Babe Parmelee.

Babe-uh-lee!

[Boom Boom]

Mauer 1 for 11 in the series with a walk.

 

This game's going to have to go into mad extra innings to get that .091 up to .400.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Wow. Nice work Parmelee! One man wrecking crew today (including the misplayed ground rul double).

[zchrz]

PARMS, I keep trying to give up on you and you keep making me hang on a little longer.

[TKGuy]

Just when you think he's dead, Parms 3-4 today.

 

If Glen can shut the door, I will certainly take 4-5 on this road trip from hell

[D. Hocking]

Re Mauer - I am sure there is more going on behind the scenes, but whenever I hear anyone in the Twins organzation talk about the situation they seem to be crossing their fingers and closing their eyes and doing their best to convince themselves there is nothing seriously wrong and the situation will soon right itself. It almost seems that they are going with if we remain in denial and ignore the situation and do nothing - it will go away and fix itself. Hopefully they are doing more behind the scenes.

Question, if you're John Farrell, do you send Uehara out to pitch the 11th?

 

I would like to credit myself for jinxing the Sox closer. My work here is done.

[JB_Iowa]

Okay, Mr. Perkins.

 

It's up to you.

[tharasix]

Parmelee continues to pay no respect to the pitching today.

[pierre75275]

I had to change my post. I was about to say it was a good thing this game started early...then parms hits a dinger. Who knew? course this game could still go on a while but...

[DaveW]

The day after I leave Boston they finally try to win one. Sweet.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

By George. I think he's got it!

 

By Parmelee, I think he's got it!

 

(Yeah, guess an Escobar hit wasn't as important as i thought it might be)

 

Now let's see if the pitching can hold it...

[JB_Iowa]

OOPS,

 

I guess things have to be Fien.

[DaveW]

Where is Perk?

[James]

Okay, Mr. Perkins.

 

It's up to you.

 

Today, you spell Perkins: "Fien."

[ashbury]

PARMS, I keep trying to give up on you and you keep making me hang on a little longer.

 

Is that a line from Brokeback Fenway?

[ericchri]

Perkins not warmed up? Gameday has Fien pitching...

[James]

Where is Perk?

The radio says a few guys have some sort of flu bug.

[JB_Iowa]

The radio says a few guys have some sort of flu bug.

 

It was probably that big salad he was eating the day he gave the interview on Pinto.

[tharasix]

Radio says a flu bug is going through the clubhouse, and it may have bitten Perk.

[Guest USAFChief]

Perk apparently doesn't think much of Fryer's pitch framing, either.

[DaveW]

Radio says a flu bug is going through the clubhouse, and it may have bitten Perk.

 

Ah yes, the brown bottle flu.

[nicksaviking]

Does everyone remember when I said Chris Parmelee would join Jose Bautista as the only player to score a run agains Uehara this year? Everyone remembers right? Don't bother looking it up, it's in one of these threads somewhere.

Ya hate to blow your Uehara early.

[James]

Ah yes, the brown bottle flu.

The Sam Adams flu?

[JB_Iowa]

You might know.

[Otto von Ballpark]

Looks like Perk picked a bad day to get the flu

[Fatt Crapps]

Parmesan Crisp!

[Brock Beauchamp]

*face on desk*

 

Ugh.

[James]

Oh... I see. Neither team wants to get on a plane yet.
