Game Thread: Twins@White Sox 4/3 1:10PM

[Boom Boom]

The White Sox are really scrambling to get Escobar out. It must be because they were preparing for Florimon and got bamboozled by Gardy's "typo" on the lineup card.

[notoriousgod71]

Mauer hits it out of the infield!

[Gibby]

I guess that's a personal victory for Joe.

[Winston Smith]

That's a good sign Joe got it out of the infield.

[LaBombo]

Escobar is on second despite having struck out AND gotten caught stealing.

 

I don't think I've ever seen that. I hope I don't see that again.

Only possible encore is to pull a Psycho Lyons and start taking his pants off.

[jokin]

I'm thinking at least three games ago.

 

Sorry James, didn't mean to step on your pithiness. Gotta read all the way to the end of a thread.....

[Gibby]

Marv Throneberry would be proud.

 

What I know about Marv Throneberry, I read in a Mad magazine circa 1970.

Not a problem. I didn't take it personally.

Gardy the Chessmaster

[Riverbrian]

Bases full of Twins and Cola in hand.

 

I'm watching

[Tibs]

I'll take it!

[jokin]

Upside of leading the league in batter k's is that they could also lead in reaching on wild pitches...

 

Fantasy league market inefficiencies?

[Fatt Crapps]

Haha. Very Torii-esque.

[Gibby]

Sox announcers are quietly lamenting.

[Guest USAFChief]

Ava-fail.

[James]

Cola!!!

[70charger]

Empties the bases! Ugly, but runs are runs.

 

Is it an error though?

[Riverbrian]

Bad Sox Baseball... God Bless Em... The Twins are gifted Three Runs because the Sox can't play professional baseball.

[LaBombo]

The White Sox scorer needs to be fined by mlb.

[Reider]

Lol that ball probably should have been caught. Nice hit either way.

[notoriousgod71]

Hawk's optimism from five minutes ago just completely evaporated with that Garcia misplay.

[Gibby]

Bad Sox Baseball... God Bless Em... The Twins are gifted Three Runs because the Sox can't plat professional baseball.

 

I believe it's spelled platte.

[notoriousgod71]

The White Sox scorer needs to be fined by mlb.

 

 

That's how baseball is now. It is physically impossible to commit an error it seems.

[Craig Arko]

Tails are battled off today.

[jokin]

What I know about Marv Throneberry, I read in a Mad magazine circa 1970.

 

How'd you like to have this as your NY Times epitaph?:

 

"June 25, 1994....MarvThroneberry, who became a symbol of the futility of one the most tragicomic and worst teams in baseball history, the 1962 New York Mets, died on Thursday..."

[big dog]

Gee, and here Ed Farmer was talking about how last year was bad Sox baseball, but there's a bunch of new players who are guaranteed to play good ball. Other than executing rundowns and catching line drives, anyway.

[mikeee]

ooooooo

offense!

[LimestoneBaggy]

Hawk's optimism from five minutes ago just completely evaporated with that Garcia misplay.

 

There is nothing worse than listening to Hawk, other than when the Sox blow it, then it's fantastic.

[Riverbrian]

If I'm Quintana... I am pissed.

[Boom Boom]

Nice to know the Twins aren't the only ones who can play a laughable inning in the field.

 

Due up for the Sox: Howard, Fine, and Howard.
