I thought I hit a manatee while tooling around Indian River, It was Hrbeck swimming laps.

Did you pet him?

[Squirrel]

 

He has the arm of a left fielder, apparently. 

 

 

 

 

Nah.. pretty much the only place to hide his noodle arm.

I was just going to reply to Scrap asking, "What? Noodly?"

[twinsnorth49]

I'm watching the Canadian feed, can anyone else hear the guy in the crowd who just keeps screaming "Phillip, Phillip" incessantly at the top of his lungs? As well as the first name of whichever Twin happens to be at the plate.

[twinsnorth49]

Nice throw by Rosario, Dozier took his eye off it.

[Squirrel]

 

Okay. Didn't see your tongue in there. Sorry.

Um, out of context, that's kind of weird.

[David HK]

Wow... Dozey.  That's the mark of a bad team.  When even the steady guys just pick exactly the wrong time for a brain fart.

[twinsnorth49]

 

Um, out of context, that's kind of weird.

Happens a lot.

[twinsnorth49]

Ahhhh ****!!!

[AlwaysinModeration]

Why do you have a LOOGY warming in the pen?

[twinsnorth49]

Oh goody, bullpen time.

[David HK]

Welp.  Give 'em 4 outs, make extra pitches, even Dioner Navarro can bite you in the bum.  And now, ladies and gentlemen, for your entertainment--- the Minny-sota BULL PEN!

[Squirrel]

 

Oh goody, bullpen time.

Um, yeah … wish there was a 'sigh, okay, resigned' button

[AlwaysinModeration]

Why is it better to wait until the run scores to bring in the lefty?

Yup, I'm hearing him. I remember back in 1987, sometime in early August when the Twins were playing in Toronto and in a funk. There were a group of fans who kept chanting/singing these lines when Puck was at bat - "We All Hate Kirby Puckett, He Can't Even Hit a Bucket."

 

Even as 12 year old, I thought that was lame and not the slightest bit innovative. 28 years later - same old shiznit.

[Gibby]

 

 

Um, out of context, that's kind of weird.

 

It's kinda weird in context as well.

[Squirrel]

Well, crap.

[Squirrel]

Okay … I'm going back to work now.

That guy is making me nuts.  If I was at the park, I'd find that doody-head and ask him politely to STFU.  But only because it's Canada, and I can reasonably be assured he's not armed.

[Gibby]

Is anyone even coaching this team?

[hybridbear]

Will the inherited runner score with O'Rourke pitching? I'd guess he will... He almost did on the hit by Goins...

Can you imagine sitting next to that guy? I'd have to politely ask him to stop.....

[David HK]

Alas, we're in this place where a 3-1 lead is insurmountable.  But it seems about to get worse....

[Gibby]

No way...We unleash In the 7th.

[Squirrel]

I want to relive that game we played against the Blue Jays where runs were wild pitched in, walked in, hit by pitch in and what not.

[Winston Smith]

Odd they didn't PH Cow Bell there for Revere.

[twinsnorth49]

 

No way...We unleash In the 7th.

Who?......how? 

 

I wish I could share your optimism but I've yet to see anyone tonight who has a clue at the plate.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Estrada with a long inning. Could be a chance to put together a rally.

[spinowner]

 

Can you imagine sitting next to that guy? I'd have to politely ask him to stop.....

Not too difficult. You just say, "Excuse me, Mayor Ford, would you be so kind to try to keep it down just a touch?"

[Gibby]

 

 

Who?......how? 

 

I wish I could share your optimism but I've yet to see anyone tonight who has a clue at the plate.

 

  I meant, there is no way we unleash in the 7th.

[Platoon]

Sorry I worded that wrong I guess. I'm originally from St Paul and now in Toronto. It's one hell of a city so the pot shots are kind of silly. Minne is tiny in comparison to Toronto. I'm forever a Twins fan however.

Toronto is f***ing huge. I don't know what they call the extra freeways on the side, but they are as big as 494! And then there is the main one in the middle, about 8 lanes also. If you are looking for the Smith St exit, the first sign might be 6 clicks before you get there.
