What'ya think he'll do with it? Whatever it is, we need it. 1-0 after 1.5 innings, courtesy of a double, sac bunt, sac fly.

Who throws a fork ball these days? Or has it gone out of fashion? Or is it just called a splitter, as nickel curves are now sliders, which taste good when thrown out by white castle? That said, food on a stick sounds pretty good. My memories o' the Minnesota state fair strongly feature the boxes of fresh french fries too hot to handle... And i always wanted to see how far i could go with the all you can drink for a quarter milk stands, served in shot glasses too cold to handle... But my folks perhaps knew better than to let me indulge so just before a long drive home.

Well done! Good ol' Robert Frost. Reminds me of this quantum mechanical parody thereof... Two slits diverged in a yellow plate, And sorry momentum spurred me through, I could not stop and choose my fate, But loped on with unwavoring gate And which I took, I never knew. Observers always heave a sigh Confronted by the evidence. Two slits diverged in a plate, and I - I took them both as easy as pi, And that has made the interference. Some day i'll figure quantum out... Probably when i finally do homework. I hear a main stumbling block is statistical mechanics, so i'm sure following baseball is good practice.

Ya know, it just occurred unto me... A fork is nothing more than a W on a stick. Often they are even more literal, and it is a UU on a stick. I like epiphanies... I think i'll try to have them more often. If i ever open an institute of higher learning, that will be the driving principle. And i shall call it Fork University... Anyway, i's looking forward to a game, and all the excitement the word implies. I hope we win!

(Is Chief about? ...) Winnah!

Good to hear. Someday maybe the same can be said about the Twins. And do we blame Plouffe for that double play?

How they lookin'?

What about Herrmann?

Pitchers duel? 0-0 after 2...

Oh boy. We're a-comin' to bat!

Thanks! Alas, i don't think we passed anyone last night (though i could be mistaken) Anyway, your post brought to mind the followin' song, which i think i recently got somewhere in a pile of ancient sheet music... Might try to dig it out. (And now i'm tryin' to come up with a parody... "Smeagol, though you've lost the precious. Smeagol, you still catch the fishes..." is about as far as i got.)

I'll take good care of her! She won't get a scratch!

I must read this Charles Bukowski... Thank you for the cultural stimulus.

"Sweet are the uses of adversity, Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;" I think he'll and on his feet.

The fleet's beginning to break up... Dumping garbage... Ah yes. We have our moments. Not many of 'em but we do have 'em.

See above. (fifm)

Was that a Jeter-esc play from Nunez? Who'd a thunk it.

How do those movies do? The concept sounded interesting, but i never bothered to find a copy or watch 'em...

Ooops... My bad. Mother Superior jumped the gun...

He's just a poor boy from a poor family?

6-1?! We gotta do something before this turns into a route...

How long ya figure 'til we get out of the inning?

Graham strands 3 for the goose egg. (CBU, stands for Circus Boy Update, Circus Boy (poster who'll chime in if ya wait long enough) pointed out during spring training that he couldn't tell the score from readin' the thread. So in his honor(?) we implemented that feature... Could be worse. Edit: scratch that. It is worse. A run scored while weren't payin' attention. Sorry 'bout it.

Could be... I kinda always meant to give the CFL it's fair attention. Didn't Rickey Foggie have some success there? And Doug Flutie as well?

Welcome aboard! That's an excellent reason to chime in!
