This reminds me of a story that Provus told once about how he tried to wear a baseball hat. Danny Valencia (I think) sauntered up to him and said to anyone who cared to listen, "Hey, you look just like SmallS." Apparently everyone thought it was the biggest joke - except Cory. So if you've ever wondered why Cory never wears a baseball hat, now you know.

 

I haven't watched The Sandlot, but I'm pretty sure this is SmallS Provus. Or is it Cory SmallS? Not sure.

 

...

 

 

nitpic: it's "Smalls."

 

And you really should watch the movie.  Fantastic!

FIFY.

[USAFChief]

 

FIFY, by watching the movie.

FIFY.

[formerly33]

 

You sure watched that fast.

FIFY.

Sconnie ... it appears that you deleted your post, but aren't we glad that it isn't "You're killing me, Cory"?

chief said it better, but agreed

[USAFChief]

Meanwhile, how does Dozier not beat that out?

[DaveW]

What an embarssing series.

 

The inevitable downfall has begun.

[USAFChief]

They had been, for two months, pretty fun to watch.

 

Recently, this is the opposite of fun to watch.

 

It'll pass, the question is, will they still be in contention when it does?

[DaveW]

2 runs in 3 games, no players with a BA above .268

 

It's gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets better.

[David HK]

Gee, haven't been around the thread much today-  too busy watching hockey, where people are playing great team D!  

[Bark's Lounge]

Well, on a positive note, Gibson had a strikeout per inning tonight.

[formerly33]

The only thing I'm positive about is that we lose this game.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Plouffe!

And.... The catharsis.

I wonder how far Torii would go in removing clothes?t

So, we get a bit of wind storm, which covers the backyard with debris from our redwoods. I head out to clean up, knowing we're going to get hit with a good old fashioned MN thunderstorm..in Central CA. It was great to be outside with the rain falling as I raked.

 

My wife thinks I'm insane.

 

I didn't want to leave the crap on the ground, because the dogs would have dragged it into the house.

 

That was my excuse to be out during a thunderstorm, anyway. 

[USAFChief]

 

 

 

My wife thinks I'm insane.

 

 

Don't feel bad, my wife doesn't even need a thunderstorm to think the same of me.

With the Sam Francisco Giants game on the radio?

[formerly33]

Okay, my analysis (at this moment at least). We might have been winning games earlier this season, but our pitching was still terrible. We just managed to score runs early and barely scrape by with a win. Now our pitchers have improved (except for this trend of giving up runs early, and I'd have to blame the defense just as much as the pitchers), and in turn, our offensive skills have vanished. But Plouffe seems like he's trying really hard to un-slump, and if the rest of our hitters can follow suit, we might not be doomed - yet.

You think I'm crazy too?

You stopped me from saying:

 

Concur.

And I don't have a wife.

Well, I may have been confirming that which my wife already knew.

Nah, I'll pay attention to the Giants when the Twins meet them in the Series.

im certain, you've supported this team and community over the last 4 seasons, it takes a level of crazy to be that devoted

I do love me some Jon Miller on the radio.  Fabulous.

Are we talking Cubs fan crazy or just ordinary baseball fan crazy?

Well, now you DO sound just like Mrs Chief.

[David HK]

I think all-y'all are crazy.  Cra-a-a-a-z-y-y-y-y-y-y.  But in a good way.
