Rasner's curve is legit. Earn a spot kid!

On another note, my cousin from Jersey just got a job as a Baltimore city Police.

So. That is um, well.

My entire knowledge of the Baltimore City Police comes from watching the Wire. If it's even remotely accurate, your cousin is one braver than average dude (which could probably be said about most police, I guess).

The Wire is just a great show. I loved when the guy from 25th Hour dropped his signature line in the second episode:

"Major crimes? Shieeeeetttt."

God, that show is awesome. Great writing.

Good luck to your cousin SJ. Cops don't get enough credit for the good they do, but that's just how it is.

And just for the hell of it, 25th Hour is a great movie. Among Spike's better joints.

"Someday, I want to walk down the street and people point to me and say to their kids, 'There goes the greatest number 9 hitter with a .280/.300/.400 upside, tops, that ever lived.'"


Handle change in honor of Robby Cano, American Hero™

I love the wire, it is a frequesnt topic in the lounge.

Phil Coorey and I told LABHW that if he rented the Wire and did not like it, we would pay for the DVDs. He ended up watching 3 seasons worth in 3 weeks.

Oh and last nights lineup was the greatest starting 9 in ML history.

Rasner's curve is legit. Earn a spot kid!

I think it might be. I really hope he pitches well tonight.
Funny, with all the offense the Yanks have been displaying, and with other reasons to watch such as Cano's surge and a possible shot at the batting title, Rasner is what I really what I'm tuning in to see.

*Rasner is really what I'm tuning in to see.

Kaye: Darrell Rasner will obviously not be involved in the Yankees postseason...
Really? So sure?

getting more sure

I live in the Baltimore. The Wire isn't too far off.

Well, ####, tough luck Rasner. See you in Spring Training 07.

No better way to go into the postseason than getting no-hit!

And see you next week (hopefully) Yankee offense? Geez, they finally face a guy that has some stuff and they proceed to get no-hit. Not a good sign going into October.

Don't worry, Cutter. Against Nate Robertson and Kenny Rogers, they'll do twice what the Blue Jays did against them.

That's assuming they get by Santana and the Twins.

If the Twins pass the Tigers this weekend, they'll get Detroit first.

No, it's assuming that the Twins take the division and the Tigers get the wildcard, thereby facing the Yankees.

OK. Then its assuming either one of the two.

Dear Orioles Pitchers,

What the ####, guys? The whole ####### year, you allow walk after walk to the whole goddamned league. To Tampa. To Toronto. To Boston. To ####### Kansas City. Then, when you face the Yankees, you turn into the second ############# coming of Cy ############# Young. How the hell does that happen? Does Rockin' Leo give you an extra reacharound if you don't #### up against us or something? How's about a little help, here? Stop thowing the ####### ball over the ####### plate and go back to your usual rocking ways. Especially that Loewen kid, he's a little strike-throwing ####-lick.

OK, I'm all for making the first hit of the game a clean hit, but that last error there should probably have been a hit.

No that was just a bad read on Mora's part.

but that last error there should probably have been a hit.

With today's scoring, probably. But circumstances taken into consideration....

3 more.

well, now i'm REALLY pissed that i use those free tickets i had for today's game. stupid stupid stupid

Does any O's fan know if wearing glasses has contributed to Cabrera's improved control?

it has improved his control, but his conservative hair/neckline will catch up with him.

Dotel is friggin' terrible.

Cano is not.

Robinson Cano is a scumbag.

ROBINSON CANO IS THE GREATEST HERO IN AMERICAN HISTORY!!! WOOT!

Good job by Cabrera, though. Bravo.

i [heart] cano

No 100-win teams this year now, either.

Good job by Cabrera, though. Bravo.

I think this confirms who the AL MVP is. Jeter doesn't play and the Yanks nearly get no-hit.

doh, so close. man Cano is good.


nice game DC.

Supposedly Cano and Cabrera have been friends for something like 20 years.

Phew. I was at this game and not looking forward to the possibility of them being no-hit. Thank god for Robby Cano!

I officially hate Robinson Cano.

But I hate him like I hate Jeter, not like I hate Giambi and Sheffield.
