Colby Rasmus got his world series ring this morning ... why didnt LaRussa just fedex it?

Barry Davis ‏@SNBarryDavis
So as it turns out LaRussa came to Jays clubhouse, dropped off the ring, and has now left. No personal presentation. #bluejays

LaRussa is just a cantankerous old man...

I know they had issues with one another but how about class-ing things up Tony?

You can't spell Tony Larussa without A-S-S.

i'm going to the tigers game tomorrow. sure hope they don't get blown out 13-0 again

That game was horrible. Turner needs more time in the minors. Last two weeks the Tigers have responded to losses well, so hope you see a good one.

rice 1, water 0!

Hiya, Higgy! What's up?

I've mentioned it before, but if you have Twitter follow @NatGeo . They have some great stuff.

I've completely moved into my new house, but we don't have internet yet. We're working on that now.

Today, lab work has given me some difficulty. I've been storing my sample in the -80 freezer in another group's lab, because it will slow the inevitable break down of my sample, but they moved it to the regular freezer, so now I'm on borrowed time and need to get data quickly before the sample is ruined. I haven't found signal yet, though, so I'll keep tinkering.

And that scrape on my leg is still draining, but it's getting much better.

I guess I need to boil it some more, because it's still hard.

Not much, busy with work n stuff. Remodeling our townhouse, and its become more than we planned, ugh. Almost done with the living room, then we start on the kitchen.

"at least he tried"

This seems like the appropriate thread for this, though I apologize if it's already been posted. Darkstone in particular might like it.

What would happen if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90% of the speed of light?

 

[quoipourquoi]

A careful reading of official Major League Baseball Rule 6.08(b) suggests that in this situation, the batter would be considered "hit by pitch", and would be eligible to advance to first base.

I saw that yesterday, actually. I was going to post it here, then got tied up with work. It's pretty awesome.

 

[Darkstone42]

I am an idiot.

For all practical purposes, my search for signal was fruitless because I had the laser turned down.

I didn't read this, cause reading is for fucking pussies. Winners never read...they do. But I can only assume I swat a big ass home run. Then I'd look at the pitcher and yell "Light speed pitch?...you're fucking out!"

But seriously, you should read it. It's both fascinating and often quite funny.

Oh I did. It was awesome. Kenny Powers' just refused to.
