Liquid_tiny by Silverblood on Comment 532 comments

Since I don't even know what day it is, and Russ went to bed... and we've gotten close to 1,000 comments in the existing thread, I figured I should do this instead. And since it needs to be 75 words long, I'll babble so we can move here, since breaking SB Nation would not be preferable. I expect that we'd get peeved about that, since we would then have nowhere to do said babbling.

 

Post here, all.

Eat. Drink. Be Merry. But the above FanPost does not necessarily reflect the attitudes, opinions, or views of Purple Row's staff (unless, of course, it's written by the staff [and even then, it still might not]).

Nix

the fact that Nix is out of options doesn’t seem like such a big deal right now, does it? Seriously, outright him to AAA and let some other team grab him.

I’d rather see Quintinilla up here.

I am a Dbacks fan, after all.

But that’s a great compliment.

hahaah

it’s cool. I was just kidding. I wouldn’t mind having a Brandon Webb on the Rockies.

He wouldn't be as effective.

Webby’s signature sinker always breaks a lot less at Coors due to the thin air, which is part of the reason you guys are usually so good against him. Although now that he’s got that nasty changeup, he’s less reliant on the sinker.

NOOOO

What am going to do with all these "Jeff Baker for 2nd" bumper stickers?

Kip Wells bats after Holliday?

what kind of pitches do you think Matty is gonna see?

Fastball, low and in

on the first pitch. Which of course Holliday hits 500 feet. So essentially, he grounds out to the pitcher.

Here we are

at Barmes’ last year number.

Just make it stop.

You know what? I'll be less tired if I stay up all night.

So I’d almost rather they played 28 and broke the MLB record.

Peculiar question

do you have extensive experience Alt+Tab-ing?

by SlamDunkTheFunk on Apr 18, 2008 1:50 AM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I do, but Ted Leitner

provided me with that little nugget.

Cheater

I was about to be mildly impressed with the alt+tab+ability to hold basically a conversation in essentially a chatroom.

Oh, I've been doing some of that tonight.

But by now I’m just too exhausted to focus on more than two things (game, Row) at a time.

Yeah

All of my conversations have died down considerably once I made it clear I was part of an epic game/thread.

We just passed

the 600 pitch mark for the game.

Every day is a Holliday!

I volunteer

to pitch the bottom of the 35th. Brooklyn to San Diego, I can make it in time.

Holliday hit!

CBS Sportsline

Gets the most recent “FAIL” trophy for informing me that we are in the “Top of the 21th” Inning.

Who is awake enough to see what’s wrong there?

Insert clever and witty remark slash pun here!

SD announcer

“This game is becoming the poster child for bringing the DH into the National League.”

So, the game is a child… the child on the poster, and the poster with the child is about baseball, specifically the DH, and

I’m tired.

+1

SD announcer = moron

If the other 8 guys could hit, it wouldn’t MATTER what the pitcher does.
