tha pbdotc: oh he was in mint form
darvin ham: i thionk he was drunk. at least thats what i tell myself. makes me more comfortable about him staggering over and saying "I want to kiss you"
tha pbdotc: he kissed you too? hans gave him his only bottle of gatorade after the game so he could hydrate
darvin ham: dave had some clutch cracks though. the juice suits him
darvin ham: i sensed massive testosterone spike

darvin ham: speaking of game balls, that ball was the softest yet. i saw more bounce in a goat carcass in a game of Afghan Buzkashi i played in 02
tha pbdotc: are you doing a graphic of castro wrapped in a large intestine for your page?
darvin ham: i was in afghanistan for a story. it was weird. Warren was there
darvin ham: he said he was a "translator" but wouldnt let me take his picture
darvin ham: he also slept in a spider hole and tackled a spooked camel with his bare hands
tha pbdotc: did you see what spooked the camel?
darvin ham: i think i spooked it. i spooked a few people that day. it was hot so i was wearing my rasheed wallace bullets jersey and nothing else
darvin ham: i call this photo "fear pouch"
tha pbdotc: btw warren is a nice player ... i mean for a CIA agent.
tha pbdotc: HTat is one of my favorite pics!!!
darvin ham: he had that leaping snare late in the game
darvin ham: he must haave thought he was back playing cricket as a Grammar boy, playing Silly Mid-Off
tha pbdotc: i hear his nickname in astoria is OMnibus because he'll play any sport with a ball in it except waterpolo
darvin ham: its a real position, you can look it up
darvin ham: nice
tha pbdotc: you have to have a midoff when your bowler is spinning googlies
darvin ham: is that because of the jellyfish in the astoria pool?
tha pbdotc: thoooooose aren't jelllllllly fish!!
tha pbdotc: who was the guy with the 'red sox fan for life shirt'?
tha pbdotc: he made a nice, athletic play at first
darvin ham: hes no kathy
tha pbdotc: kathy hasn't been there lately she's working on her "Ripken Way for Girls" instructional DVd
darvin ham: i think we need a mascot.
darvin ham: people should hop on the comments board and suggest mascot names
tha pbdotc: agreed. best mascot name in Hans's judgment will receive 5 Verbungle Genius Points
darvin ham: and a bat boy
darvin ham: maybe Mathew Brodericks kid
tha pbdotc: how bout an Irishman named Clincher McDrinky for mascot
darvin ham: we wouldnt even need a costume
darvin ham: and we need to sell naming rights to the field
darvin ham: maybe to a pork rind manufracturer
tha pbdotc: we could change the generic scoreboard to an AD for rindz
tha pbdotc: and if you hit it the loudspeakers go OINK OINK each base as you touch em all
darvin ham: heres our mascot
tha pbdotc: Rindy
tha pbdotc: do you remember any other in-game feats?
tha pbdotc: i know Hussar made a good catch in right cuz i made the outdarvin ham: Danny made a fancyboy polay at short
darvin ham: in the tips oif the webbing and a spinning throw
darvin ham: he even looked like he had impressed himselftha pbdotc: indeed that was a good one ... he got a golf clap
tha pbdotc: that was just prior to the onslaught
darvin ham: and he think he had a tough grab in the field
darvin ham: there was a nice grab, maynbe by justin? at second
darvin ham: on a low line drive

darvin ham: big heart, long legs, comical play
tha pbdotc: i saw one go under the reggie mitt. but later on you threw a BB from dead CF right into my mitt at 3rd
darvin ham: im like a circus freak. not the kind of cirecus freak you want in the infield though
darvin ham: not like some circus lady with giant vagina hands
darvin ham: that would be better
tha pbdotc: baseball is like that. lots of ups and downs. i think harold reynolds once said, "baseball is a crazy game: you never know when you'll make an out and you never know when you'll bang an intern."
