Never heard of this Fish Tank before, now I see it twice on Hot Topix. Pinata or prize?

And looking at the last posters, Shooty is, indeed, Legion. And I abuse commas.

Enjoy nerds!

And yeah, I'm having my morning coffee flurry of posts. Sorry!

Do people sigh on this site more than they used to? It seems more common. Tripon does it. Vaux did it in that Fish Tank fight thread. Is it an internet meme?

I don't think people sigh more on this site, but they overuse the word "meme" to such a degree that I had to point it out.

It feels to get out of the rain.

That is awesome. It reminds me of the "How I Met Your Mother" where Marshall discovers he has free credit at the lady who makes charts and graphs, so he makes charts and graphs on everything in his life.

I agree, Cold Prosimian. I Just couldn't think of a better word at the moment.

BA transactions are up - includes lots of draft signings.

Interesting, a friend emailed me that today. Maybe you're him!

Fairly easy trivia question:

Who are the only two men inducted into Cooperstown as MLB managers who never won a World Series ring in their careers as skippers?
   13. Designated Sitter (GGC) Posted: June 24, 2009 at 06:25 PM (#3231366)
Ned Hanlon and Harry Wright?

Al Lopez
?

Ned Hanlon and Harry Wright?

Er, better make it since 1903. Selee, Hanlon & Wright didn't.

Al Lopez
?


Yup on Al Lopez. The Indians lost the 1954 Fall Classic to the Giants, and the White Sox did likewise to the Dodgers five years later.

One down. One to go.
   16. Designated Sitter (GGC) Posted: June 24, 2009 at 06:39 PM (#3231388)
W Robinson.
   17. Dag Nabbit and his imaginary friends Posted: June 24, 2009 at 06:41 PM (#3231391)
Yup, Wilbert Robinson.
   18. RoyalsRetro (AG#1F) Posted: June 24, 2009 at 06:42 PM (#3231393)
Indians acquire P Jose Veras from the Yanks for cash.
   19. Designated Sitter (GGC) Posted: June 24, 2009 at 07:09 PM (#3231434)
I forgot (if I ever remembered) that Selee was in the HOF. Robinson was easy, but I could only pick two, so I got confused.
