I got to touch a real armadillo a couple weeks ago. They had them on the Capitol lawn with a group from a nature center. Pretty cool.

No. Bad karma is patriotic hats forced on us by MLB and Sunday nights on ESPN.

The Brewers or "Cerveceros" do it right.

Why do the Spanish heritage jerseys have to say "Los"? The American tops don't say "The" Mets.
|
Edgy MD Jul 06 2012 10:42 AM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
Spanish just kind of works that way. Nouns sort of almost have to have articles. English speakers say, "Family is important," but Spanish speakers say, "La familia es importante." (Mets fans say, "Don't trade Familia.")

dinosaur jesus Jul 06 2012 10:55 AM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |

Yes, but Mexican League teams don't include the article, either on their jerseys or, I think, in their official names. Pericos de Puebla, for example:
|
Edgy MD Jul 06 2012 11:01 AM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
Good point. I guess we're just an uncreative and patronizing country that thinks we can solve all Spanish marketing problems with a definite article.
|
Ceetar Jul 06 2012 11:07 AM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
|
but they are proper nouns. You wouldn't say Henry was Enrique when he's over the border. His given name is still Henry. You can't buy a Manzana iPod in Spain. I think the entire concept of wearing a different jersey is silly anyway, but losmets.com seems cooler than like español.mets.com It's about creating a spanish presense of Mets. adding the article is a tiny part of a marketing presence towards spanish speaking fans.

Edgy MD Jul 06 2012 11:09 AM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
A lot of folks do go by a translated name in another country. A lot of products do as well.

Sure, many. I've had Spanish-speaking folks calling me Eduardo and Irish folks call me Eamon. Folks in the country of the internet call me Edgy. It's all good. Also, you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?

Sure, but that's not your name. When I was little, my mother got annoyed when people called me Mike. "That's not his name!" And it's not. What do they call a Big Mac?

Ceetar Jul 06 2012 01:14 PM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
|
Right, not what others call you. I think it loses something in translation. The Islanders are not residents of an island. The Mets are not a densely populated city. The Cubs are not actually baby bears. It transcends language. They've built an identity attached to the one name.
|
Edgy MD Jul 06 2012 01:22 PM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
Yes, it's established that you disagree. You think it would be less meaningful. Got it.

Yes, and I get that you disagree with me. Meanwhile, Terry goes with the righty lineup, + Kirk.

Turner at first base. Nobody tell Edgy. He gets all dyspeptic about this.

Feel free to have him relocated to the home clubhouse and fitted for some cream colored pinstripes in time for tomorrow's game.

Purchase his contract RIGHT NOW if just to keep him out of this game. Send him back to the Cubs if they still want him Sunday night.
|
Ceetar Jul 06 2012 05:33 PM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
good to keep it to 1 early, hopefully that means Santana will correct via the 'ole "Get the Ace early" mantra and give up no more.
|
Swan Swan H Jul 06 2012 05:37 PM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
Much better second inning for Santana. Time to get gothic on Wood, I grant you.

Swan Swan H Jul 06 2012 05:47 PM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
Turner justifies Collins' faith by pushing a 38-hopper toward second that Baker plays like it's a live ferret. Single, the scorer says.

Reed Johnson further validates G-Fafif's dispatch orders with a booming double to left.

Santana recovers nicely with 3 Ks and strands him.
|
Zvon Jul 06 2012 06:08 PM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
Nice rip by Cedeno and nice base running by Tejada. We got the lead.
|
Zvon Jul 06 2012 06:10 PM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
WOW. What a catch by Valbuena to end the inning. Awsome Brooks like diving snag.

|
Swan Swan H Jul 06 2012 06:16 PM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
And the Cubs tie it up on a sac-fly that the Mets botch three different ways.

Him too. Sloppy play all around on that sac fly to Kirk. WOW. Duda caught that!. OO, that was scary.
|
Frayed Knot Jul 06 2012 06:24 PM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
Most fly balls towards Lucas Duda lean to the scary end of the spectrum.
|
Swan Swan H Jul 06 2012 06:28 PM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
Nice patience by Nooey to clear Santana.
|
Ceetar Jul 06 2012 06:30 PM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
on that cutoff Turner lost the out, was anyone covering first? Cedeno was just hanging out near second, Santana presumably was backing up the plate..Turner cut it off..

Ceetar Jul 06 2012 07:04 PM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |

that didn't really cost us anything though, excepting the one out that they got out of that inning anyway.
|
PiggiesTomatoes Jul 06 2012 07:04 PM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |

Zvon Jul 06 2012 07:15 PM Re: IGT 7/6/2012 CHI @ NYM: Bring The Wood |
Turner havin a nice night at the plate at least. 3fer3 with that double. Lets plate these two here now.
|

Oh, this is new. Can't turn the sound lower or mute the commercials on MLB.TV and they are like 10 times louder than the broadcast volume. Almost as annoying as this game.

Keeps him at about even for botching the cut-off and nearly getting Santana killed.

If you're 3 for 3 with no runs scored and no RBI, it's not entirely your fault.
