  1. (Go Pinto!) I enjoy watching Pinto bat. For some reason he makes me think of a Kurosawa movie... Not entirely sure which one or why.
  2. You were right. But at least he wouldn't have made anyone hold their breath very long. First pitch grounded out to short...
  3. Hey, Hicks is on. Can we do something with it?
  4. Sorry, i'm slow... Are the Giants playin' the shift on Kubel? Maybe it's time to lay that bunt down the 3rd base line.
  5. Is that with or without holding your breath? I don't think Kubel comes up again 'til the next inning...
  6. Perhaps he could swing the dummy... All joking aside, he could still connect. Plenty of baseball left tonight.
  7. That's 2 games in a row, and 2 of the last 3 hits. Maybe he's improving?
  8. Ah, I'm still proud of "My Feet Hurt." It was inspired by the song Tai Kwan Leap. Alas, i haven't been able to find a publisher for this new baseball novel. I think i'll have to rework somewhat if it is to be appreciated by the general public...
  9. Oh, i learned to jump off before the end in those instances... But your lesson is good to learn too. And i was always envious of Mary Poppins' ability to slide up too.
  10. I'm lookin' forward to seein' that hit! And i'm a big fan of banisters. An actual slide is cool, but almost feels like cheating...
  11. Ah, the way baseball is supposed to be watched... What a novel idea!
  12. Ah, it's the teams that lose... That had not occurred to us, dude. Thanks all for the company!
  13. Does that mean we're winning? (Too lazy to go back to the beginning of the thread.)
  14. Yeah, we should string some hits together... Make us some organic molecules... Or maybe hit 'em where they ain't.
  15. Yup. That one. Someplace down town (SF Opera House?) was performing it, and folk could watch a simultaneous telecast on the big screen in center field for free. Can't say i'm particularly well versed in opera*, though when they got to that song, it did sound familiar. So i guess tragedy in AT&T (i want to say ATAT) field isn't foreign to my experience... *-unless you count Gilbert and Sullivan...
  16. I've actually been there once (i've been to 5 major league ball parks) while visiting friends. We watched Rigaletto.
  17. Did i just see what i thought i saw?
  18. Autocomplete? Some people are so good at it they don't even need a computer to do it for them... (And we got 2 on, so maybe we can get something back. I hope...)
  19. I don't know... "Play ball" is traditional. I bet i could come up with worse. Both to the game and the game thread...
  20. I finally remembered enough to track it down... "not" sounds like "what" if you don't pay to close attention. Otherwise, i guess it doesn't sound so close. But here it is: ... I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are ... Judy blue eyes, Crosby Stills Nash and Young (and thanks to google search...) If only i knew my music better, i'd have figured it out quicker.
  21. When i read it, i was tryin' to come up with ways that it would lower: sacrifices, or ways to reach base sans PA (hit by pitch, or interference) and then get erased by double play, picked off, or caught stealing. But yeah, in context i think it was just to get a reasonable lower bound. Otherwise, i went lookin' back at Carlos Silva's 2005 9 walk season, but there wasn't more than a 4 game gap between walks there that i saw...
  22. That sounds like song lyrics, or at least almost... I bet it's gonna keep me up tryin' to figure out what the song is that they aren't quite the lyrics to...
  23. Thanks! I think i take too many called strikes. That, and i can't catch up to the fastballs...
  24. I did not know that. Does that mean vegetables might taste better on the ceiling?
