Thanks for helping me out, BBG!

I just got out of class, and I didn’t know the games were starting so early tonight. I appreciate your help.

I should turn it back off since apparently they learned to hit very recently.

Every time I check the score,

the Phillies have scored more runs. Too bad that never happened with the A’s (well, it kind of did, except it was usually the other team scoring).

What the hell

This game is just crawling by. I started watching something else in the top of the 3rd, and now it’s only the bottom of the 3rd?

I was pretty damn sure Manny would do that

I knew they would give him something to hit with a 6-run lead.

FOX analysts are so obsessed with the home run.

It’s basically one of the only hitting stats they talk about. Ridiculous.

Okay, that's the saddest story ever

Cannot imagine showing up to the park and finding out that your mom has died. BUT why in the WORLD couldn’t his family have waited to tell him until the game was over? It’s not like he could do anything until the game concludes in the first place, right?

I agree. I can’t imagine having that on my mind while trying to manage a playoff baseball game. Not that he wouldn’t have it on his mind tomorrow anyway, but he’d at least have a little time to grieve before going back to work.

by drmmerchk on Oct 10, 2008 3:56 PM PDT up reply actions  

I know!

Seemed weird! Not like he was going to find out at the park, you know? Have him show up, coach, and then find him afterwards to tell him, and then let him travel, etc. Why make him think about that during the game?

Nope, it might even border on "cute"

A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 90 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left. ‘Amazing,’ he thought as he flew down I-70, pushing the pedal even more.

Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a State Trooper behind him, lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, ‘What am I doing? I’m too old for this,’ and pulled over to await the Trooper’s arrival.

Pulling in behind him, the Trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I’ve never heard before, I’ll let you go."

The old gentleman paused, then said, "Years ago, my wife ran off with a State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back."

"Have a good day sir," replied the Trooper.

one of the many things i don't understand about baseball...

when a pitcher has just walked the bases loaded, why would a hitter still swing at the first decent pitch they get, and ground out to second base?

by the way, I just called Kimball's Carnival

located in downtown Oakland (Broadway near 2nd st) They confirmed that they’d have all the postseason baseball games on their big TVs. I watched the 2007 basketball postseason there — nice space, decent food and beer.
