What does any of that have to do with cell phones?

Isn't Hamilton still playing center for you? He's pretty awful defensively.

So just this specific instance, right?

So you don't have a problem with throwing at hitters in a vacuum?

So I'm assuming you have a problem with this in all cases, right?

I don't think the pitch that hit Cabrera was intentional, but it doesn't matter. If teams are going to pitch him inside and he's going to get hit, then they need to let teams know that their best hitter will also get hit. That if you are going to pitch inside and hit our player, intentionally or not, these are the consequences. I've always worked under the assumption that's what "protecting" means. It's kind of stupid because it hurts your chances of winning the game, but it is what it is, and I don't have a problem with it. In fact, as much as I dislike it as a competitive strategy, I wan

I don't know if I like saying that he definitely got hit on purpose twice. And either way, I still say suck it up. It's baseball.

So the Tigers shouldn't have protected their player? Also, Youk's been hit by 37 pitches in the last 3 years, so he probably crowds the plate quite a bit too. Just saying, he should be used to it. And it's fucking baseball, come on. I'm not a purist by any stretch of the imagination, but I have no problem with throwing at guys, especially not if your guy got hit before. Oh, sorry Youk. You happened to get hit twice in two games. It happens sometimes. Not an excuse to throw a helmet at someone. Also, the fact that Youk threw the helmet in a pretty girly way should factor into the suspensi

I'm the one dressed like a member of Vampire Weekend.

After every touchdown we will be playing T-Pain's song or an updated version of "Fins" by Jimmy Buffet - renamed "Phins". !

Can they factor in that Youk has a feral cat living on his chin? But really, if Magglio Ordonez had charged Clay Buccholz and thrown his helmet at him and the roles were completely reversed in every way, you guys would probably not like what Magglio did in this hypothetical bizarro world.

I don't really see how you can say that one guy getting hit is good baseball and then another isn't, except that you are a fan of the team playing the good baseball. Why can't both have been good baseball? If you throw at my guy, I'll throw at you. Good baseball. Burke Badenhop threw at Orlando Hudson because Hanley Ramirez got hit earlier in the game. He was ejected and then given high fives by everyone in the clubhouse (Along with a three game suspension). That is good baseball to me. Youk reacted like a fucking psycho. Imagine if Milton Bradley had done what Youk did; 10 game suspe

There's a thing in baseball where if one of your teammates gets hit and stuff. Shouldn't we be applauding him for "playing the game the right way"?

I would have more faith in the Dolphins if they hadn't just pegged T-Pain to rerecord their fight song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOiUV3xNlOI I know I hate the Red Sox and wah wah wah and all that, but who throws a helmet, honestly? Seriously, this video is all kinds of funny. Porcello looks terrified as Youk charges, and Youk just looks like he lost his fucking mind. And everytime he throws his helmet I giggle. He's acting so aggressively and then he does that? He looks like an older brother chasing his little brother, and Porcello plays his little brother role to perfection by lamely trying to palm it away with his glove while running away. Funny stuff. Not a very manly throw by Yo

lol

I fully expect we will now sweep the Phillies.

Swept by the fucking Natinals...

speak for yourself. I've been bringing the latin spice since like 04.

I tried to respond with more than that, but I literally have nothing to add.

I'm supposed to have a Spin subscription because I got a ticket to Bonnaroo. Why didn't I get this?

I must be missing it, I figured Just A Fan would be buzzing with Funny People talk, because it might as well be called Wilco (the reference). I liked it, mostly because I'm very forgiving of a movies obvious flaws if it has enough likable parts. This one goes on way too long and loses a lot of what made it so enjoyable in the last third. There is a really good movie about a superstar facing his own mortality and coming to grips with it and all that, and throw the first two thirds it is very sweet and mature and funny and everything you would expect Judd Apatow to do if he decided to get seri

that's what he did for us last august. Nice to see someone else have todeal with it.

Anytime you replace a .600 OPS with an .800 OPS it's a good pickup.

So Emilio Bonifacio should be replaced in the lineup by Nick Johnson. Emilio Bonifacio's nickname is Boner. Heh. We replaced Boner with Johnson, get it?
