There's no conspiracy working here. When the next thread is ready to go up the previous one is moved.

I'll eat my chicken dinnah tomorrah.

Heh ... reminds me of a Reggie Jackson story. Don't remember when it was, but it was against the Twins; and I don't remember if he was trying to steal or was just running to second for a double, or what. But what I do remember was him reaching 2nd after sliding head first and after the play rolling over in fetal position holding his 'man parts,' rocking back and forth. He must've clipped the bag somehow, but something got him 'there.' Reggie being Reggie, so beloved as he was, many in the stands were laughing.

What do you do for that ... a lot of ice?

He probably WAS wearing a cup. It just wasn't enough on something hit that hard coming straight at him.

True story. I was in München during Oktoberfest several years ago. I wasn't there for Oktoberfest but for work and had about 2 hours of free time in total to ... see the city ... so I didn't go. It wasn't exactly close to where I staying or working and is just large and crowded. So, instead, I walked over to the Hofbräuhaus, another Munich institution for a beer and whatever. I don't regret not actually going to Oktoberfest as it truly is just one, large beer garden. Another true story. Another work trip took me to Berlin. We had a day off so some friends/colleagues of mine and I rented a car (a Mercedes, of course, 6-speed manual, don't remember what series) and drove to Dresden. I was behind the wheel driving, on the autobahn, when one of my friends said, "Let's see how fast this will go." He wanted to take a picture of the speedometer, which we switched to mph for this 'experiment,' to send to his brother who was a State Tropper in California. So as I'm gaining speed, he says, "Just push the pedal to the floor," so I did. We topped off at 131mph. There were some cars on the road ahead and they were just coming up too quickly so I slowed down. But because I was only going 85-90mph I need to get out of the left lane. Checked in my rearview mirror, all clear, put my signal on and started to switch lanes when "ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" A car that wasn't there two seconds ago, sped past me on the right. That was it for me. When we get to an Italian themed thread I'll tell you about driving in Italy.

Geez, and there goes Joe swinging at the first pitch again. /snark

Those weren't errors? Huh!

Curious if they've added roasted tofu to their selections?

Those runs are unearned, yes?

This is why good pitchers don't want to come here. Just awful. I'm really, really soured on Dozier this year.

****. I blame Dozier, twice, for that.

It wasn't so much a question as a statement of gasping wonder.

Wow, mine too! And NE MN, too! What are the odds!

That was never my claim, so it's already rested.

Geez, damn it. Sigh.

And the little score box has the Red Sox in red and the Twins in blue, making things a bit confusing to a 90-yr old with dementia.

I'm pretty sure his editor doesn't really consider the situation a mentor/mentee thing. It's more of a punctuation matters thing. http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/lotrminecraftmod/images/9/97/Why-punctuation-matters-meme.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150311234719 I think the editor tries to keep things in as much of a natural state as possible, so the purity of Brian can be well experienced. But every once in a while punctuation does matter.

Heh ... I thought the whole gift bag discussion from the other night clarified things.

Well, crap. Am I going to want to watch this?

Jeter retired last year.

I don't like farewell tour stuff. i just think it's wrong.
