rbi legend don sutton is on the shelf for the next 6 week as his kidney was removed. a growth was found there... a biopsy will be performed to see if the growth was cancerous.
get well soon mr. perm!
We like to call him "Don Slutton"
the thing i will always remember about don is that horrible weave that he sports on his head... that hairdo is brutal... almost as bad as skip carey's voice...
looks like don is going to make it... he is in stable condition and hopes to be back in the booth with harry's son in 6 weeks... donnie moore is going to have to wait for company in the deceased category... i will take odds that either doc gooden or darryl will be the first to join him...
those are two good bets, but id say that jose may be taken out before he prints his tell all book...mlb wont let that shit get out without a hit
Either way, before the book comes out, or after, Jose might go down.
it is amazing.... just looking at the before and after 'roids shots... it is totally obvious... the guy was a twig and then he becomes a trunk... the same goes for big mac and bonds... but mlb wont let that information come out... canseco better watch his back.
They shouldn't be aloud to use steriods in the first place. They didn't have them when Ruth and Maris played, but they still hit 60.
FYI: On this date in 1986 Donnie Sutton got his 300th career victory.

On what date did he get his curly mullet? That cracks me up. I also like Jeff Brantley's greasy mullet on Baseball Tonight.
dont forget gary carter... his permed-mullet is second to none.

Ah, yes... I saw a movie on HBO called "The Last Home Run" where Gary Carter starred. Let's just say that ol' Gary isn't going to be winning an Oscar anytime soon.
You're a brave man to watch a movie starring Gary Carter....

it's hilarious when rich eisen makes fun of skip carey
that is classic... skip carey needs to go away and maybe tell his son to do something with his son's bushy-ass eyebrows.
well, the perm is back in the booth... good to see we dont have to add a deceased to the watn yet... just wait till one of the 86 mets kicks the bucket.
welcome back permboy.
QuoteI also like Jeff Brantley's greasy mullet on Baseball Tonight.
I was watching Baseball Tonight last night and Brantley said "For the NL MVP at the break, I have one word for you......Barry Bonds." So that got me thinking, does the length and greasyness of your mullet increase your intelligence?
In a word, "No." Brantley probably just wrote down a list of 10 NL players and then did a hair toss. Whichever name on the list had the most grease on it became Brantley's MVP. Hey, it can't be any less accurate than the writers' voting!
brantley's ability to combine the mullet and the perm is quite impressive... his takes on baseball tonight are bland and lacking insight. i prefer the writers (kirkjian and stark) to the ex-players... i cant stand buck showalter... he needs to get a manager job so i dont have to look at his ugly ass any more.
So are u saying that u dont like ex-player tony gwynn commentating Joe.
there are some ex-players (like gwynn) who seem destined for commentating. but, there are some (like brantley) that have no business commentating and are doing it just because they played major league baseball.
Kurkijan is great because he seems like such a tool. One time Fred McGriff had a good game and Ravech and H.R. started woofing and barking whenever the Crime Dog got a hit. Then Kurkijan said in his dorky voice, "Do I have to bark?" We still get mileage out of that one.
QuoteKurkijan is great because he seems like such a tool.
seems like?
OK... He is a big tool. But it's still funny to laugh at him, and he isn't as creepy as Mike McFarlane. And he doesn't have a 1970s porn 'stache like Jayson Stark.
i'll take stark and his porn stache over macfarlane and his bland insight any day... as for red sox homer gammons, someone needs to tell him there other teams outside chowdville.

Who are going to be the next RBIers to kick the bucket? My top five (#1 being the most likely to go next). Yep, 4/5 were Mets. Canseco seems like he should have played there for a couple years.
1. Straw
2. Canseco
3. Doc K
4. Orosco
5. Nails
This thread is also interesting for the perm mullet discussion and steroid talk. We're going back to 2002 here.
I like how all the edits were done on New Year's Eve, 1969. So Gantry and Gdavis, can you tell all us kids what the summer of '69 was like?
That's even older than Zorba...
I'm going with an oddball and say Steve Lombardozzi will be the first RBI'er to die in the 21st Century...

Best guess? The forum software at the time those edits were made didn't store the specific date/time when a post was edited. The current software must (stupidly) not be handling this correctly, and using a time of "0." In POSIX-compliant operating systems (all flavors of Linux, basically any OS that ends in an 'x'), dates are stored as a number of seconds since "the epoch." Most systems define "the epoch" as 11:59:59 pm on December 31, 1969 (I'm not sure where 6:00pm is coming from). So, a time of '1' would be midnight on New Year's Day, 1970. As I write this post, it's currently 1112554584.
So that's where New Year's Eve, 1969 is coming from. Not that you were asking or probably care, but I'm full of useless knowledge like this, and it's my duty to spread it around.
Edit: stranger still ... see the "1029042000" in each of those "edited on" strings? That works out to be midnight on August 11, 2002.

linux nerds, what "time" is it now? is anyone geeky enough to actually refer to time as such on a consistent basis?

There was a big to-do about how the time hit 1234567890 a few days ago. I'm pretty sure the answer to your question is no, though.
I would have to say that nobody is that fkn dorky, as it would take a lot of math that would have to be done all the time.
PS - I see this thread bumped and I thought Don Sutton was dead. Thanks a ton Strassy
Time right now is 1236744664
