I saw the Crabbe man

hit a walk off HR last year in Nashville. It was awesome. I am happy about this news, even if he never makes the big league club.

Like I always say

You can never have enough Callix Crabbes.

By the way, a calix is a cup, if roguejim would like to make a bad joke about a cranky beverage container.

He's extremely quick and good.

In the Rotoworld widget

it uses the contraction “Crabbe’ll”. I don’t think I’ve ever heard that contraction used before.

Whenever prince is at first, he should charge the mound and yell "MEAT!"

Just try it with Brett Sinkbeil

He's extremely quick and good.

Too bad we didn't know that

when Snow was soliciting names for the “Fosty Mug”.

Although, the “Frosty Calix” doesn’t have the same ring to it. :)

The Frosty Crabbe!

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"

broadcast straight from the Crabbe Nebula!

No, wait, the SETI thread was the other one…

I still consider

the moment I named by March Madness pool “Callix Krabbenhoft” to be the greatest moment of my life.

Hopefully no one walks him

I reckon it’d be hard to steal whilst Crabbe walking

Whilst?

When you said you were from the northwest, I didn’t think you meant Belfast.

He's extremely quick and good.

those college kids with their highfalutin vocabularies

the grandiloquence must be stopped!

Also, cheese.

Must be a lit major

He's extremely quick and good.

Heh

Religion and History major actually, but nonetheless I’ve grown quite fond of Shakespearean English and the fancification of words.

Very good

You are a paragon of honorificabilitudinitatibus.

He's extremely quick and good.

You know Melvin and Ash love the Crabbe

"He's been very, very impressive," Yost said. "I mean really impressive. I mean really, really impressive."

I thought

they weren’t supposed to return once you used that shampoo…

it's not so much that he returned...

it’s that somebody else gave him back.

Also, cheese.
