CANCELED
One's the cerebral straight man, the other keeps it close to the ground. A favorite of RR readers, the Banny and Hooch series didn't play in Peoria and has been canceled after just 3 airings, before we get to find out which one turns into a major star and which one is really a dog.
But the show goes on. Banny spins off on his own today to face the Arizona Diamondbacks in Surprise. His supporting cast includes Brandon Duckworth, Juan Cruz, and Yaz Yabuta. Comedy gold? Tune in and find out. Jon Garland is the special guest starter.

frts!
this is the second time. I see it as a promising sign for the Royals.

RR should let you do the Game Threads all season long.
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
Thanks
but I’m just a spring phenom. By April the league will have figured me out, and I won’t be able to adjust.
Anyway I only jumped in here because spring training is a little loosey-goosey, like A-Rod’s Texas years. Whatever Will wants to do is fine with me.
I am a little shocked, however that you let this slip by
Happy Pi Day to all of my friends on RR!!!
May the 3.14159 be with you.

Thanks. My wife, who teaches math, says she usually does something for π Day when it falls on a school day. Saturday, not so much.
I hope we don’t have to cover that kind of human interest story at RR, however. I have a hard enough time keeping up with the Bloomquist/Callaspo contest and the open roster questions.
Bloomy hasn’t gone stone cold at the plate yet, by the way, keeping hope alive that the brass will reach the wrong decision.
my daughter is a math major, so we have been indoctrinated
has your wife seen this?

Transcendental rap. Could be an early clue to the new direction.
I had not seen that. Thanks. I sent the link to Mrs. 2X2L.
I was briefly a math major
but i was seriously horrible at math
i was in calc and linear algebra, and i hit the wall
now granted, this is the VERY BEGINNING of the major, but i was toast
so i stuck with english, instead of english & math
It was long ago and has made very little difference since, but I did something similar myself, staying with the math somewhat longer. I used to teach math, before I met Mrs. 2X2L, but even that was long ago now.
dropping out of calc
after bombing both tests was the key turning point in my adoption of the humanities and social sciences.
Meant to get to this late yesterday
But — believe it or not — worked intervened.
A follow-up to yesterday’s time-waster.
This WBC game in Miami has about the same attendance as a Marlins game.
Kansas City Royals: your 2006 and 2007 NL Central champions!
Cuba is playing in San Diego right?
That doesn’t make any sense at all, why wouldn’t you have Cuba play in Miami. The stadium would probably be sold out.
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
given that Maste Huber is playing for them - of course!

Agh, Netherlands in another close game. They had a chance too

The ROYALS ARE ON MLB NETWORK TOMORROW!!! WOOOOOOOOOo
Bloomquist. God? Or just an illusion? You be the judge.
I need to find a place that has MLB network
My roommates hate baseball… I didn’t think about that when I moved in. Damn.

I think I've seen that movie 30 times
just one of those things that you watch while you are doing something else in the living room. Wouldn’t say I like it but definitely don’t hate it.

Good movie
caught it on a movie channel with some deleted scenes, including one that was gold…turns out Tom Hanks (in the movie) was gay…and his partner was played by Howie Long… didn’t see that one coming.

banny sounded
pretty dominant in the 1st
Mike Jacobs.... I hope your bat has as much lift as your hair does.....
The D-Backs are pretty much good for about 10K's a game
so they make alot of pitchers look good at times
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
Which is very promising
Because Banny is the type of guy who wouldn’t sound dominating even if he had you chained to a railing, bound and gagged, teasing you with a three tailed whip.
The Allard Baird of incisive internet discourse.
That Was Vivid

I think the Mets got the better deal in the Banni trade
at least they don’t have to pitch their putrid pitcher
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
I take back everything I said about Banni
he pitched around the 4 hits masterfully…lock him into the 5 spot in the Omaha rotation
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
Jacobs would fit perfectly on this DBacks squad
Big Swing lots of misses
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.

I didn't realize they called him up to Omaha
How many option years does he have left
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
pretty smooth outing for Banni so far
give up 2 runs then get a quick 2 outs. Efficient
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
OT
How do I simply cut and paste a photo from my computer to this or a fanshot rather than with a URL?
The General Theory of Royaltivity
Why are they stretching Banni out to the 5th inning
his normal starts only go 4
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
The Mrs. says
it’s just about time for us to make our occasional trip to the big city of Santa Rosa to lay in supplies. Why she likes being recumbent in all those supplies is difficult to say, but it keeps her happy, so I go.
So I’ll catch up with you all later. For those who are inclined, enjoy the Yabuta, middle or late.
gets "parachuted"

I'm Off To
Set up my equipment at the Vagabond; later.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
I think the Costa days are close
to being over
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
unfortunately
i predict he has a Ibanez lite career with some other team. with better defense obviously.

i stick by my prediction
costa should have gotten a chance a long time ago, instead of wasting time on guys like Reggie Sanders.
