Man, when are they going to pull Milone?

Oy ... right ... heh ... okay, yes, change that to 3 of 4.

Hey, Game-Threaders ... how's it going? It's a beautiful day today in Chicago so haven't decided yet how I'll spend it. I've already played tennis this morning and I'd like to get out on my bike this aft, so we'll see. It was a nice win yesterday, so it's tempting to stay in and watch the game today. We took the Rangers for 2 of 3 up north, so it would be a nice to take them for 2 of 3 down south with a win today. And it would be a nice finish to this first part of the season, before the All-Star break. But let's see what we have before counting the chicken before the dinnah ... Frankly, Milone vs Griffin ... at this point it's anyone's guess. Tommy did well in his last start, but, he's Tommy. And Griffin, after starting out the season well, hit the DL and has been shaky since his return. So, we'll just have to see. And since lineups aren't out yet, I have nothing to say on that. Rosario had a great game last night, so hopefully we'll see him out there again today ... 'riding the hot hand' as they say. Since I'm tired of thinking, I'll let you all provide some thoughts for today, baseball related or not, your choice. I only ask for peaceful respect of one another throughout the day. It's easy to let frustration and disagreement override peaceful sensitivities but don't. Thanks.

The breakfast buffets in European hotels have these best meats and cheeses ... omg ...

Depends on how you do it ... fry up a slice with a pineapple ring and some brown sugar. But I still don't like it.

Once a swamp, always a swamp.

The arrest would be for the pain and suffering you caused the rest of us.

I'm with you on that one.

Is it affiliated with a ML team? Or is it independent?

How much Velveeta? A whole box?

I can envision a small group of us taking the Empire Builder out that way one day ... it'll be the Twins train!

Well, since they're in Texas, and stars is the theme, and Texas is the Lone-Star State ... during the 7th inning stretch ... or at some point, I can't remember ... the crowd sings 'Deep in the Heart of Texas.' It's their thing, like singing 'Lights' out in SF at ATT Park there. Anyway ... the first line of 'Deep in the Heart of Texas' is ... 'The stars at night, are big and bright ...' It'll be a starry, starry night tonight.

You should go berry picking! Go hiking somewhere ... find some blackberries growing in the wild ... go picking ... but be careful of the little thorns. Or better yet ... if Craig comes out and freeloads ... make him go pick the berries!

Okay ... I want that mac n cheese recipe. Post it. Yay! for sliced bread! I'm horrible at slicing bread ... it is NEVER even ... so I'm very happy for automated sliced bread! Not in Florida with my Dad. Next month. And I'll take him for a walk. He can't walk too far at any one time, though, even with his walker. But from the car into the ice cream place and back is usually good. Hmm ... strawberry sundae day? I have fresh strawberries ... I have vanilla ice cream ... hmmm and MMMMM.

lol ... this is the 3rd time today I've seen this post ... all from you ...

You know, Craig, I'm disappointed in you. After reading Brian's intro I thought to myself, "Craig will have something interesting to say about stars" and then you posted that. I was expecting some real astrological find there! Patrick Stewart is awesome ... I've actually met him ... but this is not what I expected from you!

And the helmets are rigged so that when you try to put them on, they come flying off your head.

It was televised ... just not in your market.

YESSSSSS!!!!!!! CHICKEN DINNERS FOR ALL!!!!!! 2-hit, CG SO.

Nope ... that's not a standing structure. You don't live in your car. If you lived in your car beyond commuting and errands, I'd give that to you. But you don't live in your car. I live in my building.

Awww ... showing Kirby leaping catches ... nice.

SHHHHHHHH!!! When will you people learn??? You d NOT make such jinxing type comments during the game.

And I can't see water, per se, from your windows ... just weeds and reeds.

I consider my whole building my home, so yes ... from my workout room and from the pool, yes, yes I can.

Are you sure? How big is your lake?
