John Cox: "interesting stadium up here in Nowheresville... press box has sort of an open layout."

Ugh. Moylan gives up a two-run dinger to make it 9-7 Orioles. The bullpen just isn't there.

Ugh, this game will not die! Santana's game-winning homer caught in the warning track! Don't say I didn't warning track you!

Their pitcher is rushing things. I could see a dinger here...

The dude's confused. "Outward Bound" is some kind of proto-wilderness course / crossfit crap that he sent some players to. "Homeward Bound" is a schmaltzy Disney movie about wayward talking animals that Gilbert probably saw with his kids when they were little. Maybe he understands all of this, but I doubt it. I feel like he just types "Outward Bound" sometimes and "Homeward Bound" at other times. He probably really likes the word "bound." Could indicate some kind of bondage fixation. He could even be confused about what S and M stand for in "USM."

All this is to say that the dude's a weirdo and is probably stoned 24-7. I've got no particular problem with that, but at least translate it into some out-of-the-box thinking, for the love of all things holy!

The aphasia really sets in around paragraph #5:

"Yet as our Student-Athletes have headed home, our Department Leadership Team is gathering to consider how we promoted, funded, supported, and measured the leadership of our Student-Athletes. And in-turn, how we supported the educational mission of the University and the Department. How did we train our Student-Athletes to lead in alignment with our Guiding Principles of Respect, Positive Energy, Focus, Excellence, Collaboration and Honor? How have we prepared them for leadership roles once they return home to their communities with a degree in hand?

Some of this work does not yield an immediate measure of performance – which makes us all the more vigilant in our planning and reviews."

His punctuation and capitalization are really odd.

I will add one negative about Bennett that I wasn't thinking about when I made my last post.

At the CUSA baseball tournament, Bennett was interviewed on camera and I was disappointed in his inability to give out some specifics about why anyone would choose USM. Talk about the new engineering programs, the programs in the fine arts, the excellent doctoral programs in things like nursing, speech pathology, etcetera. Shoot, talk about diversity if you must. A lot of other schools are really pretty damned homogeneous in who they admit.

What you shouldn't do is just grin and spout platitudes about how USM is the #1 college in the galaxy or whatever. You're blowing whatever credibility you had when you do that. Tell people something good about USM that they didn't know. I could come up with something.

Heard someone say the wieners are wrapped in duck tape. WTF is up with that?

Turned on tonight's game just in time to see Johan Camargo hit a grand slam. A lot of people speculate about the Braves trading for a third baseman, but Camargo's young and he seems to pull random shit out of thin air at exactly the right moment.

"Camargo is just a stopgap" is one of those bullshit Atlanta sports talking points. It's like "nobody on the 2017 Braves will be part of the next Braves team that's good" or "Julio's lack of TDs doesn't matter" or "Sean Newcomb's not the answer."

Bull effing shit. I've got two good eyes, Matt. You were wrong about Sean Newcomb, and that's just a start.
