Game Thread: Jays@Twins 9/6 7:10PM

[Guest USAFChief]

I saw a stock tip on Cramer for Amalgamated Buggy Whips at $0.00003. Think I should load up?

Can they pitch?

[Willihammer]

I'm with my dad. My mom and I took him out of rehab facility this evening to take him for a drive. A storm swooped in and it is POURING out; driving visibility was pretty scary but I managed to get back to the rehab place. But it's still POURING and THUNDERstorming so we are unable to get from the car to inside the facility.

Wanna trade spots?

[Guest USAFChief]

Well this game thread sorta fizzled out.

[ashbury]

I went to have dinner, came back here, found that an Astros home game had broken out.

[glunn]

Only the most avid fan could keep watching this game.

Why thank you. My compliments to you as well, Sir.

Fizzled? I say to Hell in a handbasket it went.

Are you still stuck in the car?

[Squirrel]

Are you still stuck in the car?

 

heh ... no ... the rain wasn't letting up so we ended up driving up the extra wide (vehicle wide) walkway under this portico. Was able to get dad and mom out without them getting wet ... but I got a bit wet getting his walker out of the back. But he's there, and we're home. Have been home for a while, but had to do some things around the house for my mom before leaving in the morning.

Carnac: "Peen-toe."

 

Ed: "Peen-toe."

 

long pause

 

Carnac: "Name another way to pronounce pin-toe."

You are the best daughter ever. When I get as old as Chief, I would like to adopt you so that I have someone to take care of me.

lol ... but aren't we about the same age?

[Squirrel]

Hmm ... we got a couple of runs back ... we could have a ballgame yet ...

[glunn]

Maybe, but when we are as old as Chief there will likely be colonies on Mars and Mauer's contract will be expired.

Carnac, have you ever seen Old Yeller?

[Squirrel]

Hmm ... but I will have a condo in Florida by then. (Actually pretty much do now.)

Growing old sucks, but it beats the alternative.

[Squirrel]

Growing old sucks, but it beats the alternative.

My mom has a quote on her frig:

'Don't regret growing old. It's a privelege denied to many.'

[Guest USAFChief]

I'm so old, Mrs Chief asked me the other day to go upstairs with her for a little happy time. I had to tell her to pick one or the other.

[glunn]

Growing old sucks, but it beats the alternative.

 

Amen, brother.

[Guest USAFChief]

To quote Chitown...kee-rap.

[GCTF]

If I had a dollar for every time the Jays announcers mentioned Colabello played eight years of independent ball, I'd have about seven dollars.

 

Also Colabello is a bum again.

[Squirrel]

I'm just too tired to care. I need a vacation from my vacation. I guess going back to work on Monday will suffice.

[glunn]

If only someone had a rally avatar who could win this one!

[Guest USAFChief]

Mrs Chief and I are making the trip east to Las Cruces tomorrow to take in the big UM-NMSU football game. My son is traveling west from Clovis to meet us.

 

I got four tickets for $20. Not bad, considering 2 tickets were $40.

ba-dum-tsssshhh

[glunn]

BOMB from Pinto.

[Squirrel]

How far a drive is that?

[Guest USAFChief]

This Peen-toe guy wants to know what the big deal is about the whole major league thing.

[Willihammer]

That was a bomb. Must have cleared the 411 sign by 25 feet

 

watches replay.

 

ok maybe 10

[Guest USAFChief]

How far a drive is that?

Had to be close to 440 feet.

 

ba-dum-tsshh.
