See ya'll in 45....

Is that when the game is expected to start?

[Craig Arko]

JHC it's raining? In TX? How do they get their grass that brown if it rains?

Horses and cows?

I think that's what Hanneman said

[USAFChief]

Thanks for the assist(s) with lineups.

They're saying 45 minutes after the tarp comes off. Don't know when that happens.

 

Meanwhile, I've got Star Trek and Svengoolie to keep me awake.

Meanwhile, I've got Star Trek

I'm a doctor, Jim, not a very good actor!

Forget it, Bones.

From Phil Miller:

 

UPDATE: The tarp is being pulled, though a light rain continues to fall. Assuming it gets no heavier, the Rangers say, first pitch will take place at 9:15 p.m.

Bones would have used one of those whirly thingys on Buxtons knee last night, and he would have stayed in the game. . Unless of course the engine room was low on Lithium Crystals again.

With the late start plus Nolasco and Lohse on the mound, I'm thinking the finish time over/under probably clocks in just shy of 1 AM.

[stringer bell]

OMG! An original Star Trek that I have never seen!

[Platoon]

What's the over/under on anyone still being awake?

[Craig Arko]

Thank pitchforks and pointed ears.

[USAFChief]

 

What's the over/under on anyone still being awake?

0.5.

 

And I'll take the under.

This is much more fun to read if you read it as Capt Kirk:

 

UPDATE:  The tarp...is being pulled..though a light rain...continues to...fall.

Pickoff saved that inning.

[USAFChief]

Well that pickoff was timely.

[USAFChief]

If I tell a joke, and there's nobody here to read it, is it still not funny?

[spinowner]

A great mind thinks alike.

You tell jokes?

[USAFChief]

Vargas...unhook the plow.

[stringer bell]

Pretty certain that the Twins need more than two.

[spinowner]

Don't let up, boys. Keep treating him like a minor league pitcher.

[USAFChief]

 

You tell jokes?

Only to those with the sense to appreciate them.

[spinowner]

 

Vargas...unhook the plow.

That's not a plow. That's his backside.

[S.]

Roy sure does have a man-crush on Danny Santana. With the way he describes him, you'd think he must be at least halfway decent, but words are deceiving. 

[Blake]

Yes? No? Maybe? Ni? 

[Blake]

 

Only to those with the sense to appreciate them.

Or the sense to ignore them.

 

Guess which category I'm in....

[Blake]

Ricky's just gotta Ricky.
