Just waiting for baseball to start

I talk about baseball a lot, specifically the New York Mets, even more specifically our pitching staff.

Dear Kevin Millar,

Please STFU ASAP.  Thanks.

MLB’s 2010 Some Stars Game

“On behalf of Joe Girardi and Charlie Manuel, who were overcome with temporary insanity, I’d like to publicly apologize to the following players.

  • Francisco Liriano
  • Joey Votto
  • Kevin Youkilis
  • Jered Weaver
  • Alex Rios
  • Josh Willingham
  • Ryan Zimmerman
  • Felix Hernandez

By any standard you want to use, these eight have to be on the team. You can’t have a 2010 All-Star game without those guys. What a disaster.”

- Dave Cameron, FanGraphs

As usual, a pretty sorry collection of “all-stars.”

I close with the hope that the title proves prophetic.

I’m not usually one to use this phrase but it’s too perfect: LOL.

My favorite.

USA-England

When I saw that Green was going to be in goal I went dancing around the house.  My sister, who follows the sport almost exclusively through me, rolled her eyes and I asked, “Have you ever even heard of Robert Green?”  The answer was, of course, no, and I shouted that that’s because he’s never been worth mentioning before, and this could only be a good thing.  I didn’t really think I’d be right, though.  So yay for my psychic powers, I guess.
