Castellanos playing 3 feet off the plate

[twinsnorth49]

What's with the impatient batting all of a sudden? This guy isn't throwing strikes. Hicksie has to do better than that first pitch hack.

[ashbury]

OK...I'll change as well. 

 

Yeah... I saw John Stockton do the same thing against the Lakers. 

OK... Well.... Uh.... I saw you make a similar joke in another game thread a few months back.

 

I think.

 

_{^{/ Don't believe I'm gonna make it to the end of this game. Still trying to get the knack of the eastern time zone. Getting the sleepies already...}}

Since there have been about 20 or so songs about Tigers posted thus far, I'll contribute to the best of my abilities.

 

How Tigers Cry

 

by Walking Eagle

 

I can't seem to find it anywhere online. Look it up on Spotify if you want to listen ... not exactly my style, but the name is fitting.

 

Which is different from

 

How Eagles Fly

 

by Talking Tiger

Stocking caps Dick?

 

He means a touque right?

Maybe... I'm running dry... It's September

Castellanos playing 3 feet off the plate

 

That could get him whacked.

[twinsnorth49]

 

That could get him whacked.

It's Buxton, maybe knocked over by the backdraft

[Hrbowski]

Miggy has been struggling.

[ashbury]

Stay out of California, then. You'll be burned to a cinder.

[twinsnorth49]

This one is sad.

 

[Squirrel]

Cmon, Twins! Score some runs, please!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Could the lyrics

 

"There was a smart guy from the city

and he picked up a striped kitty

he's a-movin' on."

 

be construed to refer to a tiger?

 

A misconstruction perhaps, but all the same, plausible...

[Gibby]

 

 

Stay out of California, then. You'll be burned to a cinder.

 

Hate to see that happen to the fella.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Cmon, Twins! Score some runs, please!

Concur.

 

It is time.

[Gibby]

...or a syphilitic strumpet.

[Squirrel]

I didn't spend a half hour on the phone with Comcast to see the Twins lose!

[ashbury]

Miggy has been struggling.

 

Quick, who's got the anti-jinx mojo?

 

[twinsnorth49]

 

Miggy has been struggling.

Hope it lasts a couple more games.

[Hrbowski]

Shall we storm the party?

I remember when I drove into California for the first time. I remember thinking to myself... I can see why this place catches on fire a lot.

If Boston hadn't hogged all the snow last winter...

[Riverbrian]

Hrbowski will have to turn around 3 times and then close the refrigerator door on his hand. 

[Gibby]

 

 

If Boston hadn't hogged all the snow last winter...

 

I was out there from the mid 80s to the early 90s and I barely saw four inches of snow at any given time.

I thought you were going to say accumulatively.

[formerly33]

Santana would have caught .... oh wait. I can't say that anymore? That was half the fun of watching.

[Gibby]

He could have had that. Just made a business decision.

[USAFChief]

Buxton catches that.

[ashbury]

Maybe this is why Bostonians are all so bad at geometry. They think that this (_{^{holds thumb and finger 2 inches apart}}) is a foot.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Quick, who's got the anti-jinx mojo?

Such a thing exists?
