Due to intense BatSleepiness and the whole West Coast game thing, BG won't be doing game recaps until Wednesday when she'll do a series round-up. In the spirit of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, though, she would like to ask her readers to submit Pirate thoughts and dialogue for the players during the game. BG humbly submits the following:
No fancy pirate captions from me, but click my name for fancy, ergonomic pirate keyboard.
Posted by: Will at September 20, 2005 01:54 AMI love Bradke. I really do. But four runs in one inning? This is one loss you kinda actually deserved. And I wouldn't feel bad for you, 'cept I look at all the losses you didn't deserve.
Ah, well, we did manage to get close in the bottom of the ninth, and that made me happy.

"The A's score be high, says I."
Posted by: brent at September 20, 2005 07:51 AMI dont have a comment - but...from the strib:
The Athletics will give out Bobby Kielty troll dolls Sunday. Kielty, the former Twins outfielder, has let his red hair grow like weeds all season.
I hope someone can get a picture of this!
Ok - back to captioning =)
Again - but I don't wanna be a pirate =)
Much Love
Wonder Woman

My humble submission:
"Arrrrrrgh, Morneau and Cuddyer, that be a hearty broadside!"
Posted by: BostonPhil at September 20, 2005 08:53 AMGardy as JJ grounds out in the 8th with the bases loaded: "Arr, kick over me grog and spit on my salt beef!"
Posted by: Jeb at September 20, 2005 09:27 AMCaptain Jack Sparrow: It was a good try, mate. (squinting eyes) You gave one for the team.
Bradke: Take this medallion back. It was affecting my circle-change. Where did you say you got this, anyway? The Ship of the Living?
Sparrow: No, Ship of the Damned.
Bradke: They don't sound anything alike.
Sparrow: Some winsies, some losies, aye?
Bradke: I blame your medallion. And James Baldwin. Where is this conversation going, anyway?
Sparrow: I don't know mate, it's your dream.

Posted by: Captain Jack Sparrow at September 20, 2005 10:10 AMAy, Jonesie, those at-bats in the 8th and 9th! Was it scurvy, you noodle-swinging and rally-killing soup-slurper? Go suck limes, m'boy.
Posted by: RonDavis at September 20, 2005 10:25 AMPirate joke!
A pirate walks in a bar. He's got the steering wheel of a ship attached to his pelvis. He flags down the bartender...
Pirate: I'll be needin' a pint of yer finest ale
Bartender: What's up with the enormous steering wheel attached to your thingee?
Pirate: Arrr, it's drivin' me nuts!
1. Yarr! Romero shan't be throwing with his hook!
2. I'll send ye landlubbers to Jacque Jones' locker!
Another pirate joke:
A pirate walks into a bar. The bartender asks him why he's got a parrot on his shoulder.
"I be a pirate!" he replies
"Well, if you're a pirate, where are your buccaneers?" asked the bartender.
The pirate replies "Yarr! They're underneath me buckin' hat!"

Posted by: annun at September 20, 2005 02:24 PMHa! On the front page of ESPN.com, they have a poll asking out of the Indians, Bitch Sox, Yankees, and Red Sox, which one will not make the playoffs. Two states had their residents cast the most votes for the Bitch Sox: Minnesota and Illinois.
Posted by: Will at September 20, 2005 02:45 PMWhat?? That doesn't look like Bobby to you?
Posted by: twink at September 20, 2005 02:49 PMGardy to Morneau:
"Ready canon, me lad. Give 'em a broadside...FIRE!"
pirate joke:
what's a pirate's favorite mode of transportation?
a CARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
he must be on the way to that movie...that one that's rated ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
Posted by: capt beckasani at September 20, 2005 05:25 PMAfter readin the joke about steerin' me nuts... me saw the punchline was shipwrecked... Yarr, curse this hook and keybarrrrrrrrrrrrd.
I wonder if Garrrrdy and Ullgerrrr know there's a mutiny afoot? Yarr, the offseason squalls could be mighty nasty.
Posted by: alskntwnsfn at September 20, 2005 05:26 PMI was just looking at the Bradke pic and it occurred to me that some of you might like to have the real, honest-to-gosh old-time sailors' recipe for grog.
So.
Start with one bottle ale. Decent ale--think Sam Adams or similar. A good lager will do in a pinch. (Do not use a barleypop, by which I mean anything resembling Bud, Coors, Miller or Pabst. This recipe requires BEER. Grog made with stout, while non-traditional, is also quite tasty.)
Pour ale into the receptacle of your choice. To the ale, add:
-- 1 jigger (1.5 standard shots) lime juice.
-- 1 standard shot black rum. (BLACK rum. Also called "dark" rum. Do not use spiced rum or plain rum. Infield has been down that road personally, and lived to tell you that it is not good.)
Drink up, me hearties--yo ho!
