2012 MLB Regular Season Running Thread

Can't find a link yet, but the Daily News has a close-up of Valentine's agonized face with the headline:

"Sox to be You."

 

Cashman
Now this is Swisher, from Columbus, OH. Very
good stuff. This is Teixeira, different,
but equally good. And this is Jeter
from Pequannock, NJ .
Now the first two are the same, forty-
five an ounce – those are friend
prices – but this one...
(pointing to the Jeter)
...this one's a little more expensive.
It's fifty-five. But when you play
it, you'll know where that extra
money went. Nothing wrong with the
first two. It's real, real, real,
good shit. But this one's a fuckin'
madman.

Bobby V
Remember, I just got back from
Japan.

CASHMAN
Am I a RedSock? Are you in Fenway?
No. You're in my house. White people
who know the difference between good
players and bad players, this is the house
they come to. My shit, I'll take the
Pepsi Challenge with Boston shit
any ol' day of the fuckin' week.

 

Strong.

 

Jules: He used to be a manager.

Vincent: He ever do anything I woulda saw?

Jules: I think his biggest deal was he was an interim manager for the Red Sox.

Vincent: What's an interim manager?

Jules: Well, you know the baseball teams on TV?

Vincent: I don't watch baseball.

Jules: Yes but you're aware that there's an invention called television and on that invention they show baseball?

Vincent: Yeah.

Jules: Well, the way they pick the managers in baseball is they hire one guy to replace the fired guy, and that guy's called an interim manager. And that one manager is shown around by the people who pick the manager, and on the strength of how fans feel about the interim manager, they decide if they want him to manage more games. Some get accepted and become permanent managers, and some don't and become nothing. He was one of the interims that became nothing.

 

Am I supposed to find this entertaining? I'm lost.

 

4-10.

 

That was fantastic.

 

The Pulp Fiction-jack can stop here. Awesome.

 

Berkman's gotta average 30 homers from now through 2016 (when he'd be 41) to get to 500. I don't see it, especially since before getting to 31 in 2011 he last cracked 30 in 2007.

 

Kyle Lohse with 7 innings of 1-run ball today against Pittsburgh. He's now 3-0 with a 0.89 ERA and a 0.59 WHIP in 27.1 innings spread across four starts, and hasn't allowed more than one run in any of them.

When did this guy turn into Greg Maddux?
