See, Chief, while you were taking one of your extra long naps, they invented this thing called newsprint....

Which, I'm told, was killed by the internetz.  

 

And I'm past the internetz age limit.  Halsey too, I'm pretty sure.

[jimmer]

Have the lineups been announced yet?

[D. Hocking]

 

Chief says never to explain a joke, but yeah, this was kinda out there...
 

 

Chief's jokes are at a different level and standard than other jokes because they are usually so new and fresh.

Woah, you got back up to speed quickly!

[spinowner]

UND hockey is right down there with the Gophers. Well, maybe just slightly above the dastardly rodents.

[ashbury]

Is sound just the waves in the air, or is it actually something receiving and translating the waves?

Yeah, and if sound doesn't travel in a vacuum, why do vacuum cleaners make so much noise?

Ooh, ooh, I know this one!!!

 

...

 

 

"Yes."

[ashbury]

"Yes."

We're certainly transmitting right now, but I'm not sure if anyone can reasonably be expected to receive and translate.

If I type something in the thread, and everyone ignores me, did I type something?

What's the score?

//ssssshhhhhh.  everyone:  let's mess w/ Mike.  Pretend you don't see his last post//

[ashbury]

What's the score?

We're losing, nothin' to nothin'.

Positive note - so far no strike outs.

I've never met you, Brian, but your entrance into a truck stop seeking brethren reminds me a little bit of Pee Wee Hermann. Not in a bad way, mind you, but in a good way.

Knock it off!  I have to pretend to work this afternoon.  Nobody is going to believe that I'm actually doing anything if my face is two inches from the screen and squinting trying to read such small font.  (I'm aware I can zoom, but I refuse).

I predict some complaining about the zone.......just a hunch.

 

50/50 a Twins is tossed, I'll go Molitor.

I wasn't going to watch any more games til they won one, but had to tune in yesterday to see how Nolasco would do. It was worth it..........til he got lifted. Actually flipped the channel when Perkins came in, but flipping back and forth I did witness the blow. Not sure what to do today.

We need a human sacrifice. Do you think you're up for it?

The 1899 Cleveland Spiders started the season 1-4. They finished their season with a 1-40 stretch. We're too late to have a better start but we can have a better finish. 

Best 12th post ever, I'm pretty sure.

I'll do it. I'm sure there's a makeshift altar around here somewhere. And a makeshift human.

Consider it done. Next post from you better be from the beyond. Tell us how it is by the way. But the main thing is that you'll be dead and The Twins win a laugher today. Your life will have had meaning, my son.

Dear James' Boss:

 

James isn't really working, he's just pretending.

Do you want James to be on the hot seat after six games?

Dang, this made me laugh out loud. I was happy I was on mute....

I don't think he was volunteering himself as the sacrifice. Perhaps a poll to see who it should be. For baseball gods, does the sacrificial entity have to be a virgin?
