As dead as that thread was...

we managed to fill it up? Interesting.

Hmm

An inappropriate joke about an alternate ending to “Stand By Me” involving a dead hooker just popped up in my mind.

i didn't get to watch the game yesterday. but did dunn hit a home run into the river?

if so how far did it go?

also, if so why was there not more excitement about it?

1) No.

2) Real far. Cleared the visitors’ bullpen in Right (lower than the moondeck)
3) Because it’s Dunn.

MLB.TV ad

“Watch Ramirez’s countdown to 500!” Which is better, apparently, than Griffey’s countdown to 600.

by Brendanukkah on May 17, 2008 5:22 PM EDT   0 recs

maybe not better but probably quicker

Yeah, sigh

I’ll have to give you that.

by Brendanukkah on May 17, 2008 5:23 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I kinda think 500 is a bigger deal

because it’s pretty much a ticket into the Hall.

by ken on May 17, 2008 5:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, it's a big milestone

But 600 is obviously a lot rarer. I gotta say that 600’s the bigger deal. Or it should be.

by Brendanukkah on May 17, 2008 5:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

700 is the new 600,

and 500 is still the Hall threshhold. So 600 gets lost in the shuffle. That’s how my theory goes.

your theory is whack

by Gray on May 17, 2008 5:25 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i read your reply and i thought "what the hell is he talking abou?"

then i read my post and again i thought “what the hell is he talking about”

so i read my post again and i was like “ohhh”

I assumed you were writing from Harang's perspective

where “to adam” means to do as Dunn does, resulting in a true outcome.
