[Jham]

Can't rosario bunt here?

[LaBombo]

 

It's the noneuclidean geometry right around the plate.

  Whoa, slow down, no need to go hyperbolic on the umpiring...

[twinsnorth49]

Oh Trevor, a little patience would be nice FFS.

[Boom Boom]

Double Play King, Trevor Plouffe.

[Jham]

First baseman was almost on the grass. ..

[ScrapTheNickname]

24 GDP, 4 short of the Twins record set by Killebrew. Ugh.

[drock2190]

League leader in double plays hit into comes through again!

[jimbo92107]

Well, maybe I should cough up my faux pho recipe. Nothing too complicated.

 

Package of Ramen, doesn't matter what kind. Break the noodles inside the package, so you don't have to cut them with a spoon later.

 

Locate a Jethro Bowl. That's the size used by Jethro Clampett in Beverly Hillbillies. Into that bowl/bucket throw a couple handfuls of mixed frozen veggies, the smashed noodles, the spice packet and enough water to get about an inch from the top.

 

At this point you can spice to taste, but what I add is a couple squirts of oyster sauce, sriracha, and soy sauce (Kimlan, baby). Then a few shakes of Chinese five spice, some chopped onions, and a little granulated garlic.

 

Last part is the meat, which for me is either frozen chicken or that fake crab stuff. Nuke the whole mess for about 7 minutes, however long it takes to boil.

 

This will make four servings, or one big serving that will add about 5 pounds to your disgusting, unforgivable gut.

Actually Plouffe leads both leagues in GIDP.

[Vanimal46]

Whine Line regulars role call: mike, diehard, Jdude, BARK, are you here?

[LaBombo]

 

 

Can't rosario bunt here?

He should not bunt it in the fourth,

he should not bunt it to the north,

 

he should not bunt it in the air,

he should not bunt it anywhere,

 

I don't like bunting, Molitor,

Stop it now, or out the door.

 

[LaBombo]

Like, combined, or just... either?

[jimbo92107]

I wonder when Blaine Boyer will finally get busted for throwing spit balls in plain sight for the whole year...

Bunting to beat a shift w/2 outs, runner on third, pitcher with 1 hit in 2 games. .. i dunno.

I'm in... I'll give it a shot

 

However... Those Sauces kinda scare me. 

[LaBombo]

Smalley predicting Pelfrey and Boyer to be followed by JR Graham, so look for a black horse to appear.   That's what the Book of Revelation says will happen when the third seal is broken.

[Jham]

They were giving us a run and a runner if he gets it down on the right side anywhere past the pitcher.

[LaBombo]

 

Whine Line regulars role call: mike, diehard, Jdude, BARK, are you here?

Might have to settle for part-time help on weekends.  How can I help?

Two Riders were approaching and the Wind Began to Howl

All that sodium keeps by BP up there in the stroke range, where I like it. ;-)

... behold the approach of the Pail Rider, and buckets of rain shall follow him.

[Riverbrian]

Buxton is slumping because he's off a beat. He's been consistently late of late. 

 

He May be doing too much thinking up there.

 

I would never recommend not having a plan at the plate... But Buxton... Just may need to let his natural instincts take over and just react and don't think. 

[twinsnorth49]

But did a wild cat begin to howl outside in the cold distance?

[DiscGolfer]

is Plouffe trying to steal Mauer's "6-4-3" nickname?

[ScrapTheNickname]

I just wasted some time doing some math.

T. Hunter is now hitting .163 since June 30.

.163.

Let's hope that when he does, a cordless orbital sander will fall out of his pocket.

 

Umpire:  "Was that a Mouse in your pocket, or are you just sort of 'meh' to see me?"

He simply doesn't seem ready to hit at this level, frankly.

I'm just being frank.

His defense is stellar, and I'm being frank about that, too.

.163.

so he's starting to improve?

[ScrapTheNickname]

Did ya'll know that "sano" in Spanish means "healthy."

Perhaps I've come up with his nickname: Healthy! Yes?

[twinsnorth49]

Conger is as bored with this game as I am.
