LOLOLOL!  Obviously, I'm not Catholic.

 

in response to...

 

I'm pretty sure that no player does that, as I believe you're confusing Ash Wednesday with Good Friday.

 

Warning: The following link has some religion and perhaps a little politics implied, but I found it a very thoughtful essay from someone who I haven't particularly cared for as a TV host -- Tony Reali.

We now return to your regularly scheduled mayhem.

After doing taxes this week and owing, again.... It got me thinking how it wasn't so bad being a broke college student getting money back from Uncle Sam! 

I didn't say broke, I said poor.

Today's opening thread post was hilarious. You've got a dollar from me for every game....get a dollar from all the other posters and well...you might be close? Here's to the Twins keeping up their winning ways! Hope Kepler/Sano drop a few more bombs this weekend and Buxton can actually get a hit that lands further than the infield!

Got to honestly say that after reading that I have tremendous respect for his faith.

 

Around the Horn on the other hand...

Almost seems like they're going to have to play through the rain tonight. Tomorrow afternoon doesn't seem that good weather-wise either. Don't think they would want to postpone two games.

[Riverbrian]

 

Can't we just take away his Twins shirt, since they lose when he wears it? 

 

That is great out of the box thinking. Unfortunately not wearing a Twins shirt doesn't guarantee victory... My shirts only have the power to guarantee losses so I need the opposing teams. 

 

Rest assured... I have decided to only wear the Twins shirt on off-days.  I'm trying to use my power for good instead of evil. 

[Riverbrian]

 

You call them polo shirts still?

 

I wonder what younger people call them, since Polo isn't really a huge brand anymore....

 

I call them golf shirts now, not sure why, other than most courses require collared shirts, and collared is more syllables than golf.

 

I've only known them as Polo and when you search for them online they are listed as polo. 

 

Golf Shirts? This is the shirt I wear when I golf. 

 

[Riverbrian]

 

Just curious but if a player is Catholic and goes to mass on Good Friday before the game, do they play the game with the ashes on their forehead?  Has anyone ever seen that?

 

The answer is... I haven't seen it but it is possible if the Catholic player doesn't wash his forehead or sweat for 6 weeks.

Alright... That's 16 bucks... We are a little closer to that world series championship.

I really hope we play. Been seriously looking forward to it. 

 

With my schedule and the constant day games so far. I have not watched a full game yet on TV and tonight was going to be the first one. 

 

No game tonight would be cruel.

I don't know if you understand the magnitude of the risk to humanity you are suggesting by taking away Riverbrian's shirt.

I'm retired so I can only afford to give 2 cents.

It's alright Winston... I like it when you put your 2 cents in. 

 

 

 

 

$16.02 is the new total

Hey if the Twins have a couple of rain delays and restarts maybe the 13 pitcher staff will actually come in handy for once??

[diehardtwinsfan]

80 degrees and sunny in Indianapolis... they just chose the wrong venue.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Mr. Riverbrian.

 

If it is cold out, do you ever layer 2 shirts? Or if you dribble chilli from a chilli dog, do you change?

 

What happens then?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Would it be going out on a limb to forecast a K for Buxton? Or would that seem like too transparent an antijynx?

As long as there, does not become some kind of next day voodoo, then I won't stop pushing for taking it away......

Golf or Polo shirts have collars...as I have learned.

 

That's a t-shirt......................

I said "we" and my part is done. Suggestions are POWERFUL....let me know how it goes, as my "we" part is done......  

[Jerr]

5 miles North (or so) of Target Field here and I see only GAME ON!!!!!! No rain that will stop it, but, it is warming up could change...........................highly unlikely

I just keep it easy- anything with a collar is a "dress shirt" yes even if its covered with White Sox logos.

Any dress shirt can be worn to church btw.

I love Jesus.

I would NEVER wear a White Sox shirt to church.

[Willihammer]

Anyone going to Stations of the Cross/Good Friday mass, don't forget to gear up!

The White Sox starting outfield all have the last name of Garcia. It will be the first time all 3 starting outfielders had the same last name in MLB history.

In honor of this, I suggest everyone who uses gameday tonight "watch" in Espanol.
