WEFFPIM's Tidbits
-Happy Labor Day to all laborers. I think that those schmucks out there who are unemployed should go work for those of us that aren't, who's with me?
-Baseball wise, a nice pitching matchup is shaping up with Roy "She thinks my tractor's moderately acceptable" Oswalt facing off against Ben "Ow, my...ahhh...my....PANCREAS!!! Yeah, my pancreas hurts. Sit me out for a month" Sheets. Should be a good one (watch 'em both get shelled for 17 runs apiece, First one to 30 wins!)
-How many more interviews does Davey Nelson have to butcher before we join hands across America?
-Is this seriously the 4th game thread in a row I'm doing? Shouldn't that mean a winning streak is occurring? I haven't seen a streak so pronounced since I slammed on my breaks after I ran over a 12-year-old, then went over it again when I floored it in reverse.
-My dog just barked nine consecutive times, and it resembled a better lineup than what Ned Yost manages to get paid for (ZZZING).
-Ah ha ha, Michigan lost. I just can't get over that one.
It's late, my head feels like it was put into a vice, and I'm going to bed. Good Luck, Ben...and Go Brewers.

Oswalt is a power righty, something that Braun has trouble with. I was hoping for Counsell in today's game. Of course now he'll go 0-4 for 3 K's, but I like the move

Btw, I didn't follow the last Sheets game thread so this may have been asked/answered, but does anyone know why he always looks like he chews on his blister? It seems like if you had a blister developing on your pitching hand you wouldn't want to be biting it.

It's not his hand it's his nails. He always does that.

Nice guess at the lineup. One of the first times I've seen someone guess Ned's lineup correctly.
Wasn't a guess I knew that was it.
