There are few rules for game threads. Virtually nothing is off topic. Let the conversation flow, like rain water, down hill, to the gutter.

But there is a limit. And I have the power to set it.

So let it be known, henceforth and forevermore: NO MORE MENTIONS OF COLONOSCOPIES. EVER.

Are we clear? ARE WE CLEAR? CRYSTAL??

That's exactly what my doctor said it should be!

Is Profar down there still or was he called up?

[Vanimal46]

I don't see him in the lineup. It's possible he could be taking the day off.

I'm an International man of mystery Jokin… A. Man. Of. Mystery.

 

 

Finally, your true identity has been revealed?

I hate looking at pictures of myself. Apparently I am very bad at manscaping.

I just checked, he was recalled to replace "Fist a Cuffs" Odor.

[KirbyDome89]

I see Urias only made it 2 2/3 for the Dodgers tonight....good thing he isn't a Twins prospect or his ticket to AAA would already be punched...I wonder what it would be like to be a fan of an organization that understands how to develop young talent...

 

[Platoon]

well, i'm not above a little schadenfreud: urias, the teen phenom for the dodgers, gave up three runs on 36 pitches in his first major-league inning.

Does he have to go back to Rochester like the rest of em?

Replacements > nirvana

Frazier> Mary Tyler Moore.

[Pardon My Dinger]

No, the irony of misspelling Frasier is not lost on me, so save it.

[jimmer]

I turned the game on right as Sano was swinging at that pitch.

[Danchat]

Sano ties Park with the team lead in HRs - 9. I think Sano's returning to form.

 

Now, can Park just start hitting again?

[formerly33]

Replacements > nirvana

Frazier> Mary Tyler Moore.

NO.

 

 

No. No. No no no no no nononononono.

 

Noooooooo.

Trivia! The Replacements were the first rock band I ever listened to, waaaaay back on July 28th of 2015.

 

Nirvana was the last. <3 <3

Based on that HR?  Going into today, his OPS the last 7 days is .563.

The replacements were nirvana. Like ten years earlier. Look it up, kiddo.

[Bark's Lounge]

Which is 2nd or 3rd best on the team in that time span… just sayin'.

Nirvana replaced the Replacements. Like eight years later. Look it up, wiseguy.

I'm nut sure that really means anything, but ok.

[ashbury]

At the moment, his OPS for today is a lot higher.

It means these are lean times compadre.
