Dave/latte-

I was confused and thought that olive loaf was a type of bread. Then Stu made a comment about ‘olive loaf bread’ and I’m just not bright enough to sort it all out.

Clarence: I believe “meat loaf” sounds more appetizing than “meat bread”

Brandon - His OBP is higher this year than last. His SLG is definitely lower (.030 or so). Both may be below average, but compared to last year, in his second full season in the bigs, they’re not far off from what I would expect.

And I still here more people complaining about his HR totals and RBI totals, which is a joke. He hit 13 HR last year–suddenly we think he’s a 30 HR threat?

Admittedly, he sounds like a bit of a head case, and he needs to tell daddy to back off, let him be a man, and deal with the coach that gets paid to help him. But that’s a whole different argument, and one I wouldn’t complain if I heard “experts” making.

As for Garza…well, whether our head case is in LF or on the mound every 5th day, what’s the big difference?

I’m actually talking about Oscar Meyer’s ham-like meat slices with olives magically sewn in. It’s glorious!

So is Blue but he’s dead. You’re my boy!!!

Olive loaf would be more popular if it wasn’t called olive loaf. What’s wrong with just saying ‘olive bread’?

i.e.: beer bread = delicious, beer loaf = gross.

You olive-loaf-bread-heads are ruining the sport of sandwich eating.

Truth: make a grilled cheese sandwich with olive loaf bread at some point. Seriously, it’s fantastic.

The Hootie is only partially ashamed to admit that he’s probably uttered 2/3 of the example statements given by Dave. Man, I’m a nerd.
