Perhaps sunshine is the yet-undiscovered sixth stage of grief* :)

6 Stages of grief?

 

I thought perhaps it was check list mechanics used before they let you root for the Twins again.

 

Might the final* stage be good?

 

*Too lazy to count...

    Aye. Whatever we can cobble together.

Winning means no longer grieving.  Sunshine is a known cure for depression. 

 

The final stages apparently get our hopes back up so we have to go through the 5 stages again?

I think you're on to something there Van.  You and Sample should combine the stores and call it Cobbler & Cobbler Co.  The potential for cross utilization of supplies is enormous.  

 

Run out of shoe shine?  Sub chocolate sauce.  Run out of chocolate sauce?  Sub shoe shine!  

 

You can sub shoe shine for caramel sauce as well. 

 

You can sub the shoes for bowls.  Talk about the eco benefits here.  No longer using disposable plastic bowls that contribute to climate change.  Just grab a shoe and serve it up.

Ladies and gents, I apologize.  I checked out for about a week and we went on a 4 day losing streak.  Last night, I tuned in to the game...you know the results.  That Cleveland debacle is on me. 

 

OK, so here we sit 1.5 out with some obvious holes to fill, but at least we are only 1.5 out!  Compared to where I feared we would be and compared to last year, I'll take  it.  A few key injuries could throw us into a tailspin, but the same could be said for every team.

 

I love our outfield...minus Grossman but even that could be worse as I watched the pale hose RF commit errors 8 and 9 on back to back pitches last night.  I'm starting to love our infield.  I don't love our starting pitching and I can't even think about our bullpen.  We dodged a bullet last night, but we didn't manage to dodge any against Cleveland, so it all evens out.  

 

We need a winning streak...like a 5 gamer.  One down, 4 to go.

It's a kinda possitional flexibility. Let us see what the chairperson says when he gets to this thread?

 

I think John Chapman set a good precident with his hat...

This is the most gamethread of gamethreads. Plus I learn things (today is summer solstice, shoe shine substitutes for chocolate sauce, Vanimal has ambitions, although perhaps a bit modest, etc)

 

Peach cobbler on a shoestring for everyone!

Concur.

 

The synergistic benefits are only limited by our imagination.

 

Stomp the grapes waiting room.

 

Advert treads leave an impression.

 

"Pardon me boy, is this the Pennsylvania station?"

 

...

 

Sure, and is that peach and pepper potage? And artichoke soufflé?"

Since I have no idea what this means, it must be POD.....

Think i'm going to head over to Target Field tonight. They're 0-4 when I'm there this year so I will shoulder the blame for this impending loss. 

 

My wife has a large quantity of shoes...

 

If shoe repair and ice cream don't mix, you don't know shoe repair and I will not be frequenting a cobbler shop that you are the proprietor of!   :)

ChiTown could keep two shoe repair shops in business full time.

Would not want to be wearing that Vader outfit tonight.

 

Just how many shoes are you expecting to repair? And I'm quite sure shoe repair and ice cream don't mix.

 

I disagree

 

If Walmart can have optometry

If Sears has a tire shop

If K-Mart does open heart surgery

 

A Shoe Repair Shop can sell ice cream!!!

 

Actually... I believe every single business on earth should sell Ice Cream.

"Brian's Slaughterhouse, Wholesale Meats, and Ice Cream"

 

Has a certain ring to it.

Ugh... Castro should have caught that and we'd still have a 0-0 game. IMO that should be an unearned run for Berrios.

Does Rosario make that throw? If he doesn't, who is the first to say he should have gone to second?

 

(I know, I know, it was a closer play.)

I'm not loving the omen being projected by this Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn haircut that Berrios is rocking.

That's the second time I've seen Castro missed a one hopper to him at the plate that should've resulted in a out.

Dick, it's Sahn-chez, not San-chez. (Referencing my pet peeve post from last night.)

 

Even so, let's not call names, spin.

Sorry, I'll channel TK and call him Richard.

How about 'no' to bunting Dickbert.
