Was that like a 30 second ban?

 

Probably seemed like 45 to him.

25 minutes exactly.

 

I filed a formal appeal. To me.

[ashbury]

The Twins scored the exact moment that I saw this. Thank you Olivia -- we bask in your glory.

 

[Bark's Lounge]

OOOOPS. I fear that you may have offended Olivia with that one, my friend. Don't be surprised if a Twin gets hit by lightning now.

 

No lightning strikes tonight compadre. Olivia has arrived. Ziggy Barkdust has been deactivated... thank goodness.

Your appeals process seems to be flawed.

I'm not convinced it was Olivia...Ziggy Barkdust put in an appearance too.

[James]

The good news is, Perkins can't blow this 3 run lead.

[PseudoSABR]

Well, our AAA team is better than the Astros AAA team; 2013 will always have that.

I think that Ziggy needs to sacrifice a sheep or something to make penance to Olivia.

I can see how, to an outsider, it might appear that way, but I assured me I would be fair and impartial to me. It turns out I presented such a good case, I had no choice but to agree with me.

We'll have to wait and see how the Midwest league playoffs go, but hopefully we can make that statement about the Twins' A- team compared to Houston's A- team too.

On the other hand, the Astros have better announcers.

At least it was fair and impartial.

I tried Popeye's for the first time about a month ago in Rockford, IL. It was underwhelming. My brother owned a KFC franchise years ago and I've been a fan since. It's the Colonel for me every time.

I'm sure that you put together a fair case for the prosecution, but in the end even you had to agree that you had built a superior case to find in favor of you.

I'd put Ron Coomer in the mudpit with ANYONE!

[glunn]

Now that Olivia gave us 3 runs, I am wondering if John should switch to the gymnast who looks like she just ate a bag of lemons.

[James]

Someone needs to take some sound clips of Dick and make a rap song out of it. There's certainly enough sound bites of him saying "Hoes."

I've tried Popeyes twice, once I had a basic breast of chicken or something, the other I tried a boneless offering. Neither one impressed me much either way, similar to KFC and others. I did enjoy their side dish of beans and rice, though it was not anything special, just a nice change of pace from other places' choices.

[stringer bell]

Will it be better baseball when Pawtucket plays Rochester? I think so. Houston really is a bad baseball team. The Twins appear to be a step ahead, but that is damning with faint praise.

[ashbury]

Uncertain whether Carnac the Closer Avatar works the same way with Roenicke instead of Perkins, but I think I'd kick myself if I didn't try and something bad happens.

 

/ edit - with regard to Alison Stokke the internet-meme pole vaulter, I am not sure I should tempt fate while the current combo seems to be working

Moderator note: get through bottom of 12th unscathed, then compare Twins/Astros.

Change it! Quick! It's not working!

Done and done.

I would hate to see how many baserunners we would have if it was not working.

The scathing has apparently already commenced. Let's see if the TD interface permits a quick-change artist...

There. Better?

 

/ edit - what's that about the lemons? She seems contemplative. I like that in a pole vaulter.

[James]

Steal Houston's trainer away from them now! That mustache is amazing!

[glunn]

Done and done.

I am not seeing a knife and am hoping that the sheep in that picture is in no danger of getting pregnant.

I hope you didn't just describe your own preferred method of birth control, glunn.
