Around SBN: Newcastle Battle Injury Woes Ahead of Tottenham

Game Thread: June 4, 2008 - 6th Inning

Here you guys go.  Delete this when you get to it Jay.  I didn't want computers to explode.  Here you guys go.

UPDATE:  That's okay, I don't need to delete it, it seems to be doing just fine.  Not used to this character limit, though.  I'm telling you, there's not much dignity in it.

So anyway ... stay the course ... a thousand points of light ... stay the course.

Still wants three more words.  Damn it!

so it was scored indifference?

Then you have to take the base. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.

It makes very little sense… I mean, isn’t this EXACTLY the scenario where you would want to bring Bauer in? Even if he gets the yips, nine run cushion. I don’t understand this.

Hegan said “Choo” and “big league” in the same sentence.

he’s catching on

by hans on Jun 4, 2008 11:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

I’m not sure he realized it, but he did have an uncomfortable pause. At least he didn’t claim to have invented it like the Rangers’ guy.

by SuddenSam on Jun 4, 2008 11:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

So, not to relive history, but was was all the guffawing about on the radio at the beginning of that inning?

by aufrank on Jun 4, 2008 11:20 PM EDT reply actions  

hegan and hammy were told that 15 runs were the most in franchise history vs texas, and hegan said, ‘I hope that’s enough’. then they laughed and laughed . . .

by macasson on Jun 4, 2008 11:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

And there was some joke about telling the bride you hope it lasts. I didn’t quite catch it, but they were quite amused.

by SuddenSam on Jun 4, 2008 11:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

right, hammy said that hegan’d be the kind of guy whose first comment to a bride at her wedding would be, “hope it lasts”. then they laughed and laughed.

by macasson on Jun 4, 2008 11:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

keep it up, you’ve almost got a catch phrase!

by aufrank on Jun 4, 2008 11:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

no catch phrases for me, i fear. but i did just get a new block C hat! very happy about the purchase.

by macasson on Jun 4, 2008 11:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

I enjoy my block C hat very much. Only problem is, I’m in Cincinnati so I get a variety of reactions:
- Why are the Indians wearing that stupid C… are they embarrassed of Chief Wahoo??!?
- What kind of hat is that? me- its the indians. them- Since when is black one of their colors? me- no, it is navy.
- Go REDS!! Do you think Jay Bruce will hit 1,000,000 homeruns in the next two years? Adam Dunn sucks!
