Bowling shoes are the bomb. I have designed some and maybe can figure out how to post pictures from the old catalog.

 

I have a friend here in Tucson who has a thriving custom bowling shoe business.

Out of curiosity, my "shoe" count...

 

 

Work shoes (some version of Merrill hiking shoe)

Backup work shoes (same as above)

Work boots

Cheapie sandals for lake duty

Aqua socks for lake duty

Non-work tennis shoes (rarely used)

Dress shoes for khakis (more rarely used)

Dress shoes for suit (even more rarely used)

Non-work boots (never used)

 

 

More than I thought, may need to expand my mini-shelf a bit.

Odorizzi went 3.2 with 92 pitches. 

 

Bad enough, but not 120.

 

 

 

The important thing is that Odor managed to compress 120 bad pitches' worth of futility into just 92, so... efficiency!

Does he customize existing shoes or make them himself? All of the current bowling shoes from the major companies are made in China. Are you familiar with Lind shoes?

Thanks Chief, I'll take a few. Will PM you and Carole (the shoe girl) tonight.  Maybe we need a opener about mens shoes.  It's kinda weird talking about shoes...maybe there's a weird foot fetish going on here...Kinda creeped out but whatever.

I think the answer to this game and game thread is more shoe talk and pictures ...

I think Revelations might be more appropriate. The end times are upon us.

 

7th inning fan Exodus is looking pretty likely too.

The Twins are in the same division as the Indians.

 

 

The Twins are not in the same league as the Indians.

 

yarnivek, out.

 

btw, I mentioned about a month ago that my wife and I were working toward adopting a teenaged girl. On Saturday we will officially take over her foster care and start down the path to adoption.

Congrats! :)

The internet has failed me.

 

I seek an image from the movie "6 String Samurai" where death says "you have failed me for the last... Nice Shoes!"

I’ve always called this pair my bowling shoes. An old, comfy pair of Eccos:

Still haven't figured out what i think of pointed toe shoes.

Is there some facet i don't appreciate?

Ahh, the soft underbelly of the Indian's bullpen.  And the bottom of the Twins' order.  It's like being caught between a rock and a hard place, only totally opposite.

I missed Dozier's last GDP while driving across town.  On the bright side, the guy at the take and bake pizza place gave me two free pies.  Not sure why, but I took em.

Gamecast only tonight for me here on the road. For some reason only Dozier, Rosario and Escobar have their first initial between their last name and their position abbreviation on the lineup card.

 

No biggy for Dozier B 2B and Escobar E SS, but with Rosario E LF tonight, I'm stuck with a mental image of this guy playing ball:
