If Lincecum is hurt, I wonder if he's mentioned it to the Giants medical staff?

Desmond should take off on the first pitch.

Can anybody use "sui generis" in a sentence? I am trying to figure out if it is acceptable to say "[noun] is sui generis" or if it should be "[noun] is a sui generis example of [category]"

In the sphere of young pitching, Stephen Strasburg is sui generis extraordinaire.

Houston-Nat: The proper use is "(noun) is sui generis." You should NEVER write it as (noun) is a sui generis example of blah blah blah." The term is adjectival, not a noun itself.

I guarantee you that my advice is correct. Aside from typos, I *never* make usage errors.

Feel free to put up a couple more runs...

Wow, thank you, sir! That's why I love this forum.

Back up your "convictions" and you'll earn some credibility you coward.

Two teams on very different trajectories . . .

Let's face it.. Lincecum is nothing but a long-haired hippy freak.

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #286 on:** May 26, 2010, 11:38:00 pm »

Please come back with a 1-2-3 inning Luis.

This is Atilano's game now.

PANatsFan · « **Reply #288 on:** May 26, 2010, 11:38:08 pm »

I want to see how Luis responds after such a long half inning. Batting last really helps.

No problem; just try to ignore the fact that both of your possible usages were actually adjectival ones, so the explanatory distinction I drew is technically nonsensical. Just realized that...oops!

Anyway, I promise you that the usage rule is correct.

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #290 on:** May 26, 2010, 11:40:46 pm »

And the comeback has begun.

Rob, they don't ice their arms in Japan.

Crap, that's how he responds.

Actually, solo homers are fine. Just keep going after them.

esoteric · « **Reply #293 on:** May 26, 2010, 11:41:36 pm »

Can't really blame Atilano for that, really. No idea how Uribe managed to golf that pitch into fair territory, much less out of the park. Shades of Vlad Guerrero.
