I've either had too much scotch to enjoy this, or not enough.  I can't see decide which.

I'll wager too much.

Autocorrect definitely got the better of me there. 

 

And maybe the scotch too...

And Chief is on a roll!

Don't tell him that.  He'll keep telling jokes!

Not really.  It's rather unpredictable and has a harsh finish.  Especially when I'm the company of others.

They have the same middle name. 

I believe they also both conquered Persia.

Um ... what?

[stringer bell]

Yes, Celestino is improved. Yes, he is an asset in the field, but I've never seen more soft hits. What is his BABIP?

Fair point.  Seems safer not to encourage him!

Glenmorangie.

I like living dangerously

[wsnydes]

Um ... what?

I plead the 5th.

Yeah, a 5th of what I don't wonder

The history books really don't give Winnie the credit he deserved.

Glennadams.

.477, including today. 

Perfectly sustainable, I'd say. ?

[stringer bell]

Sixteen outs, no Ks and honestly, they didn't hit the ball hard in the first inning when they scored the run.

[wsnydes]

Suddenly, a baseball game interrupts the game thread!

Don't encourage it.

It's either mockery of me or your jokes, soo....

[Schmoeman5]

Wow! That camo works so well I couldn't see that the umpires were wearing it too. Damn Chief. You was right 

[USAFChief]

We are simultaneously the worst team in the history of organized baseball in stealing bases and preventing stolen bases.

[Danchat]

What was that throw from Sanchez?

[Buffy the Twins Fan]

Jax hitting 96-97 consistently on his fastball is so encouraging to see

I get a kick out of Gladden. He's so terrible.

 

One of my favorite Gladden things: Provus will ask him a simple question and Gladden will ramble for 20 seconds without ever coming within 100 yards of addressing the question.

 

I lost patience with Dazzle a while ago. I listen on the radio randomly while driving; if Gladden is on I often never know who’s at bat, what the score is, even what inning we’re in. Then there’s a crack of the bat and the roar of the crowd and Danny says “wow”! Wow, what?!?

He’s not as bad as he used to be in this regard, but I wish they’d put him back in the proverbial bench.
