I went to the bathroom as he came to the plate, did that help?

 

Him, I mean, not me.

You both had the same result

Applebee's? Godfathers? Pizza Hut? We had The Red Onion, and Ida's Cafe. And that was in the "big" town. The little town a couple miles away had two bars of course. Once I was 14 Pa let us take the car around the gravel roads to the small town. We had to promise to leave it parked in one spot once we got there.

Reading this made me think you’re from another country. Hard for me to believe there are places that still exist today in the US like that

Standup version, or...

 

 

... table top?

yes.

You both had the same result

And it was entirely predictable

My hometown only had a cafe and an A&W (which was only open in the summer).  That is why we had to do our fine dining in Ely or Virginia.  I think Andy Griffith also might have been our sheriff.

Lol, I should have mentioned that was "several" years ago. Quite a few several states!

Hahaha that would have been remarkable

Hey, Ken Giles, ever seen Kill Bill? My name's Buck and I like to [hit game tying homers].

hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahhahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I hate this game

That's sooo crazy! I was just thinking to myself, "What this game needs is just one more Bremer home run false alarm on a fly ball down the left field line!"

That would have been delightful. 

Buxton does his best Carlton Fisk impression, to no avail

That was a crummy game. Have to hang with the big boys at some point eh

Night all!

 

That's funny, I was just thinking to myself, "What this game needs is just one more Bremer home run false alarm on a fly ball down the left field line!"

very specific thing to think :-)

After a rather depressing day, I had a lot of fun on this thread tonight all.  Thanks and have a good night.

 

GO TWINS!

But since they are on a long, cold homestand, there is no where for them to go.

 

We had a Pizza Hut in Thief River Falls. 

 

Then Godfather's Came in... Just a couple blocks from the high school. Godfathers also had Donkey Kong. 

 

We were so spoiled. 

Fun fact: The town I grew up in had one theater. When it changed hands, the new owners proclaimed they were going to be a "family friendly" theater.

 

First film they showed: Last Tango in Paris.

 

I had no idea I had that many years on you, RB. Donkey Kong didn't exist back when I was in high school. 

 

Instead, we used real donkeys.

Fay Wray was a contemporary?

 

You both had the same result

I hope not.

 

I have to believe something came out all right.

Did you rush the field?

 

 

Don't have as much problem with the Twins playing Castro every day because of his defensive value, but LoMo looks lost. At what point do you admit your wrong and call up Vargas. In my mind you give him another 10-15 games, and if this pace keeps up you cut bait

 

Agreed! The Twins are lucky to have snapped up Vargas again on waivers. They won 85 games last year with Vargas & Grossman DH'ing, maybe it's time to go back to that formula.

Thine memory is excellent, and thou hast recalled correctly.

I'm not sure if I ever played it above 60. 

I'm pretty sure Chief never played it below 60. They hadn't invented the game yet when he was that age.
