Nice Kipling reference.

4 runs down, 4 innings to go... CBD?

And they seem to be losing rather frequently.

Not even the above sentence?

Concur.

So how are the Gophers doing?

Did we win yet? No?! The horror, the horror!

Okay then.

The canonical response being, well, hardly ever. It is a 1880s thing...

Should i turn 'em back on?

What, never?

A lead? Careful. We are in uncharted teritory...

Wimmers with a goose egg. Follow one first rounder with another...

Of course not, not in an environment such as this...

How many hits and runs? Team winning when he left at least?

He went all Butera on KC. Still down one...

Buxton scores. Life is better.

I am afraid, but strangely curious... How long has it been on that list?

Did Drew Butera just do what i think Gameday said he did?

Patience. Let Molitor pick his points use him. Rome was not built in a day. But i could be wrong...

I ain't complaining. 3 up, 3 down is good enough for me. And can't knock the buddy christ. Miss Carlin, though.

Wow! People read what i write... That could go to one's head. Almost game time...

Sorry i was wrong. I am not familiar with the details. That does sound rather expensive... Do locker rooms give a discount for filling prescriptions? And is there aught i can do to make amends? To reappoint you?

How not to take things too seriously. Never go there. If i you never go to the town Seriously, it stands too reason you wont take anything from or too there. I am ahead of the game. I don't even know where Seriously is. In view of that... Happy mathematical elimination day! I looked at the standings as part of my research for this game thread (dedicated, ain't i?) and Detroit is a half game out of the Wild Card race with 75 wins. We go 88 losses. Season being 162 games, winning out gives us 74 wins. Which doesn't catch the final team not in the play offs. We can get back to playing for the joy of the game and all. Which is really what it is all about. Yeah... we might have already been out of it yesterday. I don't know. The point being, if i can get away with math in a game thread intro, anything is possible. It is even possible i could be wrong about that... Other things i have been wrong about... Polka dots. I always thought they had something to do with the music. I still do, The name. Def Leppard isn't hard of hearing. But i can't spot their spots, so maybe they can change them. Ignominious rock. I never knew what to call it before... What the crocodile has for dinner. Apparently it did not begin with the elephant's child. Thanks to the bi-colored-python-rock-snake. In space, no one can hear you scream... Properly, it should be no one ELSE... Brussels sprouts. I can't seem to find a new brussels anywhere. And this game thread... But i digress... Initial conditions: Royals: 0: Danny Duffy (L) 1. Jarrod Dyson (L) C 2. Paulo Orlando ( R) RF 3.

And by the way, Jinxes have been deactivated for the remainder of the evening. Don't get too carried away... Be home by midnight and all.

Loss is hard to deal with... I suppose i should be grateful for the practice? Anyway, g'night all! Thanks for the comiseration and all!
