Will there be fries at intermission?

 

Thats the Grand Forks Symphony Orchestra!!!

 

Audience is in shorts and tank tops and we grill barbecue inside while the concert is going on. Served with French Fries...

 

Nobody sits in their seats... They all stand around the barbecue pit... Plates in hand... Telling each other dirty jokes while they play on.

 

Eventually it gets so Smoky that you can't see the Orchestra and eventually we just ask them to stop.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Just proof that yes, Chicago has a symphony.

 

Unlike Minneapolis, from whence I come.

They say you go to a baseball game, you'll see something you never saw before.

 

That was...awesome.

[IdahoPilgrim]

So was that "professional courtesy"? Why didn't Doumit flatten him the first time?

[Riverbrian]

They say you go to a baseball game, you'll see something you never saw before.

 

That was...awesome.

 

yeah... But watch the papers... Doumit didn't look exactly healthy.

[greengoblinrulz]

oh oh, Drew Butera may be picking up his cell phone any second!!!!

Yup. I love how the ump just stood there making no sign at all. Then someone realizes (bench, Plouffe?) that he didn't make the safe sign. Fun stuff.

 

At least it saved 30 posts berating Doumit for missing the plate.

[IdahoPilgrim]

yeah... But watch the papers... Doumit didn't look exactly healthy.

 

The good news is Butera is off the minor-league DL and is ready to go again.

[GCTF]

Oh noes!!!! They've given up the DH..

 

What now??

[IdahoPilgrim]

Oh noes!!!! They've given up the DH..

 

What now??

 

If we lose, that will be the excuse used.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Boy, DP's don't get easier (or sweeter) than that.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Boy, we just can't do this the easy way today, can we?

[greengoblinrulz]

Please....2 run HR to give us a 15 inning game

[Riverbrian]

Boy, DP's don't get easier (or sweeter) than that.

 

Oops Sorry

 

big dp

[Riverbrian]

Please....2 run HR to give us a 15 inning game

 

I haven't thought of banning anyone yet... But if that happens. There will be no explanation necessary.

[Guest USAFChief]

oh oh, Drew Butera may be picking up his cell phone any second!!!!

Yes, but has there been a rental car reservation made in his name?

 

That's the tipoff we're looking for.

[GCTF]

Weiner.

[Squirrel]

that actually is a very, very sad tale. I was with the symphony for 9 yrs and still have many friends there.

[Guest USAFChief]

winnah!

[Riverbrian]

Well Pedro can return his rented Chevy Cruse to Louisville.. . Hermann or Butera can just take the Fob from him when he returns and drive off to Miami.

[ashbury]

Wow, I did not realize that it meant that.

 

Some people make it a hobby to punk the Urban Dictionary. This one looks like such a case.

[ashbury]

Love mayonnaise on my burgers ... and on my fries!

 

*shudder*

[ashbury]

Oh noes!!!! They've given up the DH..

 

What now??

 

Now Gardy's gotta do some managin'.

[ashbury]

The good news is Butera is off the minor-league DL and is ready to go again.

 

The bad news is, he's ready to go to Minneapolis.

[GCTF]

Nope.

In the postgame, Timmy (no surprise here as a former catcher) laid some of the blame for Doumit's poor baserunning execution and subsequent injury on Plouffe for not giving Dooms the "slide" signal. Yet another FSN guy who gets, and reads the memo on the priority list for who gets thrown under the bus.

[Riverbrian]

Random Thought:

 

To hell with Simon and Garfunkel... Yeah... I said it...

 

Whenever I cook and have to use spices... I spend the rest of the afternoon singing "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme".

 

All afternoon stuck in my head,.. That line over and over... Paul Simon's fault.

[twinsnorth49]

Hey... Someone had to educate him! It's not like the University Of Moose Jaw is gonna get it done.

 

Getting closer, keep trying.

[jokin]

The good news is Butera is off the minor-league DL and is ready to go again.

 

And by "good news" and "ready to go again", you of course mean that SOS is firmly back in his hitting comfort zone groove, what with him sporting his current .179 AAA BA and all.

 

It's comforting to know that Gardy will sleep well tonight knowing that Drew's sub-Mendoza self can be on a plane to Miami tonight and won't have to be driving cross-country in a sub-compact Rent-A-Wreck like peons like Hernandez had to endure.

You haven't lived until you've had beer out of an ashtray.

 

Or a cigarette from a beer bottle.
