If we win this game we will have to determine whether Vanimal is on a date, and if so, he will need to go on 140 or so more dates between now and October (plus hopefully some play-off dates).

 

That's what I did in 1987

 

Those women really wore me out. 

 

 

[Puckett34]

 

Thank you. It's REALLY weird.

Like who thought it was a good idea?

 

Here's how I think it went down.

 

Head of Kickstart energy drink marketing:  Jim, you got any ideas for our next marketing campaign?

 

Jim (not paying attention):  Ah...Um...Puppymonkeybaby...?

 

Head of marketing:  You're a genius Jim.  Just as amazing as your Hot Pocket jingle.  Good work.

[jimmer]

 

You cook rather than buy? What kind of Californian are you? 

Same kind I am, apparently

[formerly33]

As much as I hate the puppymonkeybaby, I have to admit it stuck in our minds.

 

Not bad marketing, that.

For me it was 1995.

I keep losing the ability to comment on a given account.I go through the procedure to restore that ability and usually forget my password, don't receive the required email message to change existing password.Finally after wiffing at all the curveballs thrown at me, I am left with one option....."create new account".

I think I've read this somewhere before ...

[D. Hocking]

 

That's right ... the winningest combo has been me on the game thread with vanimal on a date.

 

True - I checked on a thread last week and Vanimal was posting and you seemed absent, I knew then it was a lost game.

Nothing is worse than the "My Peperona" jingle or whatever it was. Gad...bad yet memorable. Almost like a recurring theme.

Converted Braves fan I see.  Tough bridge to cross after 91

huh?  I meant the 140 dates from April to October.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Dozier hit the ball real hard every AB today. With the way he likes to ambush pitchers in late, close games, and Strasburg over 110 pitches...was set up nicely.

[Riverbrian]

 

For me it was 1995.

 

That's the difference between you and I.

 

Me and my Women... We kept going until we won a world series. 

 

I just hope Vanimal realized the responsibility he has. 

[Circus Boy]

Trevor and the zone are strangers again.

[jimmer]

Seems I DID actually jinx it when I said the bullpen had done well today.

It's a long story involving a beautiful young French woman and an evil old French woman.

I couldn't continue.  The Air Force decided 5 years was enough in that country for me :-)

[Blake]

We need a Sox style triple play here.

same woman?

[Puckett34]

Thought you went on a bunch of dates in 1995.  Braves won the world series in 1995.  I made a attempt at a bad joke that didn't land.  This is awkward now.   haha

[HitInAPinch]

Dammit 

 

Yeah, that's all I got....

[Squirrel]

jimmer ... this is ALL on you.

[Aggies7]

Let's stop trying to make Trevor may a thing. It's not going to be a thing

Madison Avenue is a strange place. With Millions of dollars on the line

 

Not only did someone come up with the idea. 

 

That person had to convince his boss that the idea was good enough to pitch. 

 

Once Pitched... The Kickstart Energy Marketing team... not one guy or gal but a team of them... had to like the idea over all the ideas they were pitched. 

 

So the question isn't so much how did this pitch get sold

 

The Question is... How Weird were the pitches that were turned down instead. 

 

 

[jimmer]

 

jimmer ... this is ALL on you.

I went outside, turned around three times, and spit right after I wrote it...

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Nice bullpen you've built here Terry. Pathetic effort from May. Should be ashamed.

Rant over

Oh and screw the Dallas divers

[formerly33]

 

It's a long story involving a beautiful young French woman and an evil old French woman.

I wonder why you fail to specify that the young woman was also evil and the old woman was also beautiful.

 

Ageist.

[Squirrel]

You didn't do it enough. You need to turn around so many times you fall over from being dizzy, and spit until your mouth is dry.

[glunn]

This is why we needed that insurance run. Still no outs.

[TwinsCD]

Remember when we used to have Wilson Ramos?

 

Thanks, Billy!!

Quick, toss some salt over your right shoulder.
