[sampleSizeOfOne]

1-0 half way through 3 on a sac fly. Gibson didn't quite escape that one...

 

Now is the time to get it back.

 

(Oh yeah... CBU)

[70charger]

 

   I went to a concert with my kids last night, so today is mine.

 

Where? I thought at least one of your kids was living in Europe somewhere. 

[70charger]

With Buxton's speed, he'd have made it close anyway.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Not to belabor a point, but look who's on first!

  We went to a show at The Bank. Yeah, it was 2 of my kids. The other one lives in Italy in the winter, but is training for the world Gran Prix in Anaheim.

Third. I mean third.

 

Oh well...

 

Not goin' any further, sadly.

 

Still 1-0 cubs' cbu

[70charger]

That was ...weird. 

[Gibby]

  Twins Baseball.

[Blake]

I think the Cubs catcher thought he was throwing ground ball practice and the Cubs SS sort of failed.

A nice Dickbert conversation about ducks. "A duck, unless it's in the water, is just a bird." "Yes. Yes it is."

 

Wat?

  Do you guys remember when Dick got so offended when Bert called a texas leager a duck fart?

[Gibby]

  That was a sweet pick-off.

[mikecgrimes]

If molitor is going to refuse to challenge reversible calls he needs to be fired.

Was Hunter's hit there a duck fart?

[Gibby]

 

Was Hunter's hit there a duck fart?

 

 

  I reckon so.

that's one way of looking at it.

[stringer bell]

Can't get Rizzo out.

Perhaps, though i postulate there are other more pressing needs...

 

Not that i'm gonna think that hard about it.

 

Oh well.

 

2-0 as Buxton watches something out his reach.

[Bark's Lounge]

Damn! Rizzo Italian Stallioned that one.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I reckon so.

I guess some ducks are just better behaved than others...

 

Now i wonder... If something baseball related were named for the Canada Goose, what would it be?

[stringer bell]

The wind seems to have picked up and blowing straight out to center, but it probably didn't make any difference. BTW, when was the last time the Twins hit a homer with a runner on?

I want to say Andrew Albers ... not sure if that will be considered a valid response.

[Whammy]

I haven't been paying 100% attention to this game, but from what I have seen this ump has been terrible.

[Aggies7]

Remember that time the twins had an offense that could get on base once in a while? That was pretty cool.

 

How much lower will buxtons BA drop until he gets a game off?

[Platoon]

The difference between Mother's Day and Father's Day:

 

Mother's Day is when dad takes the kids so Mom can have some quality time to herself!

 

Father's Day is when dad takes the kids, so they can have some quality time with their Dad!

[Hrbowski]

That Royals game is a fun one.

[Hrbowski]

That ball was up and in. Stupid ump is a Cubs fan.

[stringer bell]

Strike three looked high and tight.

[curt1965]

Will someone wake me up when this game is over?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

.... BTW, when was the last time the Twins hit a homer with a runner on?

Remember that time the twins had an offense that could get on base once in a while? ...

I'm putting off answering either of these in the hope that it soon will be recent enough i don't have to think hard...
