If there was a Bark Art Exhibit and next door a Van Gogh Exhibit

 

I'd go to Bark's everytime. 

[Jham]

Did you guys notice o'rourke shaking or his hand after a couple of those sliders?

[DaveW]

2-1 game 8th inning, thank Jesus the top of the order is due up, lord knows we don't have any PH for the bottom of the order since we need a 8 man bullpen featuring 4 guys the manager isn't comfortable bringing into high leverage situations.

Luckily Vincent only heard half of that!

You can have double vision. Has anyone ever had double hearing?

The other day my mom asked me, "Who's Van Gogh again? was he a Renaissance artist?"

 

Nope, mother dear ... nope. Not any more than Bark's creations are prehistoric cave paintings.

[Bark's Lounge]

Especially today, we need to win this one. In honor of the the 50th Anniversary of our 1965 World Series Team, I must raise the "Flag of Our Fathers"!

Someone needs to inform this Mariners reliever that his hat is on funny.

If anyone could, it would be Van Gogh.

It's probably that quiver on his back. It somehow knocked his hat askew.

I'd give a lot to hear one my mom's malapropisms again. Enjoy yours while you can.

 

/ Here is a typical one, from the 1960s, repeating a joke she'd heard. "Where does Batman take his trash? To the dump."

MAD Magazine... This was the stuff I grew up on.

 

The only magazine subscription I've ever had in my entire life. The only magazine I read religiously. 

 

Bark has got this type thing going on.

My favorite from Mom

 

I'd come home from a baseball game and she'd ask me "Did you make a score"?

Huh?

1 ****ing run in 17 innings vs the worst team in the AL.

 

This team is toast

[Ultima Ratio]

Sano and/or Plouffe should really learn 1B.  Our current 1B needs to retire, gracefully.

[mickeymental]

five hits in 17 innings don't cut it.

Mauer is the 3rd best hitter on this team the last 40 games.

Heh ... better toast than stale bread.

MIguel Sano: [Responding to being asked to play first base] I've only ever played third base.

 

Terry Ryan: It's not that hard, Miguel. Tell him, Wash.

 

Ron Washington: It's incredibly hard.

[Platoon]

I assumed this would be Jesperson

[jimbo92107]

I will say this about Trevor May: He's looking lean and mean, and he has developed his power reliever delivery. He looked practically overwhelming just then. 96 and 97mph, and spotting his fastball within about an inch.

Always got a laugh out of"Spy vs. Spy".

You don't have to repeat yourself.  I heard you fine the first time.

[ashbury]

Ah, our old bugaboo: lifting your best slugger for a pinch runner, when the best and most likely scenario is extra innings.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Does anyone else think it is "stupid" to pinch run for Sano, a) when he has good speed, and , the team is down by a run, thus the chance of extra innings is very possible ... then we would be without Sano. Yet it happens every time.

ah, AshburyJohn, we think alike, and at the same time.

[Platoon]

I wonder which scouting report said its a good idea to start Sano with. FB
