  1. I think the tarp is coming off...
  2. Hmmm. If it gets rescheduled to a day game tomorrow or the next, How difficult might it be to score tickets... This bares looking into.
  3. It is indeed a good way of making up a 2 run deficit...
  4. I can think of better outcomes. But i admit they might be much much less likely, than the worse outcomes. However this is a road game so i wouldn't count them out yet.
  5. Meh. My recollection of a few hours ago was that it wasn't a solid line, but spots here and there, and could have missed Fenway. But of course weather is smarter than we give it credit for.
  6. If you lose it... Just remember where ya last had it so you can find it again... LL Bean is perhaps mildly more tasteful. Just on every digigtally created on-screen banner. Which was a little tacky when there were more than 2 of them. But it is also printed on the infield tarp, "keeping sox dry since 1912" which is kinda cool.
  7. I stand corrected... (Ninja'd again!)
  8. 12. Paraphernalia. "Nobody knows just what a paraphernalia is. And what is half a pair of scissors... It's a single sciss." -Alan Sherman
  9. The rain delay is brought to you by LL Bean.... At least NESN says so.
  10. Santiago emerges unscathed. From the first inning.
  11. Paranoia... You were all just waiting for my game thread intro, weren't you? The seed what fell on the good soil or something... Anyway, we have lift off! And 3 Twin outs...
  12. I must admit... You are better than me...
  13. An apology: Sorry. This is what i get for waiting until the last second, discussing possibility of catching Thursday's game at Fenway, wading through more reverse rush hour traffic than usual, late to softball... Life is complicated. Belated thoughts: 1. Parables: The wisdom of the ages is in 'em. Never get the third out at third. Don't cross the road if you can't get out of the kitchen. Never groove an 0-2 pitch. A penny saved is worth two in the bush. Always back up your thesis. People in glass houses should sink ships. Oh right. These are proverbs. That's what i get for running late. 2. Parabolas. What goes up must come down. Trajectory and all. That's what makes it easier for outfielders to field them flies. 3. Paradoxes. Well it made sense at the time... 4. Paragon. I infer from context it must be something good. Like maybe Buxton is a paragon of fielding? 5. Pair of people. Oh, i guess i mean the Twins. Yeah, think about them.
  14. Looking at radar, we got a good hour or more before anything else hits...
  15. Looking out the window, should be good to go again. Radar can see further (or farther?) than me.
  16. Not looking at a radar, yeah, i figure it too will pass... Down to a mild drizzle cross the river so i left the car and am now in the pub, nursing a Canada Dry..
  17. At present, i am hunkering in my car waiting for the rain to subside. They called the softball game an inning early due to this nimbostratus bearing down on us. The multiple flashes of lightning in the distance didn't help much either.
  18. At first glance, i thought you were referring to my game thread intro... I was thinking of claiming i got Ninja'd and i don't even know who by. That's how come it is capitalized...

Deven Marrero ® 3B Gametime Forecast: 68°F • Drizzle • 28% PoP From weather.gov: A chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 11pm.

Chance of precipitation is 40%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
  20. If bunting were just wasting an out, it would seem to me the Twins are superlative at it. So perhaps they are too good?
  21. Playing tuba. But just ordinary rehearsal. Where we get donuts and coffee at break, and i get to catch up score. I am but one of three tubaists...
  22. I apologize that i must run off to rehearsal. And just as the game is about to start. Hopefully some of the young whippersnappers will still be awake commenting by the time i get out of rehearsal and find a tv to plant myself in front of...
