A run!

 

Huzzah!

 

And an over reaction!

[USAFChief]

Looks like my ISP picked a good night to have issues.

[teekz]

I have to say. I was very negative on picking up Schaffer. I was wrong. He has looked pretty good so far. Better than some of the outfielders we've run out there this year

[ashbury]

While we're on the subject, why is my avatar inside either a goldfish bowl or a 1950's TV set/bomb shelter?  Not complaining because awesome, just wondering why me/how come.  Haven't seen any others like it.

One of the Mods set the Goober switch for you.

I'm not even watching but I can still post. Poor Trevor May... He waited his whole life for that.

I think TD was down for a while.  I could reach other sites while this one was timing out.

[LaBombo]

Sorry i have nothing useful to say.

 

I'm still rooting for a come back.  Or at least a character building experience.

You're a fan of a team that has found  a use for Butch Huskey, Bret Boone, and whoever all those guys were who pitched like they were hoping for a strike while bowling with a tennis ball and the kiddie fences up.

 

In other words, your usefulness standards are way too high.  In fact, since you admitted that being a Twins fan recently is a character-building experience, my contention would be that you should be closer to being added to the TD 40-person than having to apologize.

[teekz]

We also broke their bullpen scoreless streak

Wow, a true Jedi Mind Trick.

If it's local... You have a LISP

[teekz]

Wow, a true Jedi Mind Trick.

 

He's been a good padawan...

[ScrapTheNickname]

Vargas looked pretty fast running to first.

 

Willingham needs to lay off the high fastballs.

 

I need to start thinking about dinner.

Lay off the highballs? He drinks. That's a shame.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Another run!

 

Woohoo!

 

And this on a sacrifice fly. Hopefully we have appeased the spider?  (or maybe the venus fly trap)

[teekz]

So, we're going to score 4 runs in the top of the 9th...

[Riverbrian]

Lay off the highballs? He drinks. That's a shame.

He's remodeling his kitchen... He started in 2010... There's nothing for him to do but drink.

Yeah, i remember when they picked up Bret Boone. And folk were complaining about Florimon...

 

Alright... Hold on while i reset those standards...

[Riverbrian]

Good to see you back teekz... We need more Australians on this site.

[gil4]

I wish I knew why there is now a quota on likes.

 

I just noticed there's no more steak dinner with the likes.  Those were the ones that should have been limited.

Going acoustic modem secure:  M@y sharp @s pre-sch00l sciss0rss, rest of crew looks lost, Joe Morgan n0t on sight to debate Moneyball.

 

Check the coin return of the only functioning phone booth in America.

G'day Mate!

Yeah, that's what i was expecting. Riverbrian's is square 'cause the size is small enough to fit in the circle, and there is off white around the edge...

"These aren't the baserunners you are looking for...."

My fault.  Your standards are good.  The Twins are bad.

Goober Switch... Ummm... I don't know but you'd become the odds on favorite in a distance spitting contest.

[ashbury]

G'day Mate!

Strylia?  That changes everything!

 

I've adjusted your member title again to reflect this new information.

[Squirrel]

Chitown is gonna have kiniption fit.

Pfft. I only changed it to begin with hoping that teekz would then go and figure out how to change it himself.

[teekz]

Ok. How the the heck did you get Jedi Master upside and backwards?

[Riverbrian]

I think teekz title should change at our discretion. Whatever we change it to... He must find a photo to match it.
