I hadn't heard that description of Spike Jones before. Fits. Thanks! As per well-tempered, i believe it is a technical term which describes a specific tuning of keyboard instruments such that symmetry is preserved: corresponding chords in different keys sound the same. And it does this by not using perfect 5ths (easy to tune) but something slightly less. Bach's stuff there was specifically written to show off that tuning. And actually if there is discussion along these lines, i may benefit from it. There is an out of tune piano in the basement, and i got a tuning key over the interwebs recently, and hope to learn by doing over the summer...

Ixd that or you.

Concur!

I'd just be happy if they hit the ball... Somewhere that it couldn't be fielded cleanly.

Well... Maybe eventually they can earn some trust? One can hope.

Meh, if i was called on to write another sunday game thread intro, i was considering attempting to emulate cummings... Not that i could do it well, but i'd try (the easy way out might be just to do the line ups)

I think the story is about financial responsibility.

"Crazy good" as the old adverts told me (in a hertzfeldtian fashion)

I woulda voted for a "flip the chapel" ceremony to mark it finished...

A load of PC, to the letter.

Mauer! 3s are wild, i guess.

We got runners at the corners... How's this team at cornering?

So he succeeded at being funny? What happened?

Yes. I hear some people also like a slice of tomato.

Shut the door, lock it, and throw away the key... Or is that swallow the key? I'd forget my own analogy if it weren't fastened on...

Must have been one of those grand forks someone stuck in him... Well done, Mr. Hunter!

Oh, i figured it out! You can distinguish between good Magnum and bad Magnum by the hat.

I also gotta read me this thread in a slower and deliberate fashion. There was poetry. Good stuff. And i's sad i did not the contribute. And having asked what we learned, i gotta learn too, if only to set a good example. But yeah, as fun as it may be to give folk a hard time, life is probably more important than game threads, so don't be too hard on anyone who acknowledges that... Anyway, yeah... Find time to read. Learn something myself, and perhaps contribute a bit more next time.

Did we learn anything tonight?

Runner on second with one out. This sounds familiar for some reason...

If you were a twin, we'd have the lead. Hope one of the Twins can say as much soon.

Hicks beats out the dribbler! On first with no outs... Looks good.

If he must fail, i'm glad he chose that to fail on...

Perhaps just barely, as they are professionals, but ranging that way and then making the throw is more difficult than it looks. Trying to put anything extra on the throw is likely to pull it up the third base line, just like he did... (I remember thinking the same thing when Hicks airmailed that sort of throw in spring training a year ago)
