Random searches ending here

There was a search for the hobo convention that linked someone here. After checking the referring page it is with great pleasure that I report Casa de Machado is the #1 google search for "hobo's convention". It's even above the website for the actual convention! Nice.

Casa de Machado, your #1 source for random craziness and hoboism.

Flop

When this homestand started I just assumed we were going to lose a majority of the games playing the level of teams coming to town. It doesn't seem to take the sting off. I was really hoping to finish the year strong and have something to build on for next year. It's actually getting difficult to watch even for me. It appears that the new found good pitcher in Suppan was short lived. He's back to completely sucking. Thank God we have him for another year!

The best part of this game was Kendall's flop at 3rd base on his triple. It looked like he couldn't decide whether to slide or not and came in really awkward. His arms flailed around like a rag doll. It almost looked like he passed out reaching the base. I was glad to see he was ok. I heard some other hobo's stole his beans. This would explain his lack of energy.

Tuesday Lineup

Megeeneeheegeenee out for Counsell. Gerut in RF.

2B Felipe Lopez
3B Craig Counsell
LF Ryan Braun

Still with this Kendall batting above Escobar shit?

See you at the game. Unfortunately.... Maybe I'll have another good rant tomorrow? I'll try not to farmer blow pretzels on people.

Kendall Upper Deck Card

I received an advanced copy of the new Jason Kendall card. If this isn't proof he's a hobo, then I don't know what is. The back of the card even says he is from Hoboken, NJ.

Sunday's Lineup

Same as yesterday except The Hobo is catching.

2B Felipe Lopez
CF Mike Cameron
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
3B Casey McGehee
RF Bill Hall
SS J.J. Hardy
C Jason Kendall
RHP Yovani Gallardo

Let's hope Yo can rebound from his last start.

Jason Kendall is totally a hobo

For some time now there have been suspicions that Jason Kendall is a Hobo. I believe it was because he looks to be holding a stick and bindle while batting and his disheveled appearance. (or, it could just be that I have a weird fascination with hobos). Then, one day I was walking down some train tracks and stumbled upon Jason "The Hobo" Kendall at his home. I was able to snap the following picture before I was chased away by his scruffy dog:

In honor of Jason's hoboism we cooked a giant can of baked beans on opening day. I think it was like 120oz? Between 2 people we ate 3/4ths of this bastard.

Ass was dropped. Good Times.
