Lol ... I said that very intentionally because I know some of the current discussions in other threads. I may not post all over, but I do try and read as much as I can.

I think you and van were the two who caught it.

I almost went with...i hate you... But it was funny...

[ashbury]

Um, what?

No, Hu. He's encountered a somewhat rough patch in the Southern League.

[LaBombo]

 

Mauer.  10 big ones for the year!

 

YEAH!

 

That's one more than the total you get by adding his Fangraphs ZiPs, Steamer, and Depth Chart HR projections together.

 

Let the Festive Dance of the Position Change Power Renaissance begin (a little behind schedule)!

If this was 1909, Mauer would have edged out Ty Cobb for the HR title in the A.L. and defecated on his triple crown chances.

 

Chew on that for a minute. Oh wait, yuck.

[Squirrel]

Wow, that Plouffe can sure run the bases!

[Squirrel]

And I almost went with, 'Well, you started it!' Heh

AJ the sieve..  

 

Just kidding.  He's a great guy.

That might be an ish.

 

A Mauer - Ty Cobb conversation might have been interesting to listen to -- I think their personality types were slightly different (besides one being alive and one not)..

What is more improbable than a hog flying?

 

Two walks in one game by Rosario.

Typical Canadian, shows up for The War of 1812 two years late!

Just came for OT.

Love that Rosario at bat

[Squirrel]

Well, poop ... I wanted more runs.

 

Yes, I'm being greedy.

 

But I don't care.

I wanted to see someone else's staff to implode to ease the residual nausea of last week's so-called baseball

Ouch. If I read that correctly.

Most people say "poop. . .please stop the runs," but to each his or her own.

I wonder what the attendance in Atlanta is tonight?  Looks bleak.

Ish. Definitely ish.

Ish. Definitely ish.

Too many jokes pouring into my head. I'll merely say I'm going to pass.

[spinowner]

 

So, how many of you have gotten a hole in one?

Too bad spinowner isn't here; he could tell you all about the one he got back in high school playing the local course.

And he got his name in the paper and everything!

Just checked in and saw that I was mentioned. I'll tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

First of all, I've never been a good golfer. I'd usually hit 2 or 3 good shots in an 18-hole round. I think I've played once in the last 15 years.

So. City Park-Rec tournament at the local 9-hole course, probably 1971, which made me 15 years old. Par 3, 170 yards or so, slightly uphill. I believe I used a 3-iron because I didn't know any better. I swung hard, hard enough that I lifted my head a little and bladed the shot. I'm surprised I didn't cut the ball. So it's basically a line drive that bounced once or twice and then bounced again right where the hole happened to be. The ball probably would have wound up 30 yards past the hole otherwise. I challenge anyone to describe a luckier, less-deserved ace.

Love that Rosario plate appearance

I've reached a conclusion that Polanco's eyes are more irritating than those of Clete Thomas!

I think it is proper etiquette to keep your eyes closed when your kissing someone. That's what I have been told, you tell me.
