I like Dipper,

At least better than I like Nipples (go ahead).

I kinda like the ring of Dusty Tits, though. Although it’d be nice to have a nickname I can actually use for him around my friends.

Can you courier me some meds?

Nip Nip Weiner

If he has as good of a month as BMac (assuming BMac pitches the rest of the month like he’s done the past few outings), do we pencil them both in the starting rotation next year? Milly, Pads, BMac, Scooter, Nip

BMac yes

Nippert no.

by DSheppard on Sep 3, 2008 1:41 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Agreed

but to give them some more seasoning in AAA you could roll with Nip as your #5 and then Harrison, hurley are the first to come up. Nippert’s got great stuff and if he can harness it he can be a valuable SP. Big IF, i know…

Silly theorum:

He works well with the new PC…he seems to have come around in the last few weeks. Keep Nipert, as he has serious talent, and can fill a few roles.

Knox must love his job.

He gets older and creepier, and the children stay the same age.

Probably not,

Or maybe he wouldn’t have fondled that football player’s manboob.

I'll just tell you from an inside source on the broadcast team...

they seem to feel the same way about throwing it out to Knoxie about the awkward hilarity of it all. I think they think it’s just about as funny as we do at times.

haha!

That guy sits behind us in our mini plan seats. He is hilarious. They decided to go to a Mariners game instead of the Sunday BoSox game. I am about 95% certain that’s him – we’ll ask on Friday.

He really loves yelling SALTALAMACCHIA but one time Laird was in and he was dissatisfied. So we all decided Laird needed more syllables, and christened him Gerald Bartholomew Laird. During that game he yelled it a LOT. We were just about CRYING.

Why ruin the fun?

That’ll get you kicked out. Meanwhile instead you could sit there and yell all kinds of random things about Jim Knox such as “I wish Jim Knox was my uncle!” and “I think Jim Knox was my priest when I was a wee boy!”
