Not sure, but it was when we were testing out the new site.

Yeah … Ash was banned a few times.

Chief, I promise this is the last question I'll ask about a game thread in a game thread (wait, is that as on topic as we can get??). Do I start my thread out like this? -

Santana will drive you nuts. But this is why you don't put him in center.

Well, there are a couple of Salamander stores to look through, but I like the Think! store (which is also run by Salamander). It's just down a side street from St. Stephen's. (Walk down Jasomirgottstrasse and it's at the end of that street across Bauernmarkt.) Also, everyone goes to Julius Meinl … but Demel is maybe better!

Wow, you're serious about the shoes. And we went to Demel today. Good stuff.

Double plays is a good way to end it. And a ten point lead is even better.

Thank you. If I can get you to say that my take on the hardest part is perfect, well... it should be okay.

I thought the waiting was the hardest part...

 

Not sure why.

And I suppose Hawk says, "And that's a MAJOR League team we played this series. Hope that since we always play good, the next teams are only major League teams.

Heh … I bought two pair when I was there in November. A sprained knee and ankle didn't stop me one bit. (I fell down some stairs at the Musikverein … not my best moment … in concert dress, too)

That sounds like me waiting for a recital. It seems like game threads are a lot like piano recitals. The good thing is that I can keep doing game threads after I graduate.

 

Oh, I was invited to the honors recital for my first performance of the year this year. Does that signify anything?

Ouch. I guess just try the shoe on the foot that isn't swollen, right?

I am unable to confirm this, having been mysteriously unable to log in during that period.

The mystery is why you're able to log in now.

It was wonderful and exhilarating to see the Twins wipe out the the White Sox the last four games. I am riding a good wave going into the work week. YEEEEEEEE HAWWWW!!!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And i'm happy to have regressed to the mean as a game thread writer, the Twins having won 4 and lost 4.

 

I know i don't really have any measurable effect on the game, but it's still reassuring.

Hardly, Sano is the future, Plouffe is the one moving to the outfield.

 

Late arrival - Plouffe is pretty good at the hot corner - we did it, we drafted a 3rd baseman(well, a SS) in the 1st round and he panned out. What to do, what to do....

Yes.

Sorry. "You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day." Otherwise I would have liked that too. Is there a quota for posts? I think I'm over 100.

I missed the point where Pelfrey came out. Was he hurt, or just on a short leash today?

This is what always keeps me coming back tomorrow.

He fell apart.  I don't think there was an injury.

 

LaRoche walked.

Garcia singled.

Ramirez HBP.

Beckham SO.

Soto HBP

Johnson HBP

 

After he gave up 2 runs via HBP, Molitor pulled him.
