F%#king Comcast
DirecTV has absolutely no peer for sports fans. None. Comcast is the Pirates to DirecTV’s Yankees.
No game tonight.
And yes, I have MLB.tv and will watch, but 46 inch flat screen > 15 inch mac monitor.
I seriously thought I could live with Comcast after moving from my last apartment. HUGE mistake. I should have kept DirecTV on my must-have list.

Nice Long AB for Fonte
7 pitches, 8th coming. There’s a reason he’s second on the team (to Dome) in Pit/PA

Headley singles to CF
It's shocking what you can miss sometimes. The amazing color changing card trick.
No. Miles allowed Headly to reach by not hustling.

so what you're really saying is...
Miles is the Anti-Lilly.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Miles is the anti-everything-that's-good-with-the-world,
or the Antichrist, if you wanna get specific.
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.
If I were a betting man,
I’d put my money on Miles staying with the team throughout his contract…
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.
Hendry will probably try to trade him in the offseason (good luck with that)...
…but he’ll probably go to spring training with the Cubs. Maybe some other team will have some infield injuries and Jimbo can dump him. Otherwise, if he doesn’t show huge huge huge improvement, he’ll be cut at the end of ST.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
That's the optimistic scenario
but at this rate, I believe we’ll still bitch about him next year, even if the little [expletive] wins the WS MVP this year.

Kouzmanoff walks
I blame Miles

If he doesn't sign ...

You get the extra pick anyway.
You’re a kid that age chasing a dream and staring at that much cash, you wanna sit on the sidelines for two years and risk getting drafted by the Nats again?
He can't be drafted by same team again without his permission

Game isn't on TV
hurts things. I’m going to go watch the Daily Show in a few minutes and find out the score in the morning.
There is no such thing as an ugly female breast
It is in Chicago
but the joy of watching Ted is negated by having Miles in the lineup.

Miles in the lineup negates the joy of...

5) Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream with chocolate syrup, smushed into the ice creamy soup thing.

Blows my mind every time
There is no such thing as an ugly female breast
Aaron Miles and Albert Pujols have similar SO% and Contact%
they are both excellent at putting the bat on the ball, but very different things happen after that point.

Soriano?
I’m checking in late. He’s out? Is a message being sent? Injury? They had the day off yesterday.
That's it
If Kevin Gregg is still our closer tomorrow I’m done with baseball… I can’t take it anymore!
JUST ANOTHER PART
of the Lou circus…..Yes he will still continue to be the closer. ( For what is left of this season )
I feel terrible...
For the guys on this team that actually want to win. All 4 or 5 of them. The guys that hustle, play smart and try and win games. WTF is wrong with Lou? If Kevin Gregg pitches another inning then it is official, they have thrown in the towel… This sucks.
He's my guy
How many times has that been said about Gregg this year
