Game Thread Twins vs Blue Jays, 5/31, 1:10pm CT

[GCTF]

 

Stauffer sighting

Urge to kill, rising.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Stauffer CBU: 1 up, 1 down.

[USAFChief]

The bottom of the first looms large, right now, IMO.

 

Run in, one out, runners on first and second, and Suzuki hits a rocket that's a double into the corner if it isn't right at Donaldson.  That scores a run, 2nd and 3rd, at worst, pitcher reeling.  

 

Lotta game left yet though.  Hang in there and put together an inning.

[USAFChief]

GCTF sighting.

[Gibby]

 

  Rat's, I gotta go do this. I at least have to break a sweat, and look like I've been battling my tail off, before the missus gets home.

[GCTF]

EE may be slower than a Molina brother.

[Craig Arko]

That's Doctor Tarr.

Doctor Hu?

[USAFChief]

wow.  Nice adjustment Dozier.

[GCTF]

 

GCTF sighting.

I should probably puts some pants on.

[Gibby]

 

Doctor Hu?

 

  Alan Parsons tune. You have to be old, or Bark.

[USAFChief]

 

I should probably puts some pants on.

Who hasn't been there?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

wow.  Nice adjustment Dozier.

Yup, ball bounced off Stauffer, and Dozier was still able to field it, and get the out at first.

 

(Bautista had walked, reasonably being pitched around after a loud foul)

 

Alas, Baustista comes into score on a single up the middle to follow.

 

Assuming Colabello doesn't do anything, that's a Toronto up 4-1 CBU.

[USAFChief]

Other than the lack of stuff, lack of command, and inability to field his position, I'm not sure why everyone is so down on Stauffer.

I look forward to the multi year extension announcement.

[GCTF]

Random non game related musing....I see Bartolo Colon hit a double today. That must have been interesting.

[USAFChief]

Hutchison shouldn't be cruising like this.  He's not that good.

[USAFChief]

I saw it live.

 

Interesting indeed.

 

He actually hit a stand up triple, and legged it into a double.

[USAFChief]

Glorm...we know you're lurking.  Show yourself.

We're lulling them into a false sense of security...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

His soccer skills, apparently.

[USAFChief]

 

We're lulling them into a false sense of security...

Possibly.  Stauffer on the mound will help, in that case.

[Circus Boy]

 

We're lulling them into a false sense of security...

 

Uh, it may not be false at this stage.

[Craig Arko]

Time for Rally Kiss Cam.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Stauffer gets an assist on a single up the middle, deflecting it into left field, and follows that with a double play ball, and a nice stop by Mauer for a text book 2-2-3 inning.

 

Still 4-1 going into the bottom of the 6th.

 

(CB, do i have to keep saying 4-1?)

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Uh, it may not be false at this stage.

Ah, that's the old double bluff!

[glunn]

 

Glorm...we know you're lurking.  Show yourself.

 

I am trying to do as little as possible today.

[USAFChief]

 

I am trying to do as little as possible today.

Glorm!!

 

Can I draw you a beer?

 

Now you type:  "No, I know what they look like.  Just pour me one."

[USAFChief]

Tie this puppy up, Plouff-see.

 

EDIT:  TIE THIS PUPPY UP, PLOUFF-SEE!!

[GCTF]

Huzzah!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Tie this puppy up, Plouff-see.

Done and done.

 

This puppy now has teeth...
