I guess Parm wasn't thinking fastball?

[glunn]

Not one to tell you how to do your job, Glorm, but this seems to be just asking for a ban, no?

 

It is indeed asking for a ban, but then he could ban me back.

[glunn]

OK, I am outa here -- will be back after I pick up dinner.

Or Unban myself and here we go around round round.

Menu?

[Guest USAFChief]

Menu?

Yes, please.

[Riverbrian]

Hey Chief... Now that Glorm is gone... I can safely post this:

 

Wolves trade 1st round pick Trey Burke to Utah for two additional first rounders at #14 and #21.

 

#14 was used to Pick something called Shabazz.

[Bark's Lounge]

#14 was used to Pick something called Shabazz.

 

That's the best generic soda pop out there. I think the T-Wolves made out well.

[snepp]

I thought it was the latest workout fad?

[drunksam]

I thought she was an Iranian pop star.

I don't know what it is but its my new nickname for Chief.

[Riverbrian]

Hammer hustle just isn't enough.

[Riverbrian]

7th innings... Jeez... All year long.

[jorgenswest]

Much of Willingham's perceived value comes from OBP and walks. Evidence that not all walks are the same. Slow guys with a lot of walks are not nearly as valuable as average runners with walks. The OPS calculates the same either way.

 

There is no reason to give Willingham anything to hit with two outs. The only way he is going to score is with a Morneau home run. How often does that happen?

Twins starter finishes 7. Now what?

[Riverbrian]

I don't know... Nothing to compare it to.

[drunksam]

Bullpen picks up knitting to make caps for next seasons home opener.

[GCTF]

Thrice

 

Not once, not twice, but thrice. If I tug on the bill of my cap it means the signal is a fake but I can cancel that by dusting my hands thusly.

My Butt is the indicator.

As long as it keeps them out of trouble.

[GCTF]

What do you call someone who tries to tag a baserunner with an empty glove?

Bullwinkle: Hey Rocky... Watch me pull a rabbit out my hat... Nothing up my sleeve... Presto... (Lion head comes out of the hat and roars).

 

Bullwinkle: Oops... No doubt about it... I gotta get a new hat!!!

Leading to a lot of KC fans shouting "Moose! Poops!" at their TV.
