The kid can steal bases.

Yup.  Except for first.

Quick poll -- what is your favorite Robin Williams movie?

 

My favorite Robin Williams movie is Good Morning Vietnam.  I have seen it at least 5 times.

Good Morning Vietnam probably. I'd like to rewatch Popeye too, which I saw as a kid.

[USAFChief]

Obligatory "That's an out in Oakland."

[twinsnorth49]

Obviously it was Damon mainly but Robin was pretty prominent.

Yep, true dat.

Couldn't help myself, but hey, I didn't start it.

Mork and Mindy.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I might have to go back and watch a lot of these, most of his best work happened when i was either too young to understand it or appreciate it.

me too. I don't remember seeing one for many years.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Meaningful late innings.  Could the be harbinger for meaningful Septembers?

[alskntwnsfn]

Another out on Oakland.

Now that's an optimist!

[snepp]

Welcome back Joe Mauersie.

[Riverbrian]

Atta Boy Joe... And Dozier on the bases!!! Love it.

[alskntwnsfn]

Nice! Way to go Joe!

[snepp]

Oh, and attaboy Doziersie.

[snepp]

Asstros™.

[alskntwnsfn]

Now that's an optimist!

That's what I was thinking.

[stringer bell]

Shades of April. Great base running by Dozier!

[ashbury]

Mauer!

 

And how many crow-hops did that LFer take, allowing Dozier to grab the extra run?

[Riverbrian]

You normally don't see LF'ers that stupid in the Majors... Not since Delmon Young anyway

[alskntwnsfn]

Oh, and attaboy Doziersie.

Doozy?

[twinsnorth49]

Damn that Mauer and his hitting tendencies!

Aladdin is the one that comes to mind.  (Six kids - I've seen it a lot.)

[Thegrin]

Oh Lord! Now I am going to start hoping that Joe Mauer can hit like Joe Mauer for the rest of the season.

[twinsnorth49]

Aladdin is the one that comes to mind. (Six kids - I've seen it a lot.)

 

Good one Gil, he was brilliant in that one.

[ashbury]

Took a chance on a deadpan joke, being passive-aggressive in indirect response.  Sometimes they backfire.

[gil4]

Mauer!

Enough to start growing black feathers, I think.

[Riverbrian]

Aladdin is the one that comes to mind.  (Six kids - I've seen it a lot.)

6 kids?

 

Well... That's one way to live your life.

[alskntwnsfn]

Damn that Mauer and his hitting tendencies!

Yeah yeah, I'm glad it worked out, but still... We might see the first 5 man infield in a long time at some point against him.

[D. Hocking]

I am guessing there are a bunch of people on the Strib page upset because they were all ready to post a comment how Mauer is not clutch and only hits meaningless singles and has destroyed the Twins, the moose population, and the water level of White Bear Lake.

 

I liked Dead Poet's Society when it came out.  It would be interesting to see what I think of it as an adult.  I saw it at that age when you tend to think a lot of things are deep.  I thought he did some good voice work for Aladin.

[Puckett34]

Definitely an odd end to a 2-RBI single
