by the way brookover's article about halladay and pitch counts is awesome.

i think the dreaded pitch count and how a manger treats it as gospel is one of the main reasons this game was better when we were all kids...

Yup loved that article, especially the part rebuking Pat Jordan.

Guy I work with has a kid in Little League. There are actually mandated pitch counts now. :roll:

We're going to the Sly Fox bock fest & goat race today, and my uncle got free tixx to Neil Young tonight! Woohoo!!!

Was just mowing my lawn and I fell into my window well - could've been out for the count but I got lucky. What an idiot.

pitching counts have lead to pitchers being conditioned to only throwing a certain amount of pitches each time out....that combined with expansion = the overwhelming amount of slop pitchers in mlb right now....makes no sense that pitchers routinely threw complete games 20 years ago and now it's considered a good outing if they make it through 6. oh well..

you got yourself a day man. enjoy it. i'm gonna be mulching and shit the rest of the afternoon. :roll:

Yep, there is nothing more important than May baseball.

oh pleasseeee! Lighten up, it was a joke, of course I'm watching in between batters. Not like the coverage is going to stop anytime soon!

Funny, I was at the game yesterday.

No USA chants.

Plenty of AMERICA chants, though. Peeps love me.

Halladay is my boy.

HOT glasses, Johnny.

Thanks.

If you were a little uglier in your pic, I'd ask your A/S/L.

i was at the game. was amazing to watch the news spread. when the chants 1st started our section didn't have any word yet, we were wondering what the hell was going on. was amazing to see the people's reactions as word spread. of course then all cell reception was jammed as everyone tried to get news on the Iphone's and Droids. thought the phils should have put something up on the scoreboard about it. only thing they really did was show a couple of people in USA baseball jerseys. was neat finding out in a public place like that. something i'll never forget.

that had to be great. i was wondering if they put up a message on the board or something.

fucking awesome night.

I was thinking the same thing. Would have loved to see the reaction after putting the news up in lights on the big board. Very awesome either way.

This was the scene at PSU last night, if anyone is interested. Pretty crazy

What a day yesterday...did the Broad Street Run - and lived - tailgated in FDR in some bee-yoo-tee-full weather, then the Phils game. And I can't believe how fucking stupid this country is. Awesome. We killed a guy that may or may have not been dead for all we know this whole time. Cool. Now there's closure? Gimme a break. This changes nothing. And that fuckin' Lee Greenwood song. Jesus. Christ.

Welp, all I know is this is the biggest boost to Obama having a chance of being re-elected. So that's cool.

...even if this didn't happen, even with his approvals at all time lows, there is literally nobody on the other side would could beat him.

by the way--thanks for getting that stupid song stuck in my head :x
