Gibson, for a first year guy, sure shakes off the catcher a lot.

Maybe he doesn't speak Hawaiian.

[Riverbrian]

Grienke is 19-4, with an ERA in the mid-2's, since signing with the Dodgers.

 

Sometimes, it pays to shop at Tiffany's.

 

yeah but how bout Breakfast?

[longstrangetrip]

Umm... Nope... Can't see this backfiring at all...

 

Unless... Upon returning home... It falls apart when she asks the inevitable question "so how'd it go"?

 

"Honey, I couldn't believe how badly she has aged...I felt like I was at dinner with my mother! I can't believe how lucky I was to find you."

[Squirrel]

I am having dinner with my high school girlfriend tomorrow night. Fortunately, I have my wife's permission, but I suspect that this will somehow backfire.

It already backfired. You're going. The wife gave you permission to go doesn't mean you should. The best you can do now is when you get home is go on and on about how glad it never went past high school.

[stringer bell]

Maybe he doesn't speak Hawaiian.

I don't think he speaks Venezuelan either.

Breakfast?? It's almost 6PM here in Tucson.

[Riverbrian]

Drew is such a good defensive catcher. Dick: "I don't know if I ever saw that from Butera."

 

What's that you say, he had a lot of passed balls in a Twins uniform?

 

2010 4

2011 7

2012 4

 

Just math practice when I can get it.

 

15... Right?

[Squirrel]

Damn

[Guest USAFChief]

Hope we don't need another challange.

"Honey, I couldn't believe how badly she has aged...I felt like I was at dinner with my mother! I can't believe how lucky I was to find you."

 

I am going to use that one. Thanks!

[Squirrel]

and keeerap

LOL... You are made for public office. Congressmen Longstrangetrip has a good ring to it.

[Willihammer]

I guess that brings the Suzuki runs cost/gained ledger back to zero

[stringer bell]

Why didn't Gardy stall until the Twins' staff saw the replay. Pretty conclusive that Zuke didn't tag him 'til he touched the plate.

[glunn]

Also good advice. I might survive this after all, assuming that I don't stay out too late.

[Squirrel]

Geez, getting beat by a bunch of bazooka joes will not make me happy.

Just remember -- it does no good to say it if you can't sound sincere. If you sound like a politician, you're sunk.

If you aren't home by 9 forget about going home at all.

[cmathewson]

I just can't believe Suzuki didn't tag him. It was so easy.

[Willihammer]

2. The Dodgers -- The Dodger nickname was born in Brooklyn circa 1932. It was a shortening of Trolley Dodger to describe Brooklynites who had to avoid getting running over by the Trolley to attend baseball games at a field that was surrounded by Trolley tracks.

 

Makes about as much sense as Lakers when you put it that way

[glunn]

I once ran for school board and a protest candidate and won. I found that honesty can be a major liability when you are an elected public official, so I retired from politics once my 4 years were up.

[Riverbrian]

Breakfast?? It's almost 6PM here in Tucson.

 

Thats right I forgot.

 

I used to wonder how someone your age could post at 12 midnight... Then I remembered... Tucson... Pacific Time... You are just finishing Supper at 12 Midnight Central.

 

Then I wonder... Why is someone my age reading your posts at 12 Midnight.

[Squirrel]

Koooooooooooooobs!!!!!!

[Guest USAFChief]

Great catch Kubes.

[Tibs]

Nice play Kubel!

[stringer bell]

Mattlingly is doing the stall. The right thing to do.

[Squirrel]

Damn it, Brock, I should be able to all-caps that.

[glunn]

If you aren't home by 9 forget about going home at all.

 

That's gonna be tough since I am meeting her around 7:30, but I see your point. Maybe I should get an apartment for a month or two until she starts to miss me.

Gold glove in left field...torii who...pucket who....mays who
