Joe haz a sad.

[notoriousgod71]

I remember every one of those moments in that Torii montage they just showed.

 

I'm surprised MLB allows anyone to air footage of him annihilating Burke at the plate.

[SwainZag]

Good to see Torii flash that patented big smile!  6 solid innings from May, hopefully a sign of things to come!  4 K's and more importantly, 0 walks!

[formerly33]

 

Trap?! Where'd you get an idea like that?? Boy I think you've been down in that hole for too long. [he holds his gun out so that TJ can grab it] Well c'mon, grab ahold. We'll get you out of this little ol' lizard hole and you can just run along home. [Callaway has spotted the pinetar on TJ's hand. He hisses and makes a face.]

TJ: This IS a pitcher's trap and YOU'RE a coach. [Francona ducks back towards the dugout; Calloway jumps on TJ, knocking Francona into the hole; his gun goes off; Calloway begins to attack TJ's glove.] [to Calloway] Let go!! Hey get off of me!!

Actually, Brian, despite what lies big dog is telling you, pretty easy. It depends on where you are driving in from. You can actually park near me (near the 'legs') for free. There's an Al's Beef near me and near Wrigley. We can take the red line to get to/from the game, eat at Al's before and/or after, see the fountain, which is near me, too, then walk back to your car and get on the road easily to IN.

 

I was hoping to avoid walking all together... Drive right up to the fountain ala Blues Brothers

[Hrbowski]

Francona: "I'm gonna kill him. [Callaway] I'm gonna kill that dumb, slimey, egg-sucking salamander."

Yeah, it depends on where you are coming from, definitely.  If you aren't coming from ChiTown's neighborhood, it's a lot harder.  She apparently lives by all that stuff.       

 

[Hrbowski]

Thompson goes 1-2-3!

[Danchat]

I wanted to see Trevor May go into the 7th, but I guess not today. It was good to see him throw a quality start. Hopefully he won't be the one replaced when Nolasco returns.

[stringer bell]

House will only be gone until he makes a dramatic realization while trying to prank Wilson. He'll be back before the end of the episode.

 

Wait, what are we watching?

That's probably the episode where Cuddy got mad at him but let him get his way.

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Thompson with a 1-2-3 after a May Quality Start!

[formerly33]

 

Francona: "I'm gonna kill him. [Callaway] I'm gonna kill that dumb, slimey, egg-sucking salamander."

TJ: Cut it out! Get off of me! [Calloway continues to attack him; Francona picks up his gun; he points it at Calloway; looking through gun scope Francona aims at Calloway, he tries to get out of his view; as he does this, Francona spots pine tar in TJ's glove; he picks up TJ by his glove.]

The league is reviewing the footage right now.   I think we can expect that promo to be overturned.

 

Hey, it's Aaron Thompson!  Nice job, Aaron!

[Jerr]

Nolasco starting a minor league game rehab in Cedar Rapids, Iowa this next Sat.

[Hrbowski]

Hmmm.... good boy Callaway. [Callaway looks up and grins happily.] [to TJ] Say where'd you get this pretty pinetar boy?

[big dog]

Excellent, it's way easier if you drive like the Blues Brothers.  Let me know where to stand with my video camera.

[ashbury]

 

He probably went back to work with Stephen Fry.

[formerly33]

TJ: [humbly] It was a present.

[Hrbowski]

 

TJ: [humbly] It was a present.

Francona: "[coddling] Oh, that's real nice. Who gave it to ya?"

[formerly33]

 

Francona: "[coddling] Oh, that's real nice. Who gave it to ya?"

TJ: [stumbling] It's... it's a-a s... secret.

Yeah, that's going to be interesting to see what happens there. Pelfrey back to the pen?

[ashbury]

 

Our House... 

In the middle of our street. Was our castle and our keep.

[big dog]

 

Yeah, that's going to be interesting to see what happens there. Pelfrey back to the pen?

Yes, please.  Maybe a pen on someone else's farm?

[stringer bell]

Plouffe over the Mendoza line (as expected).

[Hrbowski]

 

TJ: [stumbling] It's... it's a-a s... secret.

Francona: "That's no secret boy, you see, [menacing] You just tell me where the dealer and those little trees are. [TJ breaks free from Francona by slipping out of his glove.]

[Squirrel]

Plouffe over the Mendoza line (as expected).

Well, as expected for most of us except Halsey. <smirk>

[formerly33]

 

Francona: "That's no secret boy, you see, [menacing] You just tell me where the dealer and those little trees are. [TJ breaks free from Francona by slipping out of his glove.]

TJ: NOOOO!!!!!

[Riverbrian]

That was where we used to sleep

 

Madness I tell ya... It's madness

[Riverbrian]

I think JB has some Pens to keep stuff in... Some TD'er in Iowa did

[Danchat]

Pelfrey in the bullpen for Thielbar would be preferable. But then when Duensing comes back, who's place would he take?
