1. Gamingboy Posted: September 30, 2012 at 10:51 PM (#4249610)Man: I'm sorry, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I'm the co-pilot.
Boy: You are Adam Jones! I've seen you play. My dad's got season tickets.
Man: I think you should go back to your seat now, Joey. Right, Captain?
Captain: Nah, he's not bothering anyone, let him stay here.
Man: But just remember, my name is Roger Murdock. I'm an airline pilot.
Boy: I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense. And he says that lots of times, you don't even run down to first.
Man: The hell I don't! LISTEN KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was in high school. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag McLouth and Markakis around the outfield every night for 9 innings.
I'm glad we didn't find out the answer over the weekend.
"We have this pamphlet on successful Angelos-era Orioles teams."
Well, I can make a hat, or a broach...
Yes, the thought went through my head as well. I’m pretty sure MLB has never released the full details of those types of contingencies, but it would almost certainly have to be an expansion-like draft. It would be an odd thing to do this late in the season, especially with all of the strategery that it could involve: teams would leave all their pending free agents unprotected, and the drafting team would be incentivized to loot their potential playoff opponents as much as possible.
Oh, and
There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?
I just want you to know, we're all counting on you (to beat the Yankees)
"Not exactly -- we're also out of Ivanon Coffie."
Prosecutor: Manny came unglued?
Thome: Oh, no. Manny was a rock, the best third baseman in the league. Endy got sick, all over Manny.
Prosecutor: What did Oliver do to Manny?
Thome: Nothing, Oliver was on the DL. It was Endy that threw up.
Prosecutor: Over Machado?
Thome: No. I don't think I'll ever get over Machado.
"And the Panda is getting larger!"
As I recall the old National Sports Daily had a cover story on the four major sports contingency plans. I don't remember how detailed it was unfortunately.
I read elsewhere that the plane emergency-landed and evacuated, and then everyone piled back on and finished the flight. I do not know if I would have gotten back onto a plane that was recently on fire, even if it was declared safe.
No shite, if I were in that situation, and made it safely to the ground, I would never, ever fly again, whether it was the same plane or any other plane.
There's not only a contingency plan, but Andy Van Slyke has written a novel about it.
MATT WIETERS: The strike zone is from the armpits to the knees only, there is no leeway in the strike zone.
JOE WEST: The strike zone is in the vicinity of the navel to the upper thigh or so.
MATT WIETERS: The strike zone is from the armpits to the knees only, there is no leeway in the strike zone.
JOE WEST: The strike zone is at various points between the neck and the shin.
MATT WIETERS: NO! The strike zone is from the armpits to the knees only, there is no leeway in the strike zone.
JOE WEST: Listen, Matty, don't start up with your strike zone shit again.
MATT WIETERS: Oh really, Joseph, why pretend, we both know perfectly well what it is you're talking about. You want me to have an abortion.
"What is it, doctor?"
"It's a colorful long flag that flies over center field, but that doesn't matter right now."
A fire on board a plane is not the same as a plane being on fire.
Really, you are not going to get on board because somebody accidentally lit a towel on fire?
I would just like to say that this was an interesting test for me. It turns out, I'm a good enough person that I was glad to hear the plane landed safely and no one was hurt, but not so good as person to be above hoping this would cost the Orioles some rest and make them more easily beaten by TB.
I know for certain that I would have said \"#### you" to anyone who even thought about putting me on another plane. I would have borrowed/rented/stolen a car and driven my ass wherever I was supposed to be. The only way I would be getting back on a plane in that situation is B.A. Baracus style.
Nope. Besides proving the idiocy and possible pyromania of a fellow passenger, those things are closed ventilation systems. Who knows if the burning did something nasty to the air quality on the plane?
Really, I just don't understand why they don't make airplane windows that are capable of opening. It would solve a lot of problems, and cause not a single other one.
Mitt? Is that YOU?!?
Only because you were on the plane when it happened? That's not logical. If it's the mere fact that you know that it can happen, then you should never get on another plane, starting now. If it was concern about the particular plane, then getting on another plane should pose no problem.
As a liberal, I find the entire making a mountain out of a molehill with Mitt's comments to be really annoying. His comments were 100% clearly meant as a joke, yet somehow some people are acting like it's a possibility he didn't mean it as a joke.
It's fun to pick on him, but it really shows peoples inability to get nuance if they watch that clip and for one second think he was being serious when he made his comments.
Logic has nothing to do with it. If I'm on a plane that goes in for an emergency landing I'm changing my pants and renting a car. You're 100% right, it's illogical, but I know myself well enough to know that there is no way in hell I'm getting back on that plane.
Maybe a sunroof would be nice also?
Agreed. Cheap humor on my part.
The starting lineup tonight, against CC Sabathia:
Pedro Ciriaco, 2B
Daniel Nava, LF
Cody Ross, RF
Mauro Gomez, 1B
Ryan Lavarnway, DH
Jarrod Saltalamacchia, C
Danny Valencia, 3B
Che-Hsuan Lin, CF
Jose Iglesias, SS
My automatic reaction was, "If I don't see the same crew get back on that plane, I'm not, either." But they did, and I did.
Her plane got like halfway through the flight, and then the tower told them to turn back. So they did; slowly and gradually turning around without telling the passengers what was going on. No one ever told them what was happening.
She disembarked at Bradley airport in CT, expecting to be in Poland. She was very confused that all of the signs were in English.
*Insert insensitive Polish joke here*
No it's really not. If a passenger decides to light up in the bathroom, because they can't possibly do 3 hours without their deathsticks, it would be technically accurate to say there was a fire on board the plane. A small contained fire in the kitchen area, isolated from any of the planes system, is not going to do jack. People are acting like this was an engine fire or something. Aerophobia does weird things to otherwise rational people I guess...
No they aren't. Planes suck in and filter air from outside the cabin through the engines during flight.
guh? dint you see how goldfinger got sucked out faster than sh-t through a goose?
Matt Wieters: A question - what is it?
Kurkjian: It's an interrogative statement designed to test knowledge, but that's not important right now.
Sorry, but this is nonsense.
"..because as you all know, there isn't any major league baseball in Miami."
If he doesn't want people to pick on him for that kind of stuff, he should work on his delivery. Maybe try doing some sets in smaller clubs, for practice, until he can come across as an actual human instead of some kind of freaky autistic robot-man.
