I misread option A and was checking flight prices to the cities. Glad I checked again.

 

glunn's wife is telling your wife as soon as she reads this.

and even 4 or 5 posts of actual game discussion.

 

Wait, what? I missed those.

[glunn]

Back to .500, the march for 81 rolls on.

 

I need 58 more wins for Vegas to owe me $90!

[ashbury]

Does the guy in the official scorer thread have a sense of humour? Maybe I'll ask him about this.

 

He'll bite your freaking head off. So, go for it.

[Guest USAFChief]

Ding ding ding. But, please elaborate. Because we know you can.

 

/ edit: oh, and one style point for the accent aigu.

The style point goes to Bill Gates, not me.

So you don't need new window blinds?

[snepp]

Yes, essential alt codes to remember for forum amusement.

Dough-mitt walks. Now time for a Parmelee bomb. Sanchez at 32 pitches.

 

- ok, I'll settle for the RBI-producing single with the runners moving to 2nd/3rd.

 

Nah, you were just premature.

[snepp]

Nah, you were just premature.

 

That's what s....nevermind.

[ashbury]

Lineups like this inexplicably put up 6-8 runs, further egging on Gardy's afternoon-game-after-a-night-game lineups.

 

Prescient call, Nostradamus.

[Top Gun]

Down goes dem Tigers, Twins needed this one!

[ashbury]

The blond avatar is working today.

 

Did not wish to jinx anything by saying so before, but yes, maybe Diamond has found his good luck charm.

[ashbury]

That's what s....nevermind.

 

"I'm coming!" Tom ej....nevermind.

Good thread, from cliches to win probability to poop jokes and even 4 or 5 posts of actual game discussion.

 

How did those get in there? Where's the moderator?

[snepp]

Where's the moderator?

 

That lazy bum was out walking the dog or something.

13/3 GB/FB ratio for Diamond today. Only one walk. If he keeps throwing strikes and getting grounders (as he did all last year) he's going to be pretty good.

Yep. He appears to be picking up where he left off, and that's as a slightly above average starter. I think we'll all gladly take those kind of performances every fifth day.
