"Watching" on Gameday.  What happened?

[formerly33]

 

Arcia can go with him. He'll never grow up

Yeah. Speaking of never growing up, talk about the Royals. Let's send him over to their bench. The only person who could ever control Arcia anyway was Morales, so they could shape him up a bit and have a good strong arm for their brawls.

Arcia ran through a red light (where's the traffic police? I though the umpires were supposed to do that job) and was thrown out by ten feet.

  I'd send him to the Expos.

[Gibby]

 hehehe, that guy was a disaster,

[formerly33]

You mean put him down as a player of the past?

[stringer bell]

Pelf gets some rope for his last two outings.  I think Milone is on the hot seat.

[USAFChief]

I'm more upset he was thrown out by 40 feet than the fact he ran through a late stop sign.

 

A two out hit to the outfield with a runner on second should always be at least close.  And I'd send the runner almost every time and make the defense throw him out.

  I'd like to see him play with Tim Raines.

You mean you want a better 3rd base coach? I think this was totally Arcia's fault. The kid's got a head full of himself. Game after game he thinks he's going to make himself look cool and starts showing off, and every single time he makes a fool of himself. You'd think he'd have grown up by now. He must have a really thick skull...perfect for those KC brawls.

[David HK]

Oh, so that's what happened.  I was wondering-   3 hits and 0 runs...  Twinkie baseball- at least the Twinkie baseball we've come to expect these last few years.  What an embarrassment.

[USAFChief]

By the by, concur with earlier kudos...great job Danchat!

[stringer bell]

OK, was last year's offense a total mirage?  If not, this club is really due to break out.  Where is the power?

[ashbury]

I wonder what the Twins record is when they strike out more hitters than they strike out themselves.

I was away for a bit, and am surprised to come back and find that no one has looked up the correct answer.

 

0-0.

0-0.

You didn't look it up, did you?

[formerly33]

 

You didn't look it up, did you?

Or is that what you were doing while you were away?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Is it worth learning the rules for cricket where they have a less subjective strike zone equivalent?

[Gibby]

0-0.

 

  If it were cricket, I know off the top of my head.

[ashbury]

You didn't look it up, did you?

Didn't see a need. Some stats you just memorize.

[USAFChief]

 

You didn't look it up, did you?

I was gonna go with "link?" but I like your style.

[formerly33]

 

Didn't see a need. Some stats you just memorize.

I thought so.

[Gibby]

Simultaneous cricket references. Sweet.

[USAFChief]

I don't trust Pelfrey as far as I can throw him, but he has acquited himself pretty well recently.

[Tibs]

So Mike Pelfrey...

[USAFChief]

Stepped away from the party and still not much going on ... but my care package got mailed to my niece ... now I'm back just in time to see the Twins go ahead and win

Perhaps so.  It's just so frustrating seeing the whole bloody team look completely helpless and clueless so much of the time.  Gee, if you're going to suck, why not "battle your tail off," at least.  Makes me miss Little Nicky, almost.

[SydneyTwinsFan]

_{Good job Pelf.  Enjoying the cricket references}

[formerly33]

Okay, I did my research. I had to go back shockingly far before I found THIS game.

[Tibs]

Nick Punto used to be my favorite player, especially after Torii Hunter left.
