I'm hoping you didn't have to fly that friggin long for a weekend.

 

No, it was a multi-city journey over a couple of weeks. Doing business. Important business. Business I can't talk about in public. Or in private. Business.

[ashbury]

Was Carlos Santana named for the musician, anybody?

 

I have from good sources that he was definitely named after him.

[Gibby]

I'm picturing you as Pierce Brosnan in The Matadore.

[ashbury]

We're back to Human Rain Delay Pelf with a man on base.

Knowledge is power.

If they ever do a movie about a guy doing a marketing swing while still working for IBM, then I do hope Pierce is their choice for the lead role.

I imagine all of the powerful people in Hollywood are fighting to get the rights to do this one. Instant blockbuster.

WTF is Dick talking about? Doppler Radar isn't some new fangled device like BABIP is.

[ashbury]

Instant blockbuster.

 

Are they still in business? In any case, yes, direct-to-video.

[Gibby]

dick is quaint.

[ashbury]

That TC logo on Arcia's mask is unnerving. When the camera goes back to him and it's not a closeup, I see it and think they are grotesque and ghostly eyes or something.

[Gibby]

Well done.

[Intramural Legend]

Australia is definitely on my list of must go places. I have an Aussie friend that wants to go with me, which would be awesome.

 

Australia was pretty great. New Zealand was much better in my opinion

[longstrangetrip]

Only 57 pitches through 5 innings per Pelf

[Joe A. Preusser]

I'm picturing you as Pierce Brosnan in The Matadore.

 

Or the Thomas Crown affair.

[Joe A. Preusser]

We're back to Human Rain Delay Pelf with a man on base.

 

Hey, as long as he keeps throwing 1 hit ball, i dont care if he stops for tea with the queen between pitches.

[ashbury]

Suddenly the odds of 2 runs being enough went down.

hmmmmm, nah… still a deal breaker.

[Gibby]

Yes, I can understand why you would say that. In fact, I'm pretty sure you are damn right. If I can get through the next 6 months without dying on a tarmac somewhere, I might have enough miles to get me half-way there.

[Intramural Legend]

blech

[Tibs]

Well shoot. Need more runs

[Ultima Ratio]

Twins baseball happens.

[Gibby]

Or the Thomas Crown affair.

 

Their is a juxtaposition in these roles.

[ashbury]

blech

 

Way down to zero.

[Fatt Crapps]

I hope Arcia hits a homer and takes the bat with him to 1st.

[Reider]

Another Twins killer (Swisher) doing work.

[Intramural Legend]

Wow, talk about falling apart in a single inning after what was an excellent beginning

[Gibby]

Another Twins killer (Swisher) doing work.

 

I bet it's fun being Nick Swisher.

[Reider]

It's early in the season, I think Pelfrey is starting to get tired, missing his mark. It's probably a good idea to get him out of there sooner rather than later.

[ashbury]

Have I mentioned I hate how the video feed is several seconds behind the text play-by-play on ESPN.com? I check something on the latter site, and then have to sit through the video knowing a two-run homer is "about" to happen...
