  • Yes, the Nero Leagues were an unjustly overlooked era in baseball, though the Hall of Fame has been working on that.

  • The hard stuff.  It always comes down to that.  A gateway ice cream, just a little vanilla, or maybe strawberry, what's the harm, right?  Then comes a "friend" letting you try some Gold Medal Ribbon "

What 'av the Romans ever done for us?

Had one lend me an ear at just a quarter point above prime.

Winnah!

 

/ in Burlington, by Cedar Rapids, 4-2

So if this lead holds, Perkins or Tonkin in the 9th?  Or Burton? 

.V?  or maybe you mean .D?

Yeah, just didn't feel like chiseling the two extra digits.  If the over-under for wins in 2015 is a half win, gonna bet all the money in the couch cushions on the over.  That's what Vargas Fever can do to a Twins fan after a long winter.

Your friends and countrymen might give you a better deal, can't hurt to ask.

And the Kernels win.  Great night in the minors!

So why when I post, I have to hit post, wait for it to come up again and hit post again to have it post?  And when I hit quote, it never quotes?  Maybe something to do with this computer not having any memory?

Sorry, I was too busy counting all the Vance Worley/Trevor May wins.

I'd like to see Hicks run here.

Here's a little secret, Hicks isn't a really good base stealer. He isn't that fast.

Whatever happened to RB?  He hasn't posted in hours...

He had one already, in only 5 years.  It's not like it's some great rarity or anything.  Sheesh.

Agreed, but the Angels catcher has looked pretty shaky on throws.  I think the next three weeks should be dedicated to giving Hicks more confidence.

 

Mauer!

I can't quote on internet explorer, but it works for me on google chrome.

Yaaaaaawn.  What?

Send a PM to Brock if you don't get any guidance the rest of the game.

Well I was here... I fell asleep in my ice cream... I woke up and Ash was posting in another language and a little later... I saw Ben Revere hit a solo home run to tie the game with two outs in the ninth.

 

I verified it because I thought I was still in my ice cream.

 

I post it... And nothing... Now I'm trying to desperately verify if I'm still in my ice cream.

ODed on Butter Brickle.

The hard stuff.  It always comes down to that.  A gateway ice cream, just a little vanilla, or maybe strawberry, what's the harm, right?  Then comes a "friend" letting you try some Gold Medal Ribbon "for free, man!  It's awesome."   Next thing you know, you're cruising the entertainment district late at night, looking to score some butter brickle, hating yourself the whole time.

 

Sad, really.  They say it's a disease.  I'm not sure there's a cure.

I'd like Vargas to take a few more walks.

Best post of the night ... so far ... :)

OK, here's a tip.  Run a comb through your hair.  If it comes back wet, sit up and put the bowl in the sink.

Butter Brickle has caused a lot of problems because the brickle pieces clog the needle when you try to shoot up.  The hard core addicts use a larger needle and then end up with a dangerous amount in their system and hallucinate things like Revere home runs.  The rumor is they found an empty container of the stuff in Jim Morrison's Paris apartment, but Bridgeman's had enough power at the time to suppress that fact in the news and police reports.

Your friends and countrymen might give you a better deal, can't hurt to ask.

I did.  They didn't.

Isn't one of the conventions of baseball "Never swing at the first pitch from a new reliever because you'll probably hit a pop-up"?  Bad job, Ozzie.

 

Unless

a) you are Kent Hrbek;

B) the pitcher is Ken Dayley;

c) the bases are loaded; and

d) it's the World Series.

Gosh, i was napping nicely, and now my ears are ringing.

 

I can't account for the Revere homerun. Rumor has it sometimes players do better for other teams than they did for the twins.

 

But i was paying attention early in the thread.

 

Angular momentum was Vermont's downfall.  One can only hope for an elastic collision...

 

And i'm still sad the old man in the mountain collapsed.

Collapsed, hah!  Most of us know he was actually pushed, and there's been a massive government cover-up.
