In honour of Father's day, i present:

 

Stone Soup Game Thread Intro

 

In my pop's declining years, the last grocery run he was willing to be part of was for sake of the joke of asking where they kept the stone soup. Which was in mind because we'd recently watched the episode off Jim Henson's the Storyteller that features it: A Story Short.

 

This episode stems from coming to the best bit of a story and suddenly not remembering what comes next. Fortunately i don't have that problem... yet.

 

Happy Father's day all!

[ashbury]

An Englishman, a Frenchman, a Spaniard and a German on vacation all happen to be watching a busker do some juggling at the city market. The juggler sees that these four gentlemen have an obstructed view, so he stands up on a nearby pedestal and calls out, “can you all see me now?”

They reply:

“Yes.”

“Oui.”

“Sí.”

“Ja.”

 

And that, folks, is my contributed ingredient to today's Father's Day Stone Soup: a dad joke.

[USAFChief]

Complete the sweep.

 

It’s what I want for Father’s Day.

 

Oh, and a nice steak, medium rare, with baked potato and grilled asparagus. With a glass or four of good Chianti.

Stuffed pork chops, grilled veggies and popovers at Che Blake today.

Thanks!

 

If that is a dad joke, may i enquire after the offspring? What are they like?

A joke worthy (for lack of the right word) of Chief.

Keep your drink out of reach of infants or you'd have to take Chianti from a baby.

[Nine of twelve]

OK boys, let's be ready to play from the start!

[D. Hocking]

I want to wait a few more games before I judge how Joe is really feeling, but that Joe/Eddie at the top of the order might not be a bad thing.

[Nine of twelve]

Do that every inning and we'll be in good position to win the game.

[mrmpls]

Nice start Joe and esco, Boy does Dozier look lost at the plate

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Escobar doubles Mauer in.

 

Yes is now the answer to the leading question.

Wasn't there movie called The return of the Joe/Eddie?

 

An appropriate pappa's day movie even, if i recall.

If not there should be, and for some reason I see a yellow lab or golden retriever involved. - would be very 1980's Disney.

[mrmpls]

Garvered, Think the base coach sent him there ?

[drock2190]

Adrianza gets a F in baserunning. 

 

Dude gets out way too many times on the basepaths. 

[kydoty]

Someone check on Tom Kelly after that incredible brain fart by Garver.

[drock2190]

Another fail in the outfield. 

[mrmpls]

Not your best moment there Eddie, Reminded me of Delmon young

What? No census taker's liver?

[jun]

I am tired of seeing Garver make an out when running on the base. Don't be greedy if you don't have the speed.

[D. Hocking]

There really are not many times this can be taken as a compliment are there - at least defensively.

[mickeymental]

ah, the artistry of jake the would-be painter.

[jun]

Eds just keep improving and Dozier is just the opposite, our 'star' Dozier now has an OPS under .700

[Danchat]

I don't want to be Negative Nancy, but after seeing both Adrianza and Garver have baserunning blunders on the same play and seeing Dozier fail in that RISP situation, I have the feeling we're going to lose this game. I think Cleveland's offense is going to come alive today, but we'll see if Odorizzi can hold them...

I assume this has something to do with the score being tied, eh.

 

Only spuratically checking on things.

 

Soup could use a dash veterin seasoning, i assume?

[Blake]

No, I'd prefer my ears remain intact, thank you very much!

[mickeymental]

the ol' double-play setup. smart.
