  1. I’m already planning the Minnesota trip for next July. I went in August 2015 and had a great time with some friends. Great weather that time of year, there and really nice stadium. I like downtown ballparks where you can stay, eat/drink, and watch the games without having to rent a car.
  2. Robert Duvall visiting him last night with cigars should have been a dead giveaway.
  3. If only AT&T had a stronger telecommunications infrastructure.
  4. Yep, it was a Monday afternoon game on Memorial Day. Down 8-2 in the 8th, they scored 11 in the 8th and 3 in then 9th to end up winning 16-8. Put them 20 games over .500 before June. Minnesota even tried the cheap home field trick of calling a bullshit rain delay in then middle of Springer’s at-bat to slow down the momentum. He said fuck your bullshit rain delay to slow down the momentum and kept the hit parade going 30 minutes later, then scored the go ahead run.
  5. And Cole and Yordan were repeats from June.
  6. Every team has an MLB assigned “natural rival” in the opposite league. Those two teams play two 2-game series every year. The Friday off day thing happens when one of those two series unavoidably falls on a weekend. It also happens in the games played in Mexico, but that’s on purpose as MLB has both teams participate in entertainment events the Friday before the weekend series.
  7. Legendary marketing ploy by the Roswell chamber of commerce.
  8. Earlier today, the Mariners decided to sit Leblanc and let their bullpen throw the entire game. Hinch wanted to keep the set off day for Brantley in tact and with the righty-lefty swithing turns nature of bullpen, he decided he to maintain the lineup he already scratched out.
  9. And 15-1 in the last 8 series games 1&2. These two wins in Oakland might be the most impressive part of this stretch.
  10. Astros took the first two of the White Sox series, too.
  11. XO Steakhouse in downtown is a solid, upscale steakhouse place and that strip of bars and restaurants by the Cavs arena and Indians stadium is fun. I’ve been to Cleveland a few times for work and it can be fun for a couple of days. Weather should be decent.
  12. "That was a static filled, triple scrambled, microwave transmission between two soldiers talking in Mandarin Chinese!""Well, the Chinese were only using a simple polyphonetically grouped twenty-square-digit key transposed in booster-verdonic form with multiple nulls. I broke it with this.” ”a drogan’s decoder ring? They put those in cereal boxes for kids!”
  13. Stephen Lynch was great. Saw him live about ten years ago. Hilarious and very talented. The two songs about being Satan and Jesus’ brother Craig are all timers. Funny, funny dude.
  14. Great thread, I grew up watching comedy and still love the art of stand up comedy. I remember watching Comic Strip Live as a kid every Friday night and trying like hell to remember the jokes for Monday at school.
  15. He was really good immediately after the Neo-moment for the remainder of that start in Oakland. He gave up zero runs over 6 full innings that night. The wheels came off in his next start and the next three after that. 24 ER over 18 innings. Yikes!
  16. Tracy Morgan is like Tom Arnold in that he's just so fucking amped up it's hard to listen to. The interviews are best when the guest converses with Howard, versus performing some kind of act.
  17. The dude on the bike would make a great storm trooper.
  18. Anothe vote for Monterrey/Carmel. If you've got a week, that entire part of the California coast kicks ass. Especially considering you both like good beer, wine, food, nightlife and history. We flew into San Jose and spent five days driving around the area and stayed at multiple hotels. It ranks right up there with any of the transatlantic trips we've taken.
