Comment: 100 ranks up would have been nice but you can't win them all, especially not when you're higher up in the ranks. It's hard to say how far I'll get in 12 months time but I should easily reach the top 200 by then. I'm hoping I can get in the top 150 but that might be hoping for too much.

It slows down when you reach the top 200, but there is hope - I've reached the top 175 with little hassle, but top 150 is a long shot ;)

Here's to another five years.

I don´t really see how that made him win. Is there like another rule besides scoring points that make you win?

With the game in the bottom of the ninth, any run scoring in a tied game will result in a win. There was a runner on first, that got 'pushed' to second by the single, the runner on second advanced to third and the runner at third ran to home, scoring. D-Backs won 4-3, I believe.

Almost - you're thinking a bunt, when they drop the ball onto the infield grass and then run to first base. Pitchers tend to do this in order to move runners from first to second and second to third. If they get out and move runners across, then it is a sacrifice (not an at bat recorded, but no hit either). It is possible to bunt for base hits.

Yes that´s what I meant. And so that´s called a "bunt".

Yeah, but bunting is not always a sacrifice.

The other sacrifice is a "sac-fly", where a runner is on third base with no outs or one out. The batter hits the ball to the outfield, where he is caught. The runner remains in contact with the base until the catch is made, then runs to home plate, scoring the run.

Alright. So it´s like, you hit it as high and far away as possible to the right side of the field. The one on the third base waits until the ball is caught and then he runs like hell to the home base.

Any position in the outfield can receive a sacrifice fly. Some outfielders have really good arms, so they have the chance of throwing out the runner at home, which makes for some interesting plays.

Reaching on an error - say the batter hits the ball to the third baseman. The third baseman puts his glove out to pick up the ball and then the ball skips over his glove, allowing the runner to reach 1st. That's a fielding error. Throwing errors are when routine plays are missed, usually at first base. These can all cause 'unearned runs' to be credited to the pitcher - the pitcher did no wrong in pitching to them, but the defense let the team down.

Yes, but can batters actually aim for those things? That´s kinda what the term reaching on errors implies. Of course I think a low bouncing ball to the third base will be difficult to stop, but it seems so risky to aim for.

Since errors don't count as hits, hitters don't tend to aim for these things - they would rather hit the ball between the fielders, or over their heads to score hits, rather than reaching on errors. Of course, if you hit the ball to the fielder, running as fast as you can could force them to make a snappy throw that pulls the first baseman 'off the bag', which is why you keep the pressure up.

If I could ask a question. The way this thread works if basically talking about achievements you get and giving people congrats for achievements they make, right?

It's the same here with english words in the language. Sad thing is that even words that only sound english are being used to "sound cool".
For example the word "Handy" I mentioned some time ago, which means a "mobile phone". No one speaking english would understand me if I asked for a "handy", yet those little things are called so, because it is "english" and therefor "cool".

Oh yeah. I know germans like to do that. Like my girlfriend could pick a minor german for her study which they called "Deutschland live".

I don´t know about you but to be honest, I think it sounds awful :p English words just sound so out of place in the German language.

But we do not read or see much German. Although I think German would be easier for us to learn.

I once heard a report that until the 60's or 70's it was quite common for dutch people to speak german, but then as an late aftermath of WW II people didn't want to learn it anymore.

I think I heard something similar once, and I think it´s true. A lot of older people here can still be a bit unfriendly towards Germans. They still call them "moffen" and all.

But yeah, I think dutch is very close to "Plattdeutsch" or "Low German". So it shouldn't be that hard for dutch people to learn german and vice versa.
Try if you can understand anything in this video. ^^

I couldn´t really understand much of it. But I can see some similarities here and there. The line: "Zal ik die in een plastic tut(?) stoppen" is very much like dutch except that we say "tas" instead of "tut". And I could also understand "handen hoog" and "ik zegge das nog eenmaal".

For the rest, I think it might be pretty close to the dutch that´s spoken in the eastern provinces of our country. The people that live close to the border. I think a lot of people there speak a mix of german and dutch which is probably that plattdeutsch that you´re talking about.

But since I live in the western side of our country, it´s hard for me to understand. Ordinary german is probably easier for me.

Yep. I happened to see that this afternoon when I was watching baseball. Or perhaps it was meant as a sacrifice but the batter got lucky. Some korean guy made a bunt and the ball rolled towards the first base. Three players of the dutch team ran towards it and the guy who got to the ball made it slip through his legs. And so the batter made it to first base easily while some other guy made it to third.

I guess our team really sucks ass -.-'

Also, when you only have 1 out, all bases taken and 3 wides vs 0 strikes TWICE, it´s pretty much the maximum chance you can get to score some points right? Yet, the dutch team managed to fuck up and couldn´t get anyone home =/

I mean, to me it seems like a simple low fast ball between first and second should do the trick.

The other sacrifice is a "sac-fly", where a runner is on third base with no outs or one out. The batter hits the ball to the outfield, where he is caught. The runner remains in contact with the base until the catch is made, then runs to home plate, scoring the run.

There are some advantages, though. The word "ticket" for example. It's much shorter than "Fahrkarte" and it fits better on signs. ^^

"Ik sech di dat nich noch enmal" acutally (you forgot the "not").
But it's kinda hard for me to understand as well. Not many people nowadays can speak "platt", and platt itself has so many dialects of it's own that it is really confusing and hard to understand people from certain areas.
It's easier for me to read it, like in the "Wikipedia op platt". :D

Well, if you're playing against the Seattle Mariners, for example, the better option is the left fielder - the Center Fielder has a pretty good arm, but Ichiro Suzuki in Right Field has probably the best arm in the game. Veteran hitters tend to know where the better places to hit the ball are, so go for that side of the field. Between left and centre or between right and centre can be the best, because you increase the potential to put it on the ground, thus making it a hit, rather than a sacrifice :)

Which episodes? You have around 450 to choose from. Too bad around half of them are shit. :P

Well, I've started a 'growth spurt' on the reviewing front, which is positive for this milestone, but I hope to be coming back with another achievement relating to reviews at Lunch

Looking forward to it. BTW, belated congrats on 2k total reviews, lol.

Oh, them. I see what you mean now.

And jakenator85, who keeps stalking my News posts...

Hey, he's on my block list.

I remember that quote but almost forgot it was a deleted scene.

I couldn't convince the gang to watch Bender's Big Score on Saturday :( Their loss.

Which gang?

Newgrounds' Gayest Dragon?

I just thought a poor pink spray job and still calling himself favourite :P

Nah, he'd rather show his gay pride.

I don´t know about you but to be honest, I think it sounds awful :p English words just sound so out of place in the German language.

English words sound out of place in every language except for english. :P
There are some advantages, though. The word "ticket" for example. It's much shorter than "Fahrkarte" and it fits better on signs. ^^

Well I think most english words sound okay in the dutch language. But perhaps german or french people don´t find it fitting in our language either.

I think I heard something similar once, and I think it´s true. A lot of older people here can still be a bit unfriendly towards Germans. They still call them "moffen" and all.

What does "moffen" mean? ^^

It used to be sort of a swearword for German people, namely German soldiers. But young people don´t really use it as a swearword anymore these days. It´s more like just a disrespectful term or a term used when joking.

Literally it does not mean anything by the way.

I couldn´t really understand much of it. But I can see some similarities here and there. The line: "Zal ik die in een plastic tut(?) stoppen" is very much like dutch except that we say "tas" instead of "tut". And I could also understand "handen hoog" and "ik zegge das nog eenmaal".

"Ik sech di dat nich noch enmal" acutally (you forgot the "not").
But it's kinda hard for me to understand as well. Not many people nowadays can speak "platt", and platt itself has so many dialects of it's own that it is really confusing and hard to understand people from certain areas.
It's easier for me to read it, like in the "Wikipedia op platt". :D

I can also follow it pretty easily when I read it. It looks just like a funny dutch dialect.

Well, if you're playing against the Seattle Mariners, for example, the better option is the left fielder - the Center Fielder has a pretty good arm, but Ichiro Suzuki in Right Field has probably the best arm in the game. Veteran hitters tend to know where the better places to hit the ball are, so go for that side of the field. Between left and centre or between right and centre can be the best, because you increase the potential to put it on the ground, thus making it a hit, rather than a sacrifice :)

Lol. Funny that they actually make such decisions depend on the opponent players strengths and not have a general strategy like they have in most other sports. But it makes sense I guess.

Pfft, I was listening to good bands beforehand. And besides, you don't even have a true opinion on Ensiferum. However, what about Muse and Megadeth as I'll be getting their new albums sometime this week?

Don't know anything from Muse, so no comment. Megadeth never interested me, so I don't know anything from them either. -.-

Sorry but you're wrong. Angel of Death is NOT boring, it is A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

If by awesome you mean boring, then yes (hey, I think I said something like that already).

By awesome, I mean awesome. Nothing else.

You mistyped a word. It's written B-O-R-I-N-G.

It's official, you fail. :P

It's official. I fail at failing.

There is no way you can fail at failing.

The only thing I fail at is failing.

It's just weird to suddendly hear a word and understand it in a language you normally don't understand.

Oh, I see. Very much like the "Kaaskopp" then, an insulting term for dutch people. Except that Kaaskopp means "cheese head". ^^

Nice. I can pretty much follow a text written in dutch as well. I'm pretty sure I don't read the words how they are spoken normally, but that doesn't really matter. :D

Getting 2 days out of college to get some minor surgery done, hopefully all will go well tomorrow.
