PrintTexas Rangers at Kansas City Royals, Aug 26, 2008 8:10 PM EDT
Picking up where we left off with Sister Carrie. Carrie has just met a man on the train to Chicago:
Lest this order of individual should permanently pass, let me put down some of the most striking characteristics of his most successful manner and method. Good clothes, of course, were the first essential, the things without which he was nothing. strong physical nature, actuated by a keen desire for the feminine, was the next. A mind free of any consideration of the problems or forces of the world and actuated not by greed, but an insatiable love of variable pleasure. His method was always simple. Its principal element was daring, backed, of course, by an intense desire and admiration for the sex. Let him meet with a young woman once and he would approach her with an air of kindly familiarity, not unmixed with pleading, which would result in most cases in a tolerant acceptance. If she showed any tendency to coquetry he would be apt to straighten her tie, or if she "took up" with him at all, to call her by her first name. If he visited a department store it was to lounge familiarly over the counter and ask some leading questions. In more exclusive circles, on the train or in waiting stations, he went slower. If some seemingly vulnerable object appeared he was all attention-- to pass the compliments of the day, to lead the way to the parlor car, carrying her grip, or, failing that, to take a seat next her with the hope of being able to court her to her destination. Pillows, books, a footstool, the shade lowered all these figured in the things which he could do. If, when she reached her destination he did not alight and attend her baggage for her, it was because, in his own estimation, he had signally failed.

I like that top 3 for the Royals future
Although I’d probably go
1. Callaspo (good OBP, little power)
2. DeJesus (good OBP, moderate power)
3. Aviles (good OBP, good power)
follow that with a healthy, developing Gordon, Butler and Guillen and you have a respectable top 6.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Still a long way from the MItchell Report.
Not that it makes it better (indeed, you make the right case against steroids [bad health effects >>> “national innocence”, but it sounds like the use, not the lack of use, of steroids would have caused those problems.

top that with a alternating cycle of any common muscle builder and depending on the sport
either a slight mix of low grade long term pain killer or antiinflammatories
What does the insulin do, exactly?

Any chance Hallady wins the Cy this year?
He’s not that far behind Lee in VORP (which the voters love, of course), and has just been awesome overall.
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG
I put his chances between 0 and -110%

Even if Lee chokes the last couple games while Hallady continues to rock?
Lee’s been better, but a slight bit luckier, so Halladay could conceivably outperform him. Lee has a better ERA and FIP, but Halladay has a better ERA-FIP and xFIP.

Nice little winning streak.
The boys are pulling together to save J. P.’s job, no doubt.
