So... what if i hope for too much garlic?

Finally took a moment to google it. I am particularly fond of the Spike Jones rendition...

I think i'd settle for not getting knocked into orbit in the first place...

Wait... I just noticed the Angels have not only more losses, but also more wins than the Twins? I am surprised... They must have played more games, i guess.

That means... Are they almost the same person?

Ah. That. They correspond to number of bases reached. The lack of which implied he had not gotten to first...

Ut oh... What'd he do now?

In dead time waiting for parade to start. I hope we win. Or at least build character. Adopt a prospect sounds like a commitment... Sorry i ain't pulled my weight there abouts. I also just don't wanna be greedy.

Does Walter Johnson count as a non Twin?

When the music's over, turn out the lights... G'night all. Sorry i snoozed most of the game away. I got me some odd sleeping schedule of late...

Rosario walking the walk.

Concur! Er, but not because they would have won 3-2 without it...

Stunt double? (Athletic, of course...)

Aw gee. You give me too much credit! Not sure i could adequately distinguish between moonerisms and spalapropisms,,,

Impending welcome home! I drove a car older than me out of state for the first time last night. I drove it back this afternoon, and was relieved to make it back safely. And this morning i got to play with a wood chipper, after minimal instructions aimed at averting a reenactment of the scene from Fargo... Long day.

Not entirely. Flautist could play bassoon for them. I believe it just disqualified you from playing that specific instrument you knew how to play. So perhaps i would be allowed to play a loophonium for them?

Oh, my running theory on the significance of minfding one's Ps and Qs.... There was this one Reverend Spooner who renowned for mixing things up in a particular fashion: he would get the first consonent of two words right, but then he would somehow swap the rest of the words around. Anyway he was apparently giving sermon about how taking care of responsibilities was important, how, in order to take care of the church he always minded his pews and keys. Or at least that is what he meant. Instead the congregation went home genuinely intent on minding their own Ps and Qs. And that is why that kind of word play is call a Spoonerism. But i might have gotten something backwards there...

Ah. So not throwing out the first pitch. I had vaguely infered the first pitch would not happen if you ran late...

Portsmouth Sinfonia is the sort of musical group i wish i could be part of. They performed Also Sprach Zarathustra... https://youtube.com/watch?v=hpJ6anurfuw Did i do that right?

The northwest states i don't remember too many details as i was younger than 5. And i otherwise Michigan is the dubiousest, as i took a wrong ramp our turn leaving Chicago heading eastish, and the way i figured that out was the "Welcom to Michigan" sign. At which point i took the next chance i could to head south. But Kalamazoo is indeed a fine place name. As well as one of them earworm thingies courtesy of Glenn Miller, if i am not mistaken.

Back to paying attention to game. Alas, we might not need a 9th innong comeback? I guess i am okay with that.

If all goes well, i expect i shall be out of signal for the game. Which is nothing new. I was socializing during much of last night's excitement. The Minnesota State Fair even came up in conversation, and a moment was observed when those not from Minnesota had all left the room. If i didn't already express the thought, nicely done!

I am not going to split hairs as to whether driving through counts. It is an intriguing question though. Last fall i passed through Louisville, Kentucky, which put me in each of lower 48. Do i have life altering story from each to share? No. Nor could i tell you which has the best s'mores... But meh, i got what i got...

??????! I thought the game hadn't even started yet.
