I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

I'm an even sadder nerd and want to find a way to figure out a saying that incorporates Kang the Conqueror

Why don't you just call him Kang the Conqueror? The best referential nicknames don't need a whole phrase.

For example, it's "Crime Dog Fred McGriff", not "Take a bite out of the pitcher, Crime Dog Fred McGriff."

And on that note, Daniel Murphy apparently "disagrees" with Billy Bean's "lifestyle." (Bean's visiting Mets camp).

Goddammit

For a second I thought that the lifestyle he disagreed with was visiting the Mets camp for any reason.

The truth was a lot less funny. :smith:

When I saw that hat, the first word that came to mind was, "gently caress." It's the F-word of hats.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Of course it is.

Mark Bowman reported today that Callaspo is not guaranteed a spot on the Braves roster since he showed up to camp overweight and they have a bunch of guys who could play 2nd/3rd. Probably just some tough talk from the Braves about "spring training competition" but it would be kind of funny if they dumped one of the few veterans with at least some track record of being a competent hitter.

So I'm going to be doing a road trip down to Florida to see a week of spring training. Sox play in Fort Meyers, so that's where I'll be spending most of my time.

People who've done the Spring Training thing, and/or people from around the area, any tips? This will be my first visit to Spring Training.

Sucks, I love sitting in the bleachers and I wonder how this will effect ticket prices and how crowded it will feel in the stands.
