Fuck these infield hits. They're like mosquitos.
Trivia question answers? Kent, Bagwell....Alou? Cammy? EDIT: Not Ken.
Bidding has opened on Milo's package.
I didn't think it was possible to unintentionally walk soriano on 4 pitches.
Did everyone make plans for after this game or something? Moving FAST.
I wish they had an Yvette package. Bidding would start at 2 large.
Who the fuck is that and what has he done with Lance Berkman?
Give me a break, Miggy.
Did Patty just say that you typically spend $1900 on your kid's birthparty party?WTF? Am I that out of touch?
Alright boys, got through the heart of the order in the 8th. Got the bottom up in the 9th...let's score a fuckin run!!!
HH, what pitch did Fuku just strike out on. Gameday says fastball, but I thought the bottom dropped out of it. Clocked at 89 MPH so fastball makes sense, just didn't look like one to me.
I'm charged with drafting questions for a bar's trivia night tomorrow. Any one have any favorite general trivia questions? Coming up with 45 questions while dicking around is a bit more tedious than I imagined.
Nice job, Geoff. You, too, Blum.
I love Geoff Leach. Every day.
Any particular topic?
Why thank you, sir.
It all works. Throw some obscure science shit my way.
Nice hustle Miggy. It's redemption time for Lance.
Which is heavier, air or water?One of my favorite baseball trivia questions is "what was the fist team to win a World Series after relocating the franchise?"
Shit, is Whitey Herzog in our dugout tonight? This could be magical.
That's a good one. The Dodgers?
Yankees.
Centerfielder was WAY too deep with the winning run on 3B. He's got to be at LEAST 5 or 6 steps closer. That ball should have been caught.
So what's the trick?
They started out life as the Baltimore Orioles in 1901, moved to New York in 1903
I did not know that.
Me neither. I like it.
I'm only thinking of boring science questions at the moment. Maybe I'll think of some tomorrow at work.
Those are good.I fear that most of my questions so far are obscure. I need to dumb down a few.
I'm still like which is heavier, air or water? Most people go "huh?".
How much water and how much air?
Here's a few general knowledge ones that are good for bar night :

A couple of my favorites from bar trivias (since I knew the answer):What is Ringo Starr's given name?
In what city is Oregon State University located?
What's the 10th rule of Fight Club?
What have you got so far?
Getting non-scientific drunks to think about science is always a good time.
Elanor Roosevelt was a woman: true or false?
In what city is Oregon State University located?What's the 10th rule of Fight Club?
Corvallis
Good point. May need to rephrase that one.
So follow up trivia: Is Texas the only country to give up it's independence to join the United States of America?
Hawaii.
What French fashion magazine was created in the 1940s?
A variation of the same question is:The Battle of the Alamo was fought between what two countries? The answer of course is only one country: Mexico. Tejas was a state in the country of Mexico. The Battle of the Alamo was fought between two different Mexican citizens. It was after the battle of San Jacinto that Tejas won it's independence and became an independent country.So follow up trivia: Is Texas the only country to give up it's independence to join the United States of America?
Elle? Paris Match?
Really? Ya know, I wasn't born here, but I thought the rebels who fought against Santa Anna were Texians, not Mexican citizens.
They were immigrants (as granted by the Mexican government). Anybody else who did not come by way of colonization were considered squatters and they had no land rights. They were not technically Mexican citizens, but they were not a living in a separate country or territory. The immigrated here to Mexican own soil, this was Mexican land, own by the country of Mexico and immigrated by Anglos. Tejas was territory of the state of Coahiula, but Stephen F. Austin, an empresario who was granted the right to immigrate settlers into the territory, wanted to create a separate Tejas (Tejano) state. He also wanted to create a land where his colony could practice freemasonary free from persecution. The Mexican Government at first did not care but later decided to outlaw freemasonary, much to the chagrin of the original Anglo settlers to the territory. Austin was very close to getting Tejas become a separate state from Coahiula, but certainly still a soverignity of Mexico but the revolution started and it never happened. The other reason the Tejano Anglo settlers wanted to fight was because of slavery. Mexico was staunchly against slavery because of the high influence of the Roman Catholic church. Tejanos immigrants were not willing to give up slavery and were ready to fight for the right to retain slaves. Unfortunately for them though, one condition of being allowed immigration status was that they would convert to Roman Catholicism, so they were going against the very contract they signed by owning slaves. It was forbidden and thus the relationship grew more and more heated. There were also grumblings of tariffs and taxes levied on immigrants that were too heavy for what was granted to them in terms of land ownership (plus the distance between Mexico's central government and the outpost of Tejas made is somewhat taxation without representation). Many Mexicanos (citizens) living in this territory fought on the side of Tejas because this reason, the tariffs and taxation, was unreasonable and affected them greatly. It was a fight that was taken up not only by the Anglo immigrants, but by the actual Mexican citizens living in this territory. Juan Sequin is the most well known of those Mexicanos.
yep, but a lot of people think vogue right away. it's a chick question at least.
Slavery, taxes and guns. Not much has changed, eh?/lackey bushneck

Yep. That's what set it off. The Mexican government pissed off a bunch of boys down in Anahuac (who'd been hanging around the trading post getting madder and madder. . . I always imagined that trading post was on what became IH 10, and was a precursor to DJ's, I think it is called; or maybe JJ's.) You just don't piss off a bunch of Anahuacians unless you're ready for a fight.
Never talk about fight club.
