    This has been your Circus Boy Update, folks. I think the upshot is it's still 0-0 in the second.

    Count yourself lucky. I forgot to give my local forecast which is: snow. Snow now, snow tomorrow, probably snow Friday. Actually shouldn't be much, no more than a foot all told, it sounds like.
  3. ashbury
    I gave up on that at 26.

    And... and...? "... This has been a Circus Boy Update."
  5. ashbury
    So many young women actually believe this to be true.

    I hope Obi-Wan Brock checks in again, because he's our only hope!

    Wealthy beyond the dreams of Croesus.

    Nope, don't mind at all. Do you mind if I don't tell you?

    Hi Platoon. Hi, my name is Ashburyjohn and I am a pain in the ass and also a TD moderator but now I repeat myself.

    Yes! Let's all inundate Riverbrian with highly technical questions!

    Timely entrance.

    Vuja de: the eerie sense you've never seen this situation before in any past life ever.
  14. ashbury
    Apology accepted wholeheartedly. I'm more than willing to move on and forward. / also, for the benefit of those relatively new, it's nowhere near as bad as all that and Bark's a TD member in good standing, but my mama taught me not to contradict people if I can help it
  15. ashbury
    Keeping up with the Cardassians, I see.
  16. ashbury
    Terry Ryan = TR = Teddy Roosevelt. Bully!
  17. ashbury
    Definitely not. Wasn't sure what you meant about not being able to post your own pictures. I'm not sure what limit you have hit in your account, but you might try going to your Gallery area and delete a large GIF or two and see if that enables you to upload new pictures. Or, ask Brock for technical assistance. I know I'd hate to be unable to upload a picture to a game thread, once every few weeks or so.

    No TC logo on Teddy's hat?
  19. ashbury
    Different take, same theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h47fNaOb-JU

    I noticed one!

    A scouting report from 2011: "He has easy infield actions with good hands and range, but despite his pitching background, his arm strength is just average and may not be enough for him to be an everyday shortstop." http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/rankings/organization-top-10-prospects/2011/2611192.html Things could have changed of course, but the arm may be why he's not gotten many minor league reps at third base, and thus hampers his ability to make any club as a true utility infielder, especially with a marginal bat even for that role. I hate to sound so down on him. He "deserves" by hard work to get some time in the majors. But the competition for that role is so fierce. And so... not very important to a team's rebuilding strategy.
  22. ashbury
    Or, if they're still on the horizon, it's still not quite the time yet.
  23. ashbury
    I'm sure the young man will be polite in the face of multiple mispronunciations. But I'm also sure he's going to get damn tired of all the Who's On First jokes.
  24. ashbury
    I'll have what Paul's having, but half as much.

    For what little it's worth, my daughter got fluent in Mandarin in college plus travel, and she got back to me quickly when I emailed her today. The suggestion she gave was that it might be close to the short I in "chimney". Between that and your suggestion, I can kind of hear what I think I've overheard in conversation, a vowel sound that is kind of incomplete to an English speaker's ears and tough to replicate with any similar word. The rendering as "Chih" might actually be as good a guide as there is. Certainly my "Chee" would sound crude and uneducated to him. It seems there is general agreement on the second half of his name as "Way". But I had a colleague some time ago whose name was simply Wei, and he assured me you could pronounce it wrongly and have it mean something else three different ways simply by rising or descending tone, and I believe him.
