Atta Boy... Umm... Atta adult. Carroll.

[glunn]

All's well that ends well. Carroll bails out the inning.

After buying 1000 t-shirts from them, they put your name in a drawing for one date.

 

There are t-shirts of her?

I picked up her photo from one of the sponsor ads at TD. I don't know what else I might pick up from her personally; maybe some pro-tips, maybe something else.

[Ultima Ratio]

I don't think the "piranhas" moniker continues, but i'd entertain "fighting goldfish" for the bottom of this lineup

[ashbury]

Gardy got thrown out. Anything interesting about that, or he just argued about a close play and decided to cross a line?

[Riverbrian]

​I think we can think about a possible CG now

You are such a pessimist sometimes. What about a plane crash and desert island scenario?

He couldn't even work up a good sweat about it. The ump wasn't playing along, so Gardy just decided to stay out there until the guy had no choice. Poor Gardy can't even get into a good rant anymore.

It seemed to me that he wanted to get tossed.

Shhhhh! But I was thinking the same thing: unlike that 1-0 lead, here we give him a lot of latitude.

[ashbury]

When you're ahead 3-0? I don't know why. Maybe, like Willingham, he's ready to loaf.

[glunn]

More insurance runs would be nice right now.

Please, no one use the "s" word.

Chief's got no shot even in those scenarios. It colors his views on the rest of us.

What about a plane crash and desert island scenario?

Without (multiple) witnesses (of impeccable character), I'm not buying it, so...no.

[ashbury]

Mauersie's BA is down from around .400 to around .300.

[glunn]

What about a zombie apocalypse that leaves only John and her barricaded in a Wal-Mart and she wants to repopulate the planet?

[Riverbrian]

I got the transcript...

 

Gardy: What happened... He was clearly safe.

Blue: Ron I got a good look... Beltre caught it clean off the hop... In time.

Gardy: I'm gonna throw eggs at your car.

Blue: It's a rental Ron... I'm already spitting watermelon seeds inside.

Gardy: You are so blind... You... You...

Blue: how blind am I?

Gardy: You are so Blind... You... You need Glasses.

Blue: Bah Doom Boom

Gardy: he wasn't Tagged...

Blue: It was a force Ron.

Gardy: If you say so... I need Glasses Man.

Blue: I'm gonna toss you now... We gotta move on.

I'm not sure a planet of crack-addicted babies is much of a solution. Which is the only means I have of succeeding in this scenario.

[Guest USAFChief]

My guess is she picks one of the zombies.

[glunn]

Dickbert used the "s" word. They should be tossed from the booth and let the rest of the game be silent.

[ashbury]

My guess is she picks one of the zombies.

 

So, you're saying I have a chance!

[Guest USAFChief]

The ball hit Arcia in the glove, a foot off the ground. Of COURSE it's ruled a hit. Good lord.

[Riverbrian]

Did Blyleven just predict a Kinsler steal down five runs in the 8th. I think he did.

[Guest USAFChief]

ftfy.

Hometown scorekeeping.

[glunn]

Serious question. Pull KC in the 9th and protect his arm, or leave him in to go for the glory?

[ashbury]

Nice inning!
