Hey, you gonna eat that?
Washrooms were located in the concession area
Even in the gingerbread world, where allowances are made, this is kind of ucky.

I was going to say they have wayyyy too much time on their hands, but then I realized I spent more than an hour looking into the career of Elbie Fletcher the other day and I've got no moral standing to pass judgement....

Run, run, as fast as you can
You can't catch the ball from Koufax's hand.
Has dough ruined the modern game?
But Koufax gave one sweet performance.
Don't sugarcoat how bad the batters were.
I hope Candy Maldonado and Cookie Lavagetto were invited. Ginger Beaumont would have loved it.
Hopefully it was Ladies Day, so there were mo' lasses.
And this tribute is just icing on the ... well ...

Thank God the Cubs are good for something.

Their bench should be a few strips of Wrigley.

The Cubs are usually a recipe for disaster. I wouldn't say they couldn't hit a lick, but the pill's buried in Roseboro's glove after their strikeouts. Koufax's dominance can't be fully described by any floury language.
This gives new meaning to the phrases "ballpark eats" and "cleanup batter".

I'm afraid all the time I spend defending my use of this site to my wife has just been nullified by his post.
All of her complaints that we are just little boys with calculators have now changed to 'little boys with baking mitts' -
I believe we have no choice but to mutiny Sean and eat that damn house to conceal the evidence.

Great, kill the goose that lays the golden eggs 🙁

Not kill... mutiny.
and not golden eggs... ginger bread recreations.

'little boys with baking mitts' — maybe even Nancy-boys.
all the time I spend defending my use of this site to my wife
Waste of breath, bro. Our best hope lies in concealment.

@ Kahuna,
You know its bad when your wife is secretly hoping you are watching "Girls Gone Wild" - and not looking at break down of Barry Bonds' intentional walks.

You guys have all cracked me up.
Jeff J., I normally snatch up any punning gantlet that's thrown down, but after just three posts I can see I'm outgunned. "Mo' lasses"? I'm dyin' over here!
As the year winds down, I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed chatting with you hardcores.
Now, Duke, about those IBBs....
December 23rd, 2010 at 3:52 am
... I have just a few dozen paragraphs on that IBB breakdown that I really must share with you....

Did I see Mr. Hankie and his friends in some of those pictures?

You umpire kiss-assers, why not make a gingerbread of Joyce and his defenders?
Galarraga should have killed Joyce instead of making it up.

@Cabriael: He should have killed him? Are you serious? This is a game, not life and death...
