My dad grew up on the Southside. Capone's boys dumped a body in the yard next door. Nice little neighborhood ya got here. Be a shame if something happened to it.

Jeez... Where my family grew up... I think my Grandpa once shooed a wolverine away.

[Squirrel]

Holy cr...cow!  The Twins just got a hit on an 0-2 pitch.  

 

That makes it something like 1 for them, and 1260 for the opposition.

Ooou, post count watch ... in 10 posts Chief will click over to 7000 posts!

Well, the southside of Chicago IS the baddest part of town.  If you go down there you better just beware.

I am about half an hour behind and I can't tell from the game thread how the game is going.

Yup.  I live on the south side.

Twins up 1-0 in the top of the 5th.

 

Bases loaded with 2 outs and Colarbello just struck out.

 

Still 1-0.

You'd think we be more into it since it's still 1- 0 ... but ... it's the Twins and it's how it's gone this year ... 

[TwinsCD]

DRINK!!!

 

Good gravy, this offense is anemic.

No, but one gets a pretty good sense how the season is going.

I'd rather drink something other than gravy.

[Twinsoholic]

Colabello almost fouled out on ball four and then strikes out looking. What a lousy at bat on his last two swings. On the bright side, there is Phil Hughes.

[USAFChief]

Everyone seems to be conserving their "likes" tonight.  

 

So as to not run out?

 

Or a lack of opportunities?

[D. Hocking]

We did have a wolf come into town one summer and put a hit out on a couple of poodles.   My brother's college summer job was to patrol the town at night for the police department (which consisted of three people).  When the wolf's reign of terror started, they gave him a baseball bat to carry.

 

I suspect we really could have used at least one insurance run there --- that might come back to haunt us.

[snepp]

Or a lack of opportunities?

 

Like.

Y'know, any one of us could get to 7,000 posts if we just post "yes" all the time and we live to be 115.

We're saving them all for your 7000th post!

 

7 and counting ... 

[Danchat]

That was reason #201 why shortstops should not play in the outfield.

[snepp]

Nunez, you're doing it wrong.

[USAFChief]

No.

Heh, but instead of 'yes' I think you mean 'Concur.'

Was listening to Paper Lace "The Night Chicago Died"

 

The first line is "Daddy was a Cop... On the East Side of Chicago"

 

Is there an East Side of Chicago? Wouldn't that be Lake Michigan?

I had that song on an old K-Tel compilation record.  I wore that record out playing it so much - I Shot the Sheriff, Midnight Train to Georgia, Seasons in the Son, Stuck in the Middle With You... OK, I had weird taste in music in 5th grade.

[snepp]

We could include "winnah", but there haven't been many of those.

[Twinsoholic]

Ouch, I spoke too soon about Hughes being the bright side tonight.

[USAFChief]

Other than gil, and without looking it up, who can name the artist who performed "Stuck in the Middle with You"?

[D. Hocking]

I can't believe that 1-0 lead was not enough.  Who could have foreseen losing it -- or that there would be sloppy play involved?  Shocking.

Careful ... that dates you.  It's just one era over from Chief who's from the Jurassic Era.

[JB_Iowa]

I give a lot of likes and have never had it tell me that i can't.

[Squirrel]

We could include "winnah", but there haven't been many of those.

Without that we'd be 9 posts away instead of 6.

[Circus Boy]

And there it is: We give up an 0-2 blast.

[JB_Iowa]

No but I'm singing it as I type -- of course I just sing the chorus over and over.
