congrats to greg, rob, and their team for the progress made so far with the tip network… wishing much success for you guys (so you can pay gorirra back for all that beer and food)
i gotta admit, though, that i’m more excited about the iShould app they’re developing… i already have the scathing review in my head
…only by a few days (hopefully)
so rob predicted way back when (6/23/10) that the padres would clinch a greater-than-.500 record on 9/9/10 against the giants
it woulda happened too… if it wasn’t for the padres’ 10-game skid… tho even after a 10-game losing streak, the padres held onto first place — can’t say we didn’t give the giants a chance…
it’s been a while since i’ve been a stats nerd, so here we go…
stolen bases
runs allowed per game (team pitching)
era (team pitching)
saves
strikeouts
shutouts
on game 138:
2010: 79-59
2009: 61-77
2010: 593 runs scored, 484 runs allowed
2009: 538 runs scored, 676 runs allowed
40 more games until i clinch my bet with andy… added a feature on the sidebar for me to keep track — according to rob, it should happen on 9/9/10…
the stealing has kinda slowed down, but 2nd place (4th in league) in the nl in steals ain’t bad…
as of 6/23
stolen bases:
overall era:
bullpen batting avg against:
shutouts:
strikeouts
i found this really cool art print online where the artist drew a bunch of items in a pile. all the items are from “famous” movies…
so this has been a really long email chain, but we’re stuck on the last few…
instead of giving you the answers off the bat, let’s see if you can get some — i have a guess that tim will be really good at this…

props to crazy4cult and galleries one nine eight eight
islands frosty mugs ftw!
store: islands
type: hefeweizen
abv: 5.10%
gettin’ close to magical 5-0… should i try to go for 100 by the end of the year? that’s probably a bad idea…
so i wanted to try something different at islands… a lot of people, like rob, like drinking hef’s… not me — strange cuz i like witbier‘s too (i just hate germans i guess)
anyway, this had the same type of flavor as other hefs… that fruitish, vanilla, clove, etc. this particular one tasted like crazy banana though — blech
the beer wouldn’t go away fast enough — even after drinking, later in the afternoon, i was burping up bananas (insert joke here)… not a fan of this one
