lol ... I'd better take my own advice ... 

 

Whatever you're having, it's polite to share!

Water ... lol ... you know, I'm high on the simple pleasures (but wouldn't mind the complicated pleasures, either)

And you guys are distracting ... I have a cartload of music I'm trying to catalog!

[Danchat]

Polanco! I just wish he would have hit like this back when we were competing for something. He's really taken Cruz's place in the lineup now. Could he hit 30 HRs this year?

Did you at least live dangerously and put a lemon slice in it?

I really like gnomes ... I like to pretend they are having a dance party at night while I'm sleeping

Perfect.  I've got a spot for him by my Gardy Gnome!

[mnfireman]

Very clever Rocco....pinch hitting a RHB for a LHB vs LHP!!

Dirty glass?

Dirty glass?

It's my traveling water bottle ... and it probably could be a little cleaner

[Squirrel]

oh crap

[Squirrel]

I mean, I'm happy with 3 runs in one inning ... but it should have been more

Yea, I try to get involved in the forums. Not great at it...except on Sunday's when I write the recap and am tied to my computer anyway. I like trying to get little blurbs from others to include in my pieces. Wish I could embed posts from here as well as tweets can get embedded.

This is a really interesting idea. Touch base with me during the off-season and we can figure out how to accomplish this for next season.

Twins now at 93% win probability, which is exactly 7% less than my needing to pee b4 the next inning.

Okay ... I'm listening to O mio babbino caro again instead of God Bless America ... because ... well ... it's beautiful

Oh god. A digest full of Who's On First and Princess Bride references.

[Squirrel]

three ellipses, share ... copy and past link ... 

 

 

Okay ... yikes ... if that could be tailored just a bit to just the user quote, would be perfect, no?

This kind of thing is not what I had in mind when I mentioned that it was polite to share.

I guess I need to be more careful about what I wish for!

Yep! The current incarnation is a bit clunky and it shouldn’t be too much work to refine it a bit.

My turn what? I'm not telling you when I have to pee ... but I'm almost there

Or at least maybe allow an edit to it ... but yeah ... wish it were just the quote ... although the thread info is handy so you know where it came from, but maybe without the first line of the OP attached

Yeah, without thinking about it too much, that’s  pretty much my thinking as well.

Getting back to Jake Cave, there is this today:

Luis Gil is first pitcher in the modern era (since 1900) with 14+ K, fewer than 10 Baserunners and 0 Runs allowed in his first 2 career MLB games.

5 shutout innings today vs Seattle. Sigh...

Good news is NYY still lost 2-0.

It'll have to do since the Library of Alexandria burned to the ground.
