Gameday Open Thread / Giants @ Cubs

Submitted by Rob G. on
I see the spring training schedule makers are just as whack as the regular season ones. The Cubs and Giants square-off for the third time this young Cactus Leage season with Ted Lilly slated to start against Matt Cain.

OK how do I get to parachat now? [too dumb to do my taxes too.] Santo, after Pie homer: Felix is more erect at the plate. I guess *guys* dig the long ball?

Hendry's Comments during the ballgame today: Hendry said, DeRosa is back...maybe a week before he plays in a game though [Quade does it again]...he was working with Soriano on using both hands to catch flyballs. Result: Soriano took a ball off the tip of his barehand. Marquis "story" not even a story...he was caught in an interview situation where anything he said would be wrong. If he said he was okay with going to the bullpen it would sound like he wasn't really ready to compete for a spot in the rotation. He told Lou when he arrived that Theriot was the kind of player he would love. It took a while but he does. Thinks Kosuke is already a "good fit" with the Cubs. And reiterated how the Cubs organization had been enamored with Fukudome since the Olympics.

ugg...my head still cant read the new site quickly and figure out the flow. oddly...or not...ive grown be able to read the msg's as a linear mass rather than nested comments by topic within threads. it doesnt help that when people go offtopic they dont change the subject. took a while to get used to the last MVN change so i'll "get it" one day. oddly its taking me more time to figure out the flow of things. also soriano's expected to return within a week or less according to da' paper.

okay...i think its the font that's bugging me after skimming quickly through old-TCR and new-TCR. this is a more rounded font on the new site...also thinner/lighter. or it might be slightly smaller or less expressed, but the same font. i dunno, im not an expert in design/art/fonts/etc. either way i think that's one of the things keeping me from scanning it. the old site had a similar sans-serif font style, but it seemed to present itself bolder. *shrug*

I agree with Crunch; the new font is lighter and harder to scan through than the old. If you increase the font as Rob G suggested ('Ctl +' for PC) then it is better, but it doesn't "scan" as well. Good thing crunch, carlosrubi and I aren't calling balls and strikes! Trying to remember to reply to the specific comment so I posted this again.

Hey Crunch: Have you tried switching to the flat view via the drop down at the top of the comments? It presents the comments in linear order. It can still be confusing sometimes when people using the threaded view respond directly to other comments w/o quoting or referencing, but it's certainly readable.

My turn to be the TCR team "doctor," maybe, though I don't even play one on TV. My kid had the DeRosa condition and the same fix, but this was almost ten years ago, thus it is much more routine now than "state of the art" anymore. My guess is this was supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), which is not atrial fibrillation nor Wolf-Parkinson-White. I had several "episodes" of it myself when a teen, so there is probably a genetic component for propensity. It is disconcerting, but not immediately life-threatening, unless you persist for several days with a pulse of 180-220 (not kidding), in which case they would use the meds to stave off cardiac arrest before it got that far. You do sorta feel weird, and want to sit down.

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be savored...unedited. 40 years, wow.
