Joe... Take a look at 2nd... Before you wait 5 seconds to tag the runner waking down the 1st base line.

thanks bri, you said it better than me

[Jham]

Can anyone remember Mauer EVER going for the lead in sac situation?

[COtwin]

Hicks probably does.  But I am chalking that up to not being used the game yet:)

 

Jeez Mauer, like it's not bad enough you are a negative on the offensive side, but you keep needing to reaffirm that you aren't great on defense.  Those plays are mental too.

Trevor May did a pretty good job, now we need to score.

[Jham]

What are you guys watching during commercials?  Anything better than DDD on Food?

The game thread.

Yes.

 

In Boston, Joe sacrificed to give the Twins the lead.

 

Well, courtesy of the pitcher going for the lead runner at third, and throwing it through I Don't Know's legs.

[Jham]

May battled out of that, but he's having a lil trouble locating and lots of balls between the belt and letters...

 

[COtwin]

I am doing homework for a PLTW teaching course.  Nice little deadspace on MLB.TV instead of commercials.  Nice ratio of game watching to homework.

[Craig Arko]

Da Daily Dozier Double.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh yeah.

 

CBU, the Cardinals scored a run in the 3rd due to Buxton missing after a long run going for a triple.

 

(Like several of those against the Rangers)

 

1-0 after 3.

 

Now Dozier's on second, and that's halfway to evening the score, in some estimation...

I can't but I can't speak for everyone.

 

Bottom line... Getting the lead runner is a rare opportunity but that's how the game is played when you are fully engaged.

 

Settling for the free out is like taking the first offer from the banker in Deal or no Deal.

[Sam Morley]

anybody else have the radio broadcast on and hear Dazzle say the Cardinals are "sundamentally found."

[Hrbowski]

Mauer had a good at bat.

I just started watching via MLB TV.

 

During commercials breaks it just says We'll be Back.

 

It's kinda uncomfortable... I kinda miss the commercials. I've been conditioned!!!

  I like Hannah and her horse.

[Bark's Lounge]

What the heck is going on? Plouffe was suppose to hit 3 HRs today... Come on Trev - man up and birthday this ****!

[Riverbrian]

I like Hannah and her horse.

It's been done before... But I gotta repeat the joke:

 

What Horse?

[Bark's Lounge]

 

 

  I like Hannah and her horse.

Yeah, I seen that show in Tijuana too.

[USAFChief]

 

  I like Hannah and her horse.

there's a horse??

[Jham]

I saw something like that in Mexico once...  Seriously, Guy Fierri ordered a 15 inch hotdog with habenara peppers and onions out of a school bus.... uh oh, crushed...  anyway, it was called a "homewrecker" and probably belongs at a ball park.  

 

May needs to get the ball down.  Seriously?  Again?

[Hrbowski]

Trevor May is getting us out of this game in a hurry, giving up Molina's first homer in over a year.

[Riverbrian]

Trevor should stop doing that

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Good pick by Escobar. Sorry the fella beat it out...

I will sell you something between innings.

 

Just send me your credit card info, and we'll figure out the product later.

[Blake]

When I wrote touch 'em all Trevor May I didn't mean Trevor was supposed to allow opposing hitters to touch 'em all.

[Jham]

Probably wouldn't have made a difference, but it looked like Mauer only half stretched there....

 

I'ma stop piling on now.  Come on bats!  We need a slump buster.  Arcia was usually good for that last year...  Buxton can get this team fired up in a hurry if he can start hitting.

Idle game thread comment, interrupted by game action.

 

I hate that!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

CBU:

 

3-0 Cards after 4.

 

Back to back homeruns is for the birds.

I can't crack the code, but their is a male private part joke hidden within these words somewhere.
