I was watching Dr. Phil on Wednesday or Thursday (yes, I’m a fan of Dr. Phil’s)…well, anyway, he had a woman on who had been on before who was trying to escape a bad marriage where her husband had physically abused her.
I was getting pretty steamed watching. They showed bumps, bruises, every thing in the book on her that her husband had did to her.
I just see RED when I see or hear of a woman getting physically abused. I mean, ANY abuse towards a woman is bad….but it’s the physical that gets me riled to no end.

From the story on Mac going on the DL:
“Teammates said it would require a group effort to compensate… “We’re just going to have to pitch well and have timely hitting, that’s all you can do,” right fielder Jeff Francoeur said.”
I’ve often wondered why a team waits to “step it up” until a teamate is down for a while? Why not just ALWAYS play like that. I’ve thought the goal all along (with or without Mac) was to pitch good, and get timely hits?
If losing Mac to the DL was all it took to get this team on the right track, Bobby and Wren should have just put him on the 60 day DL while they’re at it.
I appreciate the guys realizing they need to focus and do what they can do in his abscence. But these guys are all being paid a ton of money. I think they should be able to do their job to the best of their ability ALL the time.
Imagine how the team would function if they “pitched good and got timely hits”, along with having both Chipper and Mac in the lineup? We’d be unstoppable.
Sorry for the sarcasm. Long day. It appears the Braves have righted the ship (for now) and that the Marlins hot start was more mirage than reality.
This division is gonna be a 4-way dogfight from the looks of it.

I’ve already tried to start the “rally” so to speak about Jordan hitting 1st…
Also, I read that some feel that it won’t matter if he hits 1 because Yunel hits 2 and doesn’t take many pitches…However, I have seen Yunel take lots of pitches w/ the leadoff man actually on base in front of him IF he knows he’s going to do something…
2 keys there under IF:
1) Kelly is hardly ever on base now and certainly not when he leads off an inning usually
2) When Kelly IS on, he’s never a threat to steal anything other than maybe a hug from Glenn Hubbard

I also am more into college ball than Pro ball…then again it helps having season tix to college games w/ no pro team closer than the Bulls 3-hrs away…that and gas and everything just being way too expensive to road trip it like I used to.
It is nice to find an individual of the opposite sex w/ such great knowledge about baseball AND basketball…I didn’t know women like you existed!

I just had the best idea ever. Colored closed caption to show emotion. They could come up with a code. Red for angry-sounding. Superbright red for very angry-sounding. Yellow for warm-sounding. White for cold. Blue for depressed-sounding.
I know, the hearing impaired are used to reading emotions in tiny details of expression, and can do that with the actors. But hearing people get both audio and visual clues to spoken words, and there are a lot of nuances achieved by the combination. Especially when someone looks one way and sounds another.
Colored closed captioning would give (at least a hearing person’s interpretation of) some of the audio clues to combine with their excellent visual instincts. IN FACT, and here’s why it’s brilliant, it would add layers of understanding to their visual clues. Because they would “hear” what kinds of voices go with what kind of faces in tons of combinations.

I’d like to see Jordan lead off eventually too, but don’t forget that hitting 8th brings a few walks with it. Would he have had 12 walks if he weren’t hitting in front of the pitcher?
