Much appreciated. I was old enough to know better at that point, so probably the damage was already done.

Epiphany... As the old adage goes. nature abhores a vacuum. Without an actual baseball game driving the thread, what other games do people enjoy? My gramma taught me Russian Bank long ago, and occasionally i go in search of others who know the game. My parents also had a board game called Wheel 'n' Deal, (unique from others of the same name as it has a Squirrelville Detour) And last but not least, somewhere out there is a game my sister found at a store going out of business whose name i don't recall. But it was a 2 player game in which each player had 10 dice, and the only element of chance decided who went first. It was essentially a chess game where the dice were pieces that moved the number of hexagons showing, and the players sum remained the same, so if a piece was taken, other dice were incremented. Most intriguing, i found it, but never played it extensively...

Putin says... Play "Putin says" instead of "Simon says"

Aha, i kinda figured that was likely my error. Them Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim... And him being less likely to be traded means all the more reason he would be around to welcome one Brian Dozier to LA... (that much of my comment i'd thought through, believe it or not)

My bad... Perhaps i could have been more clearer if i had said something like "Please remind me who we traded him to." For some reason, i thought it was Los Angeles... Please don't blame the FO for my dubious communication skilz.

I finally figured it out. The reason the Twins have not given up any hits is that they haven't been playing baseball... That RiverBrian is clever, what with the game thread and all! I wish i was quicker with the lyric references so i could have contributed to that aspect of the thread.

Who'd we trade Alex Meyer to again?

What if i do know what's funny? And my name isn't So Shut Up. Is the feline pictured part of a potential Dozier deal? Doing my small part to power the turbines of rumor... Or is it rumour?

I guess this why i can't have nice things. On the plus side, they still haven't given up a hit.

Twins have a no hitter going so far. Exciting, isn't it?

Come on in! You know you are always wlecome here.

Yeah... Discussions on geographic relationships should be given a wide latitude...

That's pretty good! Where's the on button for the season?

Oh well. Used to disappointment.

Did we win?

Double negatives nor nothing for me... Yeah, i probably will eventually find my way into the other forums... Regarding strategy in football, my pop said the excellence in kicking removed a class of difficult and potentially decisive strategic decisions from the game. Not totally unlike the designated hitter, perhaps? Shouldn't have taken Les Straker out of game 3... Apparently i jynxed the vikings by mentioning them to a friend. At least they wont lose this weekend...

Well, i guess iwas wrong... Cleveland beat Boston. Not a big deal, i just figured with David Ortiz retiring, he would Collect one more trohpy... Perhaps i jynxed them? Not going to lose much sleep over it, though...

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus...

RIP Sir Neville Marriner... Golly gee whiz, why can't we have nice things? I suppose it can only get better from here?

Did we win yet? Busy day...

True. And they will be said in game threads all their own.

Winnah. 'nough said.

Ninja'd by snepp. But still my fault if i jinx anyone...

Wait... Both teams have 2 hits. Yet we got all the runs... How'd that happen?! Are they running the wrong way?

All i see is a like button...
