This Thompson girl is really having a nice start to the season!

You probably like her distant cousin, then.

Cue the banjo music!

Nice AB, Robinson.

For some reason, not so much. Not sure what it is ...

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Earlier I loved hearing Dick/Bert talk about how "Robinson is Molitor's type of player, he's really smart and receptive to coaching and situational baseball.... And strike 3 - two away"

[Squirrel]

These Milano cookies are going to be gone before this game is over ...

[ashbury]

Another non-clutch walk by Mauer.

Nice AB, Robinson.

"Climb on my back, boys, I'm carrying you today," said Shane Robinson never.

 

_{^{/ two runs today notwithstanding}}

Today I was playing baseball, and I hit a ball deep down the left field line and the bat broke, it was well out, but the umpire said, "I didn't get a good look at it" and asked the pitcher what he thought, the pitcher said it was foul, so the ump called it foul. I guess the ump was trying to get to the big leagues.

Looked foul to me.

It looks like Casey Fien might be getting ready to audition for a Lester Oliveros callup.

id like to see Stauffer or Boyer go away for Oliveros

[USAFChief]

Just a wild guess, but I'm guessing Weeks was looking slider there.

[USAFChief]

Gotta go give some bowling lessons...so spoiler alert:  we win in extras.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Fien threw that one above his head, why did he swing?

[JB_Iowa]

Fien lookin' fine.

[Craig Arko]

This is just... epic.

Yeah, Dan Gladden said, "Why do you need to pay a long reliever 2.2 million, it seems like the easiest position to replace, just go get a washed up AAA starter and pay him league minimum, he would probably perform just as good as we got."

[Squirrel]

Heh ... you'd think this was a playoff game or something ... for how much I want them to pull this out!

[ashbury]

Spoiler alert: try to knock them all down, every time, the same way each time, because they don't move on their own.

Says the man who played LF and whose OPS+ was 76 and 80 for the two pennant winners he played on, and earned good money for the era while doing so.

Ash, I hardly recognize you

I'm with ya. Everyone I work with is a Mariners fan, so this is a pretty big game for me.

I know how you feel ... I'm surrounded by ChiSox fans, so I know how much I want them to win when they are here (or the ChiSox are there). I pretty much ignore the Cubs fans.

[ashbury]

Santana should give Schafer some Bunt Mentorin'.

[formerly33]

What. Just. Happened...?

[ashbury]

Ash, I hardly recognize you

An inside joke, more or less, whose shelf life runs out right about... now.

[Hrbowski]

So ash changed it back.

[Hrbowski]

Come on Robinson, be a hero.
