I take it that the emphasis was to indicate he will still be in tutu....just that it won't be orange? (When thinking of Big in a tutu, the color rarely, indeed, registers )

O,
Back to pink!

O,
What I meant was scouting reports by PG and BBscout advise looks better in pink! Besides, he informs me he feels more comfortable in pink!

Big, Pretty In Pink....that's just wrong

TR, that is either the perfect example of not letting um, er, "problems" impact your attitude toward the game, or being of That Certain Age when you forget what just happened. You grounded into a DP to close out the bottom of the 7th. Tell your folks Coach would certainly like to think we'll be batting around in the 8th...but her breath is not, as they say, held....
ORLANDO
just tell me when I bat again--my parents are verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry old
just tell me when I bat again--my parents are verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry old
rz1 just back from congressional hearings, the sample was clean, and he is now well rested and available
Orlando and TPM: Please PM your 8th inning lineups, the dice will roll at approx. 2:00 pm West Coast Time.
Done.

Where it began
I can’t begin to knowin’
But then I know it’s growin’ strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who’d have believed you’d come along
Hands, touchin’ hands
Reachin’ out
Touchin’ me
Touchin’ you
Sweet caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I’ve been inclined
To believe they never would
But now i
Look at the night
And it don’t seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin’ runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I’m with you
Warm, touchin’ warm
Reachin’ out
Touchin’ me
Touchin’ you
Sweet caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I’ve been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no

Good times never seemed so good
I’ve been inclined
I believed they never could

Love the half-inning entertainment!
Yikes, I missed the 7th inning stretch.
Did Bullwinkle sing/croon or otherwise bellow God Bless America in lieu of Kate Smith and/or Harry Carey?
Or is Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline after the 8th the HSBBW traditional "Moose" break.
Seeing we are in the 8th, I am a little concerned about beverage sales. Hope there isn't a closure time as my client, justbb seems to be "absorbing" those cold ones" in some abundance. Want to make sure my client is well taken care of because I would "nevah" touch the stuff.
Hope this game doesn't go into extra innings because I have seeds and peanut shells all over the office and the service says they won't continue to vacuum them.
Just in case though, I am bring a new, fully stocked cooler for tomorrow...assuming Mr Moose permits the fans to bring their own.

I've got my lighter lit and held high and my keys are a jangling (sure hope these are allowed in the dugout)...
Please don't start the ninth inning until I've had the chance to run by the pharmacy....between a one-run game here and the Divisional Series starting....I'm NOT going to be easy to live with!

Big are you tired? You want to close or should I put in rz1? I am thinking I might have to leave you in, son't know what tomorrow will bring. Coaching decision , you stay in, pink, orange, green, blue whatever color tutu you wish! Just bring on the heat baby!
Fungo,Its and Central, good job.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuh???????........ did I forget to groom the infield during the 7th inning scratch?
Hope this is not grounds for "protest" should one team or the other end up on the short end of the scorecard. My bad!

All the cooked vittels over here in the concession stand is marked down to half off. We still got a few dogs, two burgers and some stewed mystery meat the dog brought home yesterday. (..they tell me it tastes like chicken...)
Also, last call for cold ones. (Don't blame me... The Commish don't want noone drivin' under the influence after the game.)

Gotta be Justmom. Walk-off homer! Great managing job by Orlando.
MVP? Hmmm....way too much of a team effort to decide. Chill's pitching? Justmom's walk-off? Justbb's entertainment value? How about a team vote!
Hooray O's
And Hooray Cardinals....Izzy do make it interesting, don't he, BoachB25?!

I believe justmom also singled and doubled. 5 rbi. 2 runs scored.
Unless somebody successfully bribed the commish justmom has got to be the MVP. I can hear them chanting in the stands! MVP! MVP!

Dear Moose,
If Justmom gets MVP (which would be the right thing to do IMO) - I am flushing your Cohibas down the toilet, giving you directions to the Lower East Side Bowery instead of Columbus Avenue - and cancelling the AMEX platinum card.

Yay, O's!

Final Stats to be posted tomorrow.
TPM,(and the rest of ya'llins)
Before ya get tooooo involved in "munching goodies" I feel that I should inform you that one of the reasons that I was remiss in dragging the infield during the 7th inning scratch was because a couple of my most highly trained armadillo/grounds-crew were missing.
I hate to cast aspurgions(sp)(or even bait) but did you ever stop to think why the food vender(FLoridaHokie) would be willing to sell for such a low price?
If the meat ain't costing ya nothin', ya got pretty much PURE PROFIT!!!!!
Anyway, I think either alligators or armadillos have 7 different "kinds" of meat on their skinny carcasses.... hope that makes it taste better.
Congrats to the winners and a super congrats to the "Long-horned, furry fellow of the North", BULLWINKLE, for running such a hottly contested event with minimal confrontations(except for those who will be in the restrooms after taking advantage of the WAY TOO GENEROUS offer of reduced-cost vittles towards the end of the game.

The merlot (and just about ANY other varietal that tickles your fancy) is on me (all over me, actually)...
We'll get 'em in Game 2...put me in, coach!!

To All,
TPM would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the o's for winning the first annual HSBBW Game! And my congrats to Orlando, a great manager.
TPM is very proud of the efforts of her players, despite having to lose Tx for testing positive for HRT. I guess we will never know if he could really get the job DONE!
TPM hs promised family that this will be her last game, she is now going to be head of player development (an inside job). The commish has promised a really nice salary and her first trip begins tomorrow to Clemson, SC to go visit a REAL player.
MNmom, please bring back around 5 bottles of zinfandel.
OPP,
Field was a bit messy, but we know you had other games to attend to!

Thanks to the Bull for a very diverting week -- while my stats do not reflect this, I have enjoyed every minute (although my final out was more ignomious than I would have preferred)...
Is there a series -- or even a rematch? I'm happy to play or even keep stats. I'm just here to help the ball club...
P.S. JustBB - here's what I take from your last post....
Blah, blah... blah, blah, blah, blah....

Commish, GREAT JOB OF RUNNING THE GAME! THANKS FOR THE TIME SPENT!
ORLANDO, I mentioned to my class that the final score would be 8-5. Everyone laughed at me. IS THAT STRANGE? When asked why, I asked them if they knew that IZZY was allowing 2+ baserunners this past month and a half per outing? SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WITH THE REDBIRD BULLPEN!

Coach, losing Flores was a Big Deal, but that seems to be our lot in the postseason -- last year Carp, 2002 Rolen, 2001 Mac, 2000 Matheny....we need to find that guy (probably a Cubs fan ) with the voodoo doll.
As for Izzy's performance; well, that was our Izzy. His stats say he's good, but his stats should include antacid sales in STL. It's as if he can't pitch without the game on the line.
By the way, as you're closer, could you please stop by the booth, slap Joe Morgan, and say "Orlando says for you to get over yourself!"
