so at least that's sorta to be expected. She can live in whatever dreamland she wants to, the generic brand logo Rays are in 1st and the Yankees are in last. No complaints about that from me. |

Soriano has gone completely ballistic this week as he carries the Cubs to a 8-2 homestand.

It would be great if Jon Miller realized that the LF wall is curved and the foul pole isn't in the wrong spot.

A baseball-related random blurb from today's Tom Taylor newsletter (from radio-info.com)
Another sports team is interested in buying its own sports station – the Minnesota Twins. The Pohlad family emerged last Summer as an angel to acquire Radio One’s rhythmic “B96” KTTB (96.3) for $28 million and there was speculation then that they wouldn’t be satisfied with just one station. Now the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports rumors that the Pohlads’ Northern Lights Broadcasting is interested in buying FM talker KTLK-FM (100.3) from Clear Channel – and doing sports on it. That could set the stage for moving the Twins’ baseball games there after the expiration of the current deal with the Hubbards’ KSTP (1500), in 2010. Though Northern Lights president Steve Woodbury says he hasn’t talked about it with the family and says “they don’t want to talk about that.” But it’s clear he’d love to do sports on FM, to compete with Clear Channel’s KFAN (1130). CC might not be too thrilled about selling a facility that would be converted into a direct competitor – so the Pohlads may have to scout elsewhere. But they’re definitely interested in adding more radio stations there, and they've got the budget to do it. Woodbury says “We didn’t get into this to buy one station. There are a number of possibilities, but nobody is there yet.”

I'm watching the Phils play the Nats, and I must say, what's up with the camera angles when the ball is in play? It looks like the camera man is up in the 900 level behind the plate.
For all you regular Nats watchers, is this normal? |

And DaddyTorgo had offered me a ticket to the game today at 5. I decided I couldn't make it into the city before first pitch, and thought it would be impolite to give work less then an hour's notice, so I declined.
(sadly tears up his "Red Sox Fan" card..) Guess I'm a bandwagoner

LOS ANGELES -- Andruw Jones underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed a slight cartilage tear in his right knee, and the Dodgers will wait a few days to see if the center fielder will have to undergo surgery. "Hopefully, I can do it [surgery] in the offseason," Jones said, according to The Los Angeles Times. Jones was scratched from Monday night's game against Cincinnati because of swelling due to fluid buildup. He said he felt discomfort during the Dodgers' weekend games against the Angels. Jones signed a two-year, $36.2 million contract with the Dodgers in the offseason but hasn't rewarded them. He is batting .167 with two home runs, seven RBIs and a .275 on-base percentage. Jones was hitless in 11 at-bats in the Dodgers' interleague series against the Angels.

I haven't watched any games on TV this year. (I don't have cable) I have heard the booth guys complain about how high their seats are, and I think the cameras have the same problem. I've only been in the park and I'm not sure where the cameras are behind home plat, only in the outfield. I will try to look next time I go (I was there last night, actually -- and if you were watching the game you probably saw me. I sit right behind the 1st base ball girl).
