    Howser, by the way, and those in the know (Harold & Kumar fans) prefer to call him NPH.

    I agree that it’s awesome that Old Spice hired him to do the ads given his out-ness, but this commercial didn’t seem to make any reference to that. I mean, he wasn’t a crazy womanizer like on How I Met Your Mother.

    dang. I missed NPH being groovy? I’m guessing I can find it online, however.

    6 more days ’til Dr Horrible.

    Ooh, yeah, Dr Horrible! Sounds like it’ll be awesome.

    Ok, ok, I’m clearly in non-baseball mode tonight. Must comment on game… um… J. Lo is continuing to kick ass?

    Not an overt reference, but one of those wink-wink references….

    (I apparently have a pretty close degree of separation from NPH, given that one of the cast members of DOOGIE is married to a college friend of mine….)….

    Go yard, Clement.

    just remembered that on the way home Kurkjian was echoing what another national talking head said– there are a number of suitors for Bedard, and they all appear to think of him as a third starter.

    Haircut day? wow. Buhner buzz or nothing else.

    I know Ichiro is getting his hits now and even walking a bit these days but man … should we be a bit worried about his sudden lack of ability to do anything more? By my count, and it was a bit quick I admit so perhaps in error, his last XBH was a double on 6/14 – 23 games and 98 official ABs ago. Forget WFB, wherefore Ichiro?

  9. fishiam on July 9th, 2008 9:44 pm

    … and by “getting his hits”, I meant “getting his singles” …

    You work that count Pepe! Is it just me, or is this the most pitches he’s taken in an at bat all year?

  11. Go Felix on July 9th, 2008 9:50 pm

    100 for Morrow!

  12. pumpkinhead on July 9th, 2008 9:51 pm

    Look to Morrow for the definition of “Heat”.

  13. fishiam on July 9th, 2008 9:52 pm

    It seems almost unfair to the A’s having to bat against this stuff, Morrow looks as good as JJ looked last year at times. And then … of course … he issues a 4 pitch walk. And .. game over! Waiting for Morrow … my season highlight.

  14. cdowley on July 9th, 2008 9:52 pm

    Morrow! That fastball had a nasty spike to it.

  15. Go Felix on July 9th, 2008 9:53 pm

    Nice game. M’s caught some breaks, offense showed up at the right times and the bullpen held down the win.

  16. Paul L on July 9th, 2008 9:53 pm

    I love watching Morrow. He’s the first guy I’ve been truly excited about since Felix. I love Clement and all, but…man, Morrow looks so. good.

  17. msb on July 9th, 2008 10:05 pm

    man, Mulder just can’t win. First start back, leaves in the 1st with more shoulder trouble.

  18. msb on July 9th, 2008 10:32 pm

    my, but Valle is NOT impressed with Hanrahan’s play at the plate.

    per Drayer, the reporters coming out of the A’s clubhouse said that Suzuki says he slipped, and that was why he ended up backwards on the plate…

    Good win by the M’s tonight.

    Batista! He’s back, in starter form!

    Nice Simpsons reference DMZ.
