Does fiancee sound better than girlfriend?

This has been a long engagement.

If you are married... Girlfriend sounds better.

 

If you are not married?

 

Girlfriend stills sounds better

[Winston Smith]

On another serious baseball note, Brian Dozier has the second-best OPS of AL second basemen. I think he deserves an All-Star spot.

You should know better than to bring up serious baseball stuff around here!

[jimbo92107]

Wow, what a play by Brian Dozier. Leaped to snag a line drive, then lands and throws to second in one beautiful, fluid motion.

 

All Star!

[Riverbrian]

Not a widely held opinion, apparently.

Some may just have to read it two or three times.

 

When it sinks in... They will all laugh.

[D. Hocking]

 

I'm not sure which is more exciting having Lord Byron called up or having Brian back?

 

A player like Buxton comes up (if he lives up to potential) every twenty to thirty years (give or take) -- a poster like RB comes along but once.

[Vanimal46]

Anyone else tired of watching 2015 Hughes after being spoiled last season by his performance?

Has anyone noticed that Gardy is a bandwagon hater? He's sitting behind home plate with a red Rangers shirt and a blue Rangers hat and shorts on, and he has lost some weight from dating redneck Texan girls. (Is that backwards thinking? Maybe rednecks don't go out to eat.)

Pair-bond mate is safest.

The Iconic food winner for my road trip was the Lobster in Maine.

 

2nd was the Pastrami at Katz in New York

My lobster experiences are memorable too.

 

First time i was so slow dealing with the shell that it was cold by the time i ate it. Gets kinda rubbery when cold.

 

Second time the memorable part was being seated with strangers. They got their lobster as we sat down, and we chatted, then new strangers came when we got our lobster, and we chatted.

 

I'm sure i've eaten lobster at other times, and it was fine, but i guess i don't remember much beyond the butter...

Somewhere David Byrne is smiling.

Promise?

[Riverbrian]

I have to say... that is a food dream destroyed. That is the only reason I would go to Pittsburgh.

Good to know, thanks for the heads up. Since you have been away awhile, I'll leave you with a treat.

The Ham was good... Pittsburgh is worth the trip. It was my favorite city on the trip. Looking down on it from the Mount Washington overlook was stunning. Pittsburgh was beautiful and I didn't expect that.

[JB_Iowa]

Lookin' good Shane.

It was like I was on the DL for 3 weeks

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I can't think of anything more sad and lonesome in sports than a two-out, bases empty triple by the #7 hitter.

[USAFChief]

Bert with some scintillating analysis...that was the first fly ball caught by Buxton.

I love going out to eat with friends and being the only one who orders Lobster.

 

That way I'm the only one with a bib.

 

I look goofy but everybody else gets splattered so I'm OK looking goofy.

There's a Johnny Cash tune hiding in there.

Does sousaphone sound better than helicon?

 

It might be a matter of taste...

Not to my wife. She hates my girlfriend.

It would be a lot cheaper to just order a stick of butter in that case.

[JB_Iowa]

He's fast down that line.

Yes!

[spinowner]

There's Dozier taking Buxton's hit again. Except Buxton would have had a stand-up triple.

To be fair, I bet your girlfriend has little good to say about your wife, either.

I'm down with that. Less of a social experience though for most folk.

I'm thirsty

 

I think I'm gonna melt a stick and drink it.

Dozier showed him how to get it by the 3rd baseman though.

 

The mentorin' is on the other shoulders now...

Perhaps not as refreshing in warm weather...

 

What makes a good mixer (or chaser) for butter?

that's only half joking...holy smoke
