@Justin_Schmidt1 Truly a moment in time.

*takes bite of Pringle* yes *nods at date then waiter* we'll have the tube

[Fr. @frjones_]

@Justin_Schmidt1 That’s why having the family sing it together every Thanksgiving is so important.

@weekendsofsound Machado looks to be on a pretty clear Hall path, no?

[Fr. @frjones_]

What if everyone still raced home on Friday night to watch Steve Urkel?

[Fr. @frjones_]

@weekendsofsound Do you know who led MLB in strikeouts during the 2000s? Randy Johnson. Do you know who was a close second? Javier Vazquez.

[Fr. @frjones_]

@weekendsofsound Not a huge Javier Vazquez fan, he was an epic bust in NY, but isn’t it wild that he never even made it on the Hall ballot. These numbers deserve an arbitrary debut at least, right?

[Fr. @frjones_]

@weekendsofsound Deserved a much longer look. A heck of a peak overshadowed by the era in which he played, but he started flaming out at 34 and was pretty much done by 36. Ultimately Hall of Very Good, but he’s one of my guys for life.

@antiquarian_atl How can I help

[Fr. @frjones_]

@weekendsofsound Speaking of Mussina, it’s kinda nuts that he lingered on the ballot for so long. He only received 20% of the freakin vote on his 1st ballot in 2014. Lack of hardware sure. But these are first ballot numbers, right? (not necessarily a knock on Glavine)

[Fr. @frjones_]

@weekendsofsound Yeah but when it goes, it goes. I say no. Maybe he just squeaks by Mussina. But I don’t see him getting to 280.

[Fr. @frjones_]

@weekendsofsound Doesn’t look like Greinke will eke it out to 3000 Ks huh. He only needs 21.

[Fr. @frjones_]

@antiquarian_atl !!!!!!!!!!

[Fr. @frjones_]

@antiquarian_atl Soooo have you had a chance to watch the unrated cut of THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU? You’re crazy if you think I’m gonna let this thread just peter out.

[Fr. @frjones_]

@weekendsofsound Edgar *is* in the Hall. He went in the same year as Baines.

[Fr. @frjones_]

My question remains.

[Fr. @frjones_]

Are Peter and Kate McCallister ever made aware of the Wet Bandits? There must have at least been a crime scene investigation after the events of the first movie, especially since every house on the block was flooded.

[Fr. @frjones_]

@weekendsofsound Does Baines get to claim revolutionizing the DH though? That’s gotta be Edgar, right?

[Fr. @frjones_]

@weekendsofsound @SC_Cuban_B On that note, you guys remember Game 5 of the 1997 NLCS aka the Eric Gregg Game?

[Fr. @frjones_]

@weekendsofsound This is… quite the take.

[Fr. @frjones_]

@weekendsofsound @notgaetti May never get over the unintentional timing of this tweet. Man what a loss.

[Fr. @frjones_]

@weekendsofsound @notgaetti Ever heard of RICKEY Henderson?
