How about okra surprise?

Thanks. Not many of 'em but i do have my moments...

See? No Problem! (I hope RB gets back soon. I'd feel bad for Mauer if he was left at 1st base)

Will he get back this half of the inning? If we answer, he'll never know the difference... We'll just sweep it under the mound.

Oh, and if my data point is useful, i'll probably break my straw in half and put it in both columns. (lengthwise, just to show off) I'm generally one who likes to appreciate the untarnished food substances, but i'm open and even encouraged to try toppings, especially if thereby i increase the food i eat... Often means i eat stupidly. especially my own words.

Delicious ambiguity... Kraut or brat? (and you make out like a bandit of Chief says "yes")

Yup, and the team they're playing tonight, Buffalo is the other team in contention. They're up by 1, and just got a contentious 3rd strike for the 3rd out of the 8th inning with a runner on 3rd. Batter (at least) was thrown out for arguing.

Probably next year, what with the AAA season winding down? And hopefully not. He could figure something out. Stranger things have happened.

Would it be useful to pay attention to the AAA game? I think that's still going on.

Try spilling... er, pouring the coffee on the chips. Perhaps it will be less wasteful? Come to think of it, have they ever tried "soggy" as a chip flavor?

Nice catch, Schafer! (and yeah, i liked his effort on the Delmon Dinger. I bet an element of the inconclusivity of it was the possibility of bouncing off the top of the wall and over.)

Yes. Though it brings up a bigger question: Since when? I heard somewhere that we've actually accumulated 9,999 jinxes ever. I like odometers.

Wow, that had escaped my notice... Thanks!

For some reason, I can't help but think of Total Recall.

I spoke too soon... Is that 218?

Where Madagascar is Camden park, wings are bats, and Chris Davis is a butterfly? Yeah, you're right. i think i need new primitive superstitions. And at least Delmon didn't inflict the damage, and Hardy only walked. But it's still entertaining to talk about 'em. And we got two base runners that inning. I think there's still hope for us.

And sorry my efforts to avert collateral damage were for not... If we can't develop a counter jinx, what about a jinx counter?

Only low jinx are bad luck. There have only been high jinx on this game thread.

That would be a Monorail?

I kinda pealed off halfway through DS9 myself, and started following Babylon 5 when i could. Haven't seen enough of the subsequent shows to have an opinion more informed than Voyager reminds me of Gilligan's Island... Too young for original (except in syndication, of course) and TNG was kinda up there with X-files or Simpsons as a social gathering. But the DS9 Premier was at after midnight while my crew team was in Florida training, and we told the couch we were all staying up for it, and he canceled the next morning practice. An understanding coach, that one. But i really enjoyed Galaxy Quest!

Be careful what you wish -er, hope for. The first inning isn't over yet.

Plouffe with our doink... (Shows how much i was paying attention... Dozier Doink.) Oh well.

At least this time they're giving us a chance to answer...

That sounds precariously close to an awful prediction. So, yes, say i.

Ah, so it turns dry heat to wet heat. Now i'm wondering if dry heat/wet heat is ever used to describe fastballs with less/more motion...
