Can Nolasco pitch again today? 

Congratulations!  You've just composed a sentence that has never been made before!

I just couldn't resist.

Jesus, that is TERRIFYING! I had a couple of dicey situations, but nothing as crazy as that. I remember getting screwed up with the Kansas Turnpike... Not wanting to go on the toll road but couldn't make the maneuver quickly enough, so I was stuck on that toll road... And a lot of stretches on I-35 where the speed limit was 75+ and the stupid U-Haul topped out at 65... Thought the engine was going to burst in flames chugging up some steep inclines. 

Let's just say that had the passing fool heard what I said, they and their truck would have burst into flames.

 

Honestly, to this day, I have no idea if the guy in the truck realized or cared what he did. However, I suspect he thought he was invincible because he was driving a 4X with a lift kit.

[OrangeKicks]

It looks like some sanity has returned to the Twins lineup today. I'm calling two dingers for Sanó!

[USAFChief]

 

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.

But, Halsey...if you don't watch any more games, how will you know when the win one??

 

 

[Jerr]

Can we win that first game, Twins?

Paaaaahhhleeeeze.....

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Good to see UND take their rightful place at the top again, congrats!

I thought we were an autonomous collective...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I don't follow. I often say Go Twins.

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

 

Goat wins sounds eerily similar to Go Twins...

 

Sorry i missed it on the first pass.

[ashbury]

Seems like a heck of a lot of trouble just to get to.... Texas.

You have to first GET to Texas in order to keep on going.

[Platoon]

Have fun driving the Budget truck! For me, there was nothing more terrifying than driving a U-Haul with my SUV hitched to the back all the way down I-35 to get to Texas. Never again....

 

My oldest daughter and I moved her sister from Medford OR to SO MN in winter. 3 days, 2000 miles, two blizzards, 3 road closings for weather, pulling a SUV on a trailer, no F*^€ing cruise control, and a CAT! One of the worst drives, and the most fun I have ever had. There is a Shell station in West Wendover NV that is still standing despite her best efforts. Top question of the trip: "why don't they put those cows in the barn?", when seeing Black Angus out on the WY prairie in the snow. Lol

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

Sanóty!

 

_{^{/ OK, the accent messes up the meter of the joke a little...}}

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Wait...

 

Truckers are allowed to stop? There are trucker brethren? On the grand scheme of things, this sounds like a great relief, but the significance of the question "are we there yet?" is somehow diminished...

 

I too am about to embark on a bit of a drive, so i'll perhaps only be chiming in on ye olde game thread via wireless device from gas stations and rest stops.

 

But first... i want to be...

 

A Lumberjack!

[Craig Arko]

And that's okay.

You were maybe lucky it didn't go faster! Going fast isn't the problem, stopping can be. . We had a Budget, some guy in the same size rig from a different rental blew by us on 80 in WY, slow down signs flashing all over the freeway. 2 miles later we found him jackknifed in down a 20 fr embankment. patience is a virtue!

[Mike Sixel]

Well, we still need to get 1-2* cars from here to OR.......but it isn't the same as a truck.

 

*Well, my son and his girl friend are going to drive out this May also....we just don't know if they are driving her car, or one of our cars.....

[Drew]

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.

This is great. The Spiders are now the bar we are measuring against.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Let's get it done today. Please. Team needs a confidence boost. Who are the Sux pitching?

[Cap'n Piranha]

You're fooling yourself.  We're living in a dictatorship, a self-perpetuating autocracy!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

At least they have to be good at hockey.

And that's okay.

I appreciate the support!

 

This may sound kinda obvious, but lumberjacking will have to wait until i get an axe.

 

Hatchet just won't cut it... well, in a timely fashion, what with having to drive soon.

 

But i still don't know the answer and i feel i should now: if a tree falls in the backyard, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound.

 

I wasn't there... But i get to clean up after it. Once i'm back from my drive.

 

At least i mowed the front lawn.

[Platoon]

Once again I learn something by reading Game Thread. Exactly what value I gained... ummmm...

 

_{^{/ edit - one of the things I learned is that you have to include "Duchamp" in your Google Image Search string...}}

Once again? You mean there was another time?

[Mike Sixel]

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

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Anyway, i'm off.

 

Have fun stormin' the Castle!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yes,

[DiscGolfer]

I'll be at the game, I'll be wearing a red hoodie if any one is looking for me

Finally!  A party I can get behind!  This off-shoot that admittedly lacks graphic creativity is good too!

I take full responsibility for these 6 losses.  I haven't been engaged enough to watch a game yet, but that ends today!....sort of.  My son has baseball practice this evening and I might have to leave before it's over.  Once again, my bad.  I don't see it as the Twins being off to an 0-6 start.  Rather, I am off to an 0-6 start.
