    Give me Dead Man's Favorite Treat for $200, Alex.

    Thank goodness you're focused on the important stuff. The other posters are talking about some baseball game.

    No offense taken. Even the pros admit that the slow moving pitcher often doesn't get the close calls. And after letting the catcher know to get some giddyup in his teammate, and the pitcher blows him and me off, well, too bad. BTW, I was a top-rated official in the amateur ranks.

    While waiting for our National Anthem and first pitch and instructions that the broadcast is owned exclusively by some clowns in Cooperstown, some thoughts on the pace of play. Rewatched the Sept. 30, 1967, game with the Red Sox and it's amazing how fast the game went. No graphics, no exploding scoreboards, no mascots, yet the viewer knows what's what. So as a fan, fast play is a treat. When I umpired, I know I could do a better job when play didn't drag, as well. (And, it's no secret, the fast-working pitcher got more strikes called from me. Imagine that.) My question: Wouldn't players behind the pitcher want him to work faster, too? Wouldn't coaches be coaching that, as well? (I know I did.) OK, that's two questions.

    "I love winning, man. It's like, better than losing." Not original with me. I think Lincoln said it at Gettysburg.

    I love winning, man. It's like, better than losing.

    So it's 4-2 in the 9th, Perk in for the save, third day in a row? Naw. Gotta be an FSN replay.
  8. Circus Boy
    Please... No one wants to see that image again.
  9. Circus Boy
    What is it with 4-2 leads over these guys?

    Ed-EEE... Ed-EEE... Ed-EEE!

    Come on, Parm. Tie this baby up. ... OK, then, come on Esco, give us the lead. ... Well, it's up to Sam, then, to get this party started. ... Twins Baseball. Gotta love it!
  12. Circus Boy
    Yes.

    Lucy: Oh, Ricky! I thought you didn't love us anymore! Ricky N.: Shut up, Lucy.

    I believe in panicking right away. Saves time.

    Canadian conversion rate.
  16. Circus Boy
    Hate dry spells for runs. We've scored in one inning in the past 20 innings of baseball. No likee.
  17. Circus Boy
    Rumor has it they're not, uh, cousins.
  18. Circus Boy
    Yeah, it's always deer camp at our motels. High livin'.

    Are you sure they were planters?

    Don't forget the World's Biggest Male Pheasant in Huron, S.D. (We don't call it a male pheasant.)

    Hot diggity. When did Correia turn into an out machine?
  22. Circus Boy
    Wow, buddy. I grew up near Pilger (in Lyons, Neb.) and it looks leveled. Never seen a double tornado like that before. Make sure to keep tabs on Auntie Em and Toto.

    I don't mind getting thrashed by 10 runs. It's OK to get dominated by the opposing pitcher. But the way we lost Sunday is heartburn. We lost because we couldn't do simple things in the field, nor could we get that one more hit. We were the better team then. The guys know this, I'm sure. Hoping they take it to the red hose tonight.
  24. Circus Boy
    Shoot. That was a winnable game that we turned in loseable.
  25. Circus Boy
    Here's the crazy thing... I'm at work, and am getting all my game info through the TD game thread. And I have to leave for 10-15 minutes at a time, and after catching up on the posts and commenting once or twice, and it hit me: I have no idea whether we're winning, losing, or rained out. But I do know Chief is going to Arizona, that dozens of people live in South Dakota, and that Gardy and Anderson are practicing voodoo. Sounds about right.
