First comment!

Just have to say, I'm a grad student at UW. I saw Tim pitch several games here. A friend of mine grew up with Tim and played Little League with him. To hear this news now, I feel like Christmas has come early.

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 5/3
Anyone remember that Mitch Hedberg joke where he goes, "A guy asked me if I wanted a cherry. I kept waiting for him to say tomato, but I realized he meant a cherry, just."

That's what I think when I hear Pedro up to bat and Jon says "that's a split finger low and outside." I keep waiting for him to say "and Pedro swings and misses," but i realize he means it was a ball.

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 5/3
Likely a combination of the blowout and crappy weather.

I really thought we could pull off the comeback
I guess we should have given up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.
