I would be thrilled to see Ventura get Tossed out of the game today!

Man, the losing seems to be taking quite a physical toll on Ventura.

You are good with the photo-shop skills.  Granted a lot of your work is somewhat disturbing and gives me nightmares, but it is good work.

Points for the discworld reference.

...

To be perfectly honest, while i'm sure he uses the phrase in some discworld story (it being a good one)

I was specifically thinking of Johnny Maxwell and the Bomb.

And your other options?????

Thanks D. Hocking. That means my work is paying off.

Well played, old man.

Well played, old man.

Indeed, a pretty catch.

 

He be a-mentorin' tonight.

[Circus Boy]

Names...

 

Heard that the actor that played "Dennis the Menace" on TV met the guy who sang "Games People Play." Jay North and Joe South. It went badly. They were polar opposites.

[Craig Arko]

Pelf keeping it entertaining.

Our turn...

No matter. It gave me an excuse to link to one of my favorite scenes. Sublime combination of comedy and weirdness.

[stringer bell]

That non-error hurt.

On the plus side, the Sox are hitting the ball on the ground. On the minus side, Pelf's WHIP today is 2.50.

Mr. Harrelson just told a story about the last game of the year in 1967 during which he named-dropped a bunch of Twins's names (Chance, Versailles, Carew, Battey). I was very young (9 years old) at the time, but not too young to be stung by the painful end of the season. Anybody have memories that season?

[Hrbowski]

That was a horrible call by the stupid ump, stick a fork in him.

Oh, yes. Yaz and Rose Hose stole the pennant in a great four team race. All four teams were flawed, but the Red Sox had the best story and the best player. Not much offense in that era.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So, i guess we didn't have an insurmountable lead?

[stringer bell]

Good news--Nunez lost his helmet!

I think we had to win one out of two in Boston at the end of the year, and lost both.
