    I'd like to see Hicks run here.
  2. big dog
    I'm thinking the hitters do not want to lose this game.
  3. big dog
    Thanks for the updates, much appreciated.

    Hey teekz, that guy passed out on your couch is RB, so don't call the cops. He'll leave after his nap.
  5. big dog
    Ricky's at a tidy 97 pitches through 5. Pretty happy to be tied at 3, given this. Even happier that Hicks stung a ball last inning.
  6. big dog
    If you set the over/under at "0", I'll take the the over. Any number bigger than that, I'm not sure.
  7. big dog
    Ricky's high-wire act continues here in the fifth. He's been worse.
  8. big dog
    Ooh, and we can have them throw disco records in a pile in the outfield, and we could blow them up with real dynamite!!! Ah, those were the good old days. Dime beers and dynamite- that could work.

    Rankings like this are interesting, but it's kind of like those "Top Ten Places to Live" rankings. The final evaluation depends on how you define and weight variables, and different surveys by different smart, thoughtful people will find different answers. It's easy to do, mathematically, it's defining the variables and weights that's hard (and arbitrary). Being a GM is a big job, with a lot of things you can control and a lot of things you can't. Dayton Moore's team looks good this year, but this is his 9th year as GM- how should you control for that? Is there an average amount of time to turn things around, so you should beat that? Etc.

    Here we go, Esco, here we go Clap Clap
  11. big dog
    Wow, that was a Great 3-1 pitch to Vargas there.
  12. big dog
    Nice try. How is a "call" different from a "jinx"? I'm a little hazy on the distinction, but I will refrain from calling anything for the rest of the game.

    Good Gibson turned out on top, but Bad Gibson gave him a tussle. Too bad about that tie-breaking run right there. Pretty phenomenal throw by Hicks. Let's get two and Go Home Happy! Then we can eat ice cream.
  14. big dog
    Is it too late to pick "Bad Gibson" in the pool? If they get Swarzak warmed up...grrr...
  15. big dog
    I think we can broadly agree that his stuff looks good until someone gets on base, more often than not. Once that happens things fall apart. Whether it's mental, pitching from the stretch, whatever, that should be a fixable problem. I wish he were better now, but my guess is he will definitely improve.

    Throw in the fact that you made the joke in East Grand Forks, and it reduces the probability quite a bit lower, too. Goltz was from Pelican Rapids or somewhere out there, right?
  17. big dog
    You mean, why toss ping pong balls through them? I say, why not?
  18. big dog
    Good point. He sounded like he had a bad cold or something- his voice sounded shot. Maybe he decided the rain delay was a good reason to go downstairs for a while. I knew I was enjoying this telecast more all of a sudden- big Twins hits, and Steve Stone. It's all good.
  19. big dog
    Thanks. Maybe I'll just bid low early and try to get more people engaged...

    If I win the bidding for the swimming pool in the auction, will someone deliver and install it, or do I have to pick it up?
  22. big dog
    I love hearing Bruno cheer for his guys every time they take a pitch for a ball. They have to like working with him.
  23. big dog
    Geez, Hicks hit a ball hard too, but no hit. I like our chances tonight.
  24. big dog
    Could you at least put the two meatloafs into three pans when you cook them?
  25. big dog
    I am not a fan of Viciedo overall, but man can he hit a ball hard. Here's a thought- May pitches a lot better with the bases empty. He should quit putting runners on. Maybe I'll call the dugout and tell them.
