If this new thread breaks the game, it's Natto's responsibility to make one that works instead. So if he doesn't, you can just blame him and not me.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
From the Onion sports story entitled: C.C. Sabathia, Prince Fielder Keep Imagining Each Other As Giant Talking Hot Dog, Hamburger
“This has to end,” Yost admitted to reporters as the Brewers readied themselves for a four-game series against St. Louis. “We can’t have players trying to eat one another, even in Milwaukee, so we’re taking steps. We’ve already talked to both players, explaining that while they are big, they are not food. And as a provisional measure, we’ve gotten Ray Durham from the Giants in the hopes that both Prince and C.C. will think he’s a giant ham and leave one another alone.”

Not exactly a general question
the Douchebacks announcers are being total fucking assholes about the PG they’re watching.
I would be an asshole about it if it was the Dodgers, Yankees, or Red Sox.
Otherwise I’d be cool.
Trent Kline: Decentish. Also, my website is called ChatterBalks Dot Com and on it I make jokes about things.
I hope this was the last inning
96 pitches. Don’t stretch it, Bochy.

Adopted Giant: Daryl Maday - Just got promoted to CT, and is now sporting a gleaming 8.03 ERA.

If it was Brett Favre throwing a perfect game, ESPN would have switched to live coverage by now.
No, my Crazy Crab bobblehead is not for sale.
The other night while the Giants were getting slammed on TV we were playing the Favre game with our transistor radio.
1. Put station on ESPN radio
2. Turn radio off
3. Players guess how much time will elapse between radio on and the first mention of Favres name
4. Turn radio on
5. Loser takes a drink/takes off a piece of clothing/gives $$ to the winner…. whatever suits your fancy…
Similar to Frasier’s Antiques Roadshow – veneer game
Julian Tavarez?
