Holy crap
There is baseball and soccer happening at the same time on Saturday. My universe may implode.
~I'm on the DA~
That was a soccer game in the morning
And a baseball game in the evening.
The upcoming weekend games are both going to be at 1pm, according to the ad I just saw….
~I'm on the DA~
Did not know that.
I have a friend with seasons, she never mentioned it (and would have, I would have thought).
~I'm on the DA~
Well, no this one I knew about
Mathew was saying that simultaneous live games downtown had already happened twice this year.
~I'm on the DA~
I wonder what an ironic coincidence would look like.
A mugger getting robbed and then being arrested for his prior mugging?

I knew that was what you getting at with your original comment
Traffic is going to be a bugger
I think someone's being difficult
I love obstinance for the sake of obstinance. And yes, it is.
~I'm on the DA~
I assumed - perhaps wrongly so
That people were watching this game on FSN. I saw an ad. I responded. No different than how I react to a lot of things that happen to the game.

Where?

And again, so? It is not like you can be at both so it makes no difference from a viewing standpoint if both are at home.
Felix should place a towel of his head again.
Maybe it will bring us good fortune once more.

Leyland also likes eating Twinkies and other junk food.

Drayer was talking during the rain-delay vamp about Felix
He was reminicing about making his debut here 4 years ago— and happily telling the reporters that he had the same locker today as then, and the ball was in his locker today, just as it was back then— she then reminded us that back then he was a chubby baby with curly hair…
Falling down off his head?
as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the mound beneath. It is twice blessed
He that gives hugs and him that takes strikeouts.
The mightiest in the mightiest, it becomes
The throned King better than his crown.
His Curve shows the force of royal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein there sits the dread and fear of hitters.

Larry Stone had an entertaining chat with Wak about it
here. I’ve never seen anyone with as pronounced a twist as Tiant, though.
Roger Angell pegged it:
1) Call the Osteopath: In midpitch the man suffers an agonizing seizure in the central cervical region, which he attempts to fight off with a sharp backward twist of the head.
2) Out of the Woodshed: Just before releasing the ball he steps over a raised sill and simultaneously ducks his head to avoid conking it on the low doorframe.
3) The Runaway Taxi: Before the pivot, he sees a vehicle bearing down on him at top speed, and pulls back his entire upper body just in time to avoid a nasty accident.
4) Falling Off the Fence: An attack of vertigo nearly causes him to topple over backward on the mound. Strongly suggests a careless dude on the top rung of the corral.
5) The Slipper-Kick: In the midpitch, he surprisingly decides to get rid of his left shoe.
6) The Low-Flying Plane(a subtle development and amalgam of 1, 3, and 4 above): While he is pivoting, an F-I05 buzzes the ball park, passing over the infield from the third-base to the first-base side at a height of eight feet. He follows it all the way with his eyes.
C'est moi.
I heard it as his record was 10-2 after a loss, thinking Rizzs meant win. I know realize that he was talking Felix as stopper.
Never mind.
SO it sounds like Tillman is gonna get called up soon.
You got slurved!
Hehehe Mark Reynolds is so awesome.
