There’s a reason the mushroom always gets invited to parties. He’s a fun gi.

Grammer is the enemy of puns. What do you do when the two meanings function differently? On fungi are plural fun guy is singular.

These disconnects.... makes me sad.

Interesting trivia: there are more Catholic Churches in Las Vegas than casinos. 

But it is Las Vegas, and donation plates in all these Churches often include casino chips along with the cash.

This presents an issue, of course, since these chips aren't spendable outside of the specific casino they came from.

The Churches, along with a Franciscan Monestary in suburban Henderson, developed a plan to redeem these chips. The Monestary collects all the chips once a week, sorts them, and in return for a "vig" (a percentage), cashes these chips in at the various casinos around town. They then give the cash, minus the vig, back to the Churches.

Only certain, senior members of the Monestary are trusted with this duty. 

Collectively  they're known as the chip monks.

I don’t think Lee will ever grade out as having plus range, but Correa probably doesn’t either. Correa makes up for lack of foot speed with a big body and long reach and taking great angles to balls. 

I think Correa has better instincts to get to the ball.

Had to go a long way for that…… but it paid off in the end.

[mnfireman]

@Linus I see your thumbs down and I LMMFAO!!!

[cHawk]

The cameraman made me think that was a home run.

[Aggies7]

Camera guy had that one fair by about 50 feet

[Doctor Gast]

Whoa! I thought that was gone

Not so sure. The characters needing typing-to-funny ratio is questionable. 

[USAFChief]

Feels like we might not want to give up any more runs

Cool. I’m glad you got a kick out of it. Lee is as advertised from scouting reports: soft hands with a strong arm but not enough lateral quickness to be a big league SS. 

[Aggies7]

Remember when pitchers used to never throw strikes on 0-2 counts

Correa still doesn't get that ball up the middle either....

[Aggies7]

Oh thank goodness the home run vest hasn’t been retired. I’m so happy to know that, I can sleep well tonight with that information

We just disagree. The ball was beat into the dirt in front of home plate and bounced twice more.

"Vere did you get da money for da bike? Dat musta cost $500," he asked.

"It was easy, Dad," little Lars replied. "I earned it hiking."

"Come on Lars," Ole said. "Tell me da truth."

"Dat is da truth Dad!" Lars replied.

Some of the Casinos have free fruit by their chip exchange booths, and those casinos, geared as they are to notice patterns quickly picked up on the fact that these monks only ate bananas,.. Not only that, but rarely left any behind.

 

If you listen carefully, you can hear fruit venders complain about all banana chip monks.
