Around SBN: The End Of Sabanball: Details, Barbarians, And Precision

Yankees 5, Mets 3: Chicks Dig the Long Ball

From where I sat in section 408, Phil Hughes looked brilliant except for 2 pitches to Jose Reyes.

The highlight of the game, for me, was getting to chant 'Jose josejosejose' after Hughes K'd him to end the 5th.

What a difference a day makes though...  Did you know that the Yankees had exactly 1 more baserunner for today's game than they had in Friday's game?  And did you know that the 1 extra baserunner was a walk- 8 hits in both games.  But 5 runs means that the offense showed up (LoHud) and Yankees' bats awaken (NYPost).

Why let facts get in the way of a good narrative, right guys?

From the swings I watched, Cano is still hot, Tex is still hitting everything in the air and getting lucky when a long fly bounces over the fence, GGBG is able to slap hits to all fields more than I expected, and Swisher belongs in the 2 spot.

The day will come when the pitchers struggle through a couple turns in the rotation.  It's a long season, and we shouldn't expect a quality start from every pitchers.  But watching Hughes today reminds me a lot of Roger Clemens' 2001 when he seems to have his A game every start.

Play of the Game: Reyes' second homer swung the odds 18% toward the Mets.  Granderson's homer brought them 17.3% for the Yankees, Tex's homer moved the odds 17.2% for the Yanks.

Comment of the Game: I wasn't around for the game thread, so nominate a CoG in the comments below and I'll pick a winner in the morning.

In the meantime, feel free to use this as your open thread for the night.

Its not going to happen

Those two teams are too good to fall that far behind. The Rays had a special start, they have been a joke most of their existence, so whats the big deal they got some praise? Is ESPN suppose to ignore the team with baseballs best record?

just saying when u have a chance to gain even a small lead

take it. I have nothing against rays praise but it sometimes go over the top. =\ i remember saying the rays will slow down a lot later on despite their great start and you ragged on me for it. w/e it really doesn;t matter now just gotta keep winning

That's the truth, it doesn't matter what any of the other teams do

As long as the Yanks take care of business, everything will fall into place. I never said the Rays wouldn’t come back to earth, just that they weren’t going to just fade away.

GRITS. ARE. DELICIOUS. They go so well with both eggs, either over easy or scrambled, and with bacon.

Also, omelets are easy as long as you have a working oven. Just mix your omelete ingredients in the egg mix, pour into small frying pans, then once the bottom is heated up nicely, put the pan in the oven for a little bit to get the top right.

With omeletes it's hard to flip/fold

Because it’s usually too heavy where if you flip it, it’ll break apart. If you keep it in the oven, on high heat for a bit, it’ll cook the top well enough.

I love raw yolk bursting out of an Over Easy Egg

cause then I can sop it up with Toast or an English Muffin.

I like the yolk the best

which is why I always try to make them that way and they always break and I end up with half scrambled eggs.

I like to make a sandwich on a bagel with melted cheese and ham and an over easy egg.

And then when you get into the middle the raw yolk is like sauce on the sandwich.

by Lord Duggan on Jun 20, 2010 1:58 AM EDT up reply actions  

At diners

I usually like to go with the English Muffin Bacon & Over Easy sammich. I order two eggs over easy with bacon, eat one egg separate, then put the other and some bacon on the toasted eng. muffin, then sop the yolk up!

No really, it’s like very finely milled corn. Kind of the consistency of oatmeal but a little less thick.

That's true.

But I’ll probably have to be cutting back on my posse membership Sundays-Tuesdays. Although, a lucky coincidence is the fact that none of my classes are during normal game times.

Well....

One thing to do is lift the pan towards you. Make sure to use a thin, metal spatula. Plastic ones usually suck. The trick is to try and do it quickly and close to the pan. Even so, there’s never a guarantee, so don’t feel too bad.

I mean, I watch em, cause they're Star Wars and I don't expect much from Star Wars.

But they are still awful, awful movies which show what happens when you give George Lucas total control over his movies.

On YouTube, there’s a guy who reviewed Episodes 1 & 2, and they are the most brilliant analytical reviews of the movie I’ve ever seen.

"WHO WOULD LEAD?! THE CLOWN?!"

by I'mGivingYouARaise on Jun 20, 2010 1:21 AM EDT up reply actions  

Well, I think that some of the older movies get a little bit overhyped (original Star Wars, original Indiana Jones, etc.). I mean they’re good and everything, but if you watch some of them now, they’re really nothing special.

Like go watch the Temple of Doom and tell me that’s a good movie. But if they make a new Indy movie (which admittedly, sucks) there’s all of these high and mighty 40 year olds talking about “destroying the legend” and I find that to be equally annoying.

by Lord Duggan on Jun 20, 2010 1:23 AM EDT up reply actions  

Temple of Doom was easily the weakest out of the three, no doubt.

But it’s still enjoyable, and the plot makes sense, despite awful Kate acting skills.

The 4th movie is a travesty, not because it’s a bad Indy movie, but because it’s an all around terrible movie.

"WHO WOULD LEAD?! THE CLOWN?!"

by I'mGivingYouARaise on Jun 20, 2010 1:26 AM EDT up reply actions  

I’m not defending the moive, it was really really bad. I just think that the original movies get put on this pedestal that exceeds how good they actually are.

Like they’re enjoyable in a corny, old fashioned, classical kind of way, but none of the Indy movies would make any lists of my favorites.

(But the best one is definitely Last Crusade, that one might have a shot)

by Lord Duggan on Jun 20, 2010 1:29 AM EDT up reply actions  

That's what makes the Indy movies so good though.

They are so corny, and lovable. It’s what makes the Last Crusade the best one, because of the flawless relationship between Indy and his father.

"WHO WOULD LEAD?! THE CLOWN?!"

by I'mGivingYouARaise on Jun 20, 2010 1:31 AM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah having Sean Connery makes Last Crusade better than the rest, but I’m not hugely into the corny, goofy, type of action movie.

Like I find all of the Die Hard type action movies to be absolutely awful.

And please don’t think I was comparing Indy to Die Hard, just explaining my preferences.

by Lord Duggan on Jun 20, 2010 1:33 AM EDT up reply actions  

Fair enough.

Myself, I love the corny action movie genre. Classic Arnold movies like Commando are movies I can watch again and again.

Ok, Arnold is a whole nother story. His movies are awesome and I totally agree, but they’re awesome because of Arnold, not because of the actual movie.

If you took those movies and subbed in any other “action movie star” like Stallone, Statham, etc. I would probably hate each one of them.

by Lord Duggan on Jun 20, 2010 1:47 AM EDT up reply actions  

Well with Die Hard

They are over the top, and I personally think none can stand up to the first one, because of the brilliant lines, plus the extra special awesomeness that is Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber.

I mean, I still want a Holiday Doormat that says, “NOW I HAVE A MACHINE GUN. HO HO HO!”

by I'mGivingYouARaise on Jun 20, 2010 1:51 AM EDT up reply actions  

Okay, I have to admit, I do like a lot of the first Die Hard movie. And Alan Rickman rocks.

I saw Live Free or Die Hard in theaters with some of my friends because they wanted to see it, and after watching Bruce Willis and Justin Long talk about computers and blow stuff up for two hours, I literally felt like I had lost 2/3 of my brain cells.

by Lord Duggan on Jun 20, 2010 1:54 AM EDT up reply actions  

The 3rd one is enjoyable

because I just love quoting Samuel L. Jackson, plus I thought both he & Bruce Willis had good chemistry in the movie. The other two are fun, but pretty forgettable.
