Not surprising...

hopefully

the Campillo sequel will go like the Reyes sequel.

Day off

Living in the Twin Cities, I am wondering where the Brewers may be hanging out tomorrow in Minneapolis on their day off. I’m guessing I won’t see Prince at the famous Murray’s Steakhouse downtown. Molitorfan or any other Minnesotans, any guesses?

I know this isn't really what you were asking

But I always liked Thai places (Tum Rup Thai, True Thai, Sawatdee) and Pizza Luce for vegetarian fare.

He's extremely quick and good.

Sawatdee

I’m also a big fan.

Tropical fried rice, man

I love that stuff.

So no more gangbang?

I was actually starting to warm up to the gangbang. Was this discussed already and I am late to the party?

You have no concept

Point of reference

What’s the origin of “you have no concept?” I missed out on the “emersed” joke and demand that someone bring me up to speed.

I believe

it’s a Yostism

Ned comment

Post Game Interview

“That’s not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer,” Yost said.

That may be true, but doesn’t the math make him an unlikely run-scorer?

“It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter,” Yost told reporters. “See, you guys have no concept. He’s a run-scorer. So there’s nothing weird about it. That’s what he does.”

by SgtClueLs on Jun 25, 2008 12:00 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah

I’m always torn on that sort of thing.

What actually tipped the scales is that you’re getting all these interviews, and trying to get more. I don’t want some minor league pr guy to talk to you, then see you write for a site calling itself a gangbang. I don’t try very hard to be “official,” nor will I ever, but I probably shouldn’t actively antagonize people like that.

Also, cheese.

Exactly

as long as kirbir is here, only so much will change.

I originally read that as "Goo me!"

That would definitely earn an R rating.

Did you read the danger area?

Harmful or fatal if swallowed

well, if there was swallowing

then that stuff isn’t needed anyway.

“Safe and effective”!

I've got some scintillation fluid

that has the same “safe and effective” label.

of course, if you let some drip on a tabletop, by morning there will be no more table.

regarding the national anthem???

“i hope you weren’t eating during that.”

anyone else wondering what he meant by that?

I think he's been spending too much time with Ueck

by kirbir on Jun 25, 2008 12:04 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I agree

It was the worst anthem I’ve heard in a long time. Switched keys (drastically) about 5 times.

by oconnobe on Jun 25, 2008 12:08 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

remember

Mark Grace’s 7th inning stretch at Wrigley about a month ago?

now that was truly awful

Time-Warner commercial

That’s funny, we’re all tired of waiting for Bill Hall too.

He's extremely quick and good.

by battlekow on Jun 25, 2008 12:04 PM CDT   0 recs

Speaking of that..

All my friends had TWC and always commented about the “Get your roll on” commercial (Some low budget auto repair commercial) with a horrible rap in it.

I’ve been diligently watching commercials to become “in the know” and have yet to see it. Know what they are talking about?

by SgtClueLs on Jun 25, 2008 12:11 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Nope, I haven't seen it

I’ll keep an eye out for it, though, but pretty much the only thing I watch live on TV is baseball.

He's extremely quick and good.

So, on the tennis court this morning...

I actually broke a shoe. Ripped the toe right out.

Thought you’d like to know.

Also, cheese.

Was there a topless woman involved?

Or perhaps flaming wreckage?

No topless woman.

This time.

I can hear the panting from here.

I've uh

torn the right side top off my right shoe before and gotten my foot rather bloody over the course of the next several hours (tennis tournament in high school).

but I’ve never lost an entire toe of shoe or self.

where’d you get your shoes? from a subway musician?

by PagsBrewCrew on Jun 25, 2008 12:49 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

ha.

no, but I’m pretty brutal to tennis shoes. these were due to fall apart, I just wish I had switched to new shoes a day or two earlier.

Also, cheese.

Following up on TheJay's comment yesterday

Brewers starters have an ERA of 4.06 through yesterday’s game.

After the first inning, down to 4.05.

Also, cheese.

by Jeff Sackmann on Jun 25, 2008 12:24 PM CDT   0 recs

Seven scoreless will

bring it down to 3.994996.

by Zeyes on Jun 25, 2008 12:35 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

At least you can calculate an ERA

The French would just give up and have a tripe sausage.

He's extremely quick and good.

Well, in the beginning

Then you get the Poles to do it for you.

So

If the team had lost the first two games of this series, would we be hearing about how they score early and then coast to the end?

I thought it was funny that Bill said winning without a hit from Prince was a testament to the offense

I was pretty sure it was a testament to the pitching.

Wow, Brian McCann is slow

Kendall

I know he’s not playing, but he’s been hot lately: since the start of the Rockies series he’s hitting .345/.419/.473 in 62 PA.
