The Count was on Rome today
« on: March 23, 2006, 04:06:43 pm »
Talked about 3 things:

1) Starting out 15-30 last year taught them about patience.  He thinks that when you don't give your minor leaguers a chance to develop into major leaguers it's a waste of your resources.  Also said that frequently if a guy that's great in the minors doesn't make it in the majors it's mental.  (Nothing special there)

2) Said that it was really tough for Bagwell right now.  He's taking today off and will be a DH in the next game he plays and they'll take it from there.  Thinks that the insurance timing thing was not good for them and it may have hurt the team's image some.  Thinks that the reports about the situation weren't really accurate.  (I missed the end of this segment)

3) (missed the beginning of this segment) He thinks Roger will end up pitching somewhere next year and hopes it is with the Astros.  His favorite part of Koby hitting a HR off of him was that he got buzzed on the next pitch.  He didn't think it was the first time that had happened.
Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

The Count?

not in the glossary
Remember Jesus Alou being called out of the 1st base coaching box to pinch-hit a double vs. the Reds in '79 I think, to win a crucial game, and he patted Morgan on top of the head (ala Benny Hill w/the little bald guy) and Little Joe got pissed.....yeah,that was great.

Count Purpula.
Another trenchant comment by a jealous lesser intellect.

Adminstrative slackers. No Count and no Wilson Sisters in the Glossary.

How about this nugget under "The Homer":  

2)assigned an additional entry on October 18, 2004, when ex-Astros and current Dodgers 2b Jeff Kent hit the game-winning home run in the 5th game of the NLCS against the Cardinals to cap off the best night in Astros playoff history

Umm...I would say that needs an update too.

3)  The epic blast by noted slugger Brad Ausmus to complete the Braves' Game 4 meltdown in the 2005 NLDS, which led to...

4)  The likely career highpoint of Chris Burke, to win the 2005 NLDS.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

The Wilson sisters is pure genius.
You see pal, that's who I am, and you're nothing. Nice guy, I don't give a shit. Good father, fuck you. Go home and play with your kids. You wanna work here, close. You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can't take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit?

Don't blame us because if some of the readership doesn't keep up well enough.
