tea? Really? Is that where it same from?

Perhaps not. But as good a theory as any, and i suppose it was just a way of asking anyone out there who knows better to enlighten us.

 

There is however a large portion of the world that take their tea time rather seriously.

 

And some of them take tee time seriously too, as links can get crouded.

I often refer to dinner reservations as tee times. My wife just continues to roll her eyes...

Is this how you make sure your wife is listening? Asking for a friend...

[Craig Arko]

All this talk about tea makes me nostalgic.

I saw Wells pitched 2 perfect innings for Australia against Japan and somehow got a blown save out of it? How does that work?  

 

I have never seen that guy pitch-he must be a very different prospect. Sorry if this is the wrong thread-just seems like the place to be.

In game threads, it is generally frowned upon to stick to the subject at hand. It's part of the TD style guide.

Don't tell your wife that there is this guy names Brock out there that looks exactly like you.  She might try to trade you for the model that has a "better" sense of humor.

Oh cool. A Riddle!

 

Perfect inning relief blown save?

 

My guess?

 

He didn't start the inning. Save blowing runner was on base when he came in, and scored on something not imperfect such as a ground out.

 

What do i get for guessing?

As a newer addition to the board-- it's good to see these types of boardisms being passed on. So it's sort of like my Aunt's book club where they basically just get together each week and drink wine and if the book doesn't get brought up-- no one cares?

Book club mentioned in a baseball thread? By Jove, I think he's got it!!

Actually, one of the things we like about each other is that she thinks I'm funny...

Jake Reed, Aaron Slegers, Alex Wimmers and Drew Rucinski have been assigned to pitch for Team USA

What a resume piece for these boys! Proudly representing your home country because your country's team didn't want to use any of it's actual assets against your actual team. Wow!

Pretty realistic actual lineup there....

Last season (and much of 2012, 2013 and 2014), it was usually preferable if the game did not get brought up at all.

I was going to say the same thing followed by a hmmm ... but not sure about the 3 in the middle if I'd have them in that order ... but mostly, yeah.

Are you thinking you'd put Kep at 4 to break up the righties? I'm not sure I see him in the 4 spot, but I'd love to see Berlin Bonds prove me wrong...

You seem to have your moments on the game threads.  I saw a chance to get a cheap laugh and I went for it.

Well, I think the only thing left for you guys to do is hug...

Nah.  I'm not going to Oregon for that.  We'll just toast on Untappd instead.

Baseball!

 

Sorry... Got carried away for a moment.

So the Twins against Team USA is on TV for my watching tonight and so is Alaskan Bush People on the Discovery Channel. 

 

What to do? What to Do? 

[Taildragger8791]

Tough start to the game. Sooo...anybody read any good books lately?

I read a couple of street signs on the way home. 

 

Not all of them... but some.
