really quite manic: July 2008

Monday, July 28, 2008. Go For Gold, But Make It Quick. I caught this a couple days ago. Be rule changes with regards to extra-innings Olympic. Baseball. Apparently baseball is too slow for Olympic. Standards of sport, and officials aren't crazy about the concept of baseball games capable of continuing forever. What's the silliest, most T-ball way to end an extra-inning baseball game? Came up with these adjustments. 1) From the 11 th. 2) In the 11 th. So, come the 11 th. There's also the issue of who gets...

Monday, June 27, 2011. Mariners: Just A Bit Outside. The Mariners did a very interesting and bizarre thing yesterday. Actually, the Marlins did most of the work and the M's happily capitalized. But, just to be clear, scoring what would become the winning run on an attempted intentional walk doesn't happen all that often. Nearly never. The play again, until MLB makes me take it down for some reason. For the record, Jack McKeon could probably beat me up. Shoot, I'm missing baseball, aren't I? Upper Deck ne...

really quite manic: May 2008

Monday, May 26, 2008. Kansas City @ Toronto, 5-23-08: ALL YOU CAN POSSIBLY STAND TO EAT. The Blue Jays decided to try out the All-You-Can-Eat option this past weekend in Toronto (where patrons can purchase a ticket that guarantees them a seat to the game, plus all the hot dogs, peanuts, popcorn, nachos, and soda they can handle). Naturally I was all over that. Most of the dome was empty, but the AYCE sections were packed. They gave us wristbands that allowed us to pluck whatever food we wanted (and howev...

really quite manic: Mariners: Getting To Know David Pauley
http://reallyquitemanic.blogspot.com/2011/06/mariners-getting-to-know-david-pauley.html
Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Mariners: Getting To Know David Pauley. I just added David Pauley to my fantasy baseball team. I know absolutely nothing about him. Let's discover Mr. Pauley. together! I chose to replace him with David Pauley for a couple reasons. First of all, when I drop a player I like to replace him with somebody who fields the same position. It maintains the balance of the universe, or something. Secondly, Pauley's at-a-glance stats are extraordinary. ERA = 0.94. WHIP = 0.76. Opponents are...

really quite manic: Mariners: KG,J
http://reallyquitemanic.blogspot.com/2011/06/mariners-kgj.html
Wednesday, June 22, 2011. But in 1989 a new company called Upper Deck produced its inaugural set of baseball cards. The cards were glossy, the images were crisp, and - holy smokies - there were holographic stamps on the back! Other company's baseball cards looked (and actually were) cheap by comparison. Things would never be the same. Within a few years everybody would mimic Upper Deck's standards and image. Card quality, along with card costs, would rise. With his stellar play, good looks, killer smile,...

really quite manic: August 2008
http://reallyquitemanic.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 8, 2008. You may have noticed the Google Custom Search thing to the right. You may have wondered if it was different than any other kind of search, Google or otherwise. Here's the scoop:. If you're anything like me you'll be reading an article and come across something that you want to know more about, either to fact check or for mere curiosity's sake. Let's say you're halfway through one of my posts and suddenly you want to look up information for, I don't know, Ron Karkovice. But they ha...

really quite manic: Introducing Your 2011 Playoff Cardinals: Coaches
http://reallyquitemanic.blogspot.com/2011/09/introducing-your-2011-playoff-cardinals.html
Thursday, September 29, 2011. Introducing Your 2011 Playoff Cardinals: Coaches. The St. Louis Cardinals have spent most of the season flying below the radar. Then suddenly, BAM, they're in the playoffs. Since you wrote them off at the All-Star break it is therefore understandable if you've forgotten who's who or why we should care about particular players. So, to reacquaint yourself with the team, I've compiled this handy-dandy bare-bones Cardinals roster guide. Today we will start with the coaches.

really quite manic: Introducing Your 2011 Playoff Cardinals: Bullpen
http://reallyquitemanic.blogspot.com/2011/10/introducing-your-2011-playoff-cardinals_02.html
Sunday, October 2, 2011. Introducing Your 2011 Playoff Cardinals: Bullpen. This is the Cardinals bullpen. I feel like there are a lot more guys hiding in there somewhere but every other familiar name I double-checked now pitches for another team. At the beginning of the season there was a lot of criticism leveled at the bullpen (*cough*RyanFranklin*cough*) but, after considerable wheeling and dealing the Cardinals have put together a respectable group of pitchers. This is Octavio Dotel (rhymes with Hotel...

Friday, September 30, 2011. Introducing Your 2011 Playoff Cardinals: Starting Rotation. We continue our reacquaintance with the St. Louis Cardinals, this time taking a look at the starting rotation. The St. Louis Post Dispatch. To explain, but does not fully. Jackson has only pitched against Philadelphia once. It didn't go too well. I didn't mean for Edwin's blurb to be so negative. His game should be an interesting one.). This is Jake Westbrook. His middle name is Cauthen. I don't know why his h...Intro...
