[Riverbrian]

Alright.. I'm blinking out.

 

I'll check the score in the morning.

 

Good night all

[James]

Yeah.  Time for bed for me. I blame having to go work.

[snepp]

I'll check the score in the morning.

 

>=3 to 0

One thing about west coast games is that it's possible to check out the minor league games. Buxton broke his o-fer, Rosario got a hit and a walk and both Mauer and Hicks didn't play. Gilmartin pitched very well.

[Willihammer]

So... turns out the mystery team that claimed Cole Hamels wasn't the Twins.

 

We can all exhale now.

[USAFChief]

Man, it's get late for these West Coast games!  It's pushing 9:30!

 

Night all.

[snepp]

0-2 pitch right down broadway.

 

 

 

Fooled him?

Nice job, Pressly.

I think that's what they call "pitching backwards"

I'd listen to them.

 

At least one song, if it wasn't too long.

[stringer bell]

Likely one inning to go. Will the game be over by midnight?

[ashbury]

I think that's what they call "pitching backwards"

Those in the know call that a "pickoff throw to second".

[stringer bell]

What happened there?

[snepp]

I give up, hopefully I wake up to an unexpected comeback.

[Willihammer]

What happened there?

I'm not sure but I think Melvin's as tired as we are

[stringer bell]

I think Melvin thought Callaspo was the DH. He's played there more than second.

[ashbury]

Likely one inning to go. Will the game be over by midnight?

Easily.  The sun just went down in Oakland.

[stringer bell]

Roster move after the game? May for Pino?

[ashbury]

Roster move after the game? May for Pino?

Fingers crossed for that.

[stringer bell]

Unless they knock Lester out, it will be over by midnight, our time.

[ashbury]

Unless they knock Lester out, it will be over by midnight, our time.

I shouldn't try the deadpan stuff after y'all's bedtimes.
