Burton? I know Fien got knocked around, but Burton?

If Dyson gets on, it's an automatic double.

[Riverbrian]

One-oh-one on the radar gun.

Ninety nine would be just fine

Ninety eight the swings still late

Eighty four and Milone needs more.

 

You inspired me String!!!

[glunn]

It's on FS1 for me.

Thanks.  That worked!

As usual, Grandmaster Gardy is several moves ahead of us novices.

If Dyson gets on, it's an automatic double.

But instead, it's "Grab some bench".  Ruthlessly efficient inning from Burton.

[Willihammer]

Is it bad that I'm rooting for the Yankees to win and the Twins to lose?

[stringer bell]

This is the type or game that contenders almost always win against non-contenders.

[glunn]

I'll take Animals you can eat without shoes for 400 Alex.

The scary thing is that RB is even funnier in person.

Gardy is the Grandmaster???

 

Interesting... That must be how the Furious Five got their name.

[Squirrel]

Just back from dinner ... looks like I missed a well-pitched game?  Or good defense?  Or both?  I'll leave the offense out of this discussion for now.

 

And Willi ... if you are going to have a dude with a big hammer in your avatar, at least you could've chosen Chris Hemsworth as Thor.    <chrishemsworthswooooooooon>

The funny thing is that RB is even scarier in person.

Thanks, RB! Sorry I missed you guys this weekend. Would have been fun seeing you all.

May or may not be safe for work.

I think of the Dart as the Phoebe Cates of automobiles.  Not the fastest and not the most beautiful, but an ideal companion who would turn a desert island into Paradise.

Yeah String... You should have came up. You can't just sit there and wait for me to come to your neck of the woods... Jeez!!!

That's Spot on... I read somewhere that Phoebe runs on gas as well.

[stringer bell]

Can Perkins protect the 1-0 lead?

Yeah, and there's no guarantee I'll see you at ST next March.  

[Willihammer]

I think we need at least one more Fast Times at Ridgemont High reference before this thread is over.

[Squirrel]

OMG!  Stringer!  I can't believe you just said that!  Take it back now!  Quick!

[big dog]

Let's go Perk!

[Squirrel]

It's stringer's fault!  It's stringer's fault!!!

[stringer bell]

That ball was in the air a looonng time.

[Willihammer]

Victory! I mean, poor, poor Perkins...

I did not know who you were. Now I believe.

[Squirrel]

Well, **** that.  And I can't believe stringer is the one who jinxed it.  yes, I blame stringer.

[glunn]

OMG!  Stringer!  I can't believe you just said that!  Take it back now!  Quick!

Too late.

[70charger]

Well that sucked.

 

I blame Rob Reiner.

[stringer bell]

OMG!  Stringer!  I can't believe you just said that!  Take it back now!  Quick!

Too late.

[Riverbrian]

Well...

 

I got nothing...

 

That was like a Possum Gestation fast ending
