Polanco!

[GCTF]

We want Florimon! to go away forever

[drock2190]

Florimon not even sure where 2nd base is

[Riverbrian]

Polanco already has more MLB hits before age 21 than Ryan Braun did.

[VATwinsFan]

Polanco-mania!

 

(spell check came up with "Polaroid-mania)

[VATwinsFan]

Dozier dozn't do it.

[Riverbrian]

Like Garrison Keillor said... "Hit em where they ain't"

Polaroid

 

I remember when instant photos were amazing. You'd have to wave them in the air to make the photo appear quicker.

Re: Polanco's youth. How many of you old timers remember the Calvin Griffith/Butch Wynegar ad in which Wynegar says he loves baseball so much he'd play for free?

 

Griffith's response was.......?

And then in a year or so they turn yellow.

And they had that chemical smell when they were developing.

[Circus Boy]

Had to leave to help customers. Now I'm back and confused. What is it called when our guys have a bigger number than the other guys? What next? Dogs and cats sleeping together? Women not thinking men are always wrong? What? What? Madness.

Y'know, you just described my high school locker room.

Little Gary Keillor said what?

I don't think it was just yours.

Well we can't afford that either?

[JB_Iowa]

Better than a lot of alternatives.

Incorrect. Anyone else?

[glunn]

It seems like a long time since the Twins had a lead. I am feeling a little giddy.

[Circus Boy]

So we hung a nada on Tejas after taking a commanding one-run lead. Tell me: Did Bert say before Gibby started that half-inning, "It's crucial for Gibson to not allow the Rangers to score here." It would make my day. Thank you.

Actually, it's just gas.

[Guest USAFChief]

It had to be something nice, right?

[glunn]

Polanco displayed some pop there.

[VATwinsFan]

Nice, but in the spirit of Calvin's legendary "generosity".

[Squirrel]

Any chance they keep Polanco up and send Florimon down when Plouffe comes off the DL?

[Squirrel]

oh ****.

[Guest USAFChief]

Fuld catches that.

[GCTF]

ftfy.

 

Thanks for the correction.
