Think about it.

I absolutely cannot believe it's been two decades since that season. My God, where have the years gone?

By the way, in case you missed it, there's a Mike Lieberthal Retires post under this one.

August 20 will be the 20th anniversary of Gibson scoring from 2nd on a wild pitch.

Seems like someone was off a bit in their expectations.

We just got our 1-6 Scrubs DVD. We've already watched season one so as the rains break out we are set for the weekend. Popcorn, brownies, christmas cookies, chocolates, and Ben & Jerry cartons will be keeping us company.

I wonder how many of those 33% wouldn't have died if they hadn't entered the hospital.

Scrubs marathons are great, especially through the first 3 seasons.

If he wants to play everyday that's the place to go. If he wanted a lesser role he could probably sign with a more competitive team one would think.

" 'Elisabeth Shue has a locker right next to me," Lieberthal said. "I'm really excited, because I loved her in "Sideout." '

"Colletti put his footwork on display early in the first quarter, rolling on the turf after trying to corral a ball near the sideline at midfield. He bounced up and played on, saving most of his moves for player acquisition, no doubt."

ps I just rarely notice those things cause I'm always on competitive mode, noticing all the wrong things there doing instead of just sitting back & enjoying the great athleticism of theres, it was just great!!

I wonder if there's any comments were he says something nice about Frank Robinson.

Hershiser was 14-8 with a 2.40 ERA after beating the Braves and a 22 year old Jon Smoltz on August 8. Amazingly, in his final 10 starts, Hershiser went 1-7 in spite of allowing a 2.10 ERA and only 1 HR in 73 IP. The Dodgers had a stretch during this period during which they didn't score for Orel in 34 straight innings.

That game was only one of two 22-inning contests for the 1989 Dodgers (they also beat the Expos 1-0 on August 23). Hershiser also pitched 7 scoreless innings in that game, although in a starting capacity.

To tie this into the subject at hand, Kirk Gibson went 2 for 6 with a HR and a walk in Houston, and didn't play in Montreal. His replacement in LF against the Expos, Lenny Harris, had 5 singles in 9 AB.

Ok, I've read and re-read that like 10 times and can't make sense of it.

So on February 5 how will that work. Does each candidate make a checklist.

Candidate A: "Hey, Candidate B, congratulations on winning states X, Y, and Z"
Candidate B: "Thank you A, congratulations on winning Q, W, and J."

But now, there are usually multiple soccer leagues for kids to play in.

WSU +3 (5-2 actual record)
UCLA +2 (5-1)
Stanford +1 (5-2)
USC +1 (3-3)
Arizona 0 (4-3)
Wash. 0 (3-4)
Oregon 0 (3-4)
ASU -1 (4-3)
Cal -3 (2-5)
OSU -3 (0-7)

WVU coach was steaming angry, and I don't what the crowd was doing (sound off for sleeping kids) but a line of West Virginia Troopers immediately filled the center of the court.

Lee

Choi arguments were more enjoyable than Pierre arguments.

Steve, where have you gone? We deeply miss your pith. And vinegar.

I think we can safely assume that.

Kenny Ziegler?

We're on opposite ends here. :-) Repko scares me whenever I see him in the outfield next to any Dodger except Juan Pierre. Frankly, I wouldn't lose any sleep if I never saw Repko in the Dodgers outfield again.

I wouldn't call Mayo a "superstar" yet, but he's certainly well known enough to elicit a headline of something like "O.J. Mayo's Father Arrested", instead of "Huntington Man Arrested..."

Who knows what's up with that. I have some what of a similar issue in that I'm going with the wrong last name my self, I was hung over when I went to the DMV & decided to go with my mothers last name instead of my Dads (Don't ask why, my only excuse is that I was still kind of drunk when I went to the DMV) I still get an ear full from mom when ever the subject comes up, & it's also pretty annoying at work because I'm going with the wrong last name.

Yeah that's true, the most likely scenerio is that Repko will play in Vegas & Delwyn Young will make the big club, but we must remember that Repko has had great ST threw out his career, so who knows.

Both teams have already called timeouts in the first three minutes.

I need Prime Ticket!!!

USC blew a 10-pt lead with 2:30 left in regulation. An 8-point lead in OT should be no problem for Oregon. Oops, did I say 8? I meant 5!

Likely not:)

BTW, the movie was much better than I expected. Best line of the movie:

Here's something to remember when you're older - never pass up a bathroom, never waste a hard-on, and never trust a fart.

That last one is right up there with the Golden Rule.

"When Oregon State briefly took a first-half lead against UCLA (No. 7 ESPN/USA Today, No. 8 AP), the Bruins realized they should have taken the Beavers a little more seriously."

I can't wait until baseball season.

Has anyone thrown the outlet passer better then Love? Wes Unseld?

- I would be really ticked off if I were Bob Huggins. Criticizing that call was worth a fine. He should have let loose.

- Oregon should have beaten USC in regulation, because Bryce Taylor was blatantly smacked in the face by Taj Gibson when he hit the tying shot. In college basketball, why does a whole different set of rules take effect in the last 30 seconds of the game? What good does that do anybody? Why not just have a good set of rules and, you know, follow them?

- Thank you, Jon, for pointing out how freaking awesome Kirk Gibson was. He's somehow become the poster boy for guys who won undeserved MVPs due to grit and hustle, but statistically he was among the best too.

But there are exceptions.

I'm guessing FJM will review Plasschke's latest.

And anger.

That reminds me, Will Leitch's new book just went on sale. I browsed through it yesterday, and it's really good.

I was between jobs then. And the job I had before moving north consisted of me commenting on DT about 80% of my day.

I have lots of weekend time on my hands now, though.

Nothing a Filipina can't solve.

You were a pretty good ball player Icaros, why not join a sunday league team, the camaraderie alone is worth the effort & if you join a really good team even better.

Like the NY vs Boston column linked in FJM, this is a pretty blatant attempt to bait Brady fans.

Not much else to say...

Plasschke tries so hard to be controversial, but it falls flat. His mechanizations are too obvious, not to mention too stupid.

Tell me about it.

I played in the Sunday men's league in Long Beach a few years ago. It was pretty fun, but always rather disorganized. It kinda made me miss Little League, when we had real uniforms and our parents were in the stands taking things way too seriously.

Before Spring Training in 2001, Beltre underwent a botched appendectomy in the Dominican Republic. At 20, without the generosity of Bob Daly, who was president and CEO at the time, Beltre probably would have died

I don't get how Bob Daly saved Beltre's life. That is a very odd passage.

I ended up missing most of the match until it was over and then couldn't get back to sleep.
