Florimon batting 3rd!

 

May want to save the score card...

 

"Pedro Florimon's Last Major League Game". Collector's item.

At the Met, they brought it to your seat. Everything was better at the Met.

Yup. But the little wooden silverware gave everything an aftertaste, IMO.

Don't tease us like that.

Ah yes, those malty ice cream things. I was an addict.

Frosty malts!!!!!

[Guest USAFChief]

Okay one of the things I missed while napping or on the phone, what happened to Plouffe?

More serious answer...he took a pitch off the back of the upper left arm earlier, and it was clearly bothering him later, including the AB where he drove in two.

[ashbury]

Don't tease us like that.

 

I can't guarantee which game it will be. But, when the Turk eventually comes for him, he won't be bearing a round-trip ticket.

[stringer bell]

Burton!

[Guest USAFChief]

Burton!

There's a piece in the Pioneer Press today about how the Twins really liked what they saw from Burton in Tampa Bay.

 

Apart from all the runs, and all.

[Squirrel]

I'm scared. Might have to nap away the rest of the game

[Gibby]

Burton!

 

Loved him in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe.

[Guest USAFChief]

Does he come back out for the 8th? I worry that Burton will come in.

I blame Chitown.

"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln..."

[Riverbrian]

My wife has been hinting strongly about taking our cat to a farm.

 

I understood... And we talked about it.

 

However... She just did... And my jaw is on the floor... She actually did it.

[D. Hocking]

Burton!

 

Somehow I imagining this said in the same way Seinfeld used to say "Neuman!"

[Danchat]

Unfortunately, it looks like Burton's time is almost up. He's just not going to revert back to 2012 form.

[ashbury]

Burton got away with a fat pitch to Kinsler.

[stringer bell]

Loved him in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe.

Pretty good in "The Robe".

[twinscowboysbulls]

What does Gardy expect here?

[stringer bell]

Redemption!

[Guest USAFChief]

Just like Gardy/Burton/Escobar had it planned!

[drivlikejehu]

The good news is, somehow Burton didn't blow it. The bad news is, he certainly will the next time.

[ashbury]

Loved him in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe.

 

That was back when he was pitching to Taylor and could still bring it.

[Circus Boy]

That Gardy, crazy like fox. Sends Burton in to face Detroit's best bats, so now Perk can have an easy 9th. Yeah, that's the plan.

and down goes the waitress

[glunn]

I am glad that I have the game being recorded at home. I am not sure that I could have watched Burton out there without multiple tranquilizers.

[Guest USAFChief]

Tough day for Kubes.

[ashbury]

Does Perk always grimace when he's warming up?

[Guest USAFChief]

Didja get the bounce, stringer?

It won't help.
