  1. I thought this looked familiar. We used it as a reference work when I was in school.
  2. I question whether there is true repentance here, but your offering is acceptable. Go in peace.
  3. Are you talking about the people, or...?
  4. Thank you! We needed this tonight.
  5. I'm going to blame the image of dog slobber that I can't get out of my brain.
  6. Yep. In fact, I'll get them out of the way up front: Shoot! There goes the shutout. Shoot! There goes the complete game. Shoot! There goes the win. Shoot! I've fallen and I can't get up.
  7. Shoot! There goes the no-hitter.
  8. OK, I really didn't need a verbal picture of this. Ugh!
  9. Man, the things you'll do for scantily-clad asian ladies.
  10. I think they've hired an intern for this.
  11. Man, you've got guts. I'm not sure I'd take my daughter here if I had one.
  12. "Where every post can lead you astray" "Game threads. Because someone had to say it." "Home of the double entendre"
  13. Is this an actual hint that something is coming, or are you just shamelessly trying to push up page views for the site owners?
  14. I hope it did - might mean we actually got something, if they were more motivated to do a deal than we were.
  15. I don't think Brian was implying that Albers was God; just that God is one who works in strange and mysterious ways. Albers is an example of that. That said, I say ban him for a week - just on general principal. Better yet - make him actually watch the game rather than spending half his time posting on the gamethread.
  16. Yes, but we all know that all families are basically dysfunctional.
  17. As a Twins fan you should be used to anything.
  18. Personally I think we need to stop making these types of value judgments - numbers should not be labelled "right" or "wrong" - every phone number is special in its own unique and wonderful way. With that, I also am out of here - going to the rookie league team just up the road.
  19. One thing it may do is cut down the acting by managers - sometimes they come out to argue, not because they actually think the call was wrong, but for tactical reasons, to break up some momentum or to support a player or to influence a future call, etc.
  20. I'm guessing that Gardy's wife is doing cartwheels right about now.
  21. I concur. Hopefully with the way it is structured, with only 1 challenge each in the first 6 innings, games that are blowouts or not close will not have all 3 used per team. I also like having a trained crew in New York, presumably with rule book in hand, to handle disputed calls. Sometimes umpires on the field do misremember a rule and make a mistake. Doesn't happen often, but...
  22. According to the article, starting next year managers will have a challenge system for video replay similar to what the NFL does. Note particularly that, on disputed plays, the final call will be made be an official in the league offices and not the crew on the field, similar to what the NHL does right now. The only thing off-limits is balls & strikes. MLB expands instant replay in 2014 to include manager video challenges - ESPN http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2013/08/15/mlb-instant-replay-manager-challenges-on-hold/2659555/ Personally, I think eventually balls & strikes too will be subject to more electronic scrutiny. Welcome to the 21st century, MLB.
