If you've had your wisdom teeth out then it's probably too late.

Refreshments, watermelon and nightcrawlers .....

 

staples of all garage refrigerators.

 

Watermelon?

No, the one in the house is relatively new and relatively expensive. We'll find something cheap for the garage to keep the, uh, refeshments cold. That and the freezer space is what we need.

 

Thank goodness you're focused on the important stuff. The other posters are talking about some baseball game.

Get a Big Screen TV for the wall and you'll be ready to officially move in.

Another one?

 

Not a bad idea, when given some thought. Gonna be a tough sell, though.

I'm not so sure Santana would have scored if Dozier hadn't tried to go to third

 

With his speed...and a tag needed... I think he had it but Runners can be a decoy in that situation.

 

All in All... I'm happy for the run!

Which one?

Watermelon?

 

Never room to stuff it in the main fridge ... it always went in the basement or garage at our house.

 

I have to say, though that the mixture of nightcrawlers with other things was a little disconcerting.

 

And please don't tell me that you eat watermelon at room temp.

Suzuki still pretty hot .... ASG bid on the line.

What temp should he be at when eating watermelon?

While waiting for our National Anthem and first pitch and instructions that the broadcast is owned exclusively by some clowns in Cooperstown, some thoughts on the pace of play.

 

Rewatched the Sept. 30, 1967, game with the Red Sox and it's amazing how fast the game went. No graphics, no exploding scoreboards, no mascots, yet the viewer knows what's what. So as a fan, fast play is a treat. When I umpired, I know I could do a better job when play didn't drag, as well. (And, it's no secret, the fast-working pitcher got more strikes called from me. Imagine that.)

 

My question: Wouldn't players behind the pitcher want him to work faster, too? Wouldn't coaches be coaching that, as well? (I know I did.) OK, that's two questions.

 

I love that video, too. I also noticed how quiet the fans are. They are watching, not pumping their fists and shouting.

Watermelon, refreshments, and night crawlers is exactly what is in our garage fridge and my grandparent's basement fridge.

That was a really dumb baserunning decision (by coach or Suzuki...whoever made it)

And please don't tell me that you eat watermelon at room temp.

 

Give me Dead Man's Favorite Treat for $200, Alex.

Chimpanzee's have 98% similar DNA as humans do. I read that and I let it roll around in my head a little while... 98%!!! That's a big number... Well... My first thought is this... It sure makes that 2% rather important and I want mine protected. I'd hate to have surgery or something... only to have the Doctor accidentally remove my 2% non-monkey DNA.

 

Maybe that 2% differential explains the Bigfoot phenomenon. That's my best guess.

When I ump... If a player had odd colored shoes... They wouldn't get a call.

 

The color of shoes is an exaggeration of course, but the ump is there ultimately to ensure that a fair game is played. Not to do one particular aspect of that or another. If he feels that one pitcher is trying to gain an unfair advantage by dawdling, and calls a borderline pitch the other way a few times, I can't get overly worked up about it. It wouldn't necessarily be my own style.

Must be an IOWA thing!!!

What, exactly, is the gain in sending Zuke there with no outs?

I have a 15-ish yr old extra fridge in the garage. Darndest thing...it worked fine, but needed a defrosting and a good cleaning. Upon spending a decent part of Saturday cleaning it thoroughly...it decided to quit working.

 

That's what I get, I guess.

 

Mrs Chief and I are going refrigerator shopping later.

 

Last time I got the oil changed in my car, the left rear tire was flat the next morning. The mechanic wouldn't make good, either.

"Escobar's job is to get the runner to third base". NO IT'S NOT. His job is to hit. That continues to irritate me. If he makes an out, it would be helpful to advance the runner, but it is far better to get on base.

What temp should he be at when eating watermelon?

 

He should be hot (which I'm sure is Brian's normal state) ..... watermelon should be icy cold. Like for group picnics when you put blocks of ice, watermelons, and water in a stock tank and let it chill!

That's why Santana shouldn't be swinging at the first pitch!

Danks is rattled. At least, it sure seems that way "watching" the game on the ESPN website. (I'm at work.)

Joe about due to hit one out. He's been awfully close.

But a single works, too.

First pitch fastball...line drive RBI hit.

 

Me likee!

He should be hot (which I'm sure is Brian's normal state

 

Henceforth, he shall be known as HotBrian.

Three-zip is nice, but it feels like it should be more.

I love that video, too. I also noticed how quiet the fans are. They are watching, not pumping their fists and shouting.

 

You're right. It was a different world.

A dull meaningless game at the end of the season? It's often like that.

 

/ yes yes, I saw "1967"

Watermelon, refreshments, and night crawlers

 

Sounds like a Sunday Picnic with a curve ball protein - Yummy!
