Isn't this the speech Herb Brooks told his team right before they went to play the Russians?

You mean the Soviets?

 

Was it before or after they replaced their water with vodka?

[sane]

How do you type with boxing gloves on?

Not that well!

[D. Hocking]

 

Let us know...

Does it taste like chicken?

 

Probably like the chicken Brian made last month.

[USAFChief]

It took an extra couple innings to cue up the "Keystone Kops" tape, but they found it.

[Jerr]

Well, there goes the Grand Slam   

[Ultima Ratio]

Playing the Sox makes me feel so good, but kinda icky at the same time, like a guilty conscience I guess.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Putnam is puttin em on.

[twinsnorth49]

This would be exhibit 562 on why the Sox suck.

[USAFChief]

 

You mean the Soviets?

 

Was it before or after they replaced their water with vodka?

Yes.

 

Dur.

[Jerr]

Ok, maybe now time for that Grand Slam.....

[ScrapTheNickname]

When is the last time the Twins had four players with twenty or more home runs?

[James]

Gotta love how you can count on the sox to kick the ball around once or twice a game.  

[twinsnorth49]

Putnam was going to throw a fastball there but his arm thought better of it with 1st open.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Plouffe is aiming for the opposite of the Golden Sombrero! The ultimate fork-remover!

[USAFChief]

 

When is the last time the Twins had four players with twenty or more home runs?

87?

[Ultima Ratio]

 

I'm about ready to eat crow over my reluctance to believe Escobear has the stamina to be a starter.

Be sure to Instagram it, or whatever the kids call a telephone these days.

This explains a lot, thanks

I think it is a strongbad reference, and i got distracted looking up the most recent email...

 

Lappier...

 

I see we scored another run (5-2) as someone predicted: with a walk.

[tharasix]

 

Not that well!

 

I thought for sure that you were making a Homestar Runner joke.  Ignore me.  Carry on.

Listen to James Galway's tribute to 9/11 in between innings. So beautiful and touching.

[Bark's Lounge]

 

LOL... The Raccoon works but the platypus doesn't. Replace the Platypus with an animal of your choosing. 

[USAFChief]

 

Putnam was going to throw a fastball there but his arm thought better of it with 1st open.

That's one way to avoid the grand slam.  WP first base open, IBB.  lather, rinse, repeat.

That also explains a lot, I think Sane could actually be Strongbad.

Honest question...do you remember that day?  

[twinsnorth49]

That damn Plouffe, can't hit his 3rd HR of the game with a GS on the line , what a chump..........

[James]

LOL

 

I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. 

 

Bark... You are the Best. 

[USAFChief]

Anyone else OK with Jepsen not having a save opportunity in the 9th?

[formerly33]

 

Honest question...do you remember that day?  

Honest answer: it's like my earliest memory ... well, I remember things from before then, but nothing stands out like that. Of course at the time it didn't mean anything to me, but the stress was felt by everyone and it's engrained in my memory.

 

Honest question: were you just curious, or are you being antagonistic and trying to say that I shouldn't have posted that since I don't remember it the way you do?

 

And by the way ... you may be old and remember ... well, everything ... but I was four years old at the time. Of course I remember it. I can remember Y2K. So there.

[USAFChief]

I'm not OK with Santana getting suspended for PEDs, but I will say he's earned his salary over the past month.
