A: the site is pretty much unusable for me today, so checking out.

B: Duffey looking like a real MLB starter.

C: North by Northwest.

 

Oooh.   My 'like'  wasn't for the 'checking out' comment,  Crark.

Casablanca?

 

I Believe it's from Casablanca. 

 

Rick Blaine says it right before the German guy gets shot

 

I could be mistaken. 

Pretty close.  One of the "Anchorman" movies.  The good one, not the other....

Calling a Sano dinger here.

That's right 

 

Bogart in Casablanca said "To Infinity... and Beyond"

It's a fool what looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart...

There's nobody on base so it was certainly possible.

Okay, even though I've never seen Casablanca ... Yes, I've never seen Casablanca <insert big gasps here> ... I know that's not true.

[LaBombo]

 

Well, then ... you saying that makes it a good time for me to head out ... 

 

Well,   if you have to.    But just so we're clear,   I can't really cause the Twins to blow the lead just by mentioning it.

 

Just predict it,   with the approximate reliability of forecasting a traffic light changing from red to green...

 

 

Hope the comforting of the friend who lost the cat goes well.   Maybe the Twins will fight off the jinx and brighten up your day with a win.

Yeah, I get those movies confused, too

Quit calling them and maybe they will happen. You don't have the touch.

Just so we're clear, that don't mean we can't blame you for it.

In all seriousness... You probably should find it and watch it. 

 

It doesn't matter if you end up liking it or not. Not seeing that movie would be like saying you've never had a hot dog. 

[Squirrel]

 

Well,   if you have to.    But just so we're clear,   I can't really cause the Twins to blow the lead just by mentioning it.

 

 

Nope, nope ... you saying it will cause it. You don't get to squirm out of it. Nope, not letting you get away with it. And your punishment will be ... being strapped to a chair with your eyes taped open with the English Patient playing on an endless loop.

[LaBombo]

 

 

If this goes south, ain't nobody gonna be tossin' you a rope after THIS post, friend.

Minus the cool airplane scenes?    If we're going to do this,  let's do it right.

Excellent retort.  Silent, but deadly....

At least now I'll know what went wrong when my posts suddenly become the site's sole beta test subject for the controversial new    ' dislike '    button.

What??

 

"Joe Mauer Whiffleball Bat" sounds like a GREAT promotional idea to me!

[stringer bell]

Loved "When Harry met Sally". It does contain one of the classic lines in movie history. I've enjoyed probably a third of ChiTown's list.

[Riverbrian]

 

Rosebud.

 

So obviously... since I haven't seen the movie.

 

You threw that one over my head on purpose.

Don't worry about it LaBombo. If that happens Matthew Broderick and Helen Hunt will free you from that experiment and you can then go live freely in the wilderness of Florida.

[Riverbrian]

Polanco sure LONKED that one. 

[LaBombo]

Polanco apparently did not have the jinx meme forwarded to his phone,    so that's good.

[jimbo92107]

I was just thinking Jorge Polanco looks like a ballplayer, and now he does this.

I actually think it was a term of endearment meant for you.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Marney brings up a good point on Play Ball weekend.. Who would win in the 1st annual Twins Daily home run derby?

 

 

Ahem.
