Trying to remember if there are singing clams in The Little Mermaid... I know they are Oysters in Alice in Wonderland's version of the Walrus and the Carpenter... Which if i remember my Kevin Smith, is an indictment of organized religion.

I speculate it is all about having low expectations met. The tide came in. The tide wen out. I am content. Well except i used "as" or "like", making it a simile rather than a metaphor...

Sorry i let mlb pick the broadcast, and the shunted me to the home announcers. They describe last year's team as a softball team. "Only thing missing was a keg at every base." Which was said in good clean fun, and perhaps is complimentary in its own way. But still sounds weird to hear.

Throw me a cookie, i'm in a slump. They say nothing is so difficult as hitting a major league fastball, but try swing at the fastballs of fans expectation, and trying to swat all where the fielders aren't, so as we all get safely to first, second, third, and home after the game. So i ain't exactly written many good intros this season. Case in point: i be this here metaphor is forced and gorunds into a double play. I might as well call the infield fly rule right now and put me out of my introductory misory. Of course the wise course would have been to lay off this idea as the way outside ball it is and drive the next idea into the cheap seats... That all said, you all, please use better metterphors than i! Metaphors be with you! Twins: 0. Rich Hill ( L) P 1. Max Kepler ( L) RF 2. Jorge Polanco ( S ) SS 3. Nelson Cruz (R ) DH 4.

Wow! Weed wacker on a riding lawn mower! Does it reach beyond the mowing area? Do you use it while driving, and hence stear it into the weeds? Or does it get an extra control arm to use while stationary and perhaps get locked in place for the former situation?

One can never go wrong quoting Babylon 5. And let me know if the metaphors ever shift to much. I am working on a metaphors field to fix that.

They did in fact award Clippard the win. Likely because he had a clean inning late in the game while it was still in doubt. Everyone else kinda was in trouble at some point.
