Good to spray some maple over all that Patriot's Day stuff.

F'ing Canadians. I really hate them arrogant bastards south of me.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

And now Drew Storen's about to blow it

He tried his hardest.

/Man that trade is looking bad.

Operation: Confuse the guy keeping track of standings is off to a good start

You couldn't targeted someone who placed better

Normally I can understand Southernese, but I am lost on this one.

Here's the SF Giants (Seals Stadium) site of the 1st ever MLB game to be played in Cali.(4/15/58)

All Funked Up - First MLB Game on West Coast in 1958

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

wow..lol at that short left field shot......lol

And a LOOOOOOOOOT of foul territory beyond 3rd base line

That pales in comparison to the foul territory now at the Oakland Coliseum....lol

Yep. That's why so many of their pitchers' numbers look better than they are. You get a lot of outs in Oakland that would be foul balls in other parks.

That lights out bullpen for the Sox.....

shit.

that's 2 for Kimbrel already.

Ben Revere has played ONE game for the Nats this year.

I think you're still winning.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I'm with you. I think the bets are fun and I sure as hell don't mind changing my avi - ask @Chewbaccer . I wasn't trying to welch, I just didn't understand. Sometimes I'm stupid.

A man that PROUDLY rocks a pic of Ned Beatty getting fucked in the ass in Deliverance for a month is not gonna welch on a bet. Come September, one of us will be rocking something pretty sick again for a month.

This one was more on Uehara. But that is not to say that Kimbrel pitched good. Kimbrel, like most closers, if the game is tied they don't seem to be as good as when they are trying to nail down a win.

 

[Chewbaccer]

And for the record, I work outside running a machine that requires ear plugs to be worn. Listening to day games on the radio isn't an option, so I like the 7 PM start time for games during the week. I can tolerate a 4 in the afternoon start time, because I can listen to it on the radio until I get home or to my hotel room.

And as for the kids, you can give them the treatment my dad would give me, stripe their legs with a belt and tell them to STFU.

You clearly can't understand southernese. Granted the was a very advanced sentence in the language. Hell I don't even understand it and I wrote it. But if I confuse you again, just interpret that I meant to say "The Mets Suck"

Yeah but they could've used him to get someone who isn't the rotted corpse of Drew Storen's first half of 2015.

I don't expect this result to happen very often.

If it does...boston is screwed.

Getting Carson Smith back will be nice. Koji being the 3rd best reliever in then pen is unfair (theoretically).
