Why not?

 

First question - who was the last active player to play for the Montreal Expos?

[mvp 78]

Bartolo Colon? I heard the real answer during the season at some point, but don't remember.

[moonslav59]

What was the temperature at start of the last ML game of the 1994 season?

That was the strike year which ended in August. I'm going to go with a nice 78 degrees. Hedging my bet between LA and SEA.

Don't ask me for the answer.

Correct. Colon played briefly for Montreal, long enough to drain their farm in a trade, and then continued to pitch off and on until 2018…

[mvp 78]

Don't ask me for the answer.

 

What's the answer then?

Also the answer to a Red Sox trivia question: which pitcher ruined his season with a non-pitching injury... like, I dunno -- tearing a back muscle swinging from his ass in the batter's box?

[moonslav59]

What's the answer then?

 

The answer is dont ask. I dont know.

 

The Q was a joke- like the thread is.

[mvp 78]

Just tell me the answer.

[moonslav59]

Just tell me the answer.

 

I told you I don't know.

 

That's the main reason I said don't ask.

[mvp 78]

I told you I don't know.

 

That's the main reason I said don't ask.

 

I don't understand why you're not telling me.

[moonslav59]

I don't understand why you're not telling me.

 

Has Swi hacked into your account?

[mvp 78]

Has Swi hacked into your account?

 

Stop beating around the bush. What's the answer?

[moonslav59]

Stop beating around the bush. What's the answer?

 

It must be a reading comp issue, that's why I thought Swi hacked your count.

 

I don't know or have the answer.

 

The question was a joke.

 

Here's another one:

 

How many total blades of grass were on the filed for the last game of the 2021 season?

Also, among probably others, Jim Lonborg lost at least part of a season due complications following a skiing injury.

Good post -- it was the winter after his Cy Young, and Lonnie was never as good after that.

 

Here's one that worked out for the Sox: Aaron Frickin Boone was injured playing basketball in the winter after his walk-off HR, so the Yanks traded for Alex Rodriguez to play third base. Sure, ARod was mostly great in the Roid Era, but he was also one of the main gag masters in the '04 ALCS...
