I'll start it off with-

"That's an out in Oakland"

___ days until My birthday

major league player

major league player

It's actually major league-type player.

At the major league level.

my fault....knew that didnt sound right

Dropped the barrel of the bat...

Pitchers are the best athletes on the field.

He has all four pitches.

My California math tells me....

and

Oh, we're live!?

If my ears did not betray me today, I believe Bert called Willingham "Winningham". Maybe he has a grower for the actress Mare Winningham?

Oh, we're live!?

HAHAHAHAHAHAH! That was classic. They could have made a snickers commercial about that one. Wanna get away...

Ee-she-ro.
Valenchee-a

Downward plane

Middle in

Inside out swing

Liriano has 'ace type stuff'

"You are hereby circled." [unbelievable nobody had this one yet.]

"Take that pitch and go the other way with it."

With that uppercut swing....



....and he DID NOT miss it.

He left that one up.

....without express written consent of the Min-EE-soooo- ta Twins.

And let's not forget his numerous rants about what the definition of a quality start should be!

Adding and subtracting.

You are hereby circled!

and my lovely wife, Gail

Cheecago

Happy Birthday young lady (the sign says she's 90)

Nobody cared about pitch counts in my day.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH! That was classic. They could have made a snickers commercial about that one. Wanna get away...

I believe the "wanna get away..." commercial were for Southwest Airlines... Snickers are "you're not yourself when you're hungry"

With that uppercut swing....



....and he DID NOT miss it.

Had both these in the Arcia HR.

By my California math

That pitch was right there

Duck-fart (evidently retired by Twins braintrust)

"He does a good job getting to that balance point" just about sums up his anaylisis of every pitcher in the major leauges.

"almost like a ....."

A co-worker pointed this out to me several years ago and it has since driven me crazy. Bert will say "right there" in almost every sentence. Like "That was a good slider right there" or "He goes inside right there for the strikeout."

It's like noticing every time somebody says "um" when they're talking. I can't not notice it now!

I think that Twins fans are ready and deserving of a more intellectually stimulating broadcast.

*They are not the broadcasters we need, nor the broadcasters we deserve right now.

I'm wondering how many games in a row Bert is gonna say something like: 'in today's game throwing 7 innings is like pitching a complete game in the old days'. He did it on the Fox Saturday broadcast, he did it Sunday and both games yesterday.

How about Gladdenisms, for us radio listeners?

I'll suggest "jamshot" (or "jam shot" or "jam-shot" -- style handbooks differ on the written representation of the term). Gladden has the remarkable ability to describe a wide variety of baseball hits, of different speeds, trajectories, distances, and directions, with the same term "jamshot". It's quite elegant in its simplicity, really.

I'd go with jam-shot.

I'd go with jam-shot. (It's getting old, but that's never stopped me before) Hey now...there are 12 year olds who read this site.

It actually sounds a little dirty when Gladden says it too. I think it's because he uses the term so often, it doesn't really accurately describe the play, so one's imagination is left to wander...

Maybe what's really happening is that instead of taking jello-shots, he's slurping down jam-shots instead. That would explain much of his inane blathering during the game.

Interesting idea. My wife is out of town. Maybe I'll experiment with this and see if I can get jam-shots to work.

If I'm even less coherent than normal tonight, that'll be why.

Just remember, you have to exclaim "jam-shot!" prior to taking each one.

Good call. Found my favorite (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh3XDMzcdtU).

Try to update us every half hour and PM your emergency contact info to a mod so we don't have to feel guilty about egging you on...

I reeeeally love you guys. No really. I do. You guys are good guys.

These jam shots are gooooooood.

White or wheat toast to go with your jam?

Yep. Totally, man. You get me.

We gotta do this f'ing thing over because I f*cked it up........

In today's game, if you pitch seven innings a start, you win Cy Young awards, like Johan Santana

He's about to throw his 100th pitch. I hope he doesn't blow up

He left it up...but on the replay it was not a bad pitch, the hitter just dropped the head of the bat and got good wood on it

Too many pitches this inning

He really stays back good, gets to that balance point, and then explodes toward home plate

Ch EEE cago

Oh I forgot...

After reading the disclaimer...

"And I will be telling my wife Gail when I get home that she will NOT be disseminating."

"There's a lot of things that are over our heads."

I think you have to drink the whole bottle, not just one shot, when you hear this one.

A recent development, one he's used several times this year: "His first major league debut..."
