The thing I remember about the Minnesota State Fair when I went is that for $1, you got all you can drink milk or choco milk.  You just had to stand at the front of the line and pound it.  They jacked up the price to $2 a few years ago.

They have the usual butter sculptures, fried food, etc. 

How's the lutefisk? Wait, no need to answer that. It's by definition inedible.

Definitely in.  It's the last weekday day game of the year.  Looks like theres 4 thirsty thursday's in a row.  Aug 22, 29, Sep 5 and 12.

trucker hats ready for pickup tomorrow.  what.  up.

ok, so if you ordered one (or more) please start pm'ing me addresses.

and if there are any of you who see each other often, feel free to coordinate and maybe i can ship several to the same location.

[henrygandorf 29,174]

also she said they'll keep the screen for about a year typically, so if there are more people that want hats, we can order more and have them printed for cheaper than starting from scratch, but we have to order 12 at a time.

also it's easier now that i know these people, i can order and have hats shipped directly to their warehouse.  save me the trip.

Straw playing 2nd and hitting #9 in game 2

Biagini pre game interview is a little out there 

[TonyTexas 10,482]

Biagini pre game interview is a little out there 

He tries a little too hard. I find him somewhat annoying.

[UTexasFight 9,376]

Yep.
I was at this same conclusion on August 1.

Doesn’t matter to me, but I get the feeling dude is lonely in the locker room.

If any Austin peeps ordered any, I’m happy to be a runner for this area.

[Planet Houston 4,923]

Leadoff. Dinger. Again.

[Lat22 3,994]

And that’s why this fat guy just ran into the room to make sure he saw  the first pitch. 

[runthebone 7,932]

1 ticket and 2 beers for $22 means those tickets must be about $2.

 

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Damn it. And I was just reading about how Yuli had cut down on his GIDPs this season. 

[henrygandorf 29,174]

he hit the ball hard.  not sure what you can do.

at least greinke won't be too bored.

[TonyTexas 10,482]

Really hoping for a quality start today from Greinke. Wasn’t especially impressed with his 1st outing

[henrygandorf 29,174]

i just ordered 25 hat-sized shipping boxes off amazon (to arrive tomorrow).  when the wife gets home from work, she will not be pleased at the whole operation i'll have going on.

[Cooder 37]

That curve was nasty to end the inning. Damn.

I chalked up his first outing to some poor defense behind him, but yeah, I'd like to see him come out and dominate today. 

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

I am assuming the one against the Twins in '17 is the longest:

 

[Scraps 13,541]

Just saw the Springer Dinger highlight....good lawd 

[UTexasFight 9,376]

Judging by that distance and date, yep.

[YChang 3,430]

Whew... ballpark did us a favor there

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Blast for an out. Bloop for a hit. Fucking baseball. 

[Wishbone 4,731]

That bobble head pic of Reddick makes him look blind in one eye.

[Wishbone 4,731]

Great play!

Would explain his struggles at the plate. 

[UTexasFight 9,376]

that’s a carbon copy of the Jake play

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,750]

Did Chirinos tag Castilla?

I was waiting for this. 😎

[runthebone 7,932]

Hope Chirinos is OK.

 

Don't run on George!

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Al. Tuve. 

[runthebone 7,932]

That guy's pretty good.

[UTexasFight 9,376]

Fucking agswin

Or Josh, or Uncle Mike, or Jake.

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Eloy and Cease for Quintana was a great trade for the White Sox. 

[Wishbone 4,731]

Greinke dealing with a bit of “Samson Syndrome”?

[YChang 3,430]

More breaking pitches like that Zach... 

[Wishbone 4,731]

That last pitch was toxic.

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

This is a fastball in the heart of the plate right up to the point it isn't:

 

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Crap, a Greinke dinky parley voo.

[YChang 3,430]

From all the press I was led to believe Greinke was like... really good, not just decent. Hope it's still just an adjustment phase for him. 

[Scraps 13,541]

Lol wuttttt

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

might be out
