    I'm on record as NOT approving of Rogers being back out on the mound tonight. Close game be damned.

    Timing. What's the key to comedy?
  6. USAFChief
    Drinking at work is no joke.

    I would have liked to have been there in person to see Willians run first to home. It was entertaining on TV, but I bet live would have been better.

    Insurance run. Nice.

    Sooo, I went to the Tucson symphony last weekend. They were playing Beethoven's Ninth, one of Mrs Chief's favorites. As you might know, there's a long passage in this piece, maybe 15 minutes, during which the double basses have no parts. I noticed that as the orchestra reached this part, the two bassists snuck out the back. I was curious, so I snuck out the side door and followed them. Sure enough, they hustled over to a bar, and were quickly pounding back beers as fast as they could. I was fascinated, so I followed them in and took up a place next to them at the bar. Soon enough, one of them checked his watch and looked startled. "Hey, we need to get back!" he said. "Not to worry," said the other. "I wanted an extra beer or two, so I tied a cord around the last few pages of the conductor's score. It'll take him at least an extra couple minutes to untie it." With that, they each pounded back two more beers in what seemed like two minutes, and then sort of staggered back to their place in the orchestra. I slipped back in, and sat down next to Mrs Chief. She leaned towards me and whispered, "Something is wrong, the conductor is fiddling with the score, and he looks really worried." "Well," I whispered back, "of course he is. It's the bottom of the Ninth, the score is tied, and the bassists are loaded."

    True enough.

    He hits a lot of soft singles to left, directly to a left fielder who is already playing shallow. Runners don't advance more than one base. First to second, rather than first to third. Second to third, rather than second to home. It's baseball. Not all hits are created equal, and Mauer hits a lot of the type that are simply less valuable because of where they're placed.
  12. USAFChief
    I feel the need here to point out that when people point out Mauer's BA w/ RISP, I will point out that not all hits drive in runs. And Mauer is the poster boy for those exact type hits.

    a what? Not familiar with the term.
  14. USAFChief
    yes

    We have a new guy at work, he's half-Indian. We call him Ian.

    Trading Hicks was not one of Ryan's better moments, and it was pretty obvious at the time. He'd be the Twins best player today.

    Big fan of the Whine Line. Hope the sponsors pick it up for another season! Question: Is it the same intern? Or do you get a new one each season? If it's the same intern, he/she must be on the same college plan as I was! Four glorious years at WIllmar State Junior College...Go Warriors!
  18. USAFChief
    Btw...winner. I get one per year. This is the one.
  19. USAFChief
