L.A. Confidential?

[snepp]

Upper-cut swing!

[LaBombo]

 

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.

 

Flying Tilt-o-Whirl vomit teaches an unforgettable physics lesson about centrifugal force.

L.A. Confidential?

 

I cannot confirm or deny such level of confidentiality.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

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!

Its a disservice for sure.

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

 

And that curve is even more deceptive with his ability to release it while eyeing the hitter in the on deck circle.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Negative.

hey did you post that before he struck out? No cheating!

[USAFChief]

 

hey did you post that before he struck out? No cheating!

He posted that before the game started.

[snepp]

And yes, my favorite cereal having a gun on the box may explain my troubled developmental years.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

C'mon Kintzler.

 

You have to bring this one home for Ashburyjohn, remember.

[USAFChief]

here we go.  hold on to your hats.  it's not over till the fat lady sings.  you gotta get 27 outs.  there's no quit in this A's team.  anything can happen.  You can't pitch yourself into a save, Kintzler.

 

Wait, that last one doesn't fit.

[snepp]

Need some of Kint-zie's groundball magic.

[Danchat]

Nobody's really talking about it, but Yonder Alonso has been the AL's best first baseman so far...

Brandon?  Mrs Chief would like a word with you.  

[USAFChief]

You're absolutely right.

 

Nobody's really talking about it.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

No worries.

 

Breslow is warming in the pen.

[glunn]

I just got home and the bases are loaded. We need some outs here.

we blame you.

[Aggies7]

My ulcer

[glunn]

Good choice by Sano there. Now let's get 2.

[Shaitan]

I thought Molitor was trying to manage the BP better this year. NEVER bring in your closer with a 4 run lead.

[USAFChief]

Plouffe's got one more 6-4-3 in him, surely.

[Aggies7]

Of all the times plouffe gidp..
