There is only Baseball Season and Not Baseball Season. 

The worst thing about winter is that it's Not Baseball Season.

VIkings are a bunch of drunk guys in a boat. They travel from Village to Village looking for Meat and Beer. They have long beards that get caught in the oars from time to time and they have horns on their head but are so drunk they don't even know they are there. Kinda like lampshades.

Love the hat.  But yet another example of the wearing of spandex being a privelege, not a right.

Amen.   Spandex always holds the potential of being the garment equivalent of a (face) cheek tattoo of your life's most embarrassing moment.

I think I'll stick with the baseball sirloin.

A little butter, a little home-made raspberry syrup ... it's what breakfasts are made of ...

Baseball relieves my hockey withdrawal and hockey relieves my baseball withdrawal, it's a good arrangement.

Pffft Buxton, trade him.

Nah, it's selling low...

On second thought, putting the baseball sirloin in the middle of one of those would be good.

It's pronounced: Æbleskiver.  

 

Thanks, google.

Go Blackhawks!

How's that Patty Kane thing coming along?.................................too low?

Damn ... now I'm hankering for some Ebelskiver!

They traded my favorite player, so I don't care. Unless they make the playoffs, then I'll care again ... but only a little.

I never made a habit of randomly shouting at helicopters before, but this might be a good trend. They seem to be going just fine.

Oooh, that's right, forgot about them dumping your boy Sharp.

I grew with some people who made incredible Ebelskivers.

 

Yum.

I hope Dozier hits 3 more dingers to reach 30 on the year and then... then... I hope Dozier continues with a few well placed bombs over the LF wall in the playoffs on the way to a world series. 

 

And Then... Then... I hope Dozier spends the winter in the Dominican Republic or Australia and learns to HIT the BALL THE OTHER WAY ON OCCASION!!!!

Note: they are all wearing their seatbelt(s), so they're allowed to hang their feet out the window.

When the North Stars were pirated away by that total scuzz Norm Green most of my hockey fandom went away. I've never been able to get myself interested in the Wild. The only good hockey moment of the last 20 years for me was UMD winning the NCAA a few years back. As for the Gophers, they are the Yankees of college hockey, and, worse, their fans are the Yankee fans of college hockey.

okay ... can't believe someone didn't do this already ...

I'm satisfied he uses a bat. Is there really another way you want him to hit it?

Mankind's inability to comprehend the idea of a heaven has sometimes been compared to our failure to conceptualize infinity.

 

Thanks to your post, one of those barricades to the evolution of homo sapiens is now removed.

 

And it's only the 6th inning!

Good save. I was about to parody you mercilessly.

I still can't hear the Mexican Hat Dance at games without mentally adding, "NORM SUCKS", where you're supposed to clap.

[twinsnorth49]

This Duffy fella is pretty good.

[LaBombo]

jokin in the game thread house!

 

Serious, Fangraph-y discussion about the swing and miss ratio of Duffey's curveball underway, but you're a serious student of the game, so jump right in...

I haven't read 'em. Is this what Chaucer wrote about?

I was also meaning to say this could be a cool concept and a clever joke.

I'll take the Burger to win, the fries to place, and the ketchup to show.

 

I found this quote about the Canterbury Tales:

 

"Chaucer's characters each express different—sometimes vastly different—views of reality."

 

It seems like his story really might have just been a premonition of TD game threads that would centuries later..

[Blake]

Duffy's curveball is making me laugh. And glad I'm not trying to hit the stupid thing.

 

Wow.

I feel your pain, I lived it as well. When the Jets came back to town though I cried, 16 long years of frustration.
