Napoli could lasso a midget bull with that necklace

[ashbury]

OMG is that funny... As a kid I'd stare at her on the packaging while eating breakfast. I was convinced that she had eggs for knees.

 

I had a better imagination than you, then.

I was wondering, when Papi is replaced at first by Napoli after a fielder's choice, is the Sox's running game improved or degraded?

[LaBombo]

What tipped you off? Him starting the game at .209?

Yeah, it's not going out on a limb very far, but the real tips were the .182 average over the past week and the .194/.291/.313 line against...wait for it... righties.

 

In the immortal words of Herb Brooks, Parmelee has been "playing worse and worse every day, and right now you're playing like it's next month".

Yes.

[Guest USAFChief]

Trying to be positive here...at least we can't piss away an early lead tonight.

[ashbury]

Yes.

 

And vice versa, I expect.

[ashbury]

Yeah, it looks like it could get late early tonight.

yeah... I'm picky that way... I don't like ladies with Eggs for Knees.

 

that would make her overly fertile.

[Willihammer]

How did Drew sneak that ball through the shift?

[LaBombo]

But only if Dempster does a good job of holding the bull on first...

[Guest USAFChief]

How did Drew sneak that ball through the shift?

Cleanly.

[ashbury]

Is that the hill just west of that town in Polk County?

[Riverbrian]

Hill? The closest thing we have to a hill is a mound of dirt that was built into a small bike jump around Crookston.

[Willihammer]

That pitch. That 1-1 pitch. Should have been a strike.

 

Doumit.

"There was an old lady named Myrtle, lived way up nort' dere by Fertile, She had eggs for knees, despite begging her "please," she never would take off her girdle.

[Riverbrian]

Fertile woman dies in Climax. Urban Legend or True?

[Guest USAFChief]

Yes.

[Willihammer]

 

not that it ended up mattering I guess.

 

Its a good thing we don't have live pitchf/x on FSN. It is painfully clear already how much better a framer Saltalamachia is.

[ashbury]

That's probably the one I was thinking of - I always remember that landmark when driving from Fertile to Climax.

Now you are Photshopping PitchF/X.

[ashbury]

Top of the fourth, and five lead-off singles so far in this game.

[ashbury]

"There was an old lady named Myrtle, lived way up nort' dere by Fertile, She had eggs for knees, despite begging her "please," she never would take off her girdle.

 

Not bad, gave you a pity-like for it.

[Riverbrian]

That's probably the one I was thinking of - I always remember that landmark when driving from Fertile to Climax.

 

I was thinking about scenic locations. I was debating in my mind which was better. Grand Forks or Lake Tahoe?

[Guest USAFChief]

I blame the Willingham walk on Salty's pitch framing.

[Riverbrian]

What does Plouffe and Beloit have in common?

[ashbury]

I blame the Willingham walk on Salty's pitch framing.

 

Who do we blame for Mornie's DP?

[Willihammer]

I blame the Willingham walk on Salty's pitch framing.

 

That's funny because Mauer was running on the pitch

[Willihammer]

What does Plouffe and Beloit have in common?

 

I'll bite, what?

[ashbury]

What does Plouffe and Beloit have in common?

 

If it has to do with Snappers, I'm afraid to ask.
