    Well, hey, one inning was something.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    It was Baez making up for him having the most Baez-y AB in the top half.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    NO RUNS SCORED. Castro is looking favorably on us.

    These Pirate uniforms crack me up. They look like half dressed prison guards.

    CASTRO BE THY NAME! He got the first batter out!
  6. Sammy Sofa
    The power of Castro compels you.

    If Lackey keeps them from scoring any runs this inning I am going to run around my building naked.

    Alright, Gameday just said "in play; no outs" with the bases loaded and then froze. What happened?

    It's a coach who went from one team to another under what was perceived by many as controversial circumstances and ultimately it didn't turn out to be much of a story despite getting a decent amount of attention while it went down and shortly afterwards. Why would Thibs getting fired and being hired by Minnesota be so much more scandalous or so much more of a story? The point is that it's ultimately not that big a deal, and odds are, outside of the local press for the teams and fans involved, it's not going to mean much of anything to everyone else. I feel like we aren't even talking about anything. I was responding to SpongeWorthy about Thibs. Nobody forced you to jump in if you had nothing to add.

    That's a pretty weird analogy, but I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing with you.

    Look at it this way: how often has the controversy of Maddon going from the Rays to the Cubs followed them throughout the season? Nobody cared about that after about, what, a week?

    There's nothing to sweep under the rug. People seem to be drastically overestimating how much attention people outside of Chicago pay to the Bulls; the Rose stuff got play because he was expected become such a superstar (and was, for a brief time). Everything else is mostly only cared about by spiteful monsters like ssr. KAT will become a top 5 player as soon as next season, minny will win way more games than anyone expected, and we will all have to collectively reacknowledge the greatness of tom thibodeau I have little doubt that Thibs and Minnesota will do really well for a few years. That Thibs had been the coach of the Bulls probably isn't going to be a big focus of that story nationally.

    Nah, him opting to sit out and missing more time than expected was actually big news when it happened. Rose has had a rep as a bust long before his time as a Bull came to an end, sadly. There's few people out there thinking the Bulls gave Rose a raw deal or treated him bad. Just to be clear, I wasn't implying that Rose was mistreated or anything. I was just making a side comment about the local vs national media aspect. It's just been my personal experience from talking to a few fans from other cities that people didn't seem to realize that there were lots of issues besides the actual injuries. If that's not true, then... oh well. Oh, you're definitely right about how most of this stuff doesn't hit nationally; Rose was an exception. Just to bring it back to DC again, the Wizards had a horrendous year where they drastically underperformed, and the talk here would have you thinking it was an absurd soap opera that was so humiliating, yet it wasn't barely ever a blip on the national radar.

    Nah, the Baez pic carried over into the bad times. I think Castro really is a good luck totem. As much as I will miss ogling Jake's majestic ass, it's time for drastic measures.

    Well, just to boil it down further to my own proximity bias, I work outside of DC and it's a very transient area in terms of people living here from all over the place. We have ESPN on in my office all day, and you're lucky to have more than two fans of the same team in there at any given time. When Rose to the Knicks came up, the general things people said to me had to do with how he was seen as a bust due to his injuries and that going to the Knicks was basically like being banished to Siberia. I don't think anyone really sees Rose as much beyond a longshot on a crappy team at this point. Thibs never even came up. Outside of showing up on the panel shows for a couple days, that was it. Nobody really cared, mainly because the Bulls were a nothing team at that point. Basically it was little more than, "the FO and the coach haven't gotten along for a while; now they're firing him after a disappointing season." In short, something you see every year in the NBA.

    That's ESPN's magazine.

    So it's Joe's fault then. Quit slacking, old man.
