Never been a fan myself, but respect it.

It’d be nice if Gibson could give one more. But we know that’s not happening.

I’ll bet he hasn’t given the post season rotation a single thought, yet.

You're probably right.

I'm shocked.

Did it smell like they all had skunks in their cars?

Pretty much.  They were all out of their cars, dancing around the boat.  The other car was a fsmily with small kids, who kept their windows up and doors locked the whole time.  I was about 26 at the time; in fact, the O’s had won the ‘83 series just a day or two before.  The whole scene was very amusing to me and my friend.

Everyone likes the Dead until you ask them to name three of their songs.  Then you realize they just like the idea of liking the Dead.

For each home run we hit, I'm going to make a new cocktail I have never had before.

First up, courtesy of Gunnar: a Paloma

The Paloma was very tasty.  

I'm ready for a other home run though.

Urias almost had his first kill.

Everyone knows Ripple and Truckin, it's the 3rd one that's the bastard.

Bob Dylan? I dig him.  The Dead, meh. I used to work at this bar, The Laughing Pint on Conkling and Gough, and when I got off my shift, I'd throw a few bucks in the juke box, only to realize someone played like 5 Dead songs, and by the time we closed, I would never get a chance to hear the songs I played

Urías almost takes Muller's head off with that single. We've got a deep bench.

[Gurgi]

Why did Urias dive and give up the lane?  This is not the way Frank Robinson or Albert Belle would of played it.
