It's the Game thread baby... A Magical place where anything can happen.

 

And to which RB also contributes.

If she is over 13... She becomes someone you have to tell to put the cell phone down because she is distracting you.

 

Not necessarily. I remember a game with my daughter, where we were close enough to the warmup pitching mound that she could visibly drool over Johan Santana's physique... she was somewhat over 13 at the time, but they grow up early.

Wheww... abrupt thread trend reversal!

 

We're good eggs here. Sometimes a person might not notice. But we are.

I'm a little jealous... I have Two Mostly Grown Boys (19 and 15).

 

My wife has one Mostly Grown Boy (59).

That sounds scary for a father. I had boys so I never had to experience that,

If I used the phrase "Eye Roast"... I'd probably get starred at with a quizzical look.

 

And this will be different, from other times, how exactly?

Now that was funny... Excellent debut post this evening.

 

I dunno, GCTF already set the bar pretty high in that exchange.

Its not... It's not... I've come to accept it.

Anyone know the last time we swept a 4 gamer?

I won't be condescending, so I'll just say that I view with extreme pity bordering on contempt anyone who hasn't had the privilege of raising at least one of both genders.

 

I'll also add that before I had kids, I had 3 theories on raising children. Now I have 3 children, and no theories.

I was actually hoping that Joe would post the pictures... Just so I could respond... Which one is the roast.

 

Joe didn't play along and you were able to express the idea anyway...

 

It all worked out.

I'll be hoping for a grand daughter down the line... I can wait... At least... I hope... It's a little soon,

I have trouble remembering to put my pants on when I leave the house.

Since you had 2 kids and I've got 3, I'll add the other good one I roll out every now and then. It was given to me by a co-worker just a few years older than me at the time (I guess he still is): when you go from 2 kids to 3, you switch from a Man-to-Man defense to a Zone. I thought it was funny at the time, afterward I learned it was dead serious.

The roast is the one I just ate. I'll show myself out.

And yet you worry about quizzical looks for "Eye Roast"?

Awesome... Are you a Grandfather yet?

Yep, one grandson with a granddaughter due in a month.

Hey-yo!

 

We're up to page 3. What inning is it? The 4th? The 5th?

That's not critical. All of the greatest heroes in American history have gone pants-less at one time or another.

I also have trouble remembering to say "excuse me... I'm about to change the subject".

Do you think that something to do with the staring? I would think it would cause a more shielding type reaction.

Even if the Twins win, you'll have to put an * in there because technically it is back to back two game series.

Depends on what you're packin'.

In all seriousness... The best thing about Babies... You get to hold them while you are watching the Vikings or Twins.

 

And if you holding a baby... The wife will not ask you to go mow the lawn... Get something down from the cupboard.... Fix something.

 

You can actually watch uninterrupted.

Is the correct protocol still to carry a wallet full of photos? No grandkids on the horizon for me as far as I am told, but I need to know whether the Internet age means I'll have to get with the times when it does happen, and keep an iPad tucked in the back pocket of my relax-fit jeans.

I'm not with the times and mis-capitalized the product

I heard that Einstein used to do it frequently... He was always so deep in thought that he would just think his way out the door without pants.

 

I'm sure he'd walk past strangers and someone would say "look at this genius with no pants".

Depends on what you're packin'.

 

Excuses, mainly.

Sorry. This is a game thread. Any discussion about the game itself is not allowed.

I want to beat Lohse pretty bad. That probably means 6-1 Brew Crew.
