Duffy needs to go the distance

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I love bad jokes!!!

I'm not sure i got it...

 

And i hesitate to ask it to be explained 'cause i've already been chided on that account.

 

But is blue crab anything like blue cheese? The only connection i can make is crab rangoons...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I don't like seein' Escobar out at the plate... But otherwise this inning has been pretty satisfactory.

[Ultima Ratio]

Where do I sign up for 3B coach, I mean REALLY?

[howeda7]

WTF, Eduardo?

[Riverbrian]

 

Let's get this party started!

 

OK... Bark... Now we need Sano in full hunting gear with a machine gun standing over the bird. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

WTF, Eduardo?

If i ever get an honorary degree or knighthood, i'm going to try to finnagle the letters WTF to put after my name...

[spinowner]

I think Esco would have been out whether he hesitated around third or not. Would have been close.

[LaBombo]

 

Hunter had a decent AB and Kurt Klutch comes through. We're comin' now....

And thanks for not going with 'Suzuki Klutch'.    That probably spared me from a college flashback involving a socket wrench and a broken window.

You can take some scene from Preditor franchise if your lacking inspiration...

Gene Glynn blew that one. He hesitated before waving his arm for Escobar to keep going. That's why Esco broke stride, he wasn't sure Glynn was sure, and so on...out.

[DiscGolfer]

well, so much for the no-no

[ScrapTheNickname]

Gene Glynn - who is he anyway, and what he did do to become our third base coach? He is from Waseca. A local boy. Short bus ride home, Gene.

Not if he hesitated an entire at bat...

[spinowner]

Hicks catches that.

[howeda7]

It's so painful watching Hunter play now. Who else is at AAA than can be called up? Can we just call up Kepler now?

[Winston Smith]

See this proves Terry didn't need to trade all our best prospects for help we just needed to face bad pitching.

The Twins motto?

 

"And so on ... out."

 

 

[Bark's Lounge]

 

Hey Bark, I didn't see you out here for a while.  You must be back from Kerguelen Island (which I had to google).  

But while there, did you run across any Kerguelen Shags?

No shag like a Kerguelen Shag, I always heard.

 

That is correct David. We do shag them sometimes. It can get awful lonely on that god forsaken island. We also eat them, along with penguins. You can only eat so much fish, and the fish of the South Indian Ocean is nothing to write home about.

[LaBombo]

 

Duffy needs to go the distance

 

And maybe he can Ease Hunter's Pain after his low diving board dive for that ball in the corner...

[spinowner]

Nice escape!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Nice escape!

Concur.

 

This Duffey seems like a keeper.

[DiscGolfer]

I like Glynn better than whoever was 3 base coach a few years ago.  Was that Vavra a couple years ago?  He had no idea when to send a runner home.

[Riverbrian]

Good Wiggle!!! Wiggled right out of that sucker. 

[jimbo92107]

It's fun watching a curve ball specialist. Most mlb pitchers have an okay curve, but Duffey is one of the rare pitchers that just loves to throw that hook.

Oh, congrats on 12k.

 

Wasn't paying attention. Did ya do aught to celebrate it or mark the occasion?

Well, see, RB's game intro referenced crabby.  And then blue crabs.  

 

So North, being clever, made a "crabby" reference, tying his comment back to the intro.  "Blue," of course, is another way of saying "sad."

 

So....crabby, and blue.

 

Blue crabs.

 

Blue crabby.

 

Or something like that.  I thought it was funny.  Maybe I overthought it.

Do we nick name folk?

 

Would Mr. Gong show be apt for an adept with the hook?

Shoot... I didn't notice and I missed it. 

 

Post 12K was supposed to contain references to Top Gun... Switzerland and Dogs that don't look like Dogs.

Nope... It was the perfect amount of thought... It was hilarious........... umm... in a bad joke kind of way.
