GDT #37: May 12, 2014 Braves (Floyd) @ Giants (Lincecum)

[GovClintonTyree]

My fondest memory of Laird is him reaching down to grab some dirt before throwing out Dee Gordon in the playoffs last year. He is the biggest smartest old he coon out there. A little scrawny guy like Dee Gordon had no chance against Laird.

Did he eat it?

[nsacpi]

This team is like a binary star solar system. And I don't need to tell anyone who the stars are.

[nsacpi]

Did he eat it?

Well, I'm pretty sure he was reaching for the wings. And when he didn't find any within reach, he decided to throw Gordon out so the game would end. That's how he thinks.

[yeezus]

Laird 5th??? What?
But Fredi isn't a moron?

[nsacpi]

Laird 5th??? What?
But Fredi isn't a moron?

Hush puppy. Fredi knows Laird is hungry tonight.

To steal from Julio

[CyYoung31]

So Frank tells me to find a hole to put Uggla in and to keep him there, right? And six weeks later he tells me that he didn't mean a lineup spot. I mean, come on, Mr. General Manager! Don't be so damned cryptic next time.

Post of the thread so far. And we're off to a roaring start. It might be a good night. We are on the west coast, after all.

Gravity's Harangbow.

Consider the Walrus.

I know that Pastornicky is a white dwarf, and that BJ is a black hole.

[NinersSBChamps]

Ban?

[nsacpi]

Ban?

I don't think you fully understand the gravity of the situation.

Something about these west coast games...

Knew this would be a good night.

[nsacpi]

The west coast might tip over into the Pacific tonight.

Oh ****.

Astronomy jokes are fini.

Also, Laird is a gas giant.

Gives you plenty of time to get liquored up, eh?

[nsacpi]

Gives you plenty of time to get liquored up, eh?

Gives Laird and Harang extra time to uh prepare.

[Julio3000]

Gives you plenty of time to get liquored up, eh?

I didn't want to tip my hand.

But, yeah.

I think the key to that epic Dodgers series thread a few years ago was that everyone was a little tight. Except Temo, who was utterly ****hammered.

[nsacpi]

In honor of Laird and Harang, I'm going to go eat dinner now. Be back in time for the first pitch.

Back in the 80s, we had endless road trips to LA, SD, and SF. And Skip brought the hooch in an extra suitcase. Rowland Office called himself the "traveling secretary." Whatever that means.

He and Otis spent a lot of time together.
