OUch, me too.  Ruined the Xmas school break Sr. year at UND.  Of course, I don't think the temp ever got above 0 for those couple of weeks, so it was pretty much a wash.  Lotta baking soda baths.

 

Hm.  I should have one of those again, just for old time's sake.  Sooooooothing......

 

I've got that beat.

Early Saturday morning, FIRST day of summer vacation after third grade, woke up to watch cartoons.    Bothered by a mosquito bite but didn't think much of it.     Went upstairs for breakfast.    Both parents made 'The Face', the one where you know something is wrong.   Got to start my summer sitting inside with chicken pox and wanting to peel my skin off..

I love this game!

[spinowner]

Gordon catches that.

[Dr. Evil]

Escobaaaaarrrrrrr

[RedBull34]

I'm not superstitious, but damn Dick, how hard do you have to jinx a guy... "You almost expect Escobar to get a hit..."

Not superstitious if it works?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Now that's placement by Escobar...

[Danchat]

Eddie Escobar has put the team on his back and he's carrying it. This is fun to watch.

[jimbo92107]

Luck won out over Dick's jinx! Blooper from Super Escobar!

[David HK]

Ahhhh, Esco.  Just in time to go back to work.  T'anks!

My Kids got it... I called Mom and asked her if I had ever had Chicken Pox and she said that I did when I was real young. 

 

So... I didn't worry about it at all. I helped care for them. I was absolutely fearless. 

 

Mom Called back a couple of days later. You know... It was the Mumps... You had the Mumps... Your Sister Kari had the Chicken Pox. 

 

Sure Enough... The Spots started showing up. I was like 32 and then Mom started telling me that Chicken Pox are much worse when you get them as an adult.

 

Yup. Lucky you had your kids already. Getting chicken pox as an adult can cause sterility.

Actually that's mumps.

[LaBombo]

 

My guess would've been - he is a vulnerable adult, he is a multi-millionaire, he talks to strangers too much, he is grieving his wife's death, and his son became a meth addict and he is probably the perpetrator.

 

The magic of Bark.   It starts out as a seemingly harmless post about Forrest Gump, and turns into a lost episode of   'Breaking Bad'...

[ScrapTheNickname]

You almost expect Hicks to get a hit here!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Looks like guys are making all the plays and Molitor pushing all the right buttons tonight. Good call on Hunter tonight. Great game! 

 

 

.....so far?

[Squirrel]

Actually that's mumps.

I know. Shush. Was just trying to see what Brian had to say.

[mikeee]

yay!

I have broke out the vodka today!

(that rhymes)

Must God bless America every day?

 

It certainly must need a lot of blessing.

I don't follow...

[Danchat]

This just in: Escobar is just 7 points away from being the team leader in batting average - and if you don't count Sano, he's tied for the lead with Rosario. (!!!!)

[jimbo92107]

Ever since he got his SS job back, Eduardo Escobar has been playing very happy baseball. Like a man who finally gets justice, he looks liberated and joyful with every play and every at-bat. I say leave this guy at short as long as he's wearing that big 'EE' t-shirt under his uniform.

Nothing gets me to change the channel faster.

If you don't count plate appearances,

 

Pelfrey is leading at .667.

[DaveW]

With Escobar nailing down the SS spot, only catcher remains as the one "must upgrade" spot for this lineup heading into 2016

[Squirrel]

Cmon Tommy! Don't get soft, stay tough!

[Dr. Evil]

Gee looks like we got a starting shortstop, I like it!

Wait, what? You're advocating Esco for SS? Does that mean Brock was right?

[USAFChief]

 

Actually that's mumps.

You're both confused.

 

It's vascectimitis.

[Riverbrian]

 

Yup. Lucky you had your kids already. Getting chicken pox as an adult can cause sterility.

 

(Stunned Silence)

 

There's goes the plan to I had to re-populate the earth after... I don't know... Whenever it's needed.  

 

 

[Squirrel]

Gomes was a little slow leaving the batter' box after that called strike 3.

[Ultima Ratio]

Time for some hard-nosed managering!
