We need some Aggies humor tonight.

Just another Canadian question. Why a 6:07pm start time? I see 6:10, 7:10, 6:05, 7:05, etc. on a regular basis. Is it their national anthem that makes the start time seem irregular? Just curious.

Sorry to restart the topic but I kind of like Gordon Lightfoot. I think he's Canadian. "Sundown better take care If I've seen you been walking around my back stair" or something like that...

Gross with a BOMB!!!

Jack just said smart a** on tv....He's gonna get fined.

Rainbows and lolli pops. 3 run homers... lame

I saved my thread posts from 91. Here are a few: Lemke you little piece of S*@#^Charlie Liebrandt! I F&^^$^% LOVE YOU!Jack Morris you're a *^$#@^* stud!

Where are the lyrics?

Agreed. 87 and 91 almost made me sick. Note to Moderators for World Series games: Warning points should be turned off.

Can you imagine what these Game Threads would be like for a World Series run? Brings me goose bumps!

Love it! Thank you for the reminder.... Its not the size of the dog but the size of the fight in the dog that matters.

I don't mean to pile on but why Dozier in the #1 hole? He has 29 homers!! Move him back and put some more speed up top...Amazing. Molly knows more than I do though...I'm just a small business owner trying to get by.

The lineup order looks a little crazy to me. I don't like Plouffe in the 4 hole either...Oh well. Too bad Vargas isn't around. I would like to see him at 1st base versus Plouffe. I'm sorry. Maybe I should start a Plouffe Forum Thread. My apologies again.

Maybe my logic is flawed but I read that link and can't believe what I read...If the intent is to provide more offense for the game that idea may make sense. If its to speed up the game I don't think it will work well. What happens if I pitcher starts getting shelled? Can't pull him and the other team has people just running the bases... Crazy talk...Cue R.E.M. song. "It's the end of the world as we know it..."

Ha! I agree. The one to really keep an eye for is when someone says, "to be honest..." So you're saying everything else you've told me before was BS?

Great intro! Loved the GPA comments. Reminded me of the time in High School when I raced home to get the grades that were mailed home that day out of the mailbox before my parents got home...Too late. Mail was already picked up. Walked into the kitchen and on the table were my grades with a personal handwritten note on them from my dad. It was a simple note. Direct and to the point...It read: "with grades like these you seriously should not rule out community college. Look at it this way, half the people you pass in the hall each day in school are doing better than you." (my class rank was 330/678). My kids found those not too long ago. They roared with laughter at Granddads note.

Thats funny!

I wonder what the attendance in Atlanta is tonight? Looks bleak.

Hogs are flying!

AJ the sieve.. Just kidding. He's a great guy.

Don't discount Cuba. It's a real up and comer.

Mauer. 10 big ones for the year! YEAH!

King Ebenezer was there too. Mean dude!

Syria works too...

Great intro Brian. Got me thinking about rare events and golf. About 30 years ago my dad was driving through Iowa on his way to a family reunion. He had some time to kill so he stopped when he saw a sign for an estate sale at an old farm house. The estate sale wasn't supposed to start for another hour but he walked in anyway. While browsing the house he overheard two old ladies talking about a golf ball. One of them said. "it looks like someone signed this golf ball". The other woman said, "who signed it"? The other woman said, "It looks like someone named Babe Ruth". The other lady replied, "wasn't he a baseball player"? The other woman said, "I think so"... So my dad walked over and said, "what are you ladies looking at". They said, "it's a golf ball signed by Babe Ruth. Wasn't he a baseball player"? My dad said, "I think so, how much do you want for it"? They said is $10 ok? He said "ok". The way my dad explained it to me, the worst thing that could happen was he would own a $10 golf ball. He gave it to me when he got home and I held onto it. Fast forward many years (through college, marriage, kids, job transfers, etc.) My wife and I were living in Philadelphia and I was cleaning out some closets. I found the golf ball and decided to find out more about it. Turns out one of the biggest Babe Ruth authenticators was about 20 minutes from my office. I decided to call him and explain what I had. He said to stop by so I did. He looked at it for about two minutes and said it was the real thing. Imagine that! The old man found a real Babe Ruth autographed golf ball. Unfortunately my dad had passed away a few years earlier. He would have gotten a good laugh about that one. Still have it today. It's worth a good amount of money but I keep it more for the memory of my dad more than anything. True story.
