Something sinister there...

Well, a tie game. Just goes to show if you get enough hit singles, eventually you'll get an album?

Truer words have not been spoken! Anyone else have recommendations for the listening enjoyment before the game starts? And i have not watched enough Doctor Who in my time! I have been loop champion on a Doctor Who pinball machine, and i suppose that must count for something. With all the excitement in Oakland, would it be worth joking that KC has signed a Dalek as the new closer?

Game isn't over. Don't jump to conclusions. Let's not be hasty...

Aren't baked beans iconic? And does anywhere else have brown bread (it comes in a can) But those you can get anywhere without loss of flavor... Things already mentioned sound like good ideas. At least better than i could offer.

Me and my big mouth. Sorry all!

Let's go, Pythagorean Triple Play. (It'd make me happy, but i'll be satisfied with anything that leads to a goose egg to pick up Arcia)

Arcia... Setting up the double play, i guess.

Ah, but did your doctor say anything about eating them tomorrow? Or the next 2 weeks? Enjoy!

Friction was higher than expected, i think. I hope he's okay.

Concur

Felony? That sounds like a written rule then. This was brought up in the context of unwritten ones.

Is there such a thing as an ugly goose egg? Circus Boy update: Twins up 1-0 after 2.

Yes.

If you can't catch the fly ball, that's the next best thing!

Alas, a day late to put a candle on it.

Thanks for correcting that. I figured i'd not take the time to look it up, and see if anyone noticed if i got it wrong... I have not scored very many games in my time, and figured it'd make slightly more sense numbering wise to continue the increasing widdershins theme displayed in the infield proper... Live and learn. So the line up contains 7 squared too... What can we make o' that?

(I'm still not sure if i'm supposed to be raising it or lowering it... There are sound arguments that both are acceptable, even preferred) I was going to comment on an interesting fact of this line up: TWINS: 1. Santana SS (6) 2. Hunter RF (7) 3. Mauer 1B (3) 4. Dozier 2B (4) 5. Plouffe 3B (5) 6. (our) Escobar DH (er... 0? 1?!) 7. Arcia LF (9) 8. Suzuki C (2) 9. Schafer CF (8) That being positions 3,4,5 are batting 3,4,5 respectively... 3,4,5 squared? It's a Pythagorean triplet.

It probably falls under the heading of a short leash. I hear it is a good universal management (or moderation) technique, often employed for starters to keep them in line... for a win.

If i ever manage a team, everyone must be able to catch. It'll teach them to respect the position, at the very least, and contribute to the renaissance athlete we all aspire to be.

Thanks all! This has been a educational thread. Catch ya later on down the trail. And i look forward to more small victories (no relation to Leonard Smalls), bits of Fry and Laurie, 1-2-5 innings, and Simon and Garfunkel parodies.

Do you have to wear it the whole day? Perhaps just wear it during the game. How dirty can it get in that time span?

Exactly. Some excitement on the field, even if it is what would be known in football as "garbage time"

Yeah, not so often you see a two tag double play. I enjoyed it. Oh, and sorry i've wandered off. Game's not quite so close as the last two.
