Jonah – after you wore the Fighters jersey yesterday, I have no doubt that you’re hyper enough to do anything for entertainment value

(also – you should totally read Cromartie’s book if you haven’t. It’s awesome, and I bet it’d be even awesomer to an Expos fan.)

No problem Rusty–I was being sincere btw…I really am hyper enough to bang out an extra article to make a customer happy.

Hopefully we can all reconvene Friday Aug. 26, vs. White Sox, Felix’s likely next home start.

nice meeting the few of you that I was able to yesterday afternoon, on the end of the table closest to the door.

Okay, thanks Jonah. I was just curious.

Rusty, BP publishes about 1,000 articles a year. You can argue the merits of a tribute article plus one paragraph if you like, but if 998.9 articles of baseball content aren’t enough, I’ll be happy to write 1.1 supplementary articles to bridge the gap.

Jonah & DMZ, I forgot to follow up on something at the pre-game wake which I wanted your opinion on about Baseball Prospectus, but in particular Joe Sheehan…

If you guys read it, what did you think of Joe’s piece a couple of weeks ago which was basically a eulogy to his father-in-law? No disrespect meant to Joe, but it seemed a little out of place in a baseball forum. It would have gone by without notice except then a day or two later in one of Will’s UTK columns, he spent a paragraph expressing thanks and appreciation for his father. Now this is a little more relevant since his father is a sports physician which relates directly to what Will writes about. But still, I can’t help think that I’m missing something about the BP philosophy or something. I admit that I was only reading the freebies for the last 3 years, but this year I subscribed and am reading more of the content. Perhaps I don’t fully understand the personalized views at BP. Anyway, Jonah, I anxiously await the tribute to your 3rd grade teacher. Hee hee.

Good time at the King Sreet Oven thingie. Good beers, good conversation. And no apologies for lionizing the King!

I like the idea – Sports bar food as interpreted by the Culinary Institute of America! I will be a regular at the Ferret I think

Bugger. It is a BECU night. I’d have paid the full tenner for 300 level seats behind the plate but the guy in the team store told me there were no specials.
