I dream of having flowing locks like Thor, but wasn’t blessed with volume in my hair. I grew it out in college and learned very quickly that my hair is thin and straight. 

Isn't there a whole musical about hair?

Maybe it will tell us how to get some.

I’m not sure. But a bunch of bands in the 80s had something to do with hair. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Tie game.

[Vanimal46]

Yikes… 

[ashbury]

Welp.

I remember watching Lord -Zacuza dominate on channel 9. Heckuva jammer! Elbows sharp as scyths!!

I think you put bands around your hair to control it....

Skrinchies they are called?

Or  maybe skrunchies?

You betcha. Now we get a bullpen rollercoaster ride.

The Jorge Alcala Experience.

[Vanimal46]

Do we have a catwalk situation like Tropicana Dump?

[LaBombo]

I've noticed that when Alcala pitches well, his name sounds cool to me.  But when he blows a lead, his name seems like the kind of word you make up in your head when you have too many damn A's in Scrabble.

Was the penalty on you or #10, btw?

Check out my avatar ... safely in a pony in that

[Danchat]

Alcala's raw numbers have been good, but when it counts he's been disappointing, just like the rest of the bullpen. Gives up lots of solo HRs.

The name is still spoken with reverence in the hallowed locker rooms of the Cedar Rapids Civic Auditorium...

So you're saying he should always pitch with a runner on, making solo homers impossible...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Out 3.

 

Maybe we can score again?

Perhaps give Alcala a win?

Anyone who has been acting or nicknamed Thor probably has the dreamy locks of hair. All of the above!

*room

Singular.

 

Both teams shared the same locker room. Got real dicey during tournaments.

[USAFChief]

And now mlbtv tells me I'm in the blackout area. To be fair, I did move to the other end of the couch.

Yikes, just read about that in Wiki.  Sounds like the pregame prayer turned dicey when the Luther College hoops team played the now-defunct Algona Atheist Academy.

[RickOShea]

Can someone explain to me when some pitchers come off the mound they look up to the sky and make some hand signs?

[RickOShea]

I did that after filling car with gas, and other customers gave me the weirdest look.

Yes.

 

Not me, but somebody can.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I had a Kepler meme all queued up for that big moment tonight, but, alas there was none

But I will post it anyway:

Kepler!

Even I’m old enough to know not to move when the bunny ears picks up perfect reception Chief… Have you tried hitting the TV?
