The game ended like twenty minutes ago I think.

Third Monday Tuesday Movie Day: Out Of Context

June 18, 2019 hungry joe 68 Comments

What's your favorite quote from a TV show, movie, etc., that you often say in your everyday life even though it's completely out of context and will usually be ignored or met with blank stares? Naturally, when I thought of this topic awhile ago I had several examples in mind, but of course they've all left me as I'm typing this.

I do remember that many of these come from the Simpsons for me. One I can think of is when someone is trying to explain something to me, the progression of "Wha?... Huh?... Juh?" I'm sure I'll remember more about three weeks from now.

Also, hey, what have you been watching?

These darn wiener kids won't stop getting sick. I don't want to consider how little vacation time I have left...

2019 Game 71: Boston Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins

June 17, 2019 hungry joe 88 Comments

Here's hoping for one of those patented bounceback wins from the Twins today. Berríos is on the mound today, so hopefully the keys are in the hands of the right driver. Not that starting pitching has really been the issue lately...

Like Mike, I'm also wondering about this guy. I'm picturing him, after the day's work was done, riding off into the sunset pulling his smoker behind his horse.

I don't know about y'all, but I'm not minding this so far temperate summer.

Congrats to the Raptors on a great series and a great win.

Also, should the Wolves jump on the train and change their slogan to "We The More North"?

June 13, 2019: A Dream Interrupted

June 13, 2019 hungry joe 60 Comments

I’ve been doing this weird thing lately where I wake up like 5 times a night for no good reason at all. It’s very tiresome.

Remodeled basement. Same half-baked taste.

In Response to 2019 Game 73: Boston Red Sox at Minnesota Twins,
- sean: I appreciate the symmetry of the Red Sox scoring.
- CarterHayes: This conversation about the Iowa Basics test and the varying “softnesses” of pencils cannot be unheard.
- sean: Obviously had to end the inning with a double play.
- nibbish: Yeah, I’m out.
- nibbish: That pitch to Nuñez was quite the meatball.
- CarterHayes: Uffda.
- Rhubarb_Runner: Welcome to the bigs, Sean.
- brianS: Sigh. I’m out. Bring ’em back, guys.
- nibbish: I have to figure that the Twins would jump on it if the Giants offered Bumgarner for Arraez.
- Geoff: It was a great game in its time – with the item management and not starting with any kind of weapon.
- CarterHayes: You wonder if a hit like that is an out if Buxton is in center, simply because of how he influences positioning.
- nibbish: Man, that fastball of Poppen’s has movement to it.
- cheaptoy: The crew looks rather young. Maybe inexperience?
- Philosofer: Seems like the umping has been a bit inconsistent this series.
- cheaptoy: I wouldn’t have blamed him if he’d have gotten himself tossed there.
- Rhubarb_Runner: Strike #3 not really a strike
- CarterHayes: Fortunately, Rule 5.09(b)(1) & Rule 7.08 have been written down.
- Geoff: Have my internet points.
- Geoff: Good day for Mr Tortuga
- sean: DPoppen.
- Rhubarb_Runner: Somehow this staff was leading in fewest BB allowed.
- brianS: [tb]
- CarterHayes: Alex Cora would’ve gotten himself ejected for sure if they’d called him out for leaving the lane.
- Rhubarb_Runner: What if it’s an unwritten rule? They have those, I’ve heard (too many times)
- brianS:
- The Dread Pirate: Dallas McPherson
- Geoff: You silly man acting as if the text in the rule book matters.
- CarterHayes: The runner jumped out of the running lane. He’s out.
- nibbish: He really does. Good thing they turned the DP or he might have fainted.
- nibbish: There we go. That’s who I was thinking of initially.
- CarterHayes: Poppen looks like he wants to hurl.
- nibbish: Solid turn on the DP by Tortuga.
- sean: Gameday doesn’t even have a photo for Poppen.
- brianS: He was ripping up at Rochester. 321/373/552
- CarterHayes: Adam Dunn? More like Wily Mo Peña.
- brianS: fresh arm from the bullpen. Poppen fresh. (yea, I’m fishing; what’s your point?)
- CarterHayes: It certainly would not diminish the bone Big Daddy Reuschel has to pick with the HoF.
- nibbish: Wonder what the deal with Cave is. He was a plenty solid fourth outfielder last year, and this year, he can’t hit the...
- cheaptoy: That’s why they need to do it now before he’s just Adam Dunn.
- nibbish: I wouldn’t mind trading Sano, I just don’t know what the trade market for a right handed Hee Sop Choi is going to be.
- brianS: Sano strikes out? That’s something different of late.
- brianS: Big mistake.
- brianS: Yea, but is he a True Yankee? I think you are probably right, despite him being mostly a compiler for the last 4-5 years....
- CarterHayes: You’re right, that was Bartolo.
- brianS: Nice to see that A-Stud has his stud back, for a game anyway.
- Beau: I thought Colon stole that one
- Rhubarb_Runner: We’ll see if we can’t fix that for you…
- brianS: alright. I’m ready for Eddie to get back on the HR trail. That’s a pick to click.
- CarterHayes: I went to go put together the marinade for tomorrow’s chicken kebabs. I do not like this new score.
- CarterHayes: If he gives Johan the Cy Young he owes him, I could hold my nose.
