What?! Buxton was in the lineup?! I didn't even know that!

 

And he announced his presence with authority, thank you very much.

BUXTONZEE!!!!!

5 Exclamation points? That's a lot of exclaiming...

Hey Chi, how's Hawk doing?

 

 

I don't know. Someone suggested that my remote had a mute button so I decided to try it.

Good use of the anti-jinx.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Off a curveball. Welcome back, kid.

[USAFChief]

SPOILER ALERT

 

Gophers and OSU scoreless just prior to kickoff.

You didn't read the game thread then. For shame.

 

You cannot completely blame him - the thread was at about ten pages by about 9 am.  Kind of cool people are still so excited to talk about the Twins and their performance and play on the field, that the thread would generate that much traffic this late in the season.  Especially when making the play-offs is not a sure thing this year.

"White Sox announcer, give me your tears."

I just remembered that I forgot to bid on those baskets that the Twins wives were auctioning for charity. I kinda wanted that ukulele.

Still ... the lineups were in the first post. Can't believe anyone would skip that even if they didn't read the rest of the thread. For shame stands.

That was some margarita.

[operation mindcrime]

What an eerie game thread. There's been over 300 comments so far. We've lost 13 straight and there was just a pneumonia commercial for Prevnar 13!!

[Squirrel]

That was some margarita.

Indeed.

Yes, that was the gist of the discussion. Do not trouble yourself to read it in detail, you will merely confirm my statement.

[jimmer]

Alex meyer first pitch 98 mph. Second pitch 99 mph

[USAFChief]

 

Indeed.

I read the first page, and am saving the rest for the holiday weekend.  I am really looking forward to it.

It's been just fine unless you are one of those who found Pee Wee's Playhouse creepy, like Ash. For shame.

[Aggies7]

I look a good, quick game like this one.

[Aggies7]

Ervin and the other pitchers don't need any more pats on the back. Maybe some kicks a bit lower.

[USAFChief]

Routine scoreless inning.

Routine scoreless inning.

Dude, spoiler alert for those of us with verizon

[sampleSizeOfOne]

How many have they stranded?

You've heard of ROM on a computer, Read Only Memory?

 

Game Threads are the answer to that. Write Only Memory.

[Squirrel]

 

Indeed.

Hey! You promised never to post that one!

[USAFChief]

Like a juggling routine, eh.

[ashbury]

 

Indeed.

“It is mine, I tell you. My own. My precious. Yes, my precioussssss.”

FTFY, for additional clarity.
