Yo two sure are adding a lot of colour to this game thread.

That's what makes us the favourites around here!

Something something, neighbour, something something.

[glunn]

True. But Glorm is the type of guy who'd be honoured to help.

 

I am a strong believer in random acts of kindness.

It's what good neighbours do.

 

EDIT: see's cairo's post, hangs head in shame

Chief... Turn the TV off for a sec... Here comes the bunt.

You forgot 'eh?' at the end of that

[glunn]

Hicks should bunt here?

[glunn]

What is the point of squaring off to bunt before the pitcher even starts his motion?

[Guest USAFChief]

Chief... Turn the TV off for a sec... Here comes the bunt.

Kinda pointless if you're just gonna tell me what I would see, no?

[Riverbrian]

Hicks should bunt here?

 

As long as Florimon doesn't choke... They should.

[Squirrel]

Chief and Glorm - are you guys originally from MN? Just wondering how you came to be Twins fans if not.

[Willihammer]

Twins baseball

Its a straight sacrifice... No point trying to hide it. Square... Set yourself and drop it down.

[Squirrel]

bah!

[Guest USAFChief]

Chief and Glorm - are you guys originally from MN? Just wondering how you came to be Twins fans if not.

In my case, yes. Born and raised in west central MN.

[Bark's Lounge]

That sounds like a bad neighbourhood.

[Riverbrian]

Good deal on a car

 

[Squirrel]

That sounds like a bad neighborhood.

I think you mean neighbourhood

I became a fan watching the 1965 World Series. I grew up in Memphis, but there was a radio station in Iowa that allowed me to listen to the Twins night games. I did not get to see the Twins live until law school, which allowed me to see them at Fenway.

Oh, it was tough, allright. You had your gangs with their colors and everything. "DeKalb" vs "Pioneer" is the stuff of TV movies.

[glunn]

Why not keep the defense guessing, at least until the pitcher begins his motion?

[CairoCrown]

Of course you're gonna strike out swinging the pitch after a ball is pitched 5 feet wide.

[Gibby]

Haven't seen a catcher pirouette in a while.

[Bark's Lounge]

I think you mean neighbourhood

Fixed it.

[CairoCrown]

Haven't seen a catcher pirouette in a while.

"But dad, I don't wanna play baseball. I just want to danse!"

[Riverbrian]

Why not keep the defense guessing, at least until the pitcher begins his motion?

 

Because... It leaves less time to get yourself set.

 

It can be done... But... In that situation... If Hicks fails because he was late to square. Hicks will be in the dog house.

 

Gardy... Wants the bunt down... The infield was already in... Nothing to fool any one with.

[Squirrel]

Well, since Snepp has assured us of a win tonight I'm going to bed. G'night all!

[CairoCrown]

ChiTown, I imagine the people that make up an orchestra are pretty diverse. How many at your job would you say are baseball fans?

[buckninetyone]

i can never invite anyone to my outdoor side-by-side bathtubs without it seeming sexual anymore.
