accidentally at a show, then when I apologized and spoke with him, I realized he was a douche. I then told him I’d put him on the guest list to have him to the next show to hit with my mic again. He never showed.
With the current state of sports in the Seattle area
I find getting pissed at all Mariner failures/dumbass umpire fuck jobs to be a good way to vent all that anger in such a way that I don’t take it out on those around me.
Rival executives report that there is some anger within the Seattle hierarchy about the way the negotiations with the Yankees for Jarrod Washburn have played out publicly, and an NL executive who has been in contact with the Mariners on Monday says he wouldn’t be surprised if Seattle works to deliver the lefty to another team, even if it means swallowing many dollars. The Yankees have made it clear that they are willing to take Washburn’s contract - he is still owed about $14 million for the rest of this year and next - but won’t give up a major prospect. The teams generally in the market for starting pitchers have been the Cardinals and Rockies.
I asked Sean when his arm was going to fall off. He let it hang limp for about 5 minutes, and hilariously underthrew while shagging fly balls for the rest of BP.
Norm also offered to sign my Charlton jersey when he saw it, I didn’t even have to ask.
Now that Felix is out, I guess this counts as on-topic, right?
But after drinking three or four good beers at another bar before the show, the $3.50 tall boy of PBR compares favorably to the $5 12 oz. plastic cup of Red Hook.
Very few things are marketed by the products own merits.
Count the Ads in a baseball program and there is so much going on in each commerical. Fear, self loathing, showing images of memories you wish you had… etc. etc.
Marketing came from Psychology, and A LOT of marketing agentcies have several psychologist working the ad over to make you believe you NEED a product you don’t need.
"Look at my xFIP," he is saying as he pulls out a few pages he printed off the Internet site, "The Hardball Times." He points out his xFIP — an advanced pitching statistic that stands for "Expected Fielding Independent Pitching." The statistic calculates something that looks like ERA, only instead of measuring earned runs per nine innings, it measures three things that pitchers can control — strikeouts, walks and home runs allowed. According to the glossary, xFIP should take out a lot of noise of ERA. It promises to help you understand how well a pitcher pitched.
That’s good. At the moment — it is Thursday morning, just 36 hours before what might be the most important start of Brian Bannister’s still budding career — he is dying to understand what the heck has happened to him.
"Look," he says, and here is his row of xFIP numbers:
2006: 6.29.
2007: 5.14.
2008: 4.59.
"Look at that," he says again. "I’m actually pitching better than I was last year. My xFIP is down. It’s just that I got lucky last year."
Then he stares at the numbers for another few seconds, and he offers a frustrated smile because he knows that, in the end, nobody else really cares about his xFIP. Nobody else really cares about his skyrocketing Left on Base Percentage. All anyone cares about is that he’s getting lit up. He’s giving up many more runs than he gave up last year. And Bannister knows that despite all his analysis and study, in this crazy pitching game, it really might be better to be lucky than good.

Johjima threw out the guy on 3rd base

It was a clever, subtle way of talking shit about a competitor without citing them directly
Gomez - July 28, 2008
Yeah, but I tend to hate marketing that does anything but attempt to sell the product based on its own merits.

I have not had beer of poor quality since I was 17.
(I am excluding PBR because it is ubiquitous and cheap to purchase at shows.)

Scenester.
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2008
I would have sold many more records if this were true.
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2008
It is cheap for a reason
Gomez - July 28, 2008
Yes.
But after drinking three or four good beers at another bar before the show, the $3.50 tall boy of PBR compares favorably to the $5 12 oz. plastic cup of Red Hook.

ZOMG POLITICS
I agree, though most fast food marketing is pretty good about sticking to hyping their own product, so I don’t mind it.
Gomez - July 28, 2008
I tend to give clever a pass.
That commercial was, as you said, quite clever. I’m still opposed in theory, but yeah.
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2008
Very few things are marketed by the products own merits.
Count the Ads in a baseball program and there is so much going on in each commerical.
Fear, self loathing, showing images of memories you wish you had… etc. etc.
Marketing came from Psychology, and A LOT of marketing agentcies have several psychologist working the ad over to make you believe you NEED a product you don’t need.
mark sobba - July 28, 2008
I'm aware of this.
It’s still immoral.
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2008

I liked the people I worked with, but my opinion of the industry over my time there, if graphed, would resemble a typical 2008 Mariners WPA chart.

mark sobba - July 28, 2008
I'm hungry...
sour dough beefy cheddar melt sounds good right now. Is that a sandwich or did I mix up Jack in the Box and Arbys?
LantermanC - July 28, 2008
I'm sure it's a sandwich at one fast foodery or another.
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2008
I think you did
Though I wouldn’t mind if Arby’s tried a sourdough roast beef cheddar melt.
Gomez - July 28, 2008
beef and chedder is Arby's and sour dough hamburger is Jack in the Box
I think you mixed up the sandwitches
