I pitched up through college ball and still play in summer amateur leagues. The only time we ever really worried about it was in college. Usually the catcher and I would decide on the first, second, or third sign before the game or whenever a runner got to second. If we thought the other team was on to us we'd switch it up inning to inning. One season we used the first sign after a fastball sign(2-1-3=change, 1-1-3=fastball) and another season we would flash signs that meant nothing and the catcher would adjust gear to determine the pitch(mask was fastball, chest protector slider, etc.).
I don't know how different it is in the pro ball though. Now I'm watching the sox/rays game trying to figure out what the guy is going to throw.

Brewers/Bucks/Packers* - Geography, I like the teams I live by because that's who everyone is talking about and sports fandom is more fun when other people are excited with you.
Twins/T-wolves - I went to school in the Twin Cities and watched alot of their games and became a fan. These allegiences are fading since all the players I watched and loved(KG, Ortiz, Hunter, Santana) are all gone now. I never could figure out how to like the Vikings though.
Broncos - Elway.
My allegiances seem softer than most sports fans I know. I don't live and die with a team anymore. I feel a little sheepish about it sometimes, like I should care more, but I don't.
* My Packer fandom went into hibernation around the time of Superbowl XXXII.

Double KO. I like the ref's reaction. This one's real, btw. Also, where did my link button go?

Wow, this really illustrates how hard my team sucks.
posted by tron7 at 03:34 PM on May 27
No excuses, I suck. I won't say when I'll get them out because I'll probably miss any deadline I make for myself. Sorry sorry sorry.

Tim McMahon of the Dallas Morning News recalls the Nowitzki v. Pierce draft debate from a decade ago. That was a great article. Tractor Traylor, nice move Bucks. I had no idea who Dirk was but I knew that Traylor was not who I wanted the Bucks to take. I think I was hoping for Pierce or -cough- Michael Dickerson.

Aw crap. I'm late. I'll have mine out sometime this week.

I should get mine out right at the deadline as well. Why isn't anyone posting the're playlists yet?

I wasn't trying to critique your use of the word.

How long have you been waiting to drop that word? /because I've been waiting since I first saw it on a metafilter post linked here.

Judging by what I got in return, I suspect that in two cases last time, my CDs are being used as drink coasters (you know who you are) Yeah ok, it's not getting a lot of burn on the ipod but I just listened through again and I found myself humming along on alot of the songs. I liked the Paul Kelly and Hunters and Collectors tunes the best.

Actually that won't work for me either so don't switch it on my account. I don't know why I have all this stuff planned during prime fantasy baseball draft times.
posted by tron7 at 01:18 PM on February 22
Well if that's our draft time I may have to bow out too. I'll be in Colorado that weekend and I don't know if I'll have access to the internets. I'm not saying I'm out yet, I would really hate to miss this league. Give me a week or so to figure something out.

Hopefully Jason Lee could play the part of MrFrisby, even though Tom Green would be a more accurate portrayal. Jason Lee as njs8r20 Tom Green as MrFrisby

We're gonna need to form a single file line and have resumes in word or pdf format before we start any matchmaking. Spofidate. We should probably wait until the cd swap is completely done to start this endeavor. If you need a gift idea, jg likes puppies.

It does matter why you wanted to know. "Can you link to such instances because I don't believe any exist" is alot different than, "Can you link to such instances because I want to know what dampened your spirits". Sorry, I really didn't know and the former would have been a spirit dampening rebuttal.

Because you don't believe danjel or because you want to see the comments? And occassionally we're just plain assholes to new people. (Which sometimes I don't mind and sometimes actively participate in.) From the Weedy comment which was perfect IMHO.

I really like my mix, and I want more people to hear it, so there. Awesome qbert, I was going to request a copy anyway. I love Malajube and the Unicorns and have alot of Le Nombre mp3s on my pc. Most of the other bands are new to me or I've only heard of them.

Well there are only 4 possible winners left. The Colts win the super bowl or the Bears defeat the Colts in the Super Bowl: I win(yay!) The Saints and Patriots meet in the super bowl or the Saints defeat the Colts: yzelda wins. The Patriots defeat the Bears in the super bowl: tselson wins. The Bears defeat the Patriots in the super bowl: tselson and lbb tie for the win. I don't think I missed any scenarios...

Should SportsFilter Think of the Children?
No. I can't imagine many 11 year olds read this site. Not our core demographic.
