I don't know what this is, but I am strangely mesmerized by it.

[Guest]

i thought the same about the hendricks picture

[ctcf]

Is that Eli Manning's face?

[Cubswin11]

Bolsinger only averages 86 MPH on his fastball. But is striking out over 8 batters per 9 but also walking over 3 batters per 9. So he must either nibble on the edges or have good movement on his pitches with that velo.

Good call

That part wasn't in question. It's the why that matters. Does OleMiss equate Eli to a professor?

[Guest]

yeah i thought we all knew it was eli

[tfarks]

I'm bad with faces and names. Sorry everyone.

You don't remember how OMC loves the Giants? And Eli Manning is his favorite QB? OMC can't stop talking about how the Giants are his favorite football team. OMC can't get enough of the Giants and Eli Manning!

Anybody have a good guess on the weather? Really want to get tickets with my friends but I'm tight on cash and really don't want it getting tied up in a rainout.

I just assumed he was an Eagles fan (since they cut all the black players)

[PrimeTime]

Hopefully Hendricks doesn't throw BP tonight like his last start and pitch decent enough for us to get the W...10 games over with a win!! :beg:

Hopefully it's one of those situations where the rain just holds off until the late hours - that would be my guess.

 

The hourly weather looks like they should be able to get it in but if/when it starts they probably won't be able to continue. Ideally the whole system just stays south like it did the other night. I bet you'll be fine.

8.5 game lead on division.

holy crap

 

and that team finished 81-81

[Guest]

kind of funny how everybody talks about the 69 collapse so much and you don't hear a peep about that, relatively speaking

[RammyFanny]

Bleh. I think I'm going to just hold off on the tickets. Even if the game gets in, I've still got a 1.5-2 hour drive back that with my luck will be filled with hail.

 

That said, now that I'm not going, I feel confident in calm skies and sunshine because weather.
