And please don't blame the bullpen...

 

But......Belisle!

[Aggies7]

You had me at "liquid xenon." I'll bet that stuff is very cool and very dangerous.

This is the only zenon I'm aware of. No one over the age of 32 should get that reference.

I run around all evening doing errands listening to the Twins on the radio.  I get home and the score is 4 to 3 Twins.  End up doing some chores, fix the washing machine, let the dog out all the while thinking it will be nice to sit down finally and watch the game and banter with my TD friends....Just turned on the tv and it's now 7-3 Rockies.

 

Listen, if you guys can't do a better job of keeping the score close while I'm not watching we're gonna have to have a little sit down conversation about perseverance, jinxes, etc.

 

And please don't blame the bullpen...

You were doing chores for a long time.

 

Since at least May 5.

Lethargic at best.

Great word! Lethargic. One of those words that is not just a word but sounds like what it defines.

Gophers are on BTN right now, just homered, are winning, and apparently are contending for first place in the big ten

I have never heard "letter-gic" in my life.  

 

And my life has some length to it.

And Chief is over the age of 32 33 times

Yeah, no, that's well after my youth and my kids youth and, very like, after my grandkids youth.

Are they going to get shafted like the lady gophers softball team?

Right.  Warren Zenon.

I'm not sure why but your post made me think of this: 

 

Nyquil comes in two colors, red and green, and it's the only thing on the planet that tastes like red and green -- Lewis Black. 

[Aggies7]

The Rockies will be 25 years old next year. Let that sink into your skulls

[Blake]

 

Right.  Warren Zenon.

[USAFChief]

The warren reference reminds me of one of my proudest moments:  true story, I was stationed at F E Warren AFB in Wyoming, and went with a team to the annual Military Bowling Championships in Vegas.  I came up with the name for the team:  

 

Warren Piece.

[Riverbrian]

 

Right.  Warren Zenon.

 

Well I lay my head on the railroad track
Waiting on the Double E
But that train don't run by here no more
Poor poor pitiful me

*insert Chief age joke*

Latroy Hawkins career batting stats: 0-8 with 7 ks

Big deal, I made 25 years ago.

[Aggies7]

I wasn't aware that you are an older guy. It's never brought up on here

Haven't I had enough damage to my skull already?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

2nd double for Castro.

 

Insert obligatory framing comment here.

I figured by now your skull was one giant callus and, therefore, impervious.

[USAFChief]

Shadows are fallin' and I'm runnin' out of breath
Keep me in your heart for a while
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for a while

When you get up in the mornin' and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for a while
There's a train leavin' nightly called "When All is Said and Done"
Keep me in your heart for a while

Keep me in your heart for a while

Keep me in your heart for a while

Sometimes when you're doin' simple things around the house
Maybe you'll think of me and smile
You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse
Keep me in your heart for a while
Hold me in your thoughts
Take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view

Stop thinking, reduces cranial stress.

[twinssporto]

I would not have PH Gimenez here. Just saying.

[COtwin]

Gimenez?  Does Paul just want to go home?

The Giant part won't make me self conscious at all.

 

By the way... Here is my most recent vacation photo.
