Smoke, mirrors, and video reviews.

There it is, on a tee, folks.

 

Take you best swing.

Am i allowed to reuse something?

I was hoping for some home runs on that one.

Blaine Boyer strolled back to his dugout, casually lifting his middle finger to FIP.

 

Not really. He struck out 1/3 of the hitters he faced in the inning.

[Gibby]

 

According to Glunn's new baseball language, Reyes is out like "2 pallets of limestone." 

 

  down to one pallet now.

Try this:

 

Mrs Glunn out of town?

I've said it before, I'll say it again...the umpires (at least on the bases) in major league baseball do a pretty fantastic job.  Miles beyond what the officials do in football and basketball.

I will say , i like replay, because it will keep them honest on the bags, and not make em up , like Cowboy Joe seems(ed) to do, the dont want to get it wrong now, where before they RULED!!!! Look at some of the plate umpires, most are good, but they like to still make that call , it seems , just to piss them off.

[Blake]

Boyer? Boyer? 

 

Closer, no problem. Next day, 8th inning...no problem.

 

Stauffer, on the other hand...

[Gibby]

 

Gibby, Glunn -- practically the same. Sorry, guys.

 

  I'll take that as a compliment.

[USAFChief]

According to the Jays' broadcast team, the Twins have had back-to-back 90 loss seasons.

[JB_Iowa]

Here, Chill out before the 9th:

 

 

[stringer bell]

Perk w/ no margin for error.

[curt1965]

Tough as it gets in the 9th for Perk. Watch for the bunt by Reyes!

[glunn]

 

  I'll take that as a compliment.

Me too.

[Craig Arko]

Gut check time.

Those that dont know HISTORY are doomed to repeat it, well it was only their announcers

pfffft, details.

[Gibby]

 

  Our closers like to add a touch of drama to their saves.

Canadians are so kind. Only giving credit for half of the Twins' "snag".

[USAFChief]

Crap.  Not a good start.

[Intramural Legend]

Our closers like to add a touch of drama to their saves.

Well, their bullpen coach was the king of the "just good enough" save

[USAFChief]

whew.

 

routine fly ball...

[Gibby]

  This feels like the Vikings D with 2 minutes left.

[Blake]

I think today's game will force the Twins hand. 

 

Either Nolasco goes on the DL or Stauffer is DFA'd to make room for another pitcher from Rochester. I expect Stauffer is DFA'd if Nolasco is truly day to day.

[Gibby]

Chicken

[GCTF]

Victory.

[USAFChief]

Winnah!

[mickeymental]

crazy as hell.

[JB_Iowa]

Yee Haw!!!

[glunn]

This may be the biggest Twins win in 4 years.
