I smell a Twitter

Has anything meaningful, worthwhile or even worth reading ever been transmitted trough Twitter?

do you like seeing Will Carr*ll communicate with various female entertainers?

by Freneau on May 4, 2009 4:46 PM EDT up reply actions

Oy vey

Hearing about that man sniffing after young hotties is just plain sad.

you may have missed it over the weekend

but twitter has also informed me that Sterger is doing some kind of photoshoot with snakes

Wow

It’s good to see that Jenn is taking her career to the next level.

it appeared she was filming a movie of some kind

looked like the sort of schlocky-horror fare paris hilton has made a foray into

"I saw _ __'s awesome butt up close

but Jenn S>, no, that ‘s too obvious, let’s call her J. Sterger, said that I wasn’t allowed to post her famous friend’s name on the internet."

Wait, did he really say that?

no,

but I, too, think my version is pretty Carroll-esque

His goofy girl-watching BS does make it harder for me to take him seriously

I mean, I have my own goofy BS, but if I were writing at BP, I think I’d keep it to myself.

James Joyce originally wrote “Ulysses” on his twitter feed.

MOD PARENT UP

I logged in just to rec this. I don’t know if anyone else has put it that way before, but this is perhaps the FUNNIEST Twitter joke I have ever read or may ever read.

Thank God for Twitter

I will only be impressed, however, if he keeps it in the dugout and jumps on it to pedal out to the mound for a pitching change…or even better, to get to one of the umpires faster to argue a call.

On another interesting note,

Coco Crisp plays World of Warcraft

Cool

It kind of seems like Crisp is at least somewhat outside of the simple jock stereotype. I wonder what his character looks like.

I'm sure Schilling got him started on it

he also reads fantasy novels I think

by Freneau on May 4, 2009 5:55 PM EDT up reply actions

i only hope he can find time in his retired life to give us his thoughts on A-Rod vs. Roberts

not to mention Obama’s first 100 days, Chrysler, Gaza, the New Historicism, etc.

Hell, he named his kid

Except he messed it up and named her

Amighty? It definitely wasn’t Hermione as they both misheard the name.

Callaspo – 2B

Olivo – C

Aviles – SS

Greinke – P

Very sensible

What am I supposed to do with all my outrage if I can’t direct it at Trey?

Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com

by RoyalsRetro on May 4, 2009 5:19 PM EDT up reply actions

Well, I will go ahead and quibble

Why does Callaspo continue to hit behind two out of three low OBP guys in Guillen and Jacobs, and right before an out machine like Olivo? I’d put AC in the 2 hole, DDJ at 5, and move Butler and Jacobs down a slot.

I'm just happy Trey sticks to his guns

Just listened to Trey's presser

-Said they would stick with Aviles
-Said they would stick with Ponson
-In passing, he said in reference to the “Soria argument” that guys have to play their way out of roles. So Soria won’t be moved to the rotation until he starts to suck! Hooray!

by RoyalsRetro on May 4, 2009 5:19 PM EDT reply actions

This may be a dumb question,

but is it entirely TH’s decision as to what role Soria plays or does DM have as much (if not more) of a say?

I would think that a move to rotation would have to come from Moore

by mazoboom on May 4, 2009 5:56 PM EDT up reply actions

yeah

the “ruling” pretty clearly came down from on high, which is the right way to do things, whether you agree with the decision or not. I think front offices should be firmer with managers in general, if not micromanaging
