Better?

Good times, good times. Thanks.

Per Dick:

 

Iwakuma has never given up an earned run to the Twins in his career.

 

 

I've heard better news.

 

Was really hoping for a leadoff homer from Dozierzie, but the single is OK with me.

In other news, a 3.2 earthquake two hours ago northeast of Carson City registered as a quick bump here at Tahoe.

 

I hope everyone is okay. I am assuming a 3.2 is a wtf, rather than a WTF!!!!!!!

No reports of damage, though I'm sure the folks closer to Carson City were more alarmed.

[JB_Iowa]

Hope this is a good audition for Correia.

[Winston Smith]

Roy already has the lipstick out.

Hope this is a good audition for Correia.

Did Dick forget what words are or what?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

OK, here's the philosophical conundrum for the ages: if Pedro Florimon stepped up to the plate against Ricky Nolasco, would there be a hit, an out, or rain delay?

 

Oh! I got this one!

 

Them facing each other implies that one of them has left the Twins. Thus self-deprecation gives the victory to the non-Twin.

 

How'd i do?

[ashbury]

Fryer is up for his glove, right? right?

[Bark's Lounge]

Nobody cares about Cowboys', gamblers' and prostitutes' fears.

I think Bert sent his language skills along on the road trip.

[ashbury]

How'd i do?

 

Probably better than either of the gentlemen I named. Although, Nolasco could still find a cure to what ails him.

On the contrary. The roundup is always better when the cowboy is crying.

[Winston Smith]

It would be nice if the guys Terry wants to trade could not suck for a couple weeks.

That sounds sort of creepy. I'll take my chances with clowns.

Wouldn't want to trade them anymore, then.

[Winston Smith]

Wouldn't want to trade them anymore, then.

 

Catch 22 isn't it?

[LaBombo]

The.... horror.

 

The.... horror.

Meanwhile, a homer by Zunino doesn't even register on the Uff Da Meter tonight.

[Mike Sixel]

I like their chances.

I am surprised Nolasco thought he could pitch through. You would think the the era encroaching on 6 would be a clue. In related news...the MRI turned out fine and Nolasco has been optioned to AA where he will be taught how to throw lefthanded by Aaron hicks battin coach

[Gibby]

Take a breath Roy.

[ScrapTheNickname]

I have my doubts about the effectiveness of the "Rally Rhino" or "Comeback Bunny". Some have said to keep throwing them out there' date=' and I will do as such today, but in the days they have been used, the Twins have accumulated zero wins. My faith wanes.

I like the Comeback Bunny because he is so cute and ineffectual, which matches our team so well.

I like the Rhino because he cant pitch, which matches our team so well.

  When Nolasco hits the DL, the #mntwins will have $40m on it. They will have just over $50m on the active roster.

Considering who we're playing, might an albatross be effective?

[snepp]

Morales really got a hold of that one.

Save it for the Fun With Numbers thread.

[stringer bell]

Has there been news on Nolasco?
