PrintNot that I give the Royals any credit for playing him, since if TPJ was hitting .220 instead of .150 the man would still be in the minors, but Mike Aviles is redeeming years of Huberite, Brazellean and Pickeringesque fan frustration.

I think
Miguel Olivo was like a Fat Joker there… He was like a dog running after a car—he wouldn’t know what to do if he caught it. Carrasco = a car.
it’s broke up…. Carrasco hit Olivo on the wrist up by his face as he was ducking. Olivo threw his helmet and came out to meet Carassco who was going to pick up the ball that rolled all the way back to the mound…

Now that I think about it
Olivo is an ex-White Sox guy…

Any of you guys ever been in a baseBRAWL?
Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.
Let's here the story.
We had one at Fort Hays State one time. Their coach came after ours after we hit their stud with 91 in the back. He deserved it.
Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.
Our catcher caught a ball at the plate and had the runner out by 7 or 8 steps
and the runner just plowed him. Catcher ended up on his back with the runner on top of him. Catcher started throwing punches immediately. Benches cleared and for a few minutes it was pretty crazy. Our CF had time to come in and throw some punches.
I had a homer taken away from me
for having too much pine tar on my plastic whiffle ball bat.
Does that count?

I tacked a guy once
who charged my pitcher, and shot him in the kidney a couple of times before the pile landed on us. (I was playing 2B, and the pitcher retreated.)
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
The only real negative here is that Olivo is going to be suspended for a game or 2
But for a backup catcher, that’s not a big deal. He’ll just appeal until the team is about to face a couple of RHP’s in a row and then drop his appeal. No harm done.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

This morning
these kids came in and somehow got two people really mad at them and the guard on duty. Don’t ask me how. I came in, they came back, they were still a pain in the ass. Then these girls claimed to have lost a ring in the pool and got in the way of the lap swimmers. what a day. :P

if it's too big
they do fall off. and water makes rings slip off easy. She shouldn’t have worn it in the pool, but it’s completely plausible.

I work at a jewelry store,
you should really never were a ring in a pool. Especially if it’s been sized. It’ll eat away the solder, and put a nasty color on the gold til the next time you get it polished.
gah
don’t remind me about jewelry. It makes me think about the ring mom got me 5 years ago that I’ve been neglecting a bit…

they searched for it for about half an hour and couldn’t find it. I told them it might come up in the vacuum and to check back at the lost and found tomorrow.

Dang it Teahan.....
Bring in the relief pitcher to face AJ. The shutout is gone…

If only Aviles had enough PA's
However, he’s got a legit shot at the batting title (Which sounds really weird)
Quick and dirty calc
Aviles would have to hit .375 with 4 PA/game the rest of the way to be “credited” with .325 for batting title purposes.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
if he hits 375...his average is going to be somewhere north of 340

the more i think about it
tthe more i don’t see any point in playing TPJ here. it’s not as though the Sox are going to win because they hit a bunch of singles past Aviles. their only hope is dingers…

So I'm going to guess that there is zero chance of TPJ moving to the pen
where he could have a (possible) positive contribution to the team
What a great day.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my lazy Sunday. Royals killing the White Sox with Greinke on the mound plus Pierzynski getting hit in the head and Ozzie Guillen taking an early shower is about the perfect formula.
Looks like Zack wanted to leave

If he was gonna drill someone so he could go get the air conditioning and chipotle, it shoulda been AJ.
