I like Johnny Depp in most of his movies.

 

Ok, all of them.  Except one.

Heh, I loved his uncredited role in the movie '21 Jump Street.' It kind of aged me when I was one of the only ones in the theatre laughing at that reveal with Depp and Peter DeLuise.

You obviously don't know your classics. Check the titles on each of those respective movies then get back to me. ;)

I don't even recognize the latter as being worthy of similar subject matter let alone a classic regardless of what it's actually called.

Boy, Dickbert is really giving it to Gibson tonight. I'm kind of into it.

 

I noticed that too! Also like it. Usually they're big time homers and don't criticize - but they've been all up in Gibson's grill today.

Oh sigh ... the joke is lost on you ... woe is me! Heh. It was clear which I was watching from the title as the Depp movie was titled 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.' Only the Wilder classic has the title I gave earlier. :) And yes, I know, I'm behaving like a Wonka snob.

Gibson is still just one start away from causing some fans to be subjected to the seldom-invoked 26 beer rule.

The game does have a slow-pitch softball feel to it. Joe Mauer owes two cases for tomorrow's game, plus he has to wear the pink jersey.

Not lost on me at all. I realized my mistake. I was just doubling down on my initial flawed point that the Johnny Depp version sucks. Gene Wilder could make watching paint dry amusing.

Question: are we sticking with Gibby here at least until Hughes gets back?  

 

Yes, and in other news, I'm going to be driving a courtesy Pinto

Gibson has to be frustrating to everyone not just Gibby himself. 

 

Molitor is trying to give him a major league job and Gibson keeps not taking the offer. 

 

I assume Molitor is an advocate for Gibson and when you go against the grain while advocating... poor performance is going to cause a stronger reaction to it. 

 

Bottom Line: It will be much harder to go back to the table and say... "I think Gibson is coming around".

 

Gibson is slipping out of the majors before our eyes.

I actually liked the Depp movie. It's just not comparable. Very different movie and just not in the same category as the Wilder movie.

Good observation.

All I got over here is gameday-- but Lordy, Gibby is out there in the sixth-- at least he took care of Soundgarden.   This is excruciating.  A 6 run lead should feel better than this.

This rotation is Unsafe At Any Speed. Which, too often, is under 90 MPH.

About that Gibson/Molitor meeting. Your humble scribe had his trusty microphones well planted for this game and, without much further ado, will present a transcript of the conversation:

 

Gibson: WTF? Molitors on the way to the mound? Crap. Did I shave? Underarm deodorant still deodorizing? No..this can't be...

 

Molitor: Just what the blankety blank are you doing junior? (please note, Molitor has to look way up to look Gibson in the eye) Gibby, you either stop screwing around or I'm gonna kick you so hard, you'll wind up in AA ball. Got it? Oh, and another things, ever heard of a toothbrush? Yeesh, kid, floss and brush. Your breath would knock down a bull at 70 paces!

 

Gibson: Uh, okay, sure, skipper. Do you recommend Gleam, Crest, Colgate or Pearl Drops?

 

Molitor: Say what? That was an aside, youngster! Get your act together or get your bags packed, your choice!!

 

Gibson: Mumbles..I think I'll go with Crest....

Absolutely love Molitor and chewing Gibson's backside. Deserved. Needed. Maybe one of the best moves Molitor has ever made.

 

It's still a crappy performance by Gibson, but he suddenly has the look if a real life, grown up ML pitcher after that little "pep talk".
