Ah, Timlin.

Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.

Won't work

There is an hour lead-time before that stuff kicks in.

Not that I know anything about it, of course.

I just lost a round of Text Twist on the word "vermin."

I should’ve gotten that, considering I’ve been watching the Red Sox for five hours.

...and the mouse said, "Look, get my ass out of this trap-"

“-and I’ll get you a leadoff walk, which, according to Gameday” said the mouse, “gives you a 24.5% chance to score, and thus, win the game. SQUEEK!”

Now ask the raccoon.

I don't understand what that graphic on the base path means.

It’s always the same number. It would probably help if I had the telly un-muted.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Oct 11, 2008 10:28 PM PDT reply actions  

I think it's the number of feet in the lead

By feet I mean the measure not the end of the leg

By lead I mean the distance from the base not the radiation proof element

Yeah, the red means they're too close to first to steal

and when they’re in the green, that’s the “go zone”- the lead they need to steal the base.

I think they call it the "lead tracker."

Something about how far the runner is off the base.

We're the Red Sox, you have to give us the call.

Francona was just reminding the ump that MLB has already decreed the Sawx are to win again

Holy shit. The runner at second was on third almost

But I’ve been looking for a way to become addicted to nicotine and I love cappucino.

Maybe new Commit lozenges are for me!
