  1. Yeah, but the voters can pronounce and spell 'Buxton' so he'll get it.
  2. Buxton simply has another gear when he needs it out there.
  3. That's just another of the unanswerable riddles by Lewis Carroll. Alice In Wonderland was full of them.
  4. "That man could go in Seine too."
  5. That ground ball by Sano had some exit velocity on it.
  6. Or Buxton, but now I'm merely stating the obvious.
  7. Why is the guy with the Vuvuzela always one row away from me?
  8. They should consider pairing one of them with Jim Brockmire. Oh, Daddy, would that be good.
  9. Max Kepler is not a slow human being, but Byron Buxton just made him look like a different species.
  10. Mrs Ash offered the same view regarding Joe and she isn't even watching the game.
  11. Well if he doesn't, someone's going to get called out for batting out of order.
  12. Nice rally! Two runs in. (CBU)
  13. That bar of Ivory Soap rolled up in my shirt sleeve didn't fool anyone, did it.
  14. Somerville, I thought. / which is somewhat like Edina versus Minneapolis, but around here it apparently matters more
  15. Having been privileged to share a meal with both SSOO and Chief at different times, I can confirm that neither one falls for the ruse of my being away for a quick smoke when the check is brought to the table.
  16. He probably didn't have time to write an entire story.
  17. First pitch at 7:10, we're underway. Score's nothing to nothing, and nobody's winning.
  18. Because both are mentioned by the Mad Hatter? That's an easy one.
  19. Game Threader #1: I say we kill him! Game Threader Gang: [shouts] Yeah! Game Threader #2: I say we hang him, then we kill him! Game Threader Gang: [shouts] Yeah! Game Threader #3: I say we scalp him! Game Threader Gang: [shouts] Yeah! Game Threader #4: Then we tattoo him! Game Threader Gang: [shouts] Yeah! Game Threader #4: Then we hang him! Game Threader Gang: [shouts] Yeah! Game Threader #4: And then we kill him! Game Threader Gang: [shouts] Yeah! DaveW: [i say we let him go.] Game Threader Gang: [shouts] No!
  20. Really well conceived and even better executed. Or, the other way around - I can't decide.
  21. His BABIP has been above .400 during the recent stretch Brock mentioned. How much hotter do you expect he'll get? If anything, the BABIP has me tempering my expectations for a while yet. Baby steps for the rest of the first half, at least.
  22. The game log on bb-ref.com shows Dozier's HR added only 12% to the win probability, while Sano's 2-run jack added 18%. Imagine how large the WPA would have been on a 3-run homer, if Dozier would have just gotten on base. Doesn't speak well to his spirit of team play.
  23. Point of information: do teams actually not allow certain fans to come back another time? If so, how do they enforce it? When I pass through Security on Yawkey Way at Red Sox games, and every other ballpark I can recall, at no point is my ID an issue - simply metal objects. (And one time, at Oakland Coliseum, a decorative stone I keep in my pocket was an issue that I was able to talk my way through. Hey, it's Oakland, I immediately understood their concern, although this was baseball not football.) My guess is that they get a restraining order in place, and then if the miscreant gets ejected a second time they have the evidence to really throw the book. But that's not quite the prior-restraint some here seem to be calling for.
