Hey RB...if I recall correctly, you used to be in a band, right?

 

Some buddies of mine and I are starting one, and I wanted your opinion on a name.

 

We're thinking of going with "999 Megabytes."  We haven't been quite able to get a gig yet.

 

That's a good one... If I was still in a band I'd use that. 

 

The other idea I had for a band name was:

 

Band Width Problems. 

 

I'm going to be in Kansas City for work on Oct 27, 28 ... should I start looking for WS tickets? I'm conflicted.

 

Make sure they have wi-fi -- it would be a let down if you got to the game and found out you could not follow the game thread.

 

That's a good one... If I was still in a band I'd use that.

True story...There's a team in my Monday night bowling league..."Bowl Movements."

 

DAMN I wish I'd thought of that.

 

I sorta feel like if one has a chance--any chance--to attend a WS game or two--any WS game--you should do it.

I was trying to figure out how to buy tickets ... it's a lottery thingie ... unless I do stubhub or some such and I'm not sure how much I'm willing to pay yet ... depends on if I'm even working. (The trip could get canceled if I'm not.)

You really painted yourself into the corner with that Fall Knock Knock Joke.

 

But I really admired your attempt to escape... But in the end... There is paint all over your shoes.

That's a lot of paint... I'm wearing sandals.

 

Don't worry. Nothin' a little Turpentine won't fix.

 

That's a good one... If I was still in a band I'd use that.

That's definitely a name for an older person's band.

Yes, but is it a name for an old, old, old person's band?

I know you don't want to abuse your power too much, but this might be a good time to throw around some of your TD clout and get some prime seats (although they might want to get you in a broadcast booth and interview you between innings).

 

That's definitely a name for an older person's band.

 

Yeah... It was hipper when I thought of it like 20 years ago.

Now it's just gone to waist.

Hit the ball where it's pitched, but the other way.

 

That's definitely a name for an older person's band.

 

My community band plays in a community band festival every year called Band Width.  The average age of people playing in community bands is only a generation or two younger than Chief -- so you have a point.

That's a good one... If I was still in a band I'd use that.

Were you not able to find someone to play modem?

 

The Lunar Eclipse will be 5 days early.

Not necessarily relevant (is that a problem?), the original illustration for "cow jumped over the moon" makes complete sense!!http://www.gutenberg.org/files/19177/19177-h/images/img008.jpg

game thread seems to be draggin a bit.

I hope you did not just anger Steve Gutenberg by improperly linking to his page.  You don't want to get him mad -- he is ruthless to his enemies.

It's been a long season ... we're all tired.

Dick came close to a Yogi-ism: To stay in the race, you have to keep winning. 

 

I know you don't want to abuse your power too much, but this might be a good time to throw around some of your TD clout and get some prime seats (although they might want to get you in a broadcast booth and interview you between innings).

 

Dick: Ok as we get ready for the first pitch of the 7th inning. Twins with a 4 to 1 lead. We are joined in the Booth by ChiTown from Twin Daily. Welcome to the broadcast booth.

 

Bert: How are you enjoying Kansas City

 

ChiTown: Thank You... Pleasure to be here. Kansas City... umm... It's nice if you like that Dustbowl kind of thing.

 

Dick: Now Twins Daily is a website with forums that discuss everything Twins... I know that Bert and I read it all the time.

 

 ChiTown; All the time... We should make you a moderator. Because that's a requirement.

 

Bert: I don't read it much... It doesn't mention me as much as it should

 

Dick: If you could put Twins Daily in a nutshell for our viewers... How would you do it?

 

ChiTown: There are a lot of nuts on the site so there are nutshells all a round. It's like a Peanut bar in there. Shells all over the floor.

Word.  I can hold off paying that mortgage for a few months.

Kind of like the fans in the stands?

Sorry. My bad.

 

Wait... is that picture what drag racing is like?

Yes.

 

Wait... How can the Twins play the Royals in the world series?!

Well, the fans in the stands are probably also cold and wet. They have a better excuse than we do for being slow and draggy.

Well, except for Chief. Because, well, he IS slow and draggy ... comes naturally from being thousands of years old.

Yes - but they do not have to use their minds to process all of the subtle and clever jokes and ponder some of the complex philosophical discussions that you do on the game thread.  Our minds are much more fatigued by this point of the game.

 

What should we be more worried about?

 

Phil Hughes pitching or the Twins hitting versus Kluber?

 

Does this count as a successful jinx?

Um ... if these are subtle and clever jokes to you, that explains quite a lot.

It doesn't count until the game is over. You may have just jinxed your jinx.
