Re: Seahawks vs Warshington Foosball Team game thread

What's so strange is that there have been numerous times where Russ was standing there all by himself, time to throw like today, and he does nothing.

Re: O/T: And Now for Something Completely Different

Looks similar to my first glove, which was a hand-me-down from my cousin. Not sure of the brand, but it was a Don Zimmer autograph model, which must mean I'm old :D

Re: 2020-2021 Hot Stove Thread

He could be our designated bunter. The return of Jose Vidro????? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: 🤦‍♂️ Jose Vidro was the cause of my first conniption fit. I went ballistic when they signed a weak 2B to be our DH. Didn't they follow up with Jack Cust? Cleanup hitter whose philosophy seemed to be "Got guys o...
