Way to keep that all-important sixth run from scoring.

[Riverbrian]

I'm very glad i don't have to cook for you.  

Yeah... You are always putting stuff into stuff.

[LaBombo]

Even the other team's OF's converging on each at high speed has me wincing due to the mental image of the replay of the Buxton/Kvasnicka collision.

[Thegrin]

If we really do come back I don't know if I could handle it.

[JB_Iowa]

Yeah... You are always putting stuff into stuff.

 

Only when I'm not being lazy.... and lately I seem to be lazier and lazier.

[stringer bell]

Unforgivable to be picked off in that situation. I think Plouffe might have got lucky.

[Riverbrian]

Damn it Plouffe... Inexcusable.

[Mr. Brooks]

So, now that Nolasco is healthy, and still pitching terribly, what is the new excuse? 

[JB_Iowa]

Love that Black & Gold:

Was going to make a joke about this but the effort seems a little much.

 

In other words, I've got that beat...

[LaBombo]

He's pitching terribly, and therefore not healthy.  It's just that he doesn't know it yet.

Friggin Obama.

Marny Gelner is really nice, but if she handed me $100 worth of scratch off tickets (real value = $0), something snarky would surely come out of my mouth on live TV.

Nah .... you'd probably get about $2 off them.

 

Not enough for beer money, though.

[JB_Iowa]

Looks to me like the Kernels ought to keep wearing those black & gold unis .... currently kicking Peoria's b*tts to the tune of 11-0.

[stringer bell]

Well, six in a row retired.

[stringer bell]

Schafer has his hit against a lefty.

Marney: ...and as fan of the game... Here are 100 dollars worth of scratch off tickets from the Minnesota State Lottery?

 

Scrapthenickname: Thank You so much Marney... I have a gift for you as well... Approximately 20 napkins from the concession stand up top.

[LaBombo]

Friggin Obama.

It's possible.  He almost smoked Ahmad Rashad with a shanked tee shot the other day.  Maybe he hit Nolasco in the right elbow and there's a media coverup conspiracy.

 

I'll check with my uncle.  He's the one who broke the story that we never went to the moon.

[LaBombo]

Net take one buck after paying a bored 6 year old in your row a dollar to do the actual scratching off.

[GCTF]

Nine in a row.  Ricky is battlin'.

[Riverbrian]

Net take one buck after paying a bored 6 year old in your row a dollar to do the actual scratching off.

Nope... Price is up to 5 bucks now. Kids are passing by dollars lying on the street now.

[LaBombo]

Nine in a row.  Ricky is battlin'.

Yup. His tail is completely off for the night, I think.

[ashbury]

Well, the Twins got Ricky a lead ... let's see what hee can do with it.

I think the key to Ricky Nolasco winning games is to never get him a lead.

 

^{_{/ wait, what?}}

[LaBombo]

You're probably right, but then there's my weird ability to sometimes be able to Tom Sawyer kids into getting fired up about doing boring, repetitive tasks.  Not always, but a thing of beauty when it works.

 

Aaand Bremer with yet another cry of wolf on a can o'corn.

[GCTF]

Looks like Neddly-diddly-doodly is doin' some managin'.

[LaBombo]

That actually works if you think of it as distinct from him being credited with a Win.  Somewhere you can probably see what the team's record is when he starts games.

 

Not going to look though, because as noted earlier, lazy, but even more so because I fear that looking it up might take away my last hope that there's a way the Twins get value from his contract.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

But I sure do love watching that Kurt DiMaggi----- ahem, Suzuki..

[ashbury]

Croutons in salad?

 

If you just put the lettuce and dressing and tomatoes in between toast. It'll be the same thing.

 

Croutons in there is kinda like a salad sandwich.

Use mayonnaise as the dressing and sprinkle in some bacon bits, and you basically have a BLT if you include croutons.

[LaBombo]

Burns: "You!  Strawberry!  Hit a home run!".

 

Strawberry hits a homer.

 

Burns:  "I told him to that!"

 

Smithers:  "Brilliant strategy, sir."
