Local Clockwatcher claims he can write a better game thread. At the coffee machine in the break room, handyman Earl tells coworkers that game thread intros have gone down hill in recent years. They weren't as lively as back when he first joined the site. Most of the folk coming through just shrugged it off, and returned to work. "He's always on about something, best to leave him be untilhe gets it out of his system." But Epy-Sue, a recent hire, egged him on. "And i suppose you could perhaps hit better'n Kepler too, eh? That's just swingin' a stick, right?" "Oh sure could, why just lemme at it, i'll..." at which point the Boss leaned through the door. "Breaks over! Everyone Back to Work!" And folk dispersed. But that wasn't the end of it apparently. Our source uncovered this in Earl's trash after hours. Handful o' Things to think about: 1. A's Team made famous by the Fonz, since broke ties with the Italian Peninsula and moved out to the west coast, but took the Colisseum with them, honoring their Latin heritage by keep the Elephant on their logo, in memory of Hannibal's alp adventure. 2. Twins Strangely enough, Twins were once the Senators, who's influence in Roam dwindled as the Colisseum grew in popularity. This matchup has been coming for a long time. 3. The Homer Not just a Simpson any more, he seems intent on getting royalties from his epics. Oh wait, meant the long ball. Been a lot of them. 4. Foul territory. It is like the Twilight Zone, where things can be fielded, the but the batter doesn't get anything from it. 5. The Balk. Chickens don't like to be eaten. Wait for it... 6...

Live from New York, it's Saturday... Tuesday night? I'll have to check with Chief as to when it originally aired.

Woah. Thought i was gonna eat my words there, for a moment.

Grossman? Herrmann? These names seem familiar...

My... I have no idea how people pronounce names sometimes...

I love 3 run rallies with three outs... Or i'm sure i would if i saw one. (a bases clearing almost triple?)

Bunxton... Buntxon... Buntox? Nah. I'll figure it out by the time he does...

ftfy

Ya know, that's not far from where i sat the one time i was at the Coliseum...

I'll let the wisdom of the ages answer this...

Well on the East Coast, it's already 10:30...

Hey look... The game started!

Retired you say? I hope they're Michelin. Their mascot's face has a similar aspect ratio to face on Mad Magazine.

Oh, i get it... This is a serious game. Thread.

What i miss? I seem to have a nad track record of not paying attention to losses...

Glad i did not have to apologize a second time... Thanks for seein' it through to the poultry dessert.

What i miss yesterday? Sorry i let y'all down...

You didn't say "the corresponding move is"... I don't know if that exempts ya from the death stare or not. To be fair, i think the whole team is going to the IL... more specifically, Chicago, as that is where the White Sox play. And with Thorpe, maybe we got a full tank of gas (to go with half a pack of smokes and mirrors... i mean sunglasses) Hit it! Yeah, good luck to Thorpe and LaMonte!

Is that really how blame works? I have much to learn...

Well... In 10 days or so Astudillo could be elligible again.

So... Who's game for another 9 innings?

Wouldn't want to gainsay Chief. It might just be really slow walk.

What i miss?

Littell beat big if Littell is smart. First with the head and then with the heart. That is how it goes, right?
