Your “There’s No Crying In Baseball” Thursday Evening Open Thread

….Unless you’re a Baltimore fan.

Hello sportsfans!!!!!!  This is, temporarily at least…. tWBS  coming to you live…well sort of live.

Live-ish….?

 

That banner image up there was taken by none other than yours truly at Camden Yards two seasons ago, btw.  Not bad, eh?

Anywhoooo….

CervezaNiñoRoberto  decided to go watch baseball today, so I’m filling in the blank spaces.  But admittedly, he did most of the hard work down there further in this post before he left.  So we can’t blame him too much.  I know if I had the choice of working here and writing for you delinquents, or going to an MLB Opening Day Extravaganza?

Well, you’d get nothing and like it!!!!

Have fun Rob.

Now, on to Rob’s “hard” work.

(phrasing)

((all I’m doing is adding stupid filler stuff to entertain you jackasses))

    • It seems there some issue with contracts for players on loan from the NFL, to provide contract protection in case of injury.

You know, i usually talk ill of purdue, but female purduw fans sweater puppies in that commercial are always distracting

Brocky

Cmon purdue, foul

Gratliff

What a goddamn good last 10 minutes of a game

rockingdog

Overtime???? what happened?

Gratliff

Purdue forgot what sport they were playing for about 5 minutes

herodotus450

Yeah the last 30 seconds of game time has been pretty good.

litre_cola

This game has been bananacakes.

WCS

That wasn’t smrt.

rockingdog

LOL!!!!!

blaxabbath

Not recalling how my bracket looks stresses me out to hear other people talk about how the games affect theirs.

rockingdog

gooo tennessee!!!

Cheat codes in full force in Purdue-Tennessee

rockingdog

found a funny:
*pushes cart from 20 feet away into cart corral perfectly*
“did you see th-*wife is already calling parents to take the kids for the night*

blaxabbath

I’ve got no idea how Papa Murphy’s Pizza is a business.

Also, their commercial people are terribly annoying.

litre_cola

Are they the ones that give you the raw pizza and make you cook it at home?

blaxabbath

Yeah.

Doesn’t tombstone own that market?

litre_cola

My mom got one the last time I was in Phoenix and I was baffled.
When they got home I was baffled that they made an effort to bring home an uncooked pizza.
“So, you drove to get a raw pizza? You know you pick up cooked ones or even get them delivered”
Apparently I am not appreciative.

blaxabbath

Oh – so that’s the market.

Makes sense.

litre_cola

Sun City’s finest.

herodotus450

Maybe they thought that the pizza wouuld be cooked by the time you drive it home, in Phoenix.

Unsurprised

Because they take food stamps since the pizza isn’t completed.

Gratliff

Goddamn, Purdue. You’re not even invited to next year’s.

Surely, you knew this was coming

Like someone on a date with Rick Pitino, I never know when its coming.

Every Uber drivers’ dream is to play an Uber driver in a commercial; it’d be a substantial pay raise.

So it’s a good four hours drive to Vegas; less than an hour to fly. What’s the line for deciding to drive versus fly up for like a three day weekend to check out the town? We need to get a place either way but will need a car (ours or rental).

Thoughts?

nomonkeyfun

Is Blaxito going too?

Which would you rather do?
Having to deal with the joys of air travel with a little one, or driving for a bit longer?

blaxabbath

I think he’s not going on the initial fact finding trip but will likely join on subsequent visits.

Really, I don’t like all the waiting with flying or delays when the driving is pretty much a sure thing on time. Plus driving is easily $400-$500 cheaper. But maybe I’m underestimating the drive.

ballsofsteelandfury

I’d take the car. It’s roughly the same distance as LA to Vegas and the time is actually shorter by car if you factor in security.

Plus, no rental cost.

blaxabbath

I like that.

litre_cola

That drive is so bleak it is awesome. Although I always wonder what is going on in those mobile homes up in the hills in the desert.

ArmedandHammered

Leatherface’s children honing their skills.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s probably the best time in like 20 years to make the drive. Everything is really green right now.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Plus the time it would take to pick up and drop off the rental car.

blaxabbath

Yeah — no I want the flexibility. Plus when we take blaxito we can pack more of his crap in our own car.

Unsurprised

Drive. Flying into Vegas is always a shitshow.

Man — AAF is gonna fold.

Birmingham Iron, we hardly knew ye…

WCS

Looks like Steve Spurrier is going to have to go back to favorite hobby: strangling hookers with golf clubs.

herodotus450

But folding is the only way they’ll be become the Birmingham Steel

blaxabbath

Woosh.

God damn it.

Coke is also needed, but the AAF doesn’t pay enough for the players to afford it.

NSFDFO because of jump rope.

I’ve watched this for a while, and I still can’t find the jump rope you mentioned.

Not quite; with CTE there is usually something left.

Nope. Still not seeing it.

I just don’t know about this decision.

If she was hit in the head by an errant volleyball-well, this would be the best gif ever.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I’d prefer right on the clit, but to each their own.

Unsurprised

It’s weird. Nina Agdal hasn’t actually changed in her appearance, but yet I’m just not into her like I once was.

Gratliff

Bears just gave Jordan Howard to Philly for a 6th round pick

litre_cola

I don’t mind it. You?

Gratliff

Nope. I just hope they get around to an actual 3rd down back at some point.

blaxabbath

From the bits I saw, I liked Howard.

It’s a good thing I’m not a team executive; I’d be as bad as Bruce Allen.

Brick Meathook

I’ve had the 2019 baseball season on the tee-vee for five minutes now, and I’m already sick of it. It’s the ESPN announcers maybe, gushing over Ichiro. At least try to be interesting.

And what’s up with a woman announcer in the booth? Fuck that. If you don’t agree with me then fuck you. And don’t give me some bullshit “woke” reply either.

I mentioned this before and someone said I was the sexiest. I’ll admit I’m a good looking guy and pretty well hung but don’t get any funny ideas about me Mister Woke Guy because The Brick don’t swing that way.

Wasn’t that Brick guy a regular caller-inner on Jim Rome show back when I listened to it in the 1990s?

My brother used to do Rome faxes/calls whatever. I didn’t really get it.

@lousygreekhistorian

I thunk they was eliminated a while ago?

Hey I’m not lousy anymore, I got that all sorted out with some shampoo.

Charles “Super Diabetes” Barkley weighs in on the tournament. His comments are sponsored by the good folks at Morbidlyfat.com.

Unsurprised

Speaking of CB, it blew me away when I saw a gif of him and RuPaul and Nirvana because in heels RuPaul is taller than the 6’6″ forward from Leeds and then Auburn, Alabama. Although I thought he was 6’9″ until I just checked, but still. RuPaul being 6’9″ dressed as a woman is … fuck. If she were a biological woman I’d want to climb her like the Empire State Building.

WCS

Admiral Scofield is about to have his officer’s commission stripped at halftime.

I’m surprised someone hasn’t used the pain olympics with the St. Louis Style meme yet

herodotus450

Scotchy’s Ohio Senators basically playing for their playoff lives against the Montreal Habs-beens and it’s all tied at 1 in the second.

Gratliff

Hockey is real fucking dumb this season

herodotus450

Just wait until Colorado gets the numbers 1 and 2 picks in the draft….

Dolph Ucker

“Habs-beens?” This is a team that wasn’t supposed to win more than 20 games at the start of the season. They’re young and play hard have been one of the more fun teams to watch this year. 1-1 in the 2nd? Fuck yeah! And fuck the fucking Blue Jackets.

herodotus450

We were all laughing when they traded Pacioretty; we were all laughing when they traded Sergachev; we were all laughing when they traded… that one guy, to Arizona; we were all laughing when they traded Subban; we were all laughing when they picked Kotkaniemi.
I guess some of those moves actually worked out though.

Gratliff

Every team in the East save for the Lightning has been the worst team I’ve ever seen play hockey at some point this season. It’s really awe-inspiring to watch. Anyway, Tampa’s gearing up for an amazing 1 and out playoff appearance, and that’d make Habs the stupid underdog team to do it. They will then be swept by Boston and Montreal will burn and balance will be restored.

Dolph Ucker

Yeah. Maybe. So.

Redshirt

Jeez, even the XFL 1.0 was able to do a full season before it was Old Yellered.

Gratliff

Purdue looking to fully embarrass my terrible fucking bracket

herodotus450

If there’s less than one second left in a basketball half you should be allowed to just shoot it from the inbounds pass.

Gratliff

Two months from “Wow, this is a pretty solid offseason replacement” to “it is ded” is a pretty impressive crater job

scotchnaut

Seminoles playing scared on O. They depth gonna be the diff in the long run.

herodotus450

I see they haven’t taken my suggestion to replace the basedball with a fragile antique snowglobe full of Africanized fire ants…. Guess I won’t be watching this year either.

Dick E. Phuck

I’d get immense joy out of seeing Bauer or Pedroia being eaten by fire ants.

herodotus450

These Buffalo Sabres I call them the Buffalo Bills because they’re playing so uninspired.

ballsofsteelandfury

Question for you baseball fans: Do people in your cities refer to day games as “businessman specials”?

ArmedandHammered

Only at the Orchid spa.

Dick E. Phuck

Aw damn it, beat me to it.

ArmedandHammered

Yours was more specific and I actually like it better.

Dick E. Phuck

Sounds like a special deal on happy endings at the Orchids of Asia.

A Canadian sports channel just ducked out of Gonzaga/Florida State for a tennis tourney you’ve never heard of. [shakes fist]
