Well, see, RB's game intro referenced crabby.  And then blue crabs.  

 

So North, being clever, made a "crabby" reference, tying his comment back to the intro.  "Blue," of course, is another way of saying "sad."

 

So....crabby, and blue.

 

Blue crabs.

 

Blue crabby.

 

Or something like that.  I thought it was funny.  Maybe I overthought it.

Actually, no, it was pretty good. I'm just culturally stunted. I googled blue crab, which brought up the wiki disambiguation page, and it's apparently the Maryland state crustacean.

 

This gives added depth and resonance to a running gag i had not hitherto understood.

 

I'm sorry i was so lazy.

Do we nick name folk?

Would Mr. Gong show be apt for an adept with the hook?

I like Glynn better than whoever was 3 base coach a few years ago.  Was that Vavra a couple years ago?  He had no idea when to send a runner home.

 

Scott Ullger?   He waved runners from third to the dugout on several occasions, and once sent another on a highly illegal human organ courier trip to Hong Kong.

Oh, congrats on 12k.

Wasn't paying attention. Did ya do aught to celebrate it or mark the occasion?

 

If it's the latter, there's a company that makes several products to both prevent and clean up after...

3 K in 3 IP, somebody needs to tell Duffy it's not the Twins way to strike batters out.

I like "Extra E" because of Duffey, which usually has one less e at the end. It also reminds me of line from a urine fetish ad in New York: "The extra E is for extra pee!"

 

Or we could call him Captain Hook or something, true... Dr. Hook?

OK... Bark... Now we need Sano in full hunting gear with a machine gun standing over the bird.

Fantastic Show... It was must see TV as a kid.

Who was before Ullger?

Add Wile E. Coyote

 

And a Box from Acme

[Winston Smith]

Torii looks washed up. I'm afraid father time has him  in his clutches or has stuck a fork in him.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Nice catch, Duffey.

[Riverbrian]

You gotta go ways back for that. 

 

I think it was Sir Walter Raleigh

[LaBombo]

 

 

That is correct David. We do shag them sometimes. It can get awful lonely on that god forsaken island. We also eat them, along with penguins. You can only eat so much fish, and the fish of the South Indian Ocean is nothing to write home about.

 

But the Grouper Loaf of the Diego Garcia Expat Club is not to be missed if you're in the neighborhood.  Wash it down with a bottle of Nature's Miracle...

Duffey is flattered Jones tried to kill him.

[ScrapTheNickname]

i was wrong.

[USAFChief]

Strike four!

[Ultima Ratio]

So... that's a super strikeout, yay!

[twinsnorth49]

It's SHOWALTER Bert, SHOWALTER!!

Add Wile E. Coyote

[Riverbrian]

If my last name was Showalter... My kid would be named Walter... Without Question. 

[Danchat]

Wow, this kid can pitch. I wonder if he'll have a chance to be in the rotation next season. If not, you'd think he could be a good reliever... especially with that curveball.

[USAFChief]

 

If my last name was Showalter... My kid would be named Walter... Without Question. 

Sure.

 

//think about it.

[twinsnorth49]

 

If my last name was Showalter... My kid would be named Walter... Without Question. 

What if your last name was Sherwalter?

 

 

edit, Damn, sorry Chief, didn't see your more clever post.

[Riverbrian]

 

Sano Oriole WC Acme.jpg

 

And the Caddyshack Gopher

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Mauer swings at the first pitch.

 

So does Sano.

 

2 more runs for a 7-0 lead (wait, we've been remiss for Mr. Circus Boy, eh?)

[twinsnorth49]

THE SANO SHOW!!!!!!!!

[Ultima Ratio]

We might having something here with the Sano fella.  Looks serviceable.

I've been there my friend. I didn't have much of an appetite. I was part of the group of scientists that had to examine the dead bodies of missing flight MH370. The extraterrestrials did quite a number on them.
