That's like when you go to Buzzfeed to choose a soy bean and find out which Disney Princess you are?

It just occurred to me...

 

Is Leia now a Disney Princess?

 

What about Ms. Piggy?

 

Ah, complexities of franchise acquisition...

and who could forget opening day 1970? twins 12, white sox 0. brant alyea 4-for-4, 2 hr and 7 rbi with a complete-game shutout by jim perry.

Brant Alyea...what a start that kid had.

 

Speaking of which...I wonder what Jim Perry is doing these days.  Might be a fit for the 3 spot in the rotation.

I don't like Castro hitting behind Sano for lack of protection. 

 

I also don't like talking about baseball in the game thread. 

 

Let's get our act together, people. 

Hey, I've already brought "The Princess Bride" into a game thread. I've done my part!

[Craig Arko]

Not gonna be on here today as it's my uncle's memorial service... 59 is too early to go and cancer is a *****...

Have no fear, the Twins will win today because my uncle would want a win on this day.

Enjoy opening day everyone.

Yes, 59 is too early, and cancer is exactly that. Sympathies to you, Van.

162-0 here we come...

 

 

Here here, I'm with ya.

 

"...the possibility of 162-0 still exists no matter how unlikely..."

 

I'm so sick and tired of all the Negative Nancy's around here.

Hey now...watch the names.

 

I prefer nattering nabob of negativity.

I consider myself to be a "Negative Nellie" thank you very much!

I knew someone would point that out! More like, I was thinking, man, these allergies are annoying. Oh, wait, that's why ESan misses time! but, ya, I really would rather just have ESan be very good...

 

The only allergy I wish upon Mr. Santana is a strong one to PEDs. I wish him zero allergic reactions, mind you.

I didn't know Canadians listened to Led Zeppelin.  Unless Jimmy Page had a stint in Rush that I'm unaware of... That's how you know about Jimmy Page, right?

I didn't know Americans listened to anything they couldn't lay claim to. Get back to listening to your Foreigner or Toto or Styx or something. 

 

 

P.S. I can't stand Rush.

toto. for some reason, I like toto (well, the hits). It is not explainable, frankly.

[USAFChief]

by the by...I fully intend to run out of "likes" today.

 

Get 'em while you can.

Perhaps it has to do with blessing the rains in Africa?

I am not fan of death myself, nor of things what lead to it.

 

I'm a huge fan of things what lead to death. Just not a big fan of avoiding those things.

I expect this thread to go 35 pages.

And remember how everyone was saying that Brant Alyea was going to be the next Byungho Park?  That memory is clear as day for me.
