Over/under 9 pitches in the inning?

[ashbury]

This Koji chump looks ripe for the picking.

Gibby, you're in for a treat. I saw David Crosby at the Trobadour last month, and he is healthy and never sounded better...he's down 50 pounds since his heart issues last fall. Hopefully they turn Stills' mike off, because he's so deaf now he doesn't know he's off key.

I saw the three interviewed by Dan Rather recently, really really well done and interesting, but it was kinda sad to see Crosby struggle to keep up with the conversation when more than one person was talking.

That's great. I saw them 3 years ago and I was pretty amazed at how good they were then.

[Circus Boy]

Did you meet Mike Miller or any of this 957 cousins?

 

Rumor has it they're not, uh, cousins.

[Guest USAFChief]

I normally don't ask Joe to swing for the fences, but leading off the ninth, down a run, try swinging for The Pole, no?

pfft. try to dump a jamshot into left, that's what you do in that situation.

[Gibby]

Oh right. You mentioned this before I think. They are playing up at Ravinia?

 

Yep, I love that place. I bring a decent spread and a bunch of wine and beer.

Crosby and Nash are so beautiful when they harmonize on Guinnevere, it makes me weep.

Sounds good. Make sure you have the ice to pack him after you land him...

WEll, that was pretty cr*ppy.

[Beezer07]

Another great pitching performance by the Twins!

[Squirrel]

I am not sure this comment was necessary.

No, it wasn't.

[ashbury]

Not bad having Morales as your last chance after Mauer and Hammer come up empty.

[LaBombo]

A loss, but a World Cup tribute game where South pitched well. Break even, maybe?

[Riverbrian]

No, it wasn't.

 

I think you play the French Horn the same way... No matter how you are dressed.

[Gibby]

I bet Glunn would love to watch that.

 

It's at the Brenn Events Center. I'll be the guy in the Twins jersey, and USA hat.

...Brian how is the rubber band?

Network? Time? You're a celebrity; get over it and facilitate viewership!

...Brian how is the rubber band?

 

I can't tell... It's stretched but I can't tell if its broke on the side.

[glunn]

It would have earned a ban in a normal thread. +1.

 

It almost earned an infraction from me -- not acceptable even in a game thread.

[glunn]

I'm going to be in Glunn's neck of the woods July 5 and 6th to see my kid play against Brazil. It'll be the first time I've seen her in her USA jersey on American soil.

 

I will be in town then and hope to meet you.

[Gibby]

I will be in town then and hope to meet you.

 

That would be fantastic.
