Really suckered them in.

 

And he carried it off so deftly they probably STILL don't know they were suckered.

 

Wow

Carnac: Pixie and Dixie.

Ed: You mean the old Hanna Barbera characters? The ones with Mr. Jinks?

Carnac: We don't know. Haven't read the question yet, have I?

Ed: Correct you are, your Magnificence. The is the true testament to your powers. I would wager that not one person in a million can guess the actual question. No, not one person in one billion. And yet, you, with your monumental...

Carnac: Can it, clown. The Alpo ad is waiting to run, we can't take all night.

Ed: My apologies, o wisest of the wise. Would you please open the envelope?

Carnac: After one too many mojitos at the season closing picnic, what will coach Brunansky call Eduardo Escobar and Josh Willingham?

Wow

 

That is the art of the con.

OK after the season is over.

No one's stopping you from making your own or making a run to the store.

The Twins have scored a run on Fister and Tonkin just got Prince to fly out.

[Winston Smith]

Doumit just got a cookie!

I posted too soon. Doumit is trying to create off-season trade value.

[ashbury]

Carnac: Doug Fister.

Ed: No. No no no.

Carnac: Come on, play along. It'll be fun.

Ed: No.

Carnac: It could be about Doug Bernier. Fisting the ball into short right field.

Ed: Nope. Not falling for it.

Carnac: It could be about Dougie Baseball, punching an opposing minor league manger. That'd be OK, right?

Ed: <pauses> No. I know where this one is going. Nope, nope, nope.

Carnac: <pouts adorably>

Ed: Oh, all right. I never can stay mad at you. Open the envelope.

Carnac: <pauses> Never mind. You were right. And besides, Doug barely knows her.

See, this is frustrating to me.

 

I KNOW this is funny. It has to be. It's Ash.

 

I'm just not bright enough to figure out why.

 

Hey...wait...that's not why it's funny, right?

[Squirrel]

Btw, never got a chance to post this anywhere, but when I was in Ft. Myers not too long ago, one of my Dad's attendants was at that Miracle game and was telling my mom about it. He basically said that the other manager was totally taunting Dougie. Not that that excuses anything, but there was definitely provocation.

[James]

The best thing about my refrigerator right now: It's full of beer.

 

I probably won't get to say that tomorrow if the Twins keep batting this way with runners in scoring position.

I don't think that's the reason.

Gardy hasn't given up on the notion of Duensing being a starter. Dear God...

Yeah, I heard that. As soon as I heard them say that, I thought: "Really? I've given up on that idea."

No, it's probably just not very good. The joke is that Escobear is (I think) the smallest in stature on the team, and the Hammer is from Alabama. I made reference to Mr. Jinks earlier, and it got me to thinking about Pixie and Dixie. And finally, that Bruno likes nicknames that verge on the politically incorrect (which hardly makes him unique but I nevertheless chose him as a foil), as I would assume that both players would go WTF if they actually heard such a comment and just chalk it up to the booze talking. That's all there was.

 

"Do the joke. Get the laugh^*. Move on."

 

^* If any

[Winston Smith]

Duensing, Pelf, Korea, fill in the blank maybe Gibson and Diamond who needs to sign free agent starters?

[James]

Of all the likes I've received on my posts, 85% come from Glunn.

 

Thanks for making me feel valued.

My most hated post of the night, but I still felt compelled to award a Pity Like.

I get it you where watching the Hammer does Pixie and Dixie.

[glunn]

I wonder how things would have turned out if the Twins had matched the Angels' offer for Hunter. Torii is still a pretty good player,

I knew that was an ironic like.

Hoping more from Japan than Korea this time around.

Really fishing for 'em now, aintcha?
