I do know quite a few of them. :) Meet them at conferences all the time. But I feel flattered that an American understands the global importance of TB research. Most people I meet in NYC ask me why I waste my time on that instead of studying cancer.
having a phd doesn't make you amazingly dextrous.
kevin, give you a hint. my brother lives in sofia.
kavorka.
No offense, but you suck, dude.
Is that why Gameday is hung up?
I have yet to figure out what I plan on doing with the mathematics degree I plan on getting.
Maybe they just did a good job of selling it.
I appreciate your interest in my future career, btw, and your offer to help out. I've got too many ties to the NYC area right now though, so it probably won't be easy to leave here for a couple of years, which is why I'm looking for jobs here first. If you know anyone around here, I'll gladly listen...
Byrd has been a very good pick up for the Angels.
Yeah, when you're born into that kind of tradition, you can never leave it behind.
Fun R&D on Uncle Sam's dime.
If Larry Young is anywhere near an Angels post-season game, I swear, I may bring a gun and shoot him. What a ####### dick of an umpire.
Do the Red Sox always get a homefield umpire advantage? I haven't seen one pitch in any game of this series, but from the descriptions on Chatter, it sounds like they got the benefit of terrible calls both here and on some Ortiz check swing yesterday.
I was just looking at the LL's website. Interesting stuff. I might not be able to work there until I get my US citizenship tho. Fine print.
I don't hate the Angels, in fact I kind of still like 'em for crushing the MFY's in 2002. Good work.
Not with Cöck?ucker the Crew Chief out there.
Nixon jumps, makes the catch, lands in the stands, hangs for a second, THEN Cabrera leaves. Not. Even. Close.
The check swing was a bad call.
Yeah, but it was close. It was bad, but I can live with an umpire screwing up that call. It happens. And it wasn't a clearly obvious swing. This play tonight was.....Little League umps, VOLUNTEER Little League umps don't screw up calls that bad.
So, is levski's father the district attorney, now?
On another note, through 5 innings, neither starter deserves to lose.
The next game, Young made the call at first that Jarron Washburn had missed first on a 3-6-1 DP attempt. From my vantage point in the ballpark that day, he was dead wrong, though the TV replays I saw later were highly inconclusive, and Jarrod did do a bad job of selling it.
I do prefer Larry Young to Doug Eddings, who didn't acknowledge that Catcher's Interference had happened when Darin Erstad's bat knocked John Buck's glove three feet away from his hand, as though Buck routinely just throws his glove off his hand in the attempt to catch balls on the outside corner.
The only other thing I can think of is that he didn't see Trot actually catch it and he misinterpreted something as the catch which actually happened a second after it.
good chatting with you, kevin. [and i promise myself to never ever enter a discussion about steroids in which you're partaking :) i mean, what does it matter if giambi juiced, right? it's just a game.
Joe West isn't necessarily a bad umpire, but he's a real jerk when he defends bad/disputed calls. It's one thing to be firm and confident in the calls you make; it's another to be arrogant and confrontational about it.
I agree, I can't recall any particular mistakes. With Joe, it's more an attitude thing that's annoying to me; I've seen him incite players and managers in situations where most umps would de-escalate rather than incite.
I actually would have named someone else if I could have thought of his name --- (Googles) -- yeah, Ted Barrett is worse.

He also takes ~ 45 seconds bt. pitches when there are men on base.
This inning sucks, and the key play was another 0-2 hit. I hate 0-2 hits.
C Kotchman grounded into fielders choice to first, B Molina out at second, D Erstad to third.
B Molina grounded into fielders choice to shortstop, V Guerrero scored, D Erstad to second.
WTF? None of these turn into double plays, and one doesn't even turn into an out?!?!
This may be the oddest game evah.
Why can't we hit this hump Bird? Hw throws abosolute crap up there. He walks nobody, which helps.
Tito: PINCH RUNNER.
Where is everybody? There's a pennant race on.
One of the most fun aspects of this team is that they are never out of it.
Still, there should be a pinch runner for Millar. TITO!
I'm here. I just got nothin' to say.
I suppose it depends on the how good of a batter you really think Millar is. I'd like to see, with the expanded rosters, Tito pinch run with Machado. Then, bring in Kapler for defense. When that spot comes back up, there is still Petagine on the bench (and Stern for defense).
I think Millar is so bad a runner, and each run important, that I'd rather see this happen. But, you are right, this isn't the 9th.
Shields sounded money in the car.
How were Shields' pitches? Good/consistent calls?
