Did the Padres run out Players whose names star with a P? Does that make them the Adres? Sounds like a Prospect with Potential. I am Placated.

duplicate post. And i don't see a delete option. but if i can come up with something new and pithy, i can say that instead... um... pithy... Mmmm honeycombs!

it's not small?

Did we win yet?

Correa was a top pick. Buxton was another. Pickles are worthy of discussion, even when ya don't want one.

That is still plenty of volume... (assuming topis to be a third dimension)

On Monday we did.

Ah man! Even "I am so proud" in 3 part harmony?

What i miss? Intermission for dress rehearsal...

Can do.

The pater familious?

They did Pinafore. "I shall send you to heaven before i send you to hell." -Sideshow Bob Good enough for me.

No i think he is using regular balls. The grandkids win if any are still standing... Last year, Chief picked up a 7-10 spare. We'll see if they are nimbler now...

That was my scooby-doo voice.

Pssst. G&S is out of copyright.

And to show you i'm serious. Now you have 3 hours.

And the game will end in an out.

This the Ruddigore game thread intro. Everyone is encouraged to be melodtramatic about everything that happens. The slightest misplay send you into horrendous depression, or make routine plays lift you into exuberant over confidence. Or if you'd like to emphasize the mellow part of melodrama... That's good too. For those not familiar with it, Ruddigore (the Witches Curse) is Gilbert and Sullivan's parody of melodrama. If you have nothing better to do in the 4 hours before the game starts, go and watch a youtube version of it. It has a bad baronet, a haunting picture galory, and the epitomy of patter songs with the final line "this particularly rapid unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter". Ruddigore has Rose Maybud as a main character that makes me think of Citizen Kane, with "Rosebud" as his dying word, and the inspiration for Citizen Kane was William Randolph Hurst who somehow was involved with yellow journalism? I'm not entirely sure why that seemed relevant to a game thread, but happy 20th of April, everyone! Hopefully the questions involved with that train of thought as it recedes in the distance will have been an entertaining distraction from all the questions on the field. What were those questions? I haven't been paying close enough attention to recall... Who is this Paddock, and was he worth a Rooker? Were Urshela and Sanchez worth losing Donaldson or dealing with the Yankees? When do we get to see Buxton again? Minnesota Lineup: 0. Chris Paddack (R) P 1. Jorge Polanco (S) 2B 2. Carlos Correa (R) SS 3. Gio Urshela (R) 3B 4. Kyle Garlick (R) RF 5. Gary Sanchez (R) C 6.

What i miss? Intermission for a run of a show (pit orchestra world)

I thought we'd left Massachusetts behind?

How are we doing?

What i miss?

Thanks for joining, and setting a fine example. Sleep is an apt response.

Or at least get going. They have succeeded in the past after all. And i decided to use the funds i probably wouldn't have spent on mlb tv if i didn't get it free through the t-mobile offer (plan decided by employer long ago, and just kept it going on my own as i left) to support this here website. For that, i don't get to be an old-timey member any more. Bust despite the absence of recognition. We're steeped in that old-timey stuff.
