Smart money says K-Rod knows damn well who Goose Gossage is and pretended he doesn’t to further tick him off. And bully for K-Rod; it’s precisely the right way to play that one.
Really, who the hell knows what’s happening with Jose Reyes’ thyroid? The Mets say one thing, Jose Reyes says another.
This is not a direction I expected Curt Schilling to take, but it sounds pretty cool.
Finally, Joe Janish defends the orange slice in his beer. I’ve never really been a beer guy and, though I’ve since settled on bourbon as my booze of choice, I used to often have to make similar defenses of girly beverages. I don’t entirely get why certain alcoholic drinks are stigmatized, since they’re all really means to the same end. Anyway, this is for you, Joe Janish, from the Kids in the Hall:

Curt Schilling still sucks.
I hear that, but I’ve changed my opinion of him a bit with time. I played in an incredibly nerdy historical fantasy sim league at Seamheads.com last year that Schilling was also in, and the thing was set up so that Schilling — or anyone — could’ve totally selected the team and totally mailed it in. But Schilling took it real seriously, and email blasted the list a bunch of times looking for clarifications on rules and such, and that made me like Schilling a lot more. I think, for better or worse, he’s an enormously competitive dude.
Fair enough. I’m just terrified of a future where he will continue to be paid attention to whenever he feels the urge to rant on about PEDs, baseball players he doesn’t like, politics, sportswriters, etc. I’m sure he does plenty of good for the world through his charity endeavors and it’s cool that he likes to stay connected with his fans through the interwebs, but I’m also sure that Dan Shaughnessy was right to label him “The Big Blowhard.”
How is a historical league possible? I don’t play fantasy – it’s not REAL!!!, lol – but my understanding is that the numbers they put up in real games are the ones used in the fantasy calculations. If it’s historical, everyone knows all the numbers already.
I dont think there is anything wrong with a piece of fruit in a beer or any type of drink for that matter, if it does indeed compliment that drink. I mean if you have orange slices on your coors light, theres a problem, but an orange compliments the taste of Blue Moon (which is quite good) very nicely.
I was going to say the same thing, though I might add that a wheat beer that isn’t brewed by Coors would probably be an even better example.
Agreed. Generally the beers I enjoy most are the ones that come with slices of fruit in them. I like that white beer that comes with oranges, and Blue Moon’s fine too. Also, I like a nice corona with lime on a hot day, watery though it may be.
I just used blue moon because that was in the picture within the blog post that Ted linked too. I think the discussion strated over a blue moon so I stayed with that.
If it’s a Blue Moon w/ an orange it’s necessary to have an orange. It’s SOP. I don’t get how enjoying a nice piece of fruit gets in the way of someone’s machismo(?). You gotta be pretty insecure if you rag on some guy for having orange in his Blue Moon. Just sayin…….
Yeah plus it’s a great way to avoid scurvy.
love the kids in the hall.
