Have you ever tried Moose Jaw or Red Deer?

Yes... Yes I did... When I was a starving musician... Road kill got me by.

[twinsnorth49]

Sorry to hear that.

Thanks.........nice to hear from someone who truly understands.

[twinsnorth49]

Me too, you get used to skunk after awhile oddly enough.

[ashbury]

I'm pretty sure every week is snark week around here.

Yeah. Right.

[Riverbrian]

Regina is like the flattest place on earth. Makes Grand Forks look like K2.

[gil4]

Runs......Twins style.

Runs allowed - Astros style.

 

Flashbacks to the old sitcom Love American Style.  The opening song was pretty catchy, but I wasn't allowed to watch past that (not that I wanted to back then.)

Yeah... The biggest problem was all the traffic. It can be distracting.

Funny I was just driving past Grand Forks, didn't notice.......Grand Forks that is.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Target Field - just a pit stop on the way to Cooperstown.  

(My new member title has removed all restraint.  I might have to change it back.)

 

I like it.

When do you get back?

 

I'm going to the River and I'm dropping a yellow rubber duck in. I want you to wait up in Winnipeg for it... So I know how long it takes.

[ashbury]

I've been listening to the Astros broadcast team since I got back from dinner.  I think I like them - willing to mention the Astros leading the league in strikeouts, smooth on the play by play, nothing not to like so far.

[Thegrin]

I want to like Milone, a crafty lefty with a misspelled last name, but he is making it hard.

He's wiggly at least. Been wiggling all night.

Tomorrow night, I'll be waiting.

Texas has drive thru liquor stores. The broadcast teams are drunk.

[Riverbrian]

Other things found in Texas

 

Willie Nelson and Armadillos.

I agree. They don't offend me at all. Actually, pretty okay. What I'm saying is, they're fine.

Any Yee Haws or Dog Gone its or dang nabbits

[Riverbrian]

Astros can only score via the Long ball.

High praise indeed.  Shall we reserve a plaque for them in the Broadcasters' Wing of the Hall?

[twinsnorth49]

No wiggling out of that one.

[ScrapTheNickname]

I wonder which team has the most former players playing in the league? My guess might be Oakland. Somebody should find out. Ha.

[ashbury]

No wiggling out of that one.

It's fine.  Tommy's got this.

[Riverbrian]

Other things found In Texas

 

Billy Bob Thornton and High Wind Damage

[stringer bell]

They let Peacock off the hook, but I no longer am surprised that the Twins struggle against mediocre to poor pitchers.

[Thegrin]

Texas drive in liquor stores = they call them Ice Houses.

[twinsnorth49]

what the hell is an Aggie and why is their mascot a collie? Damn Texans are strange.

Nobody sez "he gone"?

An Aggie is severe lack of imagination at a place of higher learning.

 

The Collie... I don't know... But what a lifelike costume and how small is the person in there.
