They have hospitals in Iowa??

Yes.  

 

They have hospital in  Iowa.

[Riverbrian]

There once were some chickens from Nantucket.

Who made the cover of some fancy schmancy green magazine word that rhymes with tucket.

They strutted and crowed.

Something that rhymes with crowed.

But they still ended up in someone's lunch bucket.

Chief... Dude... You gotta work in "Cluck It"

[Platoon]

I didn't like those movies so it doesn't even ring potential for me.

What? Those were some of the greatest movies ever made! "And don't call me Shirley"

[Riverbrian]

Yes.

 

They have hospital in Iowa.

Ok... Someone has to do it... With Airplane a theme for the night

 

A Hospital? What is it?

[Platoon]

Burma Shave.

They strutted and crowed

To escape they done rowed?

[Platoon]

Ok... Someone has to do it... With Airplane a theme for the night

A Hospital? What is it?

A large building with patients

A big building with patients.  But that's not important right now.

[Riverbrian]

A large building with patients

 

I love that movie!!!

There once were some chickens from Nantucket.

When asked for their outlook said "cluck it."

They strutted and crowed

so healthy they glowed.

But they still ended up in a lunch bucket.

That's a Winnah!!!

"Nervous?"

 

"Yes"

 

"first Time?"

 

"No I've been nervous lots of times"

[Platoon]

YI was being a little sarcastically cynical

 

Is that the opposite of cynically sarcastic

I'll try it if i ever get tired of twinkie wiener sandwiches...

 

In general, i'm just glad twinkies are back on the market.

 

More game related thought, though, Players have differing strengths, so if player a is inexperienced, but more likely to crush a lefty fastball from tonight's pitcher than player b, it may be the right move to play him.  Also the whole wear and tear of the season?

 

That said, yeah, i'd like to see Pinto play more to, at least in the abstract sense.  I'm sure he's still putting in work at this level, and perhaps that factors into the decision as well?  Meh, i'm just speculatin' upon a hypothesis.  I hope he pounds a pinch hit or two out, if that's his current role.

[USAFChief]

Atchison makes me feel like a young man.

The Curious Case of Scott Atchison

[Bark's Lounge]

Come on Arcia. I cannot watch Phil get screwed over again.

[Riverbrian]

Another pitching change... Jeez

[ScrapTheNickname]

I think I hate Francona for over-managing (he just set the record for using relief pitchers in a season; YAWN).

[Bark's Lounge]

Come on Hicks or PH. I cannot watch Phil get screwed over again.

[Danchat]

Way to go, Arcia! I hope next season he can hit .250 with 30 HRs. I think he could do it.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Come on Hicks or PH. I cannot watch Phil get screwed over again.

But watch you will.

 

I take that back.

 

You will watch a comeback.

[Squirrel]

Burma Shave.

We had a book of Burma Shave slogans and this is one I remember. It seems apt for some of the evening's conversation:

 

Don't stick your elbow out too far,

It might go home in another car!

And yes, that's Alice Cooper enjoying a Pabst Red Ribbon with the Chief.

[Riverbrian]

And yes, that's Alice Cooper enjoying a Pabst Red Ribbon with the Chief.

Completely possible.

 

They both live in Arizona.

[Riverbrian]

Nice play Arcia

[Platoon]

If you put Buxton in center and reduce oswaldos need to go to far to his right, he will look better! Great? NO. But better

[Bark's Lounge]

The Curious Case of Scott Atchison

If we're playing by those rules - is Chief even alive yet?

[glunn]

I wish Schafer had known that bunt was coming.  He did not get a good break.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

what if they added a right-centerfielder like beer league slow pitch softball? That would make Oswaldo look better yet
