Article: Things to Think About (Game Thread, 4/10 3:10pm)

Well, Paper Lace has a good excuse -- they're from England and didn't read maps apparently.

 

I think I was about 4 or 5 when he had that 45 and the song was on the radio.  I wondered who Chicago was and thought it was sad that she died.  In retrospect, I might not have been that bright as a child - not quite as low as Strib IQ -- but I don't think there were discussions if I should start school early,

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Glad you did...because the Twins don't.

what if there's a finite amount of capitilization. would us doing so make it less likely the twins will?

 

i will put it off for the good of the team!

 

oh, i've missed a low impact game, it would seem?

[Willihammer]

 

 

The really friendly ones give a one-arm man hug if we see you walking on the street.

I can only imagine what its like to make the trek to Sturgis on a motorcycle. Between getting waved at by other riders and the waves from SD'ans in their cars, you would have to be waiving with both hands at all time I imagine.

Cutting and pasting doesn't count. It's just not a genuine anything when you do that

Impressed with Millone.

I suspect, at least for awhile, Mauer might have a few at bats where the pitcher is not going to worry about walking him for fear of who is batting behind him.

 

My thought as well. I tend to dislike Mauer's walks with runners on, but he had nuthin to swing at either time. And who can blame the pitcher? Hunter looks like he can't get around on a 90MPH fastball right now.

Mil-0-0-0-0-0-ne!

Idle time.... thinking of new nicknames for our new stopper...

 

Anybody....?

 

OK, I'll start...

 

 

Tommy "Smoke and Mirrors" Milone

Close! South Dakotans are truly a laid-back bunch. We raise corn, not hell.

[Squirrel]

 

You're thinking about it all wrong. By driving their cars they are paying your city $25 in tolls every mile. You should wave, like they do in South Dakota.

I don't think Chicago collects those tolls ... the state does. But I do think the city should charge a toll for driving in downtown, like London does.

 

Oh, and I wave ... one fingeredly

It's not as though he throws a lot of smoke.

[Mill1634]

Milone looks like he should be the number 1 guy on a staff like ours.

[Halsey Hall]

Off to the Miracle game.

[bird]

 

Now there's a dilemma. Risk your life on the road with Chicago drivers or risk your life on the El with Chicago gangbangers.

 

 

Waiting for this comment to be retweeted by Blyleven.

[Hrbowski]

Tommy Milone will be the opening day starter next year with the way we have been pitching.

[Mill1634]

Nice to see from Dozier!!

[Hrbowski]

GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOOOAAAAARRRRD!!!!!!!!

 

[ashbury]

DOZIER!

 

/ edit - Looks like the MLB.tv feed is 60 seconds behind the rest of the world. I shall refrain from posting further scoops.

[JB_Iowa]

Big first one.

[Mill1634]

Why is Escobar leaving the team?

[stringer bell]

 

DOZIER!

Ash capitalizes.

[Hrbowski]

 

Why is Escobar leaving the team?

His fiance had a baby.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

does that mean we can capitalize again?

 

(and spell?)

 

well done dozier.

[Mill1634]

 

His fiance had a baby.

So do we get to call someone up, or play with 24?

[Willihammer]

 

GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOOOAAAAARRRRD!!!!!!!!

YESSSSSSSSS

 

MERCY!!!!1!1!!!!1

[Circus Boy]

Milone all by himself has lowered the team ERA from 7.88 to 6.51 through 5 innings.

[bird]

 

Flowers is a terrible catcher

 

Yeah, I wouldn't trade them Pinto even-up. Wouldn't want to give up Pinto's defense.

[ashbury]

 

Ash capitalizes.

SO DID DOZIER.
