Ha
that was the first time I read that.  I was saving that thread for when I had time to read it.  Isn't that ironic, that is to say, Ain't that a Bitch?

Can we make it proper etiquette to restate the Aflac question the first time someone tries to answer it?

Did you find a Fat Tire in CO, or stick with Newcastle?

Heh...

I tried 8 new beers in Denver...
alas, no Fat Tire.

...and by God, I loathe Ryan Franklin

Ryan Franklin...
its payback time !
Nobody listens to Andrew

by nlt-andrew68 on Jun 5, 2007 10:27 PM EDT   0 recs

Yeah.
Maybe he will throw that same slider that he threw against L.A. (you know, the one he said he would throw again).

Dont take this the wrong way
But Ryan Franklin is the new Josh Hancock.

by obc on Jun 5, 2007 10:28 PM EDT   0 recs

Do you guys ever get the feeling...
That Duncan is a better pitching coacch than the jokers we hire?

But no way do I prefer him to Dick Pole.  He's a sophomoric comedy goldmine!

I always have been and always will be...
A Griffey fan..

I just think Griffey and Cincinnati have been a terrible fit.  It makes me sad everytime I think of it.  We've been awful, and he's barely played.  That's just not how it should have turned out.

Griffey
Here he is!

Now leave him in for Hopper!

Dammit Griffey!
That's what I get for believing in you!

Griffey
Griffey's been doing a lot of his damage early in the game this year, hasn't he?  What do the stats show?

LLM
Good move.

by obc on Jun 5, 2007 10:32 PM EDT   0 recs

Oh thank god
No Castro.  At least if Valentin fails, Castro is out of the game.

At least it wasn't a DP
That way, they have to waste a bunch of pitches getting Castro out.

You owe Zach an apology...

Could have hit him with a pitch and then let him steal second.

have impressed me with the improvement of EE

I think it has less to do with the coaching...
And more to do with EEE himself.

i guess what I'm saying is a few weeks without Narron must do wounders for confidence

::sigh:: no...
He was signing on Friday before the game, and I had nothing for him to sign. It wasn't until about two hours ago that I realized he could have signed my ticket. Bah.
