[Chewford]

I am confused, why are we Tom Hanks?

[Bobbob1313]

Yeah, I don't get it.

[Mainge]

Because we're fighting pirates like Tom Hanks in that trailer

[Chewford]

I thought it was either because we were mentally handicapped or dying of AID's, but I guess that makes sense too.

[HUGG]

AID's

enjoy Teacher Fest

[Chewford]

It's a good thing I'm not teaching acronyms for sexual transmitted diseases.

[HUGG]

0% chance we win this game

I'm saying this in the context of the Pirates scoring more runs than us only though.

#tcot

[Chewford]

I still don't understand hashtags.

Hopefully they'll go over it at Teacher Fest.

[Beef]

What's #tcot?

[HUGG]

I was wondering that too.

Marisnick is terrible. Fuckin Loria
--------------------
Jeff Mathis started 1/22 this season.

Since then, he's hitting .256/.337/.389 in 101pa.

if he could sustain that (he can't) and given his defense, he'd be one of the better starting C in baseball I would think

[Chewford]

EPCOT = Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow

so

TCOT = Tom Hanks City Of Tomorrow

[HUGG]

Tom Cruise Only, Thanks

Guys, Henderson Alvarez has 5k through 5 innings. Mainge is gonna be excited.
