that WAS memorable.
I’ll give you that.
But so was that dead body I saw.

Yeah,
but the ABEZDL took care of it.

Does it have to an OR?
CuttheMullet, from "The Thread":
"Whenever I’m about to do something, I think "would an idiot do that?" and if they would, I do not do that thing."
not at all. I was figuring both
but was wondering if something else on his body fell off.

Don't feel bad.
Currently I have tabs open for: A motorcycle forum, fake online baseball forum, AN, and another motorcycle forum.

Man, is there any logical reason to bring in Bailey here?
Other than it helping out my fantasy team?
Solace: Law says he's a fourth OFer
PaulThomas: I think Keith Law is only a fourth analyst
well, that surely was what they were thinking.

Or keep in Ziegler?
Bailey has pitched like the last 4 days, and a lot this year. We gotta give him a break.
Breslow’s down there, too, by the way.
I’m wondering why Kilby isn’t already here.

No

Perhaps Geren is feeling more pressure to win than we think
I’m just guessing. That’s probably wrong.
do you think that kind of pressure,
presumably placed upon him by his higher-ups, would register in his clearly undersized brain?

Half the battle, etc.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
It always intrigues me when the preview comes on
because I don’t know what the heck it is. Then, when the title comes up, I curse myself for getting sucked in by the CGI…

Do not throw a meatball
but do throw a strike or 3
Win.
