[Aerie Vol]

What is turfus?

More seriously. It's engineered dirt. Super absorbent and doesn't clump like mud. Helps in downpours.

 

[volplaya8]

Holy smokes!!! Dreiling way out to straight center fat Dong!!!!

 

[Volstylexx]

Dreiling is like the USPS - Rain or shine, he DELIVERS! GBO

 

[Drewbydoo]

Ok, I'm scared to ask but I'm going to ask anyway. For someone new to the baseball game threads this season, where did the term "dong" for a HR originate?

 

[drvenner]

Well, I'd say the rain has a lot to do with that. He did not look this wild until the downpour hit.

He was somewhat wild in the first also

 

[Drewbydoo]

SQUIB HITS WORK TOO.

 

[TheBigOne10]

We’re good at this baseball thing! No mercy!!! Burke has come up huge these past few games

 

[Aerie Vol]

The Illinois fans in front of me just Wooed.

Bwahahaha. Thank them for me for being good sports.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

DD smashed that ball!

I think it's a derivative of "dinger".

 

[BJSforVols]

I guess, but he was just missing. He wasn't throwing wild pitches to the backstop.

 

[Tenacjim]

An hour to get through 2 innings. Looks like this won’t be over before basketball.
