Game 114 Overflow Thread

PrintWhen Caroline Meeber boarded the afternoon train for Chicago, her total outfit consisted of a small trunk, a cheap imitation alligator-skin satchel, a small lunch in a paper box, and yellow leather snap purse, containing her ticket, a scrap of paper with her sister's address in Van Buren Street, and four dollars in money. It was in August, 1889. She was eighteen years of age, bright, timid, and full of the illusions of ignorance and youth. Whatever touch of regret at parting characterised her thoughts, it was certainly not for advantages now being given up. A gush of tears at her mother's farewell kiss, a touch in her throat when the cars clacked by the flour mill where her father worked by the day, a pathetic sigh as the familiar green environs of the village passed in review, and the threads which bound her so lightly to girlhood and home were irretrievably broken.

I rip on Gload but
he gets credit for getting the most out of his somewhat limited skills.
. . . a weary nation turns to Gil Meche
That... that... wow.
That’ll be on SportsCenter.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.

That is the single coolest Ross Gload play ever....
he should retire after the game. there’s nowhere to go but down.
Honestly, it didn’t look like the ball was going to roll over anyway…but props to Russ—for once.

What did I miss?
winning records follow good bullpens
Well I figured out that mmuch
winning records follow good bullpens
A HR ball by Bay landed on the top of the wall and rolled
After Maier got a little bit of glove on it. Gload climbed the wall LIKE A CHEETAH and scooped it up to stop a HR.

What the hell?
That doesnt even make sense, it must of been remarkable
winning records follow good bullpens
Well, I'll say this much
There’s at least one guy on the field who’s fielding his position tonight.
Of course, if I say “Billy Butler” nobody will believe me…
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Cheer up guys
It might be worth hanging around to catch another relief effort from TPJ.

I really hope they bring him out, might as well not waste anybody else

It will be interesting to watch the guys tomorrow

I hate going to games there when the yankees or red sox are in town
I just want to ask everyone I see one simple question:
Why are you a red sox/yankee fan?
Apparently.
There was so much cheering when the Sox scored all those runs I thought we’d teleported to Boston

Dear penthouse:
I met a wisp of a young blossoming girl named Caroline Meeber down by the swimming hole. Seemingly unaware of my presence, she glanced coyly over her alabaster shoulders as if to remain hidden from stray eyes. However, I detected a slight glimmer in her eyes, and a slight tremor erupted down her spine as she began to unfasten her blouse…..

I know at least one of them was a gut save
rocketed right up the middle

Does this signal the end for TPJ

Well, I'm glad Dave Owen made defensive replacements
to hold onto this 6-run deficit!
WHAT THE FUCK
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Has a bench coach ever been fired midseason for incompetence?
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG

I know Gload is a defensive dynamo in the outfield but
does Trey realize Smith is probably better in the OF than German and Gload

I expect Ross's momument to be paired with Brett's in the offseason, however

Yes,
I believe he has earned the right to be displayed carrying Bretts jock strap.

All we have to do is get the Sox to score -7 runs this inning
and we’re golden

what? peralta? I wanted TPJ on the hill....
by the way…another great outing for the destroyer of national innocence Rafael Betancourt…...gave up a couple bombs in .2 of an inning.

I'm glad Ryan's so intelligent
that he can’t figure out an “invalid school ID” would include “ones that have expired”
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
I heard Ryan on 810 today and he said he played ball in college at Minnesota.
Is that legit?
Or is he full of shit?
thats legit...
i even think he played in the minors…
