Ball lost in the ivy = ground rule double.

Yes. That is what ground rules are for.

Ball lost in the ivy = ground rule double.

Yes. That is what ground rules are for.

You have to admit it's pretty weird that it came up for the first time tonight.

I realize Kim Jong-Un is no Felipe VI or CJC as far as hot heads of state go, but ranking him dead-last doesn't seem objective to me. Baron Waqa (jfc he's a real-life Star Wars character) down?

I would irrigate the pampas of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, btw.

Plus the fact that she has had people murdered is oddly titillating.

It's cute when Tanner watches baseball.

Yup, first time ever. It's never happened since 1832 when it wasn't ivy, it was just a weed.

Why do I have to admit that?

Why do I have to admit that?

Because Thorn says so and little people have magic powers.

Congrats on the baby girl Gianmarco!!

You don't because it isn't. It just happened in the Cards-Cubs series for example.

You should post a Vine on this.

Might as well put a few sand traps and a water hazard out there too

They had a mountain in centerfield in Houston until recently. I understand being unique or having a novelty, but how did that make it through the first discussion much less MLB's approval process. "We're going to put a 30 degree incline - AND A FLAGPOLE - in the field of play because we don't think Ken Griffey Jr. gets hurt often enough." "Sounds good."

did this really happen? (or is this code for something else?)

Congrats!... either way.

They got rid of that? Did anyone ever run into the flagpole?

Balls going into the ivy is not a new thing, just to Cal Ripken and Ron Darling because they are dumbasses. "Well in Baltimore we used to have balls bounce on the warning track and go into stands." No ####, that happens everywhere.

There have been outfielders who tried the hands up in the spring when the ivy hasn't grown in yet and you can clearly see the ball sitting in the vines. I think I have seen the batted ball go in and two balls fall out of the ivy before.

Tal's Hill is back again for 2016, fyi. Would take too long for them to remove by the season I guess.

No one runs into the pole as far as I know, but there have been some rather hilarious "climbing" techniques while trying to catch a ball. Generally they're on hands and knees by the time they get near the pole.

It's pretty funny that the Cubs can't win even when Weird Al is pitching for NYM.

####. Ex wife just diagnosed with a tumor on an ovary Monday and went to Seattle Cancer Center for surgery yesterday. Haven't heard from her since she went in. She asked me not to say anything to my daughter so she can wait for pathology and talk to her. Roverkid is asking questions because she's supposed to be with ex tonight. Hoping for good news.

I for one would watch far more baseball if there were obstacles in the outfield.

good luck rover family- hoping for optimal results from here on out.

 

[General Malaise]

Bogart - I too rather like this Courtney Barnett. At least, two of her songs. Good stuff, will go for more.

Is that the "I want to go out but I want to stay home" song chick?

Correct. We like her, right?

 

[General Malaise]

Congrats on the baby girl Gianmarco!!

HAVE SEVEN OF THEM!

Sorry, brother. When is that trip to Portland again?

A family member of mine has said the same thing for years. And as I've found during the NL playoffs, to my surprise and regret, just because Cal Ripken doesn't know about something doesn't make it unusual. Now why Ron Darling, who made a few visits to Wrigley in his career I believe, acted like that was some new thing is another question entirely.

It's true. He didn't have the guts like GM to have twins.

1. Sheik went through some sort of odd transformation over the last 10 years that is completely unexplainable. I hope this is just some sort of weird shtick, but honestly, he's not the same funny, cool guy he was in 2003.

2. Tim considers "Blinded by the Light" to be one of rock's penultimate tunes.

3. Consider the sources.

4. ????

5. Profit.

I get Toto and Asian mixed up quite a bit. Both suck out loud, but I confuse them. Also, Kansas and Styxx are worse than monkey AIDS.
