Only in the bajorative sense...

Saw something about Oakland getting Crisp back. We counter with Rosario in right! Guess the future is now... Oh, i like the theme of the intro!

Glad to know there's hope. Thanks! Tuesday isn't Soylent Green day yet.

I thought there was a moderator's note for no more Simian jokes... oh wait. Sorry. That was Semien. But on a serious note, perhaps i need to listen to Monkees a bit more. Broaden my musical horizons... Anyway, thanks all for the game thread. Coulda been worse.

Concur

Dozier gets one run in, keeps the inning going, at the cost of a bat.

CBU... We chase Chavez with line out, a single, and a dribbler that gets overthrown to second, winding up with runners at the corners and 1 out, instead of a potential inning ending double play. Still down by 2 in the bottom of the 8th.

hkftftftftft? Been a while since i seen it.

A Ah, sorry. Yes, ewoks occur in the original trilogy of Star Wars, in particular, they are encountered in the latter half of Return of the Jedi where they are cute little creatures with spears and rocks who end up turning the tide of battle in a sci-fi universe. So they're kinda funny anyway in their out of place-ness. Not much more than that. Star Wars was iconic, so if ya ever get a chance to watch it, it is probably worth the time, but obviously not the essential part of life some of us old timers want to believe.

Let not Hunter's single be in vane...

Yo Your right. There was that one scene... "Than i am an ewok." "Not yet. One thing remains. Barber. You must confront Barber. Only then an ewok will you be."

Yes. (sorry, i missed this originally due to a long riverbrian response that drew mine eye downwards following it)

Ewok coming of age rite: quest for the barber?

Do ewoks make good stir fry?

Time's getting shorter for a comeback... I hope we can chase Chavez soon?

More than i done... Now that i'm thinkin' about it, perhaps i'd answer "to crush the evil empire" and leave it at that. Maybe teddy bears could feature in the answer?

Well answered all. I'm still trying come up with why an ewok crossed the road... But the class of jokes that answer the question "what's grosser than gross?" may translate well with furry in place of gross... (The originals don't make much sense either) I was thinking also of the movie "karate wookie" and its training scene: "ewoks on, ewoks off"... er... i'm too lazy at the moment to think of more... and games need watching.

Yeah, i checked the affiliate scores, and on that note was tempted to say amongst the good friends a pitcher has is a 10 run inning by his offense...

Ewok jokes are, by definition, at the ewok's expense... On the other hand, i never thought of it, but that could well be a thing. Does anyone know any good ewok jokes? If not, can anyone come up with one or more?

The pitcher is a popular person, with many good friends.

The first inning strike 'em out throw 'em out double play made me a little sad. But it is a long game, so i remain hopeful!

One can take credit for recognizing and sharing quality of preexistant material, as well as in original use of said material. True, there is so very much of it. And One can tell the original by the beard. One learned this by watching city of lost children... But it is also good to exercise One's originality chops every once in a while. Meh, One must now hope Twins can come back from a One run deficit.

Good job providin' context for tonight's game, always33! Now i'm wondering if Trevor May pitches a perfect game, do we post our congrats for Cy May or for Trevor Young?

If you hadn't deduced it from previous posts, the Circus Boy Final is... Minnesota 8 Oakland 7 Perkins does know how to keep the excitement in the game, but once again he comes through. Alas, i do miss my 3 run lead though. It did not last long.
