This with astroturf in the bed

Good luck in your continued endeavors. I hope there's a silver star somewhere in there for you and I'm just too dumb to see it.

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you there, Bob. On base is on base - there aren't many passed balls/wild pitches, and virtually all players would be stoked to get a free trip to first.

I believe that is called "the hammer".

Reduced in speed as this song is only highlights the precision of Parton's pitch, timbre, rhythm, and pronunciation. Her musicianship is nearly flawless. What a song, what a performance.

Here's a clue:

I've had a guided tour of the abandoned tunnels - you might still be able to do this through the city engineer. It is an eerie place, once converted into a fallout shelter and now being used minimally to route pipes. It's pretty carefully secured, so I don't think there is a mutant human civilization humming just…

You can't show the pitcher up too much. Hell, if this had happened to Bob Gibson or Don Drysdale they would have plunked Harper for the rest of the game, and probably the first time they faced him in the next game, just so that he would remember.

Um, did I miss something? No one posted this yet?

Furgone? No worries, all it needs is a new merkin. Or is that 'Murrican? NP just because Alfa!

As a diehard Cardinal fan, this losing streak has sucked, but I figure that the guys who have been hitting this year except for this streak will get it back together and they'll be ok. Much better to have this happen now than in September for the Cardinals.

Well, thank god that Putin did not allow Rodriguez to leave the Moscow airport - the Yankees would have to take him off the DL then.

Can't wait for the discussion about 1993 AA baseball cards - welcome back Keith.

I'm not sure about the others, but that blue one looks like the Gerrymander Division.

"Lolo Jones just quaffed a bitch" sounds like material that Hustler would have a great deal of interest in.

For the man's engagement ring, just get a simple gold family signet pinkie ring. If you have no known family signet, make one up for chrissakes. That way the guy gets to feel like an English lord and a Mafia don at the same time.

Charlie Weis - human ziggurat.

My understanding is that this happens if you meet a stranger in the Alps.
