What happened to Plouffie?

 

thats a good question

[ashbury]

thats a good question

 

Then you owe us some Comedy Gold on that one too.

What happened to Plouffie?

Just read the PP report--calf tightness. Apparently the other calf from the one that bothered Trevor in spring training.

[ashbury]

How y'all like our #2 hitter now?

 

And our RF platoon also comes through in the bottom of the first. Plus, the third-string catcher who shouldn't be up gets a base knock.

Bilateral, you're saying?

[stringer bell]

All of our catchers hit unless they play DH.

[ashbury]

And the inning ends with a Hicks strikeout. Failed to see that coming. Still a crooked number in the first, and Cy Deduno on the mound. Promising beginning.

Gardy had him in the lineup... The training staff administered a pre-game concussion test and got the urine sample mixed up with Terry Ryan's. Gardy got the report and benched him because of elevated levels of hallucinogens.

 

that's Funny cuz... Terry Ryan is on Hallucinogens and the training staff used a urine sample for a concussion test.

[Riverbrian]

OK, I reconsidered and I guess I owe you one.

 

Q: Why are umpires fat?

 

I'll save the corny answer for later in the game after you've delivered the gems we know you're capable of.

 

For out of town restaurant ease:

 

They walk into restaurants and when they hand them a menu... They just hand it back and say yes please.

 

​they will get better

Also funny because you had Gardy as manager, rather than some random potted plant to fill the role.

 

/ wait, I forgot I still like Gardy, mostly

Excellent game thread gentlemen. Our posters and the Twins are all off to a good start!

[ashbury]

Anyone thinking 3 runs is going to be enuf?

[ashbury]

Excellent game thread gentlemen.

 

Gentlemen? Who came in unannounced?

[Riverbrian]

For Positioning Instruction Ease:

 

When the supervisor of umpires review tapes for proper umpire positioning. They are easy to spot with the Goodyear Blimp footage.

maybe they won't get better but I will keep trying.

[jokin]

Can I be the first to say that it would sure be alot of fun having this Brewers team on the schedule for 19 games instead of 4?

[Riverbrian]

Welcome Glunn... Your usual late arrival I see.

[ashbury]

Someone ask RocketPig to implement a Meh button alongside the Like.

Not likely, but Sam might be our ace, who knows.

[ashbury]

I clicked Like but really would prefer to wait a few more innings with a more substantial lead to conclude this.

 

/ especially after the way the top of the second went

Seriously, they should be better, shouldn't they? I know the Twin haven't faced the top of the rotation, but they have three All-Stars--Gomez, Braun, and Segura. Lucroy is a solid catcher. That is a way better core for the Brew Crew.

[Gibby]

Gentlemen? Who came in unannounced?

 

He must be speaking of me.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Well, now I can sleep tonight. I've been lying awake tossing and turning wondering what Dick Bremer and Bert Blyleven put on their hot dogs.

[ashbury]

He must be speaking of me.

 

Bwahahahahahahahahaha... oh, sorry, yes, that must be it.

[glunn]

Gentlemen? Who came in unannounced?

 

We moderators have to be omnipresent to keep up with a handful of troublesome posters.

[ashbury]

Well, now I can sleep tonight. I've been lying awake tossing and turning wondering what Dick Bremer and Bert Blyleven put on their hot dogs.

 

Gotta go eat dinner. I'll be back later on with a dozen or two take-offs on this concept. Meanwhile, go Twins.

[glunn]

Welcome Glunn... Your usual late arrival I see.

 

I am still at my office grinding out work. The two hour time difference only makes it seem like I am late.

[Riverbrian]

Someone ask RocketPig to implement a Meh button alongside the Like.

 

I gotta admit... It would have been easier for all if you would have asked... How fat are umpires?

 

Asking why they are fat... Is hard to do without consulting a physiology textbook.

 

BTW... I took physiology in College cuz I thought there would be naked girls to study.

 

I dropped it real quick when I found out that it was about the immune and respitory system. I had much more success studying girls in my Rock Band.

[Gibby]

Bwahahahahahahahahaha... oh, sorry, yes, that must be it.

 

I'll admit it. That stung a tad.

[Riverbrian]

World Series Selection is based on who has the most chins.

 

The extra padding protects them when they blindly walk into stuff.

 

The Elevators in their Hotels move faster.

 

OK that's all I got... Did any of those work?

[glunn]

The bullpen is probably exhausted after last night. Let's hope that the Dude can go at least 6 inning.
