They said I could have the job until they find someone like that.

Pretty tough to survive these threads without razor wit and nerves of steel.

Not unlike Squid Games.

Sort of like being a human cannonball with the circus. You can't let the stress get to you because if you get loaded they'll probably fire you.

Smart play by Farmer.

Just HAD to make it interesting in the 9th….

Razor wire and nerve gas make adequate substitutes.

WHEW!  Chicken is in the fridge and the grills are still buried under snow.  Glad we pulled this one out.

We survived the Twins era from 2011 to 2016 or so  Squid Games would be child's play.

162 - 0 here we come!

Wow, 12 LOB, but an excellent pitching performance all the way around.

Good start to the year, Folks!

I'll supply plenty of gas.

Don't mess with the Jhoan!

Y'all were making pulling teeth comments while I was reading the thread in the dentist waiting room......thanks....

2 hours 32 minutes!

After such a demoralizing loss, I have to think the Royals are reevaluating things. Probably time for a rebuild, and a good chance for the Twins to try to get Witt, Pasquantino and Melendez.

[LaBombo]

Shutout win, 5 scoreless from our new future HoF'er, an injury-free Buxton triple, and a 2.5 hour game under the new rules that gives me enough time to get to the Legion before happy hour ends.  Pretty sweet opening day.

[stringer bell]

Nice to have tomorrow off after using all the back-end guys.

You've demonstrated the nerve to use it many times.

I think you started it early on by saying where you were going today. As they say to Chief on his birthday, if you can't stand the heat don't light the candles.
