Send in the clowns.

 

Have you not been watching?

[snepp]

Yeah metric has never caught on in the US, what's with that SABRMETRIC community anyway? You'd think they might find a use for it.

"You and your damned cybermetrics!"

[Squirrel]

I can't believe I still have this game on.

[glunn]

So when do we get to see the baking that jinxed us, ChiTown?

[Guest USAFChief]

Yikes. I hope this wasn't you or I'd really worry about you.

Don't worry about him, the horns are almost unbreakable.

[glunn]

If I were the Twins, I would have the ushers hand out bobbleheads or something to every fan who is sufficiently loyal to still be in the stadium right now.

Maybe I am punchy, but that is hilarious.

So Mrs Chief and I took the dog (Kirby) for a walk, had a nice visit out in the garage, she said she was going up to bed, I said "I think I'll finish the Twins game."

 

She just looked at me and said, sadly, "Why?" More to herself than to me.

 

Damn that woman and her impeccable logic.

I like Mrs. Chief. Smarter than all of us!

Twins may need to bring in Perkins just to get home tonight.

"You and your damned cybermetrics!"

"Someday way in the #@$% future when we all have rocket cars and robot maids like that ugly garbage-truck-looking one in the Jetsons, somebody will make a robot umpire that can actually tell a *%(*^ ball from a %(*&^# strike and put your less-fat-than-mine @ss out of a job. Also, please eject me because I forgot to bring my Nexium to the park."

It's not loyalty - they are just too drunk to find the exits. They will just discover it in the morning and try to remember buying it.

When you can clearly hear individual comments from the "crowd" on the TV broadcast, it's probably time to admit the game hasn't gone real well.

[kydoty]

15 run comeback here we come!

[snepp]

*palm-in-face*

 

 

 

What else can happen tonight?

[glunn]

How many insurance runs do the A's need tonight?

[Squirrel]

Well ... you saw the one; here is the other, peanut butter brownies:

[Squirrel]

Supposed to frost them, but I think I just might melt some chocolate and drizzle it over the top.

I could use a "peanut butter brownie" or two right about now.

Yum, I just snizzled my jizzle.

They look good just the way they are. Now I am tempted to go to the local cupcake automated teller machine.

Be polite when your mother is here.

Sorry Sir.

Day ain't over yet...

Probably sounds far-fetched even for me, but I can imagine a meaningless 9th inning at bat so bad that casual Twins fan Adrian Peterson becomes disoriented, loses his balance, and re-injures his knee.

[Guest USAFChief]

Well played sir. Well played.

[glunn]

Bad night for the Twins, but the game thread made it less unbearable.

Dude, don't even joke about that. How the heck are they supposed to go 7-9 without Petey?

Thank God I'm not having a sensory issue and someone else noticed 'that guy'. Preliminary voice pattern analysis confirms my worst fear: it's the guy who does the voiceover in the Geico 'Hump day' commercial'.

Sorry Sir.

 

Don't apologize to him ... apologize to me!

[gil4]

How many insurance runs do the A's need tonight?

 

Supposedly, someone asked the John D. Rockefeller "How much money is enough?" His alleged answer was, "One more dollar than I have."

 

The A's are using the Rockefeller principle tonight.
