I'd been hoping to see what Bark might have in the post Olson Twins era. If we had a nuclear bomb, i guess we're playing in a fallout shelter, eh? Hopefully this is the last we'll hear about Lohse beating every major league team...

Hmmm... Sounds like a low leverage situation to try out new rally material... Any ideas?

Decades? Or Centuries?

As i've gotten older, i'm perhaps more forgiving of it. Haven't really tried mixing it with anything either. But grey poupon commercials were fun to mock... Er, good start, Dozier!

I hear colors run in the laundry. Perhaps that doesn't illuminate the phrase, i just figured maybe that was the first step towards flying colors... Anyway, i'm satisfied. It's better than passing the mustard. Not much for mustard am i. So i'm fine with passing it. Almost 2 hours to game time... (Going back to doin' other stuffs...)

Really? We get to do that?! Cool! (I kinda thought it'd be Molitor's job...) Edit: Oh, wait. Just the game thread. Had me goin' there for a moment.

I always liked "Garbage in, Garbage out." (Shame to see the zeros go in the post count... but the way i'm goin'. i'll see 'em again. And those posted by May tonight will likely be of more interest and perhaps better earned.)

(And to get it out of the way and not forget...) Funny how pearls of wisdom grow from a bit o dirt stuck in an oyster's craw... Here i hope to contribute with other prec(oc)ious stones of that kidney... A rule of thumb i've heard mentioned... she is correct. it behooves one to recall it. An archaic but shorter form: Her be Right, a Behoover, further ab"be"viated and simplified: Herbe(rt, hoover) and so all would remember, we named a president after this rule. But as Polonius says in Hamlet... "Neither a borrower nor a lender be." He says no to be-lender. I guess it is important to maintain slicing and dicing skills... Burrowing is it's own punishment, as you're just digging yourself a hole. Oh. I'm sorry, i flunked paragraphy in high school. Let me try again? Herbert Hoover and not b-lender, while not exactly pearls of wisdom, might be stones of that kidney. (And if it can fit in a sentence, it must be able to fit in some paragraph or other...) Does that pass? May i return the favor? Next mile stone... um... mobius strip, Gettysburg address, and bioluminescence? (Note to self. Less fun trying to think in advance than to do it on the fly... Maybe that is the secret to the threads of the games...)

Coining the phrase "Wax on... Wax off?"

Wish i'd watched more TV, even though i bet i could dig it all up now somehow. It's more about having it somewhere in the background to draw upon. Meh, I guess i got my own (perhaps esoteric) set of cultural references to draw upon...

Sure it wasn't a sweatshirt? I always get those two confused, because i expect the word with "shirt" in it to be well, more shirt-like. But i have learned the difference, and i think the hood would help with sun more... Oh, and i miss Ramos as well. I probably didn't pay as close attention to the minors at the time. It felt like a move just to make a move.

Strange... I don't remember that from the movies.

Beaten to the punch by 5 seconds... (And by a much larger font)

Um... Winnah?

So how is that ruled? A double? A single, and advancing on the absence of a throw? Fielder indifference? An error for leaving 2nd uncovered?

Hunter brings in Dozier with another double to tie the game. Hope springs anew...

I read this, and promptly assumed Escobar was there... Robinson as a right hand batter makes more sense against Sale. And he's on!

Anything to get on base. Sadly, it was not to be...

Shouldn't the gophers be playing for us?

(And that's why it's an error, for the nose.) Nah, only if they like using astrics, like the fellow who relieved Ruth after he walked a fella and got tossed, if i remember the story.

I think a fork is too partial for umpires. This calls for impartiality. Which means a spork. I think i figured out why they ruled that an error too...

Okay, Phil. Bases empty again. Now a 234 inning?

At least 3 pitches later, i hope? 0-0 after a 123,456 first inning. CBU.

Challenges are good.
