Plouffe is making up for all those solo shots in 2012

[DaveW]

Sano was tagging at first, and Plouffe almost passed him. That was a sky-high flyball that just seemed to keep sailing.

I thought for sure it was just an average SF, I will certainly take it though!

[twinsnorth49]

I would never have dreamed of putting that on ice cream.

much better in real life....try it.

[USAFChief]

Nice of Plouffe-see to wait till after Halsey's bedtime to hit the grand slam.  Would've ruined Halsey's night.

[stringer bell]

Good at-bats by all the hitters. Another homer on a pitch above the zone and this one was worth four runs.

[DiscGolfer]

Baileys on ice cream is really good too.

[AlwaysinModeration]

You slow down sliding into first, right?

[David HK]

 

Woops, i missed something. I didn't realized Bigfoot was an A...

That's why they're so rarely seen...

[DaveW]

Die

Top of the order a-comin' up for the third time.

Speakin' of desserts, i got lots of vanilla ice cream, and while it's plenty good on its own, if i'm feelin' like something more, what can do to or with it?

I sometimes crunch up a sugar cone and rain it over the top.

This is what Ervin Santana is supposed to look like. Easy peasy.

So a Chief walks into a bar.  Nobody there but the bartender.  Row of stools at the bar, empty tables, bowls of nuts every few feet on the bar, TV on in the corner.

 

I The Chief orders up a beer, the barkeep brings it to him, and after a rather lackluster round of small talk, the bartender wanders off to the other end of the bar, where he goes back to watching a rerun of "The Green Mile."

 

The Chief sits there, quietly sipping his beer, when he hears "Nice shirt, Chief."  It seems to come from nowhere.  He looks down at the bartender, who is 15 feet away and uninterested.  The words clearly didn't come from him.  "Maybe I imagined it," thinks the Chief.

 

Not a minute later, there it is again..."Have you lost weight?"  Chief looks around...still nobody.  He calls over the bartender and asks him about it..."Is there somebody behind the bar?"  

 

The bartender hears the story, says "No...nobody back here but me."  He thinks a bit, and I the Chief cacn almost see the lighbulb go on over the bartender's head.

 

"Oh," he says.  "That must be the peanuts.  They're complimentary."

Y'know what goes really good on ice cream?

 

More ice cream.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

The late night west coast jokes. Been waiting for these

[DiscGolfer]

is there an ice cream delivery service out there?  I don't want to leave my couch right now.

[twinsnorth49]

Just first.

[Willihammer]

You can Bitesquad Izzy's. They're open til 11 IIRC so you better hurry.

[USAFChief]

Got kids?  A spouse?

 

Works for beer, too. 

 

Usually.

Doing jokes in the 3rd person now?

 

Who are you, RB?

[twinsnorth49]

Anyone else seeing that crazy wizard game pop up ad?

RB-wannabe.

The Green Mile rerun detail is what made the joke, I think.

[twinsnorth49]

I like this Santana fellow, he's pretty good.

[USAFChief]

Thanks.  Thank you very much.

 

I'll be here all week.  Try the chicken, and don't forget to take good care of your waitstaff.

[twinsnorth49]

Captain Abad in for the A's.

[USAFChief]

7 shutout innings?

 

pfft...what's his xFIP?

[USAFChief]

That's just a foul ball in Oakland.

[Willihammer]

Rosario's Punto impressions are pretty rough but you have to admit the kid shows promise.

[Willihammer]

OK how long has Rosario had a brace on his left wrist?

[twinsnorth49]

Park adjusted?
