I know this has been discussed before but what about using dragons as catchers?

I think they would be great. The Umps could ride on their backs and only the bravest would ever still home. Granted all the calls would have to come from the bench.

Speaking of intriguing

Assuming you could shapeshift, what would happen if you decided to turn yourself into a rock? You ASSUME your consciousness would go with you, but in reality you may not transfer your consciousness and you would simply be a rock, unable to turn yourself back into a person. It is possible that several rocks are actually shapeshifters that made poor decisions.

Did I just blow your mind?

Well if we are going by exceptions to the general rule, then you throw the whole stereotyping system out of whack.

I could then say that prepubescent upper middle class blonde girls are serial rapists because there has probably been one in history.

Scufflenoggin, Curfarfignugget and Scatlapper have my syllables.

If they don’t accept those words, that would be fuckdiculous.

Those sound like characters in CATS.

And on that note, my next cat will be named “Fuckdiculous”. Because what veterinarian wouldn’t want ME as a customer?

Also, I was going to name my dog "dumbass"

So I could be like “Come here dumbass” and when someone turned around I could say “no, not you dumbass, I was talking to my DOG dumbass.”

Science is about incremental discovery.

The only way to support subsequent theories is to have a scientific foundation for your current hypothesis. Tell your professor that if he expects you to continue your analysis to AOL online poll voters and lower middle class sports bloggers, he should let you continue your research unimpeded.

I'm debating a study on the merits of

Standing on street corners whilst covered in maple syrup, mustard, and my own sick, and reciting the lyrics to “Disco Inferno” in the style of Ken Keasey.

Street corners mainly, because they kicked me out of Starbuck’s.

According to Wikipedia, the capacity for baseball is only ~35,000.

They must not be including the upper deck out in center field.

Even more amazing, the stadium was originally constructed for $25.5 million. Then it was renovated for $200 million in 1996. Wouldn’t they have been better off demolishing and starting over at that price?

by Wilder. on Sep 3, 2009 9:44 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

What's funny is the renovation is what made it so bad.

It was pretty back before they demolished the view by building that disgusting thing in center field.

I love that commercial that’s for some educational shit but really it seems more like a ploy to put a teeny looking girl with a tight shirt and tiny shorts on TV. I’ve always found it odd and interesting at the same time.

I'm terrified to think if we should even try and "fix" him

I see him being a .270/.360/.500 guy, if he can fix his BABIP and LD%, but it seems like he gets “scared” at the plate and just swings as hard as he can.

Hell, if he can give me .250/.330/.475, I’ll bat him 6th till the cows come home
