If you like summer, that is summer. I wish it were like that everyday - although I should have used some sunscreen. No biggie, I was George Hamilton for a week.

Sunscreen? If I remember right... You were wearing a sweater.

He was one of my all time favorites, one of the great gigs of all time!

Brian, he was shirtless.

[Platoon]

I am way behind on the TIVO, but I think it could be said that this could have been the end of Swarzack as a starter?

[USAFChief]

Brian, he was shirtless.

Gonna be hard to top that'n.

[Squirrel]

Gonna be hard to top that'n.

There's actually a true story behind that but it didn't involve Bark.

Riverbrian?

[Squirrel]

Riverbrian?

Don't you remember, out on the kayak?

[USAFChief]

That ball got from Vargas' bat to the left center wall on one hop almost before either OFer could react.

[Platoon]

Brian, he was shirtless.

Don't tell me you are spying on Brian again? His wife will get suspicious sooner or later.

[Squirrel]

Ouch

[Riverbrian]

That ball got from Vargas' bat to the left center wall on one hop almost before either OFer could react.

Yeah... I'm really not sure how Vargas wasn't ranked higher on the prospect list. He hits the ball too hard to not be ranked higher.

[Squirrel]

Okay, swing it out

I'm often a fan of facial hair, but it can't be just chin hair. I'm not a fan of Amish chin beards.

ChiTown is taking a bath... There is knock on the door.

 

Blind Man: Hey... It's the Blind Man... Can I come in?

 

ChiTown thinks about this... Did he say blind?

 

ChiTown: Blind Man?

 

Blind Man: Yes Blind Man.... I'm in a hurry... Can I come in?

 

ChiTown: As long as your a Blind Man... Ok I guess

 

Blind Man walks In and says: Oh My... Hubba Hubba... I'm just gonna install these blinds in your window.

Somewhere, Snepp is crushed.

[Squirrel]

Still 3-0 in Chicago, 8th inning.

Y'mean, no "Living in an Amish Paradise" for you?

[Platoon]

So Kirk Gibson gets let go with a .485 %. Hmmmmm

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Kudos to Torii on a good throw there.

It's not 'your'. It's 'you're'.

[Bark's Lounge]

Thank Goodness. I swore that wasn't a blackout day.

[Circus Boy]

Dang, this team could be so close. With any consistent good pitching, we flip one loss to a W once every 10 games and we're in the playoffs and the toast of baseball.

 

And yes, I picked the wrong week to give up sniffing glue. But I have a sense about this team going forward. That is all.

[Squirrel]

snepp's personality and all around good-guyedness makes up for it

[Riverbrian]

It's not 'your'. It's 'you're'.

That's true... But don't blame me... According to the script... You said it.

[stringer bell]

I have pulled for Oliveros since the Twins acquired him for Delmon. He has looked pretty good today.

I thought he wore it well.

 

And... And... He only tripped on it twice.

Why are there no Amish in Chicago? I assume there are not, since I have never seen one of their buggies on the Dan Ryan or Kennedy? Which brings up another sore spot........ How come they name the freeways there, I still don't know whether 290 is named after those guys, Alfred E. Neumann or the Rev Guido?

Ah...the ol' "yeah, but he's got a great personality" gem.

 

Just give him a nice paper cut and pour lemon on it, whydontcha?

It gives people something to read while sitting in the traffic jam.
