FOUR bean balls so far?

 

[Mike Frezon]

Too many beans?

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

Mike is awake. I thought you had gone to bed early tonight.

It's midnight. Are they still playing baseball at this hour?

 

[Mike Frezon]

Just finished.

Would've been nice if it had been an hour or so earlier.

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

And the Dodgers had the time-of-day advantage. The game ended at 9 PM PDT but 11 PM CDT. Somehow they looked tonight like they weren't playing well.

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

Sounds like you want my vote to make you MLB Commissioner.

The problem with baseball is that there isn't enough infield action. It's all strikeouts and homeruns. Not enough base hits, bunts, and stolen bases.

Commissioner Dennis's thought.

Make the pitcher ineligible to field balls. This will force the catcher and infielders to deal with all short balls, while preserving the health of the pitcher. The pitcher will just have to stand there and watch the ball go by.

No, no, no! Pitchers are already given a pass on many fielding chances already! THey gotta field...and they ALL need to hit.

That's it. You're out as commish. I'm taking over in a bloodless coup.

Or maybe a blood red coupe.

I've been following (on and off) the Astros for most of the club's existence. Since the days of Bob Watson, J.R. Richard and Jose Cruz. They've had a number of teams over the years, mostly on the basis of pitching, that have competed - but this year's team had the best offense of any Astros team I've had the pleasure to watch. Pretty awesome that they finally (55 years after the club's founding) won the World Series.

I liked the original team name better, but I suppose that would not fly these days.

Just think, artificial grass came within a whisker of being called "Colt Carpet" or "Colt Grass".

 

[Steve Christou]

 

[Mike Frezon]

Who 'dat?

 

[Steve Christou]

Mike, that's this year's 'Mummy', Sofia Boutella. You may remember her from such films as Kingsman, where she had blades for legs and she played a friendly alien in Star Trek Beyond. She was last seen snogging Charlize Theron in the action film Atomic Blonde.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Thanks, Steve. I obviously need to pay better attention.

Atomic Blonde has been pre-ordered.

So which of these guys was famously portrayed by Alec Guinness?

 

[Ruz-El]

I'm pretty sure Alec Guinness never appeared as Cheech or Chong.

 

[Mike Frezon]

I'm pretty sure Alec Guinness never appeared as Cheech or Chong.

That's a rather elitist post.

 

[Ruz-El]

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

Hint: the guy on the left was the first president of his country.

 

[Mike Frezon]

President Chong?

I was wondering where everybody was at. Imagine my surprise to find all of you here in the Testy Area 51 thread!
