Escobar is money!   Eddie the Stick!

One swing of the bat and Molitor goes from questionable to genius.

 

Good job, Mr. Escobar!

 

That's a perfect description! From now on I'm going to refer to my ex-wife as 'Birdhouse'.

 

I'm equal parts falling over in laughing and horrified at the same time. 

Okay, question for you all: 

 

Which is more important, the game or the game thread?*

If you live in a place where it's still snowing, your opinion doesn't count

 

I know... It is actually snowing and snowing significantly... Might be a two or 3 inches. 

 

I put up the Christmas tree at work to lighten the mood.

Spot on again! It's like you lived next door to us!

I think it's fine to get it up a little early. December will be here before you know it.

 

I will stand with you as I too, like ketchup with steak.....but ice cream???? Never have tried it and probably never will, even with a stick lol lol

 

Ice cream is good on anything!!!

 

One day I wanted an ice cream sandwich and one of the kids took the last one and he was laughing at me... Ha Ha... I got the last one. 

 

So I grabbed some plain ole Vanilla Ice Cream... Grabbed a couple slices of Wonder Bread and I made a bigger one. 

 

It tasted great!!!

Didn't Joey Gallo get gunned down in clam bar in New York?

Gallo taking absolute monster hacks up there.

Yes.

Depends, what's the game?

 

(Sorry this is so late, but it was utterly ludicrous what I had to do to get this created/uploaded.)

 

I'm guessing no more TJ Swan. (you do know TJ Swan is no longer on the market and those bottles from the local dollar store probably haven't aged, well, right?) Probably being paid with Colt 45 Malt Liquor fresh from the AMPM.

OMG- now there's a blast from the past.   I remember a few 'easy nights' and 'mellow daze' from a few bottles of that back in high school.

 

I fact, that memory just engendered a little reflection....

It's like asking what is more important... The Car or the Gas

Sometimes you can get away with 20+ pitch innings all the way until you get to your pitch count and still be effective.

 

Sometimes.

Santiago must have watched Cashner pitch last night. There was discussion that Santiago tends to leave a lot of runners on base and whether that was skill or luck. Either way it is continuing tonight.

 

It's like asking what is more important... The Car_s or the Gas

 

Is that... like a trick question or something?

 

 

 

Yes.

Grade: c+ (you ninja'd chief on this one, so, not bad)

OK, does this qualify for a CBU-type deal?  

 

I just absolutely do not get, and have never gotten, why we have had both Messrs. Escobar and DSantana on the roster at the same time.  For me, (and I suspect for a handful of others), Mr. Escobar has it in spades over Mr. DSan, and they are able to cover exactly the same number of positions defensively.  Now, I don't want to see either of them in the outfield at any time, but this is among the biggest wtf moves the Twinks have made in recent years.

 

It's like asking what is more important... The Car or the Gas

Hey, it's obvious the car is more important than the gasoline. A Lamborghini sitting at the curb looks fast while sitting still. No gasoline? Same thing.

 

Sorry, c- with that answer.

 

Depends, what's the game?

B+ for the reference to us oldsters.

 

I've gotta go with 5 card stud, myself. Or Blackjack.

Good job, Mr. Escobar!

 

Can I give him an interim grade of 'questionable genius' on this whole '.679 OPS middle infielder-as-DH' thing until we know a little more?

 

Grade: c+ (you ninja'd chief on this one, so, not bad)

I admit I took it from him, I would be afraid to ninja'd him or get into his mind, frightening just thinking that..............

Hm.  Delino singles, sharply, it says.  On base again, leading off.

 

I wonder if this has the makings of a "Snapper Give-the-lead-back" inning?

 

Or am I just naturally pissimistic? (sic)

I thought you referring to "us oldsters" was you referring to "depends"   

"Catchers who can throw the ball to second base in the air."

Y'know, over here on this side of the big lake, and with all the day games, I haven't been able to follow much.  But holy cow, looking at the BA's in that Ranger lineup, sheesh!  'Dey worse 'den us, like by a lot!  The only guy above water there is that catcher Chirinos, (which, coincidentally, was my go-to dish at Tommies back in LA).

When Santiago gets a strikeout I kind of forget about the walks. There have not been too many Ks though. Tonight he seems to be "pitching to contact."
