Schweet.

[Circus Boy]

 

Ha, they fell for our gambit, getting Escobar at 3rd.

Now Buxton's on base!

 

You called it.

[SwainZag]

EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE!!

[Vanimal46]

I can get used to Rosario knocking in Buxton.....

[stringer bell]

Eddie! Buxton "walks" home.

[SwainZag]

Seriously Buxton doesn't run, he just glides

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I take back my criticism of Molitor

[jimbo92107]

Every day Eddie!

 

Buxton scores his first run, rounding third by the time the ball bounced up in the air...fast.

[stringer bell]

A little more cold water--when teams are in a losing streak, there's usually a blown save or two mixed in.

[USAFChief]

 

They should have mailed you by now. 

They fee-mailed me.

[Riverbrian]

They fee-mailed me.

Thanks Chief... You know my love of bad jokes

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

One more out to go, and we got this.

[formerly33]

BALLGAME!!!!

 

And you can thank Paulitor Maul!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Thanks Chief... You know my love of bad jokes

That was a bad joke?

[Hrbowski]

WE WHUPPED THEM, WE WHUPPED THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!! YOU'LL THINK TWICE BEFORE MESSING WITH PAUL L. MOLITOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

And Buxton initiates his first 3-man chest bump outfielder celebration as a starting Center Fielder, with many more to come!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

One more out to go, and we got this.

I think we got this.

 

Mark you, it's not said and done 'til i hear from Chief, but i got a good feelin'...

[USAFChief]

winnah!

[jimbo92107]

Hey you know what? The new Buxton kid seems okay, but more important, the team won. Maybe he's good luck. Let's keep him around for a while!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

winnah!

That's the ticket!

[stringer bell]

Interesting game. What were the Twins with RISP? I know it wasn't very good. Hughes was only so-so, but the bullpen was good. How often do you lose a game when the opponents dive and miss four balls? Still they only won by one run.

[USAFChief]

 

Interesting game. What were the Twins with RISP? 

Dunno, but if it's gonna take 3 triples per inning to score one run, it's gonna be a tough year.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh yeah, if i didn't say so already...

 

Welcome back to the game threads, Mr. Riverbrian.

 

Hope we kept 'em warm enough for ya.

I am happily waiting for one of the TD site owners to publish the Buxton debut article thread tonight. Buxton is gonna be good. It's unbelievable how fast he is.

When I saw him in the AFL last fall, I wasn't overly impressed with the bat.  (of course, it was only a couple games)

 

But watching him run was startling.

On my trip to Boston, I got a parking ticket from something called the "Harvard Police Dept" whilst visiting a museum at some two bit university.

 

Anybody know a good lawyer?  Preferably one trained at said two bit Boston university?

 

I'm thinking of fighting it.

Too bad you weren't there when they gave you the ticket. Then you could have played Susan..."Thank you very much! I'd love to go to the circus, but you better keep your tickets because I'm busy tonight."
