  1. We know he's still willing to mix it up if there's a bench-clearing brawl...
  2. Despite the reservations he had, Dozier followed the training staff's new warmup routine to the letter... http://www.inforum.com/media/full/jpg/2013/04/16/0417-s-dozier.jpg
  3. Pitch to contact with the catcher's mitt after the ball passes through the strike zone in such a way that the hitter swings and misses it or doesn't swing and the pitch is called a strike? Eh. Too complicated. Just keep letting 'em beat the bejesus outta the ball. They'll hit it right to someone eventually...
  4. The complete absence of the ability to miss bats was the dead giveaway.
  5. The Ullger part or the neck hair part?
  6. Good God. There's a good chance that quite a few game thread people... well, ok... me... are 'at risk' people healthwise, and you're going dessert porn on us? Eee-eevil woman!
  7. By making MacBeth the starter when they trade Cassel to the Patriots for a still-goofy but resurgent Gronkowski after unknown assailants who probably have no connection to Aaron Hernandez mess up Brady coincidentally after he fails to testify at the Personal Foul trial?
  8. 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'. http://25.media.tumblr.com/78a7112c0328aa7ee48d4ca6fb727471/tumblr_mr444mETs81rl7l97o1_400.gif
  9. Day ain't over yet... http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/13322/_1243554681.jpg 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.
  10. "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."
  11. It's an exception to the standard english-to-metric conversion rule, which is to "double it, and add 30". If you're interested in learning more about it, there's an educational album by acclaimed Canadian educators Bob and Doug McKenzie: http://www.sctvguide.ca/episodes/images/gwn.jpg
  12. Woot! And just in time for the rally! Doug Bernier has entered the game! http://cdn2.www.babble.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/release-the-kraken-2.jpg What's the record for biggest deficit overcome in a game?
  13. Did Gardy get ejected, or spontaneously combust? If it's the former, he's one closer to breaking Earl Weaver's career AL ejection mark of 98.
  14. By coincidence, just before I read that I reconsidered and decided I'd lobby for blaming the jinx on the joker who applauded Pelfrey's ERA briefly going below 5 in the first inning tonight. Unless you were the joker who wrote it, in which case I'm nominating it for Most Presciently Ironic Post of the Year.
  15. Normally I wouldn't talk about getting rid of a pitcher during a bad outing any more than I'd want to debate climate change because it's a hot day. But Pelfrey pretty much melted both his polar icecaps tonight, I think.
  16. Another reason to be glad the metric system never caught on here.
  17. That's not even the worst part. While you were gone we agreed to blame you for this mess because your baking break jinxed it.
  18. I'm thinking about getting smattered after a couple more innings of this...
  19. It's like Steve Martin's nose in Roxanne. Once you see it you can't look away. http://img.youtube.com/vi/h3VZ6IRrVlI/0.jpg
  20. It's nice that he's pitched well enough tonight to lower it that much, but let's see if he can sustain that kind of success for a few more outings before we get too excited...
  21. http://img.izismile.com/img/img5/20120426/1000/sometimes_you_win_sometimes_you_lose_09.gif
  22. http://www.hotflick.net/flicks/2007_No_Country_for_Old_Men/007COM_Tommy_Lee_Jones_002.jpgWendell: It's a mess, ain't it, sheriff? Ed Tom: If it ain't, it'll do till the mess gets here.
  23. Technically, it was called on account of the ten run rule...
  24. He feels my pain. And yes, the Leinie's, not the game.
  25. Right about now it's looking like time to reinsert Gardy and 'Mr. Anderson' back into the matrix and find some replacements...
