You're welcome!

Oh, and it may just be me, but the Primer Chimp seems to be very interested in that turkey. Better warn Scooter's dad.

The Blue Jays have signed Alex Gonzalez, which should make them the easy winners of the race to play both Alex Gonzalezes.

In the same inning? Make it happen, AOBMOEMNLNRLOENLpolis!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Who would be on the "All-Turkey" team? I would have to think Jimmy Gobble is a shoe-in.

No kidding. I guess it's Scutaro or bust for the Red Sox, huh?

Turkey Stearns.

Turk Wendell

8. OCF Posted: November 26, 2009 at 08:35 PM (#3397375)

"Turkey" Mike Donlin, for sure - great writeup on him in the new Bill James Historical Abstract.

Seraching for "Turk" on bb-ref turns up Stearns, Donlin, and Wendell, and also these names: Frank Brower, Vern Curtis, Turkey Gross (just what you needed for today, right), Turk Lown, Lucas Turk, and Turkey Tyson. Searching for "Gobble" only gets you Jimmy.

Turkey Mike Donlin

(EDIT) Damn you, OCF.

Rube Waddell wants to know if he can pitch for that team.

11. A triple short of the cycle

Mark Fidrych.

Thanks to everyone here for entertaining and enlightening me on a daily basis.

12. The cushions are crowded for Edmundo

Trot Nixon. (Whatever a Turkey Trot is.)

13. OCF Posted: November 26, 2009 at 10:09 PM (#3397410)

Mark Fidrych.

And Birdie Tebbetts.

Of course, there's more on the table than just turkey. Pete Appleton, Felix Pie, Luke "Hot Potato" Hamlin, Bill Bean and Billy Beane, ...

14. Jeff K. Posted: November 26, 2009 at 10:25 PM (#3397416)

McGwire.

(Because his forearms are like Popeye's, and Popeye "yam what I yam".)

Teehee. *runs away to dinner and the UT game*

15. The Most Interesting Man In The World Posted: November 26, 2009 at 10:36 PM (#3397420)

(Whatever a Turkey Trot is.)

We have one nearby. It's a Thanksgiving footrace.

16. The Most Interesting Man In The World Posted: November 26, 2009 at 10:36 PM (#3397421)

I think Felix Pie can be on this team.

We have one nearby. It's a Thanksgiving footrace.

It's also the consequence of eating undercooked turkey.

18. Tom Nawrocki Posted: November 26, 2009 at 11:20 PM (#3397430)

Yam Yaryan.

19. The Well-Tempered Javier Vasquez (loungehead) Posted: November 26, 2009 at 11:37 PM (#3397431)

Sean Burroughs and Drew Henson, among others.

It's not a perfect fit, but they were pumpkins.

thank god or fate or whatever you believe in for baseball!!!!

21. Hugh Jorgan Posted: November 27, 2009 at 01:15 AM (#3397451)

I think Felix Pie can be on this team.

I would think Pie Traynor would be a better finishing dish?

And no, thank you, for all who post, comment, snark, argue etc on what is arguably the funnest site online.

Manuel "Potato" Cueto.

23. SteveF Posted: November 27, 2009 at 03:43 AM (#3397480)

There's absolutely no way that cover would fit over that turkey.

24. The Most Interesting Man In The World Posted: November 27, 2009 at 04:22 AM (#3397492)

I fully concur, and add that it's a wonderful work timesuck.
