Today's crappy joke:

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks "Is this stool taken?"

Grooaaan!

[SwainZag]

Pablo is cruising.  Pitching is so much easier when you constantly get ahead in the count.

[Mike Sixel]

There is a 7 11 one minute walk from here. I could go buy a ticket but it's nearly 100 out there

[jkcarew]

Don’t like Castro getting all base steely with one out and Gallo batting. Wait to see which of the three outcomes happen…and attempt with 2 out if you get the bad one.

So the old setup and punchline delivery

You were ninja’d by @Schmoeman5

Not really.  I was worried about your ability to pay the tab for those blizzards, not the blizzards themselves!

A horse walks into a bar. “Bartender, scotch on the rocks, please!” he says.

“Did you just talk?” says the bartender, blinking his eyes in bewilderment.

“Yes, why?” responded the horse.

“It’s simply fantastic! I’ve never seen a horse that talks! You should definitely go talk to the local circus; they would love to have someone with your abilities!”

The horse replied, “Why? Are they short on electricians?”

Lopez dealing that inning

Was working on an immaculate inning after the first two batters.

He looks like he could go deep in this game.

He wasn't stealing on the pick off. It was a good move by Marsh and Castro was sleeping just a bit.

So, did the horse ever get his scotch?!?!?!?

There’s a 7-11 less than half mile from here and an hour to get a couple … do I run out now and get a pair?

You can get a pair at 7 11? Who knew?

 It was like when my Dad and I would go fishing while I was growing up, we would be on the lake, in the same spot for 4 hours, baking in the heat, with no bites, about to leave, and then he would get one small bite from a  fish and we'd stay for another 4 hours.... with no fish in the boat at the end. 

You could probably find some help with that in therapy. Your dad couldn't help it that he was bad at fishing.

Why are players allowed to wear such huge sliding mitts that are obviously way longer than their hands?

Got picked off while NOT looking to steel, you say?

Then he was in full REM.

Wilburrrrrrr

[SwainZag]

Marsh has a quick move, but come on boys.  2 picked off in 2 innings?

[cHawk]

Just now, wsnydes said:

He says, "You tell me."

[Mike Sixel]

Maybe don't get picked off?

[wsnydes]

So, Wilbur got his scotch?

Forget it, I'll just order my own.

[NotAboutWinning]

That is a funky approach to pick offs that KC is using!

[ziggy]

Mr Ed was asking for a scotch on the rocks.
