Twins have a 4.5% chance of making the playoffs.

Never tell me the odds...

[Riverbrian]

 

Never tell me the odds...

 

He can tell me the odds. 

 

It's a change of pace from always being told that I'm odd. 

[stringer bell]

Tight zone. Milone likes to get a couple inches off the black.

[Riverbrian]

With Camera Angles and such... The Exact Zone is something that I'm never sure about. 

 

Until they put that box up with the circles.

Regarding Torii Hunter, one of the Baltimore announcers asks, "How long can you leave him in?"

 

I have harped on this for awhile, but I can't see Torii starting the last 40 games of the year. He has to pull himself (with Molitor's approval and/or nudging) very soon.

 

(When Hicks gets back?)

Are we sure the box and circles are right? They, whoever they are, could be fooling with us.

[JB_Iowa]

I'll take it.  Nothing like a run on a walk.

Parallax is a cruel... something or other. I am never sure i do the geometry right to account for it either...

I thought Nuñez was struck out about four times.

[spinowner]

That was a great BB.

[Squirrel]

Good thing you weren't the homeplate umpire.

I guess he can tell me them too...

 

I just like quoting popular movies if they seem apropo. Does that make me odd?

 

If it doesn't, i'm sure there's plenty of other things that might.

 

Does that make us even?

[wickedslider]

Looks like Nunez's 4-11 experience against the opposing pitcher helped him in that at bat to draw a walk and get an rbi.

[jimbo92107]

Milone looks good tonight. Sharp control. See if the Twinks can start knocking around Chen here.

[Hrbowski]

Machado is so cocky...

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Machado is so cocky...

And good.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sano's on second...

[Winston Smith]

Just in that slide was a 4.9 on the Richter Scale.

That's a lot of man belly flopping on the dirt there.

Yeah... Exactly.

Just glad he's safe.

 

(And he didn't do a cannon ball)

[JB_Iowa]

Time for some runs, boys!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hey, Hunter's on second too. He didn't slide...

[Winston Smith]

Torii got a hit, that will keep him in the lineup for a couple more weeks.

[Riverbrian]

That's exactly how my golf game works. One good Drive or one good iron shot and I'll come back and try again. 

 

 

[JB_Iowa]

Did anyone not see that HR coming?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Circus Boy Update:

 

There seem to be a lack of Circus Boy Updates.

 

Is this because the Lefties are crafty? (ala the 80's Beastie boys song)

So nothing is happening?

 

Or because we have been negligent about updating?

 

Er...

 

I should keep my mouth shut... A runners at corners dinger Puts the 0's up 3-1 in the 6th...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Did anyone not see that HR coming?

Me.

 

I was busy typing.

[Ultima Ratio]

You have got to pitch inside, dagnabit!  Way too comfortable up there.
