Nationals vs Cardinals, Game 2

[Minty Fresh]

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the mound,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

AtBC wins the thread.

[mitlen]

AtBC wins the thread.

King Haren the IV, Part II

[Displaced Bucco]

Alas, poor Morse! I knew him, Haren:
a fellow of infinite power, of most excellent bat:
he hath borne the Nats on his back a thousand times;
and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is!
our warning track power rims at it.
Here hung that bat that we have cheered I know not how oft.
Where be your line drives now? your doubles ? your home runs?
your flashes of raw power,
that were wont to set Nats Stadium on a roar?

Displaced Bucco with a solid!

Let the Cardinals rip hearts from the breast;
And to the world introduce the meek
Who stand to inherit nothing;
With our bats turn'd to instruments of betrayal,
And baseball turning its sullen cheek;
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a gutless team.

I do not have the mechanism of which you speak.   Nay  ....

Nor do I, least not the most advanced of mechanism which doth seemest to be all the rage.

[mitlen]

I am hurt.
A plague on both our houses!

Then get thee to a nunnery....err, I mean a sports bar

Ou, a nunnery. 

[Displaced Bucco]

Ou, a nunnery.

Hooters!

Wainwright the Great, who 28ks has thee, thou hast brought the heat like none before, and none shall after.  Through starts of four.  None shall walk.

Fixed that for you.  Get with the freaking program SF.

[GburgNatsFan]

Hooters!

Never was there a poster who brought me less woe
Than the Shakespearean odes of Displaced Bucco

Aye, the game is up.

[houston-nat]

Aye, the game is up.

(Verily, a joke from last year's festivity.)

[Displaced Bucco]

Aye, the game is up.

Does this make mitlen the first to call "game" in Shakespearian?

[Terpfan76]

Thou doth calleth game... So let it be written!

May King Bryce the Harper garner his pound of flesh.

[pazzo83]

Aye, the hour when the match doth begin be at 5 past the stroke of midnight in the fair London city.
Five fair hours do separate ye English homeland from the Colonies.

[Displaced Bucco]

An ode to Espi...with apologies to MacBeth

Is this a fastball which I see before me,
The trajectory toward my bat? Come, let me swing at thee!
I hit thee not, and yet I see thee still.
Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To feeling as to sight? or art thou but
A dagger to the rally, a false creation
Proceeding from the strike zone into the dirt?
I see thee yet, in form as palpable
As this which now I must swing and miss.
Thou marshall'st me away from taking a pitch a foot out of the zone,
And such an instrument I was to use.
Mine eyes are made the fools o' th' other senses,

[mitlen]

Does this make mitlen the first to call "game" in Shakespearian?

Nay, that a' did not.

You have witchcraft in your lips.

-Shakespeare-

Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceive!
