Thank God you weren't Sam Houston after the Alamo

 

Richard Boone had a fine career.

[howeda7]

Burton in? That's OK Gardy, we didn't really want to win...

[Gibby]

Richard Boone had a fine career.

 

Yep, he was a man, a big man.

[Reider]

Yeah... Of Course... I don't know how you do it in Canada but... That's an obvious thing.

We live in igloos and engage in snowball fights to sort out our differences.

[howeda7]

Do we really want to put Burton in now?

 

Fien just pitched 3 days ago, and Duensing/Thielbar 2 days ago. Clearly, all unavailable. AND tomorrow they go back to ONLY 12 pitchers!

[LaBombo]

Why would we want a bad fireballing relief pitcher from the Orioles again?

Because... last name rhymed with Slowey?

So did Pat and Debbie Boone

[stringer bell]

OK, Burton probably gives up a big fly before I finish this post, but I'll say it anyway. Last year, the Twins would have almost certainly lost a tie game going into the bottom of the seventh in Cleveland. This year, I like their chances. Cleveland doesn't have much offense and the Twins have a few guys that can produce runs, even though a number of them are scuffling. Tough break for Plouffe on his last AB BTW.

[howeda7]

Gardy doin' some managin'. None of us know what we're talking about.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I stand corrected! Burton actually was pretty effective

[Craig Arko]

So did Pat and Debbie Boone

 

True. But neither of them played Sam Houston, or Smaug for that matter.

Grasshopper, it's time for you to leave.

[ScottyB]

I appologize to Burton. He did okay. Just don't press our luck and let him pitch another inning.

 

PS

 

Don't put Duensing in either.

Thats why you have two teams named "Roughriders" in an 9 team league.

I know Ottawa changed but I had to pretend they haven't to continue on my chosen path.

[LaBombo]

And I get that reference only because there was no remote for the buttonless TV in my hotel room, and it was set to, what else, The Alamo. Billy Bob Crystal was hilarious and menacing.

[Riverbrian]

Yeah but Richard Boone never Sang "You Light Up My Life"

Remember when there was no remotes... The crap I used to watch because I didn't want to get up.

[Reider]

I agree with Jack Morris... the Twins seem to be able to stay in / get back into ball games better this year than the last three years.

[Craig Arko]

Like I said, a fine career.

There's a whole thread devoted to this, but Morris has insightful things to say, he's just noting as he'll.

OK, time for a lefty.

What do separatist Canadian politics have to do with being a... male entertainer? Not a judgement, just a query. Also, depending on which soccer parent's twitter account you research it with, there may be a chance that one outfit is the the Roughriders, and the other is the Rough Riders.

 

Also, depending on how negotiations with FX over marketing rights go, it seems possible that one of them may change their name to Rough Service.

Are you Ok... It's like you stopped mid post.

It's fun watch Swisher sniff his bat

Guess I shouldn't have said anything

[Richie the Rally Goat]

It's ok' I'm just having a heart attack. Auto correct got me, he'll was supposed to be hell, and the whole thread was an inane commentary about broadcasters with the overarching theme that Morris is smart, just not interesting.

I participated in the inane thread, I'm not above it.
