Riske to DL; Swindle up

Via TH:

I just talked to assistant GM Gord Ash who said Riske "casually" mentioned some tightness in the elbow over the weekend and said it did not subside in recent days. Ash said there's some slight swelling to go with the tightness but right now the severity is unknown.

Awesome! If he pitches anywhere near as well as he did yesterday, Riske can stay on the DL ;)

I hope we can see him tomorrow

I’ve only been able to witness the slow ball once, when they played the ST game on WGN. Soriano fouled it off, but he still looked silly doing it.

I doubt he'll go tomorrow.

He just threw 3 innings yesterday.

Dammit, you're probably right

Well I’ll still hope he’s in the game tomorrow; I’m going to flip if I get to see him pitch in person.

It's important when making roster moves

to maintain the number of available puns.

Also, cheese.

It's true.

If you don’t, all the statheads will berate you for lowering your teams Puns Above Replacement.

THE PIRATE

Hopefully he swindles some booty from the Mets this weekend.

Swindle!

This made my night (wasn’t terribly hard to do with no game tonight, but still).

I Guess This Proves...

That it is a Riske move to casually mention tightness. You never know when you will get Swindled out of a roster spot.

My reaction to that joke.

Forever immortalized.

there's no thumbs down?

doesn’t deserve a flag, but it certainly deserves an anti-rec;)

Would you have preferred

this one?

I don't usually mention my work in wrestling around here, but since it's relevant

One of our wrestlers for 3XW has a Price is Right gimmick. He comes out of the crowd to the Price is Right music, but only after being told to come on down, and when he loses that sound plays. Crowd eats it up every time.

Nice, while we're on the topic

I created a drinking game to the Price is Right.

You made a drinking game

for a 10:30 a.m. show?

It starts at 10:00 a.m.

So it all started when I was in college

I had no classes on Fridays, so we’d go out on Thursday night. Friday mornings, we’d wake up and have a hangover beer. The Price is Right came on one day, and somebody made an offhand comment about drinking to the Price is Right.

So we did.

It ended up turning into a big ordeal (hence the above poster). It was A LOT of fun. The only time we do it anymore is when we DVR an episode and play it at night. It just isn’t the same. I miss those days….

Uh oh

Sounds like someone has a case of Suppanitis.

I'm so happy

I could do a dance (less for Riske going down than for Swindle coming up, actually; I was hoping he’d make the team).

Good Luck Riske

Hope you figure it out, I really want to like you, but you are making it really hard. Doug Melvin also wants you to do well…
