August 21, 201511 yr Well, see, RB's game intro referenced crabby. And then blue crabs. So North, being clever, made a "crabby" reference, tying his comment back to the intro. "Blue," of course, is another way of saying "sad." So....crabby, and blue. Blue crabs. Blue crabby. Or something like that. I thought it was funny. Maybe I overthought it. Actually, no, it was pretty good. I'm just culturally stunted. I googled blue crab, which brought up the wiki disambiguation page, and it's apparently the Maryland state crustacean. This gives added depth and resonance to a running gag i had not hitherto understood. I'm sorry i was so lazy.

August 21, 201511 yr I like Glynn better than whoever was 3 base coach a few years ago. Was that Vavra a couple years ago? He had no idea when to send a runner home. Scott Ullger? He waved runners from third to the dugout on several occasions, and once sent another on a highly illegal human organ courier trip to Hong Kong.
August 21, 201511 yr Oh, congrats on 12k.Wasn't paying attention. Did ya do aught to celebrate it or mark the occasion? If it's the latter, there's a company that makes several products to both prevent and clean up after... http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71hyFUjb3NL._SY355_.jpg
August 21, 201511 yr 3 K in 3 IP, somebody needs to tell Duffy it's not the Twins way to strike batters out.
August 21, 201511 yr Do we nick name folk?Would Mr. Gong show be apt for an adept with the hook?I like "Extra E" because of Duffey, which usually has one less e at the end. It also reminds me of line from a urine fetish ad in New York: "The extra E is for extra pee!" Or we could call him Captain Hook or something, true... Dr. Hook?

August 21, 201511 yr OK... Bark... Now we need Sano in full hunting gear with a machine gun standing over the bird.
August 21, 201511 yr Author http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9cXToNSNr7c/Uxk3EDW_AAI/AAAAAAAAwUk/g3sUXQ2ti48/s1600/gong18.jpg Fantastic Show... It was must see TV as a kid.
August 21, 201511 yr Scott Ullger? He waved runners from third to the dugout on several occasions, and once sent another on a highly illegal human organ courier trip to Hong Kong.Who was before Ullger?
August 21, 201511 yr Torii looks washed up. I'm afraid father time has him in his clutches or has stuck a fork in him.
August 21, 201511 yr Author Who was before Ullger? You gotta go ways back for that. I think it was Sir Walter Raleigh
August 21, 201511 yr That is correct David. We do shag them sometimes. It can get awful lonely on that god forsaken island. We also eat them, along with penguins. You can only eat so much fish, and the fish of the South Indian Ocean is nothing to write home about. But the Grouper Loaf of the Diego Garcia Expat Club is not to be missed if you're in the neighborhood. Wash it down with a bottle of Nature's Miracle...

August 21, 201511 yr Author If my last name was Showalter... My kid would be named Walter... Without Question.
August 21, 201511 yr Wow, this kid can pitch. I wonder if he'll have a chance to be in the rotation next season. If not, you'd think he could be a good reliever... especially with that curveball.
August 21, 201511 yr If my last name was Showalter... My kid would be named Walter... Without Question. Sure. //think about it.
August 21, 201511 yr If my last name was Showalter... My kid would be named Walter... Without Question. What if your last name was Sherwalter? edit, Damn, sorry Chief, didn't see your more clever post.
August 21, 201511 yr Mauer swings at the first pitch. So does Sano. 2 more runs for a 7-0 lead (wait, we've been remiss for Mr. Circus Boy, eh?)
August 21, 201511 yr But the Grouper Loaf of the Diego Garcia Expat Club is not to be missed if you're in the neighborhood. Wash it down with a bottle of Nature's Miracle...I've been there my friend. I didn't have much of an appetite. I was part of the group of scientists that had to examine the dead bodies of missing flight MH370. The extraterrestrials did quite a number on them.
