Suzui did. Now he wants his k back...

[mikeee]

So much for that no hitter..

[Ultima Ratio]

I sure hope Buxton learns to bunt in the offseason.  Would be deadly in itself as well as create more hits through the IF.

[Riverbrian]

 

... or Professor Plum in the conservatory...

 

LaBombo... you are simply better than me.

 

I would have used Mr. Green in the Study because it was easier to spell.

I once played on a baseball team where all 5 of us in the infield were named Dan.

your score keeper must have hated you five.

The two outfielders needed to cover a lot of ground.

All five?

[David HK]

 

your score keeper must have hated you five.

Although you only have to shout "catch it, Dan!" once.

[twinsnorth49]

More runs please......................Joe.

I've never seen water come out of the sky quite like it comes out of the sky in AZ. 

 

One of the funniest things I saw was a sign in a suburb of Phoenix, mind you, it was 105 and dry, and the sign said "do not enter when flooded."

 

Of course, every year during monsoon, some moron would try to drive across a road that was flooded, even though plainly marked.

 

Chief is fearless

[Riverbrian]

 

NOW do you remember when I told you that Pelfrey was going to throw a shutout tonight?

 

Now you've done it.

I bet they did have to be very precise when asking "who's covering second?" though.

[formerly33]

 

All five?

Didn't you hear? They've changed the rules.

 

@Dbax24 tweeted "Guy in the stands next to me yesterday asked his buddy if the opposing pitcher struck out four in a row that inning. #weplay3inthisleague"

Turns out you have to pay for the helecopter rescue.

[twinsnorth49]

Way to go Joe!!!!...........................WTF Dozier!!?

[USAFChief]

In play, run(s)!

 

I like agressive, but that prolly wasn't a good decision, dozh.

[Squirrel]

Started reading through the game thread to catch up and got to Chief's prom joke. Thought, okay, that's enough, just jump to the end.

 

Hi everyone.

 

And ugh, Dozier. I like your hustle, but you should've stopped at 2 on that.

[Riverbrian]

 

Way to go Joe!!!!...........................WTF Dozier!!?

 

Yeah... It's only Gordon

[sampleSizeOfOne]

All five?

Yeah.

 

Last time i checked, Pitcher and Catcher are also infielders.

 

You need 6 to complete the set... Battery included.

Ouch.  Could be dangerous.

 Not to offend anyone, but you didn't miss much. Not that you got anything in the first place.

It can't be a joke with no punchline.

[Gibby]

 

 

Yeah.

Correct. I was a catcher, and wasn't including the pitcher.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yeah... It's only Gordon

Maybe he did it to draw the throw?

 

You think Gordon had any chance to catch Hicks at the plate?

 

Sorry.

 

I'll stop makin' excuses... or at least those that pretend to sound plausible...

[USAFChief]

There ya go, Pelf.  Bring it home.

[Squirrel]

Huh?

 

What joke?

It can't be a joke with no punchline.

Okay, now that was worth jumping to the end. You two don't disappoint. Well, most of the time. (Still thinking of the prom story.)
