@chata: Ah... The song. Gotcha... Nathan just needs a closing opportunity. I mean, Gregg got saves this year, it's not like Nathan's that much worse than that guy.

@Grey: you're going to have to rely on someone else to provide a link , but there was a song ... on youtube , i think . that was either the name of the song , or the refrain .

@Grey: what don't you get ? nathan's chances of making a full recovery from his surgery and returning to elite closer-dom , or , the twins giving up on him ??

@Grey: Actually gave up TV altogether... then it magically reappeared about 8 months later. Haven't gotten around to calling the cable company to complain yet.

@chata: Huh? I don't get it.

@Grey:

the twins declined to pick up joe nathan’s option , making him a
free agent …. and i’m not suppose to refer to them as the “twinkies” ?
think again .

@Awesomus Maximus: That is Two Princes, yeah. You have to give up DVR? Oh, forget it!

By: Awesomus Maximus

Awesomus Maximus — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 00:34:42 +0000

@Grey: Nice! Is that supposed to be sung to the beat of "Two Princes?" Because that's how I hear it. DVR is one of those things you have to give up when you have a kid... along with all of your hopes and dreams.

@Awesomus Maximus: Secondhand Hippies smoke before you... Hippies that adore you... Thank god! Though we do have TiVo, don't we?

@Grey: "Secondhand Hippies" sounds like a song the Spin Doctors would have put out. Game 6 postponed... now we don't have to choose between the WS and Survivor & Real World. Oh happy day!

@chata: I don't think he will be. Not sure where they're getting the show from. @Awesomus Maximus: Nah, I do secondhand wheatgrass shots and do secondhand yoga stretches.

By: Awesomus Maximus

Awesomus Maximus — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 20:52:49 +0000

@Grey: Yeah, but living on the left coast, you probably second-hand smoke at least a dime bag a day.

@Grey:

are you expecting ichiro to be a top 40 outfielder (according to the
espn player rater) next year ?

also … can you provide the link to the blog-talk interview that
everyone is talking about ??
seems i missed that one .

@centralohguy: Yup! @Awesomus Maximus: Ha! I don't smoke weed, I swear. Just sounds like it.

@Grey: I just took a little listen, as my interest was piqued. Heard the hilarious bit about sideburns and a minute or two afterwards. Horrible hosts... sorry if they're friends of yours, but you don't leave a five second pause when your guest is done talking, or else they constantly feel like they've not answered the question adequately. Also, my wife said in passing, "Grey should have taken one fewer bong hit before the interview."

@Grey: Try anything twice, I guess. Melted "cheese" might clog your corn cob pipe on the trial run though.

@Steve: Yeah, I think so. @Wake Up: Hehe

@Grey: Was that the one when you were up on the roof?

@SwaggerJackers: Nah, not full-time. Though feels like it sometimes. @centralohguy: Who would put Cheetos in a bowl? Hmm... Maybe I would.

By: centralohguy

centralohguy — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 02:17:32 +0000

@SwaggerJackers: @Grey: Agreed, not the persona I would have imagined. Sounds like he’s wandering the house looking for a misplaced bowl of Cheetos while dropping crumbs of salient baseball knowledge. Then again, perhaps that’s part of the mystique. If one Googles “Grey Albright” the first suggested search is “Grey Albright real name”. Mission accomplished.

@Grey: I guess you sound like a guy who writes a fantasy baseball blog. Go figure. You dropped an F bomb when talking about A ROID. It made my ears sad. I must be too use to all the "shizz" and other self censoring. Is this blog a full time gig?

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 01:54:28 +0000

@SwaggerJackers: Ha... Sound like what? A glue-sniffing, tweed-wearing corn cob pipe smoker?

By: SwaggerJackers

SwaggerJackers — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 01:09:09 +0000

Hey Grey: I came across some baseball daily digest podcast thing you did in August. I’m guessing this discussed in comments already. Somehow I didn’t expect you to sound like that. Now I’m on a quest to find a picture.

Hey Grey, just noticed you actually had Damon ranked 70th preseason. Anyways, good stuff as usual.
