Another rule about baseball -- If the two teams have the same number of runs after nine innings, they play extra innings until one team is ahead at the end of an inning. In other words, no draws.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yay for MM awesome phone interview skills. Tons of interview~ma for his Monday in person interview!
Um, I apologize in advance for the asscaps...
AM I THE **ONLY** YANKEES FAN IN HERE?!?!
:: sigh ::
Guess I gotta start a list like TheAdorableOne has.
At Fenway, also, it's perfectly acceptable to shout out "Yankees Suck!" at any random time, even if they're not actually playing the Yankees that game.Hil? Really? Aw man. Yes, Hil is on "the list".
DH makes me shout "Yankees Suck" at random intervals when we're not watching baseball, so I'm fine with that.Jars? You too?!? I feel betrayed. :: sigh :: It's tough when your team is the Evil Empire. I had one computer buddy look at me astonished when he found out I was a Yankees fan and say "that's like saying you love Microsoft! I thought you were a Mac-Man?!" Cracked me up.
Jars, you can talk during the game, no worries. Careful of some of those crazy BoSox fans. They are the rudest in all of baseball (followed close behind by the Yankee fans). Some will get mad at you for talking. Just smile, and tell them to bugger off.
Vortex, that was a fab basics of baseball!
I really wish I had heard the whole LoTR/Baseball thing. Sounds like it would have been divine.
ION- in an effort to log on to Twitter more often to keep up on Shir posts, I've added a bunch of y'all. Same screen name as in here.
IOON- have yet to find any motivation to do anything at work today. Is it Friday yet???

Our wings are not tired.
So Vortex, did you say you volunteered to take the surly teen?
I like the Yankees. I did grow up in NY state and most of my family are fans.

No, I offered to help dig the hole to bury him in :)
But if he would like to visit DC, he's welcome to my couch for a few days.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was born in and currently live in NYC, my father is from Boston, and yet I have no strong feelings about baseball at all.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hil? Really? Aw man. Yes, Hil is on "the list".
Hey! No! My comment was mocking the Red Sox fans!

Crackerjack sounds AMAZING.
It is! It used to have more peanuts and better prizes, but its still pretty amazing.
Did we mention the prizes?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
They are the rudest in all of baseball
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
