My first move would be to sit Gomez and play Marisnick for more than just one game. The pitching will get adjusted when McCullers comes back.

let's also be clear that we are definitely entertaining offers of a possible forever home for an insane canine (just in time for the holidays!)

i've found that great friendships are rare
is this one worth saving/salvaging?
because if it is (and if it were me) i would let go of the stuff that is bothering me
and find a way to look forward to the upcoming get-together
and, if the friendship isn't worth it to you, but it is to your wife
i would still tell you to let go of the stuff that is bothering you
and find a way to look forward to the upcoming get-together
because fuck it. if it's going to happen, you might as well enjoy yourself.

« on: October 08, 2010, 11:50:46 am »Because the business side knows that you and I are going to come to the ballpark no matter what stupid condiments they have racing around the field. But for the other 35k they want to draw to every game, they put on the spectacle.
And regardless of how ludicrous it is, it works. MMPUS is considered an entertainment destination in Houston. With a fairly crappy team for 2/3rds of the season, they still managed todrawsell tickets to nearly 29k a game.
Compare that to the 1992 team which drew less than 17k per contest. In the Astrodome (pre hanging gardens and fountains in the corners), in a slightly better economy.
My complaint isn't that they do it, more of why does it have to be so crappy?
a spectacle?

obviously this has been discussed between owner and gm
it would seem they are both saying the right things right now
although wade's comments are less "stay the course"
and seem a little more human by comparison
hopefully drayton thinks they are on the same page
but wade is skipping ahead one or two chapters...

« on: May 29, 2009, 04:19:46 pm »Ed Wade was on the Mongoloids of the Midday today. I had to hold my nose while I listened. I almost lost it when John-Lo said "we ask the tough questions around here, we're not afraid". They talked about Cooper, however, remember that Ed Wade spent years as a PR man. He was slick today... but if you want to read between the lines, he said something very interesting. He talked about the rule in the MLB about the clubhouse must be opened to the media ten minutes after a game. "It's hard to be at your best sometimes under those conditions and you're not always going to say the right thing". When he said that, I paused for a moment to let it sink in.
Did he call Cooper out, but made it a soft landing by saying it happens to all managers nowadays, no big deal?
was it said in reference to the oswalt post-game comments?
or just in general?

How is the programming on HD radio different than what's already on commercial radio?
that's difficult to answer because everyone is doing their own thing
but, maybe that's the answer to your question
some local stations seem to be using a format that's been provided by their parent company
for example, here in houston, cumulus' 104.1 hd is billed as a 'classic alternative jack'
clear channel's sunny 99.1 is doing smooth jazz. in my opinion, the buzz does it the best
with their 'free buzz' channel. kilt is doing a 'strait country' on one of their hd's
i don't listen to the arrow, but their hd is triple-a and is so much better than 93.7
outside of music, i know that 90.1 has bbc news, and kuhf has a spanish npr channel

Beer and Queso / Re: XM/Sirius merger
« on: February 05, 2009, 09:25:45 pm »To be honest, I'm not familiar with HD radio. Do tell.
i'm waiting to see what happens this year before i invest in a receiver for myself
i do know several people that have hd radio and i can tell you the quality is fantastic
it would seem that it could conceivably rival subscription radio if it continues to move forward
but right now stations don't have permission from the fcc to transmit their digital signals
at a high enough wattage to reach outlying areas (where i spend most of my time)
but that hasn't stopped local fm's from programming some very cool digital options
you will never be able to talk me into paying $$ monthly to listen to my radio
so, for me, this is a very exciting possibility. it may not suit your purposes at all
