Cool, I'll have my patio done and my Keggerator installed by then.

The family I stayed with in Germany had keg delivery service the way US homes used to have milk delivered.

[Craig Arko]

I think you are making those places up.

 

Lucky I didn't mention the first Mars colony, then. Though I doubt that will happen in my lifetime.

[Willihammer]

Heckuva stab there

[Riverbrian]

Name a scenario where Swarzak isn't the best option.

 

The Canadians have weapons grade uranium stashed somewhere in Alberta. Justin Beiber knows where it is. He will have to be seduced for the information.

 

Ummm... Ok... You might be right... There isn't a scenerio.

Can't get that in Illinois. No wonder they all want to move.

[GCTF]

Still in the lead. And there was much rejoicing.

[LaBombo]

Has there been a Mauer update yet?

[Riverbrian]

ChiTown isn't here today... I think she is packing and getting out to beat the rush.

Swarzak Lettuce Tomato comes in second to Bacon.

Traded to the Red Sox for Bogaerts.

Reason no. 40 to love Minnesota: the lakes.

 

Reason no. 11 to hate Minnesota: the flooding

[Gibby]

Too bad you were ahead of your time, you could be on a chef reality show, or have your own for that matter.

 

I had my shot. I think Food network is a joke. Most of those guys couldn't cook their way out of a paper bag. I love the restaurant business too much.

I'd settle for the affordable flying car finally being perfected...

Reason no. 122 to love Minnesota: the corn

 

Reason no. 51 to hate Minnesota: the corny jokes

Granted. Everything comes in second to bacon.

[ashbury]

Duensing thrown in to make the deal work, I presume?

It's the passive aggression I hate the most. The crappy pothole littered streets, are a minor annoyance I wont miss either.

[Riverbrian]

Jackson, Miss. (love Faulkner, sorry), Nashville, Mobile. Love the South, period.

 

I can't blame you for Faulkner... Twain and Faulkner are my favorites... Faulkner wrote some beautiful stuff... "Between Grief and Nothing... I will take Grief".

 

I worry Mississippi inspired that.

[Willihammer]

Zuke!

[GCTF]

Hooray Suzuki, and not a moment too soon.

[ashbury]

out of a paper bag

 

Mmmm. Campfire eggs. http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/wild-chef/2013/04/how-cook-bacon-and-eggs-paper-bag

I also remember playing in a pick-up hockey game, a few years ago, with my fly down. I didn't realize it until stuff started freezing.

Happiness comes and goes, but tragedy is forever. Strangely, I'm happy in South Dakota.

Heath Bell designated for assignment by Rays despite 4.11 ERA, 9+ K/9 and 15 saves in 2013. Higher K rate, nearly half the walk rate, and half run lower ERA than Burton this season.

[Willihammer]

Final lines for the starters

 

Hughes: 12 FB, 2 LD, 8 GB, 21 fouls, 11 whiffs

Gonzalez: 2 FB, 5 LD, 6 GB, 12 fouls, 15 whiffs

Is that anything like engine block eggs?

 

[howeda7]

Suzuki smells the RBI's strongly today.

You're envisioning a Mastro-for-Wilson kind of trade?

May the 4th be with him.
