    Partly. The primary knock on Henry these days is he's more concerned with his soccer team than his baseball team. It's also a criticism of the suggestion Liverpool is The Team in England. They're like the Dodgers - stellar history, but they haven't done anything in awhile. Manchester United is the Yankees of the Premiership. Or maybe the Yankees are the Manchester United of MLB.

    He picked up the win.

    Question: when Aroldis Chapman has a torn rotator cuff and he's pitching simulated games, does Dusty just have him go out there and throw 120 pitches?

    Yes. To build arm strength. Half the people who show up to GABP these days go to take pictures of Chapman throwing 102 mph, and you don't want to disappoint them.

    You're on fire tonight.

    My wife would happily throw a bucket of water over my head. Not just tonight. Any ol' time.

    I thought you might be working extra hard to impress Max.

    Do they make lewd / politically incorrect smileys? I think we could use some of those here.

    I'm in a little bit of a panic here. My wife's birthday is Thursday, and I'm the world's worst gift-getter. I thought I was off the hook Friday night, when she said she wanted a new guinea pig to replace the one that died the weekend before. Would have been easy. Go to the pet shop on the way home from work Thursday and buy a guinea pig. Then yesterday she told me she was drunk when she said that and now she really doesn't want another guinea pig. So I'm back to the beginning. And I know since I'm back on the 24-hour news cycle mentality I won't do anything about it until I wake up on Thursday and start sweating.

    I'm almost positive Matheny manages these games by shaking an 8-ball.

    "Should I let Garcia go another with a five-run lead even though he has tears in his shoulder?"

    Dont forget to factor in that Garcia can explode at a moments notice.  Then he followed him up with Lynn.  I know Lynn needs to work the kinks out but the Cards are at the point they cant afford to let him do it during games.

    Birthdays are stupid.  It is like congrats for not dieing.  Do we really need to do that?  Dont we have enough stupid hollidays?


    I mean that as a general statement.  Didnt you say awhile back your wife had some medical issues.  That statement could come off classless.  Which would be fitting for me.

    I don't disagree, and I'm well past the point where I need to have my birthday recognized, but I'm not going to blow off my wife's birthday. That would be suicidal.

    "Birthdays are stupid.  It is like congrats for not dieing."

    You should write for Hallmark.

    [Front of the Card]

    CONGRATS!!!

    [Inside of the Card]

    You didn't get hit by a bus or struck by lightning this year.  Nice job.

    BTW, I dropped $3.99 on this stupid card.  Next time we're out, you owe me a beer.

    I watched the end of the Padres-Dodgers the other night when AJ Ellis hit a walk-off single. Is it OK that I hate the Dodgers just by virtue of their fans residing in Los Angeles?

    There is one exception to the rule.  Using birthday as a reason to get drunk.  Any reason to get drunk is a good one.

    Hallmark really has the market cornered.  Live or die they have a card for it.

    The judges would have accepted any reasonable ending to your question.

    This would be one of those singing cards, right?
