    Two game 163s tomorrow. And I have school, homework, and have to get fillings at 6 PM. Wonderful.
    Side note: do fillings hurt?

      That’s a bad day. As long as you’re dentist isn’t still living in the 90’s most fillings are a breeze.

        He’s pretty young, I want to say mid-30’s, and looks exactly like Ryon Healy. It’s pretty scary.

      Yes, fillings hurt. One week minimum of 24 hour pain–and that’s if you’re lucky. If he/she accidentally hits the nerve, which is common, you’re going to be on pain medication for months and lose tons of sleep.

      But that’s a cake walk after what the Mariners did you over the last 6 months.

    Foul territory tried to give the award for worst umpire: They were “unsure”. Who do you guys think is the worst? I have a Three way tie btw. Joe West, Ángel Hernández and CB Bucknor.

      You nailed it. There’s an equal argument for all three.

      CB Bucknor is by far the worse imho.
