Slowpoke Plouffe squeaks in from first on a double, due to a missed cutoff man. 3-0 Twins with 1 out. CBU.

So where has Bert been?

way to jinx it, dummy

  I can relate.

Just admit it, you really don't care.

[Hrbowski]

Nice to see that we keep scoring runs early.

[Gibby]

  I miss Bert. He eats sometimes, so he isn't talking.

[Hrbowski]

Aaron Hicks was being aggressively patient.

[ashbury]

A mystery batter lays off the off-speed pitch down, with two strikes. Who are you, and what have you done with Aaron Hicks?

 

_{^{/ I don't care that he went on to strike out.}}

[Circus Boy]

Bert doesn't travel anymore, no?

[diehardtwinsfan]

I miss Bert. He eats sometimes, so he isn't talking.

I suppose it could be worse. Imagine having to listen to Hawk Harleson for 162 games. I'm pretty sure my IQ would go into the negative.

[ashbury]

  I can relate.

Running slowly, missing cutoff men, or scoring three runs in the first?

[ashbury]

Big Pelf's got this.

[Gibby]

 

Running slowly, missing cutoff men, or scoring three runs in the first?

 

  Yes.

[Gibby]

Glad Joe caught that.

[Craig Arko]

Florimon makes that play.

[Gibby]

 

Florimon makes that play.

 

  Punto would have turned it unassisted.

[Gibby]

Dick just called Pittsburgh, "The Tigers".

[ashbury]

  Yes.

Concur.

 

Meanwhile, Halsey needs to be alerted yet again that Plouffe made a nice play to his right.

[Gibby]

 

 

  Pelf did not look like the best athlete on the field on that one.

[ashbury]

Dick just called Pittsburgh, "The Tigers".

Yeah, I thought I caught that, and dismissed it.

 

 

[Hrbowski]

 

  Pelf did not look like the best athlete on the field on that one.

That is because he is the second best athlete on the field.

[Gibby]

 

  Alverez looks like a pirate.

[Gibby]

 

Yeah, I thought I caught that, and dismissed it.

 

  I cant let that one go.

[Hrbowski]

Nice pitch by Pelf!

[ashbury]

  Alverez looks like a pirate.

Pelfrey looks like a pitcher.

[Hrbowski]

Mike Pelfrey IS the best athlete on the field!

[JB_Iowa]

Pelfrey  

 

Their fielders fumble around with the ball, too.

If that's style, then I'm glad I have none.
