Hogs vs Portland—Baseball

[Show-Me Hog]

We're similarly wired.

Anything I throw is LH, hit LH. Shoot basketball LH.
Eat, write, hammer a nail, shoot a gun with my RH.
I played tennis when I was young and would serve LH then switch to RH for groundstrokes. My tennis coach said he had never seen that.
Yank my wank with my RH (TMI, I know)
Kick right footed.

So similar. Me:

LH:
Throw
Bat
Bowl
Punch

RH:
Racquet sports
Eat
Write
Fine motor (like a screwdriver or hammer)
Kick (RF)

It's like I'm left ARMED but right handed.

I'm cross-wired; write lefty but I'm right eye dominant and throw, kick, bat and golf righty. Shoot a handgun with my right but long guns are more comfortable on the left ( taught myself to shoot from the right because of eye dominance).

Began surgery as a lefty but eventually switched to using my right because almost no scrub nurses know how to load a needle driver for a lefty.

Same. I write, eat, shoot a rifle, play pool, left handed. Shoot a pistol, throw, hammer, or most anything else right handed. I can screw up with either hand.

Yeah, I was just told I'd go blind.

I can take PBP if nobody wants it.

Thank you! Can you get it this weekend, too? If not, I can probably take it.

[DirkPiggler]

Thank you! Can you get it this weekend, too? If not, I can probably take it.

No, I'll be at the next two games.  Got through with work early enough, and Ben's flight doesn't arrive until nearly 8pm, so I can handle this one.

OK. I will take the next two.

[BleedinRed]

We may need to look at another game one starter.

The Pilots have navigated rough seas to start the season and even though they have taken on a little water thus far into the season they are a tough ship to sink.  

Said differently, they are the best 5-8 team in the country.  

[BleedinRed]

We need to hire more Hawaiians.  

[Son of Spam]

We need to hire more Hawaiians. 

And some big Samoans for the football team.

[BleedinRed]

We definetly need to hire more Hawaiians.  

[BleedinRed]

Grey skies ahead for the Pilots.
