Sorry, late to the party

I didn’t read any of the posts prior to this one. I did hold down z to skim through the thread. If I had time I definitely would go back and read it. There seems to be some good times being had by all. Also, I posted this on the old thread because I didn’t read all of the posts, which included a post by Grant telling us of the new thread. I’m smart.

Anyways, I just wanted to add:

It’s hot.
Winn’s the DH? Spluh?
Matt Cain’s not doing your Matt Cain love thread very much justice so far, Howie. I know it’s not all his fault, but man, what a bummer

that's the Omar theory

I’m not necessarily disagreeing with it either, but that doesn’t make it faster.

on the other hand, couldn’t the runner create a bang-bang play out of a non-bang-bang play by slowing down?

That guy is talented, based on the one or two times I caught MadTV ten years ago. I agree, the resemblance to Dwight is eerie.

I have a bad feeling about this

we are on pitcher #2 with 0 out and we all know that 3 pitchers in an inning = big inning… Please not 5 runs big.

Why waste a reliever in a 5 run game? Fucking retard. I really hope he isn’t here next year.
