The Swamp

Pitcher made six plate appearances?

Clue: It involves one player and one statistic. It might not pop off the page, but it is the only instance since the 1985 season. Between 1913 and 1970, it happened over 400 times. Does it involve Mike Hampton pinch hitting? Yeah, was thinking that, but don't think a pitcher pinch-hitting for a pos...

I can't even think what gesture would be appropriate there and doable at waist level. Like I'm guessing I know which one, but its weird. It's a pretty common one and probably the one you're thinking of. The whole point was that I was frustrated and not trying to get in anyone's face about it. Just ...

Yeah, curious to hear that story. I've calmed down to the point where I don't want to get into a big thing, but I was exasperated with some moron they had working there (I was merely asking for direction to will call to pick up my tickets and she had no idea where it was despite the fact it was alm...

Perfect, thanks Brian. Since I am staying at the Venetian, will just plan on getting down there early enough to grab a seat for the early games. We are flying out Sunday late afternoon, so the 10 am games are the ones I will want to bet. You ever play the poker room cash games (non-tournaments)? En...

My wife and I are meeting a couple friend in Vegas this weekend - best part is none of this was my idea - the wives hatched it. Jen and I are staying at the Venetian, and other than a comedy club thing Saturday night and dinner both nights, rest of time is relatively open for me. I am planning on a...

The DBT show was meh. Ok but they were a little off. And the venue was shit. I'll get into that at some point.

Sigur Ros was unbelievable. Everything I could have imagined. Like PDX said the stage set/lights were almost as amazing as the music. The crowd was crazy quiet during the set. I think they were more in awe than exhibiting good manners.

Eastern Michigan beat Ohio yesterday for the first time since 1994. More amazingly it was their third straight win on the road first time they've won three straight road games since 1967.

NV legislature approves welfare for billionaire. Fuck my life, the Raiders are likely moving to Las Vegas.

45 minutes until Sigur Ros. Insanely excited.

Also try not to get stabbed. We had Keg to intimidate any would-be evildoers. Despite him being a Dodger fan he's a good guy. You should gift him a ticket to act as de facto security.

Yeah if I had it all to do over again I would Uber from parking near (but not too near the stadium).

I wasn't paying as close attention as I thought. Looked like he got pulled after the tying homer. My bad.

I was at bowling and without sound but was there a compelling reason Dusty pulled Scherzer at only about 100 pitches?

For whatever reason, it feels like this has enabled her to be more like her real self too (which is to her benefit). I think Trump's plan to "go on the warpath" might benefit her if for that alone. It will humanize Hillary.

Michigan would have won 78-77 (assuming they only could score the "conventional" way.

Watching the Trump rally... discussing the Time(?) writer that accused him of groping her. He literally just said "Take a look at her, I don't think so." ETA" "Polls are showing us in a dead heat." Yeah, his defense is basically that she's too much of a pig for him to have ...

Pretty incredible speech.

More likely is that he doubles down on his recent insanity. Might accuse Hillary of actually being a man.

Supposedly just tweeted out he's going to give a "major" speech at noon today from Florida.

NHL Network should definitely be showing more stuff like that, I agree. Live look-ins and showing games with a lot of the great younger players on horrible teams. Seems like it's pretty much the network's reason for existing. NBC, for better or worse, has to take a more short-sighted view to draw ra...

Sure, I'd like to see some of those young guys play a little more, but I get to see them when they play Anaheim and LA if I really want to. Or go to Tuesday Night Hockey at the local sports bar where they play all of the games. And I'll get to see their games next year against LV. The point is I can...

NBC and NBCSN have little interest in running too many games with Canadian teams seeing as how their networks aren't....you know....available in Canada. They're not running a charity. They have to be able to sell ads and have people watch the games to sell ads, etc. My beef with them is they don't s...

Seems like they do a lot of it for shock value for some reason, but their prizes are endowed from now until the end of time so not like they have to answer to anyone. I'm really not that upset about them giving it to Dylan, if they were ever going to award it to a musician he's probably the right o...

Thought the Leafs outdoor game was against Detroit in the Centennial Classic. Do they have two? Or the Oilers have zero? Yeah, I read that wrong. I read it as "against each other". Though I seldom understand why people bitch about an American TV network not showing Canadian teams enough, ...

You seem pretty set on the Mazda so that's fine, but one man's opinion -- I have several friends and family members who have the Ford Escape that's built on the same platform and which should be similarly priced and they all love it. For whatever reason, my anecdotal experience with people who've h...

I like Dylan OK but this is so fucking dumb especially when there are so many deserving novelists who haven't been awarded it.

I dunno. If you're going to extrapolate an entire season out of one game I think they'd be pretty happy with 82 points and Matthews scoring 324 goals this season.

Floodgates are opening with reports of Trump grop-ees.

Well, we only loved two out of the three, so....

Finally.

Just when I thought the Trump nomination wouldn't severely damage the Republican Party, Trump is in full attack mode after losing the endorsement of so many key Republicans. I have to imagine he loses some votes for diehard Republicans who were planning on voting for him, and I do believe there are...

Yeah, the Shipwreck Museum is a must-see if you're in the UP. I love how a lot of those towns are so small the restaurants don't even have names. Just a big sign out front saying "FOOD" since it's literally the only restaurant in town.

Not sure how most of you guys feel about female alt-country/Americana but the new Lydia Loveless album (Real) is the balls. I was a fan of her first two, but this is a big step up. Psyched she's going to be opening for DBT in Phoenix on Saturday.

Currently sitting in a small restaurant in Grand Marais, Michigan, enjoying an Upper Hand UPA with my lunch. Better to be drinking this than outside where it is pouring rain and 48 degrees. Pretty country up there. Assume you were visiting Pictured Rocks? Used to go camping every summer for a weeke...
