Well it would be my pleasure if you wanted to hook up outside of the Geek and chat shop. We can talk all about my wasted 8 years of art education and the bitter jerkoff I’ve become!

Awesome, I’m a bitter jerkoff, too!

There’s a joke in here somewhere about designers not knowing how to masturbate correctly, but I am too lazy to come up with it

From Ted Berg-

Val Pascucci became a free agent last week. I’ll forever maintain that the Mets should have called him up at numerous points during the 2008 season, and, given the way it ended, I could reasonably argue that his bat would have made the one-win difference to get the team into the playoffs. I won’t, though, because what’s done is done. Good luck, Boss. May you land with a team that appreciates what you can do.

Actually it’s not a completely unmovable salary….

It is when you suck at getting righties out.

it was 2 years, Ed, which I would’ve done in Affeldt’s case

Oh, I thought it was 3.
Two changes things a tad.

awwww, too bad….one at-bat over, so no ROY for Daniel Murphy next year:

What is Daniel Murphy’s current standing in relation to the Rookie of the Year Award? Did he have enough at-bats to qualify for it this year? Will he be eligible next season? I’m not totally familiar with the qualifications for eligibility. Many people felt that David Wright fell through the cracks for the Rookie of the Year because of his playing time in 2004. I hope the same doesn’t happen to Mr. Murphy.
– Bryan L., Ramsey, N.J.

First off, no statistical minimum exists. Any player with rookie status is eligible for the Rookie of the Year Award. A position player is a rookie unless he has exceeded 130 at-bats (Don’t ask me why the limit isn’t measured in plate appearances). A pitcher is a rookie unless he has exceeded 50 innings. And the following limit applies to all players — no more than 45 days on a big league roster before Sept. 1, when the roster limit increases from 25 to 40 players.

Murphy retained rookie status in terms of days on the roster. He was promoted on Aug. 2, so he had 30 days service before Sept. 1. But his pinch-hitting appearance — he struck out — in the eighth inning of the final game increased his at-bat total to one over the limit. Had he walked, he would be eligible for the 2009 Rookie of the Year Award.

Wright’s at-bat total in 2004 more than doubled the limit. He didn’t fall through the cracks; he wasn’t eligible to walk on the floor.
