Joyful after 4 losses we face a pitcher with a ERA near 1.36
I have not found the line ups, they probably don't exist yet. |

I suppose 1.36 is near 1.64. It’s also near 1.00, 1.43 and 1.92... We’re all near to Pluto also in the grand scheme...

The astronomers got rid of it It’s still there, just reclassified. I for one am sickened by the Planetism they’ve shown to Pluto. Lesser Planet. Sub Planet. She spins just like the rest of them. Small Planets Matter!...Why, she’s a Pluto-American in my eyes...Put an end to bigo-planetry today!!! |

The astronomers got rid of it Strange that Pluto was mentioned in Yankees/Dodgers game thread. Sunday's pitcher for LA, Clayton Kershaw, is related to the man who discovered Pluto and the he fact that Pluto is no longer considered a planet is a sore subject in their family. |

It’s not all that strange that it was mentioned in the context of it being in a reply to a noetsi post...(or that I was the one that mentioned it)... (: |

Now that is interesting about Kershaw being related to the guy who discovered Pluto, Chi. Pluto wasn't discovered until 1930, and the guy who discovered it only died in the late 1990s. I recall from my long-ago Astronomy class that he was basically a self-taught farmboy astronomer who made his own telescopes. Pluto is now designated as a "dwarf planet," which sounds somewhat politically incorrect, but then again not many people pay much attention to astronomy, so I guess it's under the proverbial radar. Pluto is actually much smaller than our moon. Although that's not why it lost its planetary status, which was owed more to a new definition of what constitutes a planet. Pluto didn't meet the criteria of clearing its orbit of other bodies. But you could say that about other planets, including Earth (what about them there asteroids?) |

Nothing is as it appears to us as children. I’ve also heard that the “other” Pluto was not truly Mickey Mouse’s dog, but a stray that wandered on the set one day. Mickey took him in, befriended him, got him the role of his family dog. Then, a few years later Pluto was caught embezzling kibble from Mickey’s “real” dog and was removed from the premises by the local sheriff’s office. Since kibble was not considered “embezzleable” by the courts at that time, (it is now due to the ruling of C. Jones v Fido, State of Maine Appellate Court; 7 May, 2013) Pluto never had to made restitution. Pluto’s last known place of residence was under a freeway overpass in Santa Monica, where he was living under an undisclosed alias... |

I think Mad Magazine once did a story on the relationship between Pluto and Goofy, centered on the awkwardness of having one being a speaking, upright, fully clothed and seemingly independent dog, and the other being a barking, all-fours, unclothed domestic pet.
This is the problem with late-night West Coast game threads, these subjects wander in and before you know it we're on page 5 before a pitch has been thrown.
Okay, let's go Yankees, make Ryu rue that he has to pitch this game.

I still stand proudly as the only long time member (so far as I recall) to have never posted a game thread. I hope to be the answer of a trivia question on the site after my physical body has moved on.
Don’t worry, I intend to continue reading and posting here. The vibrations I put out shall never be extinguished by such a minor inconvenience as my passing. You may not recognize the source of the thoughts nor words, but they will still come through...But even then... I won’t start a game thread...

Inger, I've never started a game thread either. Or very few other threads, for that matter. Sometimes when an old ballplayer dies I might if nobody else has. I leave it to faster and more experienced hands.
I'm glad somebody starts them, or this would be one awfully quiet website.

I’m quite sure you were tenured at Pinstripe Plus prior to me, so tgat would make you THE answer... |
