Kurt Suzuki with A HIT!

[Riverbrian]

Winning this game is more important than normal because we face Wacha tomorrow.

[Riverbrian]

I had no idea your standards were so high!

If they were called PurpleBerries... Yeah... I would have bought them.

[USAFChief]

"Blueberries are big in this part of the state. I didn't buy them because they were more purple than blue."

 

Here in Arizona we call those "plums."  Weird.

Wacha wacha.

Inconcievable.

[formerly33]

Wow, we've seen a lot of stuff this game. The most recent is Robinson striking out twice in one at-bat.

[Platoon]

Is it possible that not not only the umpires biase against our lads, but also the radar guns. Whenever our boys are pitching the gun refuses to register over 93!

[Platoon]

To be fair, I bet your girlfriend has little good to say about your wife, either.

Actually I have found it works best when my wife and my GF don't speak to each other, or for that matter know each other.

[Blake]

I was just thinking that a triple wouldn't score Suzuki because Robinson would catch Suzuki..and then a wild pitch. heh.

[stringer bell]

Fien for a second inning, much better than going with Thompson or Duensing.

I'm no expert, but I'd guess it might work out best if they didn't know about each other.

And apparently you put them in a Christmas Pie

 

I stuck in my thumb trying to pull one out and my Wife yelled at me "what the hell are you doing? Get your damn thumb out of the pie"!!!

[USAFChief]

Woulda made it much closer, yeah.

[stringer bell]

Nice job, Fien.

[Platoon]

also if Robinson hits 2 more triples he will tie the record for most in a game! Set by my name sake George Strief (spelled differently, probably no relation) in 1885. That would be pretty cool although highly unlikely

Would George be there to congratulate Shafer?

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.

[stringer bell]

Buck with another chance to do something at the plate.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Honestly Buxton just needs to put the ball on the ground and he'll reach base, he's that fast.

Lotta ways one could go with this.  

 

None of em ok for TD.

I know I guy who went there, but parking tickets are not his sweet spot.

[SwainZag]

It's great to see Escobar with some good at bats. We could use some of the Escobar of 2014 up at the plate.

[Platoon]

Now you tell me?  Two hours later?

But you read it two hours earlier! (Please don't reply, this could go on forever.)

[GCTF]

Good grief.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Horrible call Molitor

[USAFChief]

Can this rook do ANYthing right?

They should have mailed you by now. I got a speeding ticket in Milwaukee and I got three letters the next week offering their services to fight it.

 

I didn't tell my wife about the speeding ticket. The lawyers told her via the mail.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

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

 

Now Buxton's on base!

[Winston Smith]

Well at least they didn't make a big deal  out of Buxton coming up or we could be disappointed.

I would go with the almost always successful "I wasn't parked there" defense!
