Not a lot of stirring...
Doug:
Colah me chagrined, Ahts, but I haven't heard of eithah guy the Sox acquired the past two days.
Arturo, the hot dog vendor:
You know that they say, Mr. Roy, ignorance is bliss.
Doug:
Give me the scoop. Easy on the onions.
Arturo, the hot dog vendor:
OK, this guy, Punto, well he can play 3 or 4 positions... but he can't hit from any of them.
Doug:
So that's a 2 year deal for an offensive bottom feedah?
Arturo, the hot dog vendor:
And this Melancon is a good, but not great reliever, but who's a pretty sure bet to be solid overall.
Arturo, the hot dog vendor:
The thing is, though, it feels like the kind kind of deal you'd make mid-season to shore up your pen for the stretch run not something you'd do in Decembah.
Doug:
Jeez, Merry Friggin Lucchinomas.
Yeah, these are the kind of moves that put the exit in excitment.

I read excitement as excrement - kind of works that way too.

I can't believe they didn't even bid on Darvish. Okay. That's a lie. I totally believe it.

It puts the creme in excrement.

"creme in excrememt". Ha!
Lactose intolerance, or Lucchino intolerance?

I'll take unexciting but solid moves for bit players over swinging and whiffing on a high-price flop of a big name free agent.
As far as Dervish is concerned, word is that he's the best pitcher in the Japanese league since Matsuzaka left. FWIW.

Rob, it's the foamy residue of the double stuff in Oreos.

BTW while the fever I heard earlier in the week passed, it was replaced with a second set of symptoms. Went to the doc today and I was sent to the lab and then home where I now have to do some additional, er, "collecting."
I feel fine considering I'm dehydrated and haven't eaten in 3 days.
Oh, and I like what they've done with Gatorade. Haven't had it in years and I don't remember it tasting this good.

So, hb, is the old 24-hour urine or are you storing stool in the frig? Personally, I always get a good chuckle when patients come in with the brown paper bag looking a bit sheepish

Especially when it tests positive for hoof and mouth disease.

"Looking sheepish..."
Didn't syphilis originate with sheep (and Yankee fans)?
