There is a suspicious lack of
Raffy Jr. in that picture.
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
Y'know the last thread brings up an important question.
Do White Sox fans like Hawk Harrelson?
The Ultimate Ned's Kind of Guy
Probably one of those things
where they can make fun of him but if someone who is not a fan does, they are torn to shreds.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
I don't know any White Sox fans
That is a good question.
I wonder how they feel about Steve Stone as well. Former Cub announcer can’t sit well with them.
Guess I should leave work now
so I can watch the festivities.

Kuo
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
I am recording the game
just to see a Leg Kick!
He better bat flip
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
Oh man
I would love to see the insane series of events that would have to occur for Kuo to get an at-bat. That would be immensely entertaining.

Am I the only one
worried that his elbow will explode on national television in an exhibition game?
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I was thinking about that.
1. Kuo totally deserves an All-Star spot…
2. …but Kuo should be kept as far from any game that he does not need to pitch in as possible. Surely there was some vacation spot in Maine where he could be spending a few days before the Dodgers play again…

I wanted to tell you in the last thread
that it is great that you are back. I know you haven’t been “gone”, but a more active Kavula makes for a better board.
Thanks
things have been especially busy at work lately. Things have calmed a little, but are gonna be nuts until Kavula’s Folly comes in early September. Then I’ll disappear again, and then I should be back up to speed.

AHHHHHH congratulations
do you have pets? And if yes, are they males?
I ask because I have 1 wife, 1 daughter, and 1 dog(female)
That is exactly what I have
The two male dogs have passed.
The daughter doesn’t live at home either.

Nope

However, I’m really not a masculine dude at all. I’m really a pussy. So I fit right in.

Satellite TV and the internet have totally ruined the ASG. Usta be this was the only place to see all these players, and they were all in one place. Now we can see whoever we want whenever we want.
The Ultimate Ned's Kind of Guy
I would say that is a good thing.
I would have hated to go through life only seeing Pujols 13 times.

Oh sure
Didn’t mean to imply it was anything but a good thing. What we have now is better.

From Tony Jackson's
article on Andre Ethier at the AS game:
When Ethier finally did arrive on ASU’s campus, one of the first impressions he made was on an incoming freshman from Northern California named Dustin Pedroia.
“He had this Jheri curl thing, hair down to his shoulders,” Pedroia said. “He looked like Pinky from ‘Next Friday.’ I was like, ‘Who is this guy?’ His hair would flip around in the wind. He wore it that whole fall, but I think he cut it for the baseball season.”

Thanks! The last few pounds have been the most difficult because I’ve been “good” for so long.
