Okay, Brian ... your turn ... slippin' and slidin', think it over and rave on!  We're all crying, waiting, hoping here!  (But maybe we could move on from crickets to another critter ... )

[stringer bell]

No Hammer.  Perhaps a trade has been made?  Too much to hope for.

[Tibs]

I found out that student day isn't restricted to students from Minnesota. I'm not at the game today, but I'll remember that for future reference.

[Squirrel]

Good deal, Tibs.

 

I wonder if Brian didn't realize it was an afternoon game?  Not like him to not have something in there at this point.

[Circus Boy]

Good deal, Tibs.

 

I wonder if Brian didn't realize it was an afternoon game?  Not like him to not have something in there at this point.

 

Frankly, I like the suspense.

[Squirrel]

lol ... indeed ... and with brian, there is plenty of suspense ... just what will come out of his next??  

[Circus Boy]

lol ... indeed ... and with brian, there is plenty of suspense ... just what will come out of his next??  

 

Y'know, I've never had a next. Gonna check into that.

[Circus Boy]

Y'know, I've never had a next. Gonna check into that.

 

Well, church has started without RB. I'll do the sermon if someone else does the hymns.

[Squirrel]

heh ... his head  

[Squirrel]

I have to be afk ... will check in ... 

[Circus Boy]

Correia... Puttin' up the zeros.

[Tibs]

Looks like a good day to be at a baseball game

[Tibs]

Yeah Plouffe! Seems like he hasn't hit a homer in a while.

[Don't Feed the Greed Guy]

Textbook baseball. Hit and run.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Yeah Plouffe! Seems like he hasn't hit a homer in a while.

 

June 18th so... yeah... not for awhile.

[Mill1634]

Schafer was in the box...

[Circus Boy]

Two strikes, two outs. Double. Oy.

[Mill1634]

I like Jordann

[James]

Another Century Link ® stolen base.

 

I'd hate to have to say that every time a base is stolen.  It must be rough for Danny G.

[James]

And then Gladden just compared Buxton to Plouffe and Parmelee.  Ugh.

[Circus Boy]

Another missed scoring opportunity. The baseball gods will not like our refusing their hospitality.

[Tibs]

Danny smiling after making that diving catch. That's fun to see.

[Mill1634]

Thats a top 10 catch

[James]

There you go, Kenny.

[James]

And Kenny scores!!!  

 

I'm listening on the radio.  Can anyone provide some details on Escobar's hit?  Sounded like a nice little line drive.  

 

edit: I originally called Eddie's hit a double.  I guess it was ruled a single.

[Mike Sixel]

Ah, KC pitching. so exciting!

[USAFChief]

Hey everybody!  What time's first pitch today?

[JB_Iowa]

Hey chief, go back to bed.

[James]

Hey everybody!  What time's first pitch today?

Don't worry, Chief.  We'll let you know when it happens.

[James]

Plouffe now leads the club in the RBI category.
