Orioles jugger (not) continues apace
Mike:
Anothah day, anothah go ahead run by Dustin Pedroia.
Susan/Circle:
Second best WAR in all baseball at 5.1.
Mike:
So do you think Showaltah goes to bed aftah each meeting with the Red Sox with delusions of great gradiosity thinking, "Well, I guess once again we showed those cocky bastards… feels so good to win… How's that payroll working out for you Theo, you stupid rube?"
Susan/Circle:
I think Showaltah goes to bed each night thinking, "If I had a Real Doll, I'd name her Georgette."
And welcome back Carl Crawford! Can they schedule 18 more games against the O's?

Hearing the name "Georgette" I have just had a "Mary Tyler Moore Show" flashback...I am strangely aroused and creeped out at the same time...maybe it's because Circle said it.

Huh. I was thinking ol' Buck would name his real doll Gramma.

MTM Show. classic. The "Chuckles the Clown" episode is still an all-timer.

Ug, that Georgette woman's voice creeped me out.
I wonder if Showalter's Real Doll would have Larry David's Steinbrenner voice? "Listen Buck, we gotta dive in deep here. Deep deep deep I tell ya. Hey, what's this stain on my shirt? Is that man pudding Buck? I hate man pudding, reminds me of my childhood."

Wait...has Buck Showalter ever been to Chillicothe, MO?

Great strip, hb. I gotta say, that last night's win was almost impressive as last morning's win. They had nuffin' in the tank, and bashed the O's brains out. Sweet win, and the Rays [choked] did a Solo to fall farther back. 93.5% chance we get in the tournament at this stage.
optomisticly,

Love scoring 15 runs. Don't love giving up 10 so much. The Sox have great hitting but I worry about facing teams that have actual pitching.

Yeah, I know, we had a short bullpen last night, but there's been other nights that they've won with a score like that where that wasn't an issue.

The Orioles are bad. The Sox are good. Nuff sed.

Be the master of your domain.
Random memory: Had a teacher in H.S - last name: Bates. It was fun to drop the Mr. and insert Master when talking about him while pulling tubes.
