Good call --that is the "look-at-the-guy-across-from-you-until-he-is-a-blur" ride

Doze stayed in the game--that fires me up.

[USAFChief]

 

Well

 

It Tilts and it Whirls... So...

 

That thing

You TRF boys always were a little starry eyed at the fair.

That's how the future Mrs Dave W (aug 12th!) describes our first encounter.

Pitching around Kepler to pitch to Sano with the sacks juiced?

I think he has changed his story over the years, with regards to what the ride was; as his buddies must have been merciless in Junior High or Middle School.

Matt Joyce accidentally catches a Kepler liner

[ashbury]

I'm a softy

 

I like the Sirens

You broke it. You bought it.

 

Ash out.

[Dr. Evil]

Dozier with a straight shot to the elbow. That won't feel good tomorrow.

Hope infection doesn't set in!! He will need a good mustard plaster, some Epsom salt and plenty of Anacin!

I was on one of those once with my brother and sister. Was having a good time and my sister and I were really making it spin when my brother made us stop because he was getting too queasy. Wuss.

You wouldn't have wanted him to RiverBrian all over you, would you?

[GCTF]

Marrying into the Hicks family?

[Squirrel]

Probably not. But that doesn't make him less a wuss.

[ashbury]

Well, the game's starting to drag and I'm an hour ahead of most of you anyway so I'm going to call it a night. Thanks for the laughs, all, and bring the win home in my absence.

[snepp]

"Veteran presence."

 

 

 

Drink!

How the heck does Matt Joyce still play for an MLB team anyway

[Dr. Evil]

I can't even see the batter behind Rodgers' neck. #prominent

[Jerr]

 

How the heck does Matt Joyce still play for an MLB team anyway

Well, his batting average is .002 higher than Buxtons

 

I really don't know why.

[snepp]

 

How the heck does Matt Joyce still play for an MLB team anyway

 

I'd guess it probably has something to do with his ~.800 career OPS against right-handed pitching.

[DaveW]

 

Marrying into the Hicks family?

Too many hicks on my side of the family already, I fear if I were marrying into that family it would be illegal in every state not named Alabama.

[big dog]

 

Yeah... Immediate.  

 

She was speechless but yet I still knew it was an immediate dump by the way she tried to form words with her mouth but couldn't. 

So two immediate dumps on the same ride?  Talk about a bargain!

[Riverbrian]

This Colombo guy throws a lot of curve balls.

yup.  He straightens em all out at the end, though.

[USAFChief]

Belisle always scares me.

[David HK]

 

Yup.

I just get the feeling that Bert has a jar of worn-out old baseball cliches, that he just keeps picking from and reading.  

 

I swear to Gawd, "good piece of hitting...."   Bang, zoom, Alice!

I swear to Gawd, "good piece of hitting...."   Bang, zoom, Alice!

 

And to make it worse the jar of cliches seemingly gets less extensive and more repetitive every year.

 

 

I can't be the only one that misses duck farts.
