Oh yeah, if i didn't say so already... Welcome back to the game threads, Mr. Riverbrian. Hope we kept 'em warm enough for ya.

That's the ticket!

I think we got this. Mark you, it's not said and done 'til i hear from Chief, but i got a good feelin'...

That was a bad joke?

Ha, they fell for our gambit, getting Escobar at 3rd. Now Buxton's on base!

(Cue the #8 hitter...)

What'd i miss? I hope Deshields is okay. Not that i'm complaining about another triple, mind you...

Hope it's working. You can get into a lot of trouble (so can we) if it isn't...

data point...

Perhaps not as refreshing in warm weather... What makes a good mixer (or chaser) for butter?

Dozier showed him how to get it by the 3rd baseman though. The mentorin' is on the other shoulders now...

I'm down with that. Less of a social experience though for most folk.

Does sousaphone sound better than helicon? It might be a matter of taste...

My lobster experiences are memorable too. First time i was so slow dealing with the shell that it was cold by the time i ate it. Gets kinda rubbery when cold. Second time the memorable part was being seated with strangers. They got their lobster as we sat down, and we chatted, then new strangers came when we got our lobster, and we chatted. I'm sure i've eaten lobster at other times, and it was fine, but i guess i don't remember much beyond the butter...

Yes. (And don't forget the Philae comet lander to, as CRArko posted. That's pretty exciting)

I assume mangoes don't run itunes...

He has indeed been designated for hitting. Just beyond the reach of their left fielder. Now i bet he wishes he had a mitt a little closer to the size of Michigan... Anyway, 2-0 Twins as Plouffe scampers home.

Some advanced Couch users will apply an entire side of their body to the couch. Either way, you should enjoy that first hit by Dozier. Thinking outside the ball park, is that fellow.

Play ball!

I'll get to him eventually, and it's a two volume collection, so i bet it has them also... But seein' as i haven't finished my collection of Chekhov's comic stories (the only place i found Romance with Double Bass, which i'd been looking for since seeing John Cleese's adaptation) it might be a while... Thankfully we don't have nearly as long to wait for this game to start, i assume.

Always meant to read Gogol. Even got a collection of his... (He wrote the Overcoat, no?)

Fine intro. Yeah, there wasn't much action on the thread during that come half back bit last night. And the team is still in a good position despite the recent troubles. I don't know if Buxton will pull the game thread together either. I sure hope so! Anyway, for my Russian Literature, i'll recommend the short story Romance with a Double Bass by Chekhov (Anton, not the Star Trek fella). Anyway, should be fun game to watch...

I don't know. I speculated this is filling the Stauffer spot? But i have not been monitoring the situation closely, so someone else might have already filled that...

Anyway, thanks for the company! Sorry if everyone got distracted by the Buxton news.

The comeback is half empty.
