@nckdmss: What do you mean by missed? The video's above. Try a different browser if you can't see it. It's worth the aggravation.

@Grey: Si, Hippo's alter-ego showed up. UberHippo if you will. I blame it all on you. Ugghhhh, Cuervo Gold's the best they had.

@Grey: I had 3 of them after work, complete with Mariachi band spewing words I can’t understand *, in Edinson Volquez’ honor.

No salt for me, gotta watch the blood pressure, I might boil over.

* re: words I can’t understand
Tonight was eerily similar to a Dylan concert I once attended but didn’t comprehend. No comprendo? Si

Must be something he picked up while playing in Texas.

Thanks Grey, I totally need a margarita right now.

@Lollygagger: Lol, reminds me of a Daniel Tosh joke: Do you think someone out there has a case of nice Tourette's? You know, running around yelling out random compliments, "Nice hat! Sorry I have a disease." Also, why would anyone hang out with someone who randomly breaks into singing (in another language no less) while talking, let alone handle a weapon.

@Baron Von Vulturewins: @Grey: Really? I would have pegged her for more of a Mae West sort of gal... "A man with a hard gatt is good to find..."

@Baron Von Vulturewins: Supposedly Tallulah Bankhead managed her team, but it has been neither confirmed nor denied.

Perhaps they’re going to gun someone down at the plate.

What’s with the hat, Mr. 3000?

@Grey: Little known fact: She was an avid rotisserie baseball player. Her famed Girls in Glasses team whipped George S. Kaufman's The Men Who Came to Dinner and Robert Benchley's Benchley Warmers year in and year out.

One 3600 pitch season and he’s trying to impersonate Carmelo…

@Baron Von Vulturewins: But was her roundtable as well-attended as the fantasy baseball roundtable?

By: Baron Von Vulturewins

Baron Von Vulturewins — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 19:20:28 +0000

@Grey: And vice versa.

Reminds me of a good (and probably apocryphal) Dorothy Parker quip. Arriving late to a meeting, she said, “Sorry I’m late. I was f#cking busy, and vice versa.”

And that’s me quoting Dorothy Parker.

Now I’m really glad I left him off the Top 20 Risky Pitcher list…
