hope that sheet rock recovers ok.

thanks for the updates, pete. you are really keeping the blog rolling (like a man down a flight of stairs).

Well ... was the wall OK?

Pete's reply: Well, actually, no. I'll be spackling during tonight's game.

Just one question Pete.... Why is this organization in constant crisis mode when it comes to the roster ? Even rain outs sends this team into a tizzy. I've never seen a molehill that this FO couldn't turn into a mountain.

One thing about that Newton fella...
He sure came up with a strange little cookie.

I guess it's human nature, but the constant second guessing of Trembley's bullpen moves after every single O's loss is ridculous.

Sherrill needed some work. He's been great overall. Every closer has some trouble throughout the year. Lighten up folks. Some people seem to think it's the easiest thing to throw strikes consistently. You may be trying to pound the strike zone and not be able to at times. I don't think Sherrill was trying to pitch around the # 9 hitter. He was just a little off his game.

Thanks for the life of a fat guy update...but how about some O's news??

Pete, I have to level w/ you. I think your a great writer & I love your columns. Your certainly an attribute to the SUN. That said, Im not crazy about you as a blogger. The SUN needs to pony up & get a young hungry personality to follow the day to day beat.

All do respect,
JW

Pete replies: I'll try to do better. We have a hungry young guy on the day to day beat. Jeff Zrebiec. Does a great job and sends an occasional update here. Best of both worlds.

You'll hurt tomorrow! The second day is always worse than the first.

Please give our condolences to the wall.

Was wondering what caused that tremor out here in Omaha. Thanks for enlightening me.

Roch always had some guys, Brady, Conine et al, that he could call when things got slow.

Who do you have in your posse Pete?

Some of you guys really need to stop making such as fuss over Sherrill's bad performance. There are a couple of things we should remember: this is his first year as a closer so a few bumps along the road should be expected. And, the All-Star game; he pitched 2 innings against the best hitters in baseball and dominated! He came in with the game tied and the bases loaded and struck out Adrian Gonzalez. That performance alone should be enough to cut him some slack.

Way to go, goofus.

Last time I had a bad fall, I got a blood clot on the side of my knee. Four days later, a blister on my toe popped and I stepped in some casual water. Two days after that I was n the ER with a staph infection in the clot. It was kind of like dying and going to hell, but without the flames.

Bottom line is....don't fall down. If this gets to be a habit, I'll send Lifecall around for you.

On the Os front, I'm one sufferin hombre out here in Phoenix. I see all the shuffling going on and the team is finally starting to come around, but do I get to see them? Nooooo. Wanted to drive to Anaheim for the game but I didn't want to mortgage the house on the gasoline bill.

One comment on Mora. I'll take a guy who can clear the bases in a clutch ahead of a guy with a high batting average that can't drive in runs any day. Let him go and the next thing you know he'll be coming to town wearing a different uniform and beating the tar out of us.

That's alright, Pete. The floor sometimes will jump up out of nowhere on you. It happens. the other day I was attacked by a sidewalk.

Actually JBBW I thought this post was hilarious and as far as bloggers go I've seen a ton worse.He's a print man! And if you're going to be critical at least do it in a nice way fatty! It's a slow news day, what do you expect him to do? Make stuff up about the O's and blog about it so you can comment on how bad he is as a blogger? Ahhhh well Schmuck, in defending you, I myself have become an anonymous banterer of peoples. Take that as a compliment or an insult! Also don't laugh because it'll probably hurt.

.............................................................................................
Pete's reply: Thanks. There's no shame in being an anonymous banterer. I know several.

Must have been from eating too much pizza.

.............................................................................................
Pete's reply: That's impossible, because you can never eat too much pizza.

We had a blip on our seismic monitors here at the nuke plant in Arkansas. Initially, we thought the New Madrid fault was going California on us, but I was able to calm everybody's jittery nerves after identifying the source of the disturbance. If it will make you feel any better, you registered a meager 0.27 on the scale.

Kudos to the reader who suggested you identify your reply more clearly. It's a big help. That hole will need more than a little spackle...I've seen your elbow.

I wonder how many of the posters of comments that make fun of Pete are morbidly obese. Oh to hide behind a monitor.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!

Pete, Whats next? gonna knock down the garage? Now you know how Boller feels after almost every play.

Schumucker:
Rumor has it that your neighbor on the left gave you a 9.5, while the guy on the right only gave you a 8.9. Said you lost points due to weak technique on the landing. Now the question remains, who will be on the disabled list longer, you or Adam Jones?

.............................................................................................
Pete's reply: I was okay with those two scores, but the Rumanian judge who lives across the street gave me a 4.7. I will not go on the DL. I've got a seven-day consecutive blog streak going.

Hilarious Newton cartoon at vadlo website. There is one in the very beginning too.
