Something about Salazar reminds me of Garza

So what you're saying is we should just bunt all night until he loses his mind?

Me thinks it is the Twins lineup making him look like Garza.

[Reider]

Escobar... Smooth... Like he's been in Left his whole life.

A good ball player is a good ball player.

[ashbury]

Interesting line from my gamecast. I' be interested in a detailed explanation here.

 

He forgot to do his stretching exercises before the game and the umpire called him out for trying to do it impromptu.

Its the a's and z's in the name.

 

your welcome.

your welcome.

 

And R's...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I know that one.

 

 

Quite amusing, perhaps more so than my referent... Though mine predated you tube.

 

1 hole is rangers returning

2 holes are wildlings

3 holes are white walkers

 

The one-L lama, he's a priest

The two-L llama, he's a beast

And I would bet a silk pyjama

There isn't any three-L lllama

 

 

The author's attention has been called to a type of conflagration known as a three-alarmer. Pooh.

 

(And the page googled what had this poem so i didn't have to depend on memory, also mentioned poem "Lineup for yesterday" which looks pretty good)

Escobar > Bartlett

Escobar > Bartlett

 

Erstwhile Eddie, per the Twins announcing team.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We got another almost baserunner. Nice catch by the indians' center fielder... Morgan.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Big ups by Morgan to take away a hit from Pinto. Did you know Morgan batting .296 and playing centerfield has been in AAA for Cleveland. Wouldn't it have been nice to have signed Nyjer Morgan in the off season?

[Reider]

Hey Brian,

 

Here's a fun fact for you. Nyjer Morgan played a few games for the Regina Pats hockey team. The guy is a good athlete.

Great catch. I'm not shedding any tears over not having that clown on our team though, despite our dire OF situation.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Interesting line from my gamecast. I' be interested in a detailed explanation here.

He stretched a double and over slid the bag. He might have been out at 2 without the over slide.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

RBI double for Dozier!

There was only room for one of his characters on the roster, not two:

Just turned on game and the first thing I see is Nyjer Morgan's robbery of Pinto's XBH. Gamecast isn't working properly, since it shows Nolasco hasn't allowed a baserunner.

 

Gomes doing an excellent job of putting Pinto's 'defensive issues' in perspective...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And no problem with Florimon's bat this time around...

 

Walk, steals second, and gets 3rd on over throw...

 

and in on a Dozier Double!

 

1-0

[ashbury]

Dozier's tipping his swings, with that grimace.

[stringer bell]

A Dozier double? After a Florimon walk? What are the odds?

[Reider]

Florimon 1 Indians 0

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Great catch. I'm not shedding any tears over not having that clown on our team though, despite our dire OF situation.

You'd take Sam Fuld and Aaron Hicks over a guy who can make catches like that AND bat 296?

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Thank God Gardy isn't trotting Gomes out! Holy crap that guy is a terrible catcher

You said it! (And another 3rd strike runner...)

[Riverbrian]

your welcome.

 

Pat: 250... What would you like to do?

 

Hosken: Is there a Z?

 

Pat: Yes there are two of them... What would you like to do?

 

Hosken: I'd like to buy a vowel!!! A

 

Pat: Is there an A?... Yes... Bunches of them...

 

Hosken: Good... I like watching Vanna walk... It's hard to believe she is 95 years old.

 

Pat: What's Next?

 

Hosken: I'd like to Solve the Puzzle...

 

Pat: OK go ahead

 

Hosken: Pizza Zebra Amazed

 

Pat: No I'm sorry... That's not it... Ashbury your Up

[notoriousgod71]

Gomes is the catching version of Knoblauch.

[Paul Pleiss]

Guys, Pedro Florimon walked. He WALKED. Be more excited about this. And then he scored becasue Dozier is battling leadoff. Doze looks good at the top of the lineup.

[notoriousgod71]

Mackey Sasser just had issues throwing back to the pitcher, correct? When he was in the middle of the action I think his throws were usually accurate.

[diehardtwinsfan]

A Dozier double? After a Florimon walk? What are the odds?

 

Significantly better than a Dozier double after a Florimon base hit.
