They learned not to test Eddie.

I wonder how Blue Cheese feels up the nose

Better than wasabi up the nose, I wager.

When was the last time anybody saw Torii Hunter even swing the bat hard, a month ago? Six weeks? He's swinging like he has no legs and his back is sore. Sit the old man down, put Buxton in there. At least Buxton might beat out a grounder.

It's obvious he is banged up, but this scenario was one a lot of people were concerned about. We were witnesses to watching youth abruptly fading into old age. I just turned 40 too this summer and I don't type as fast anymore. I started eating prunes. I watch squirrels do their thing watching from my window for hours a day. It sucks.

Better than wasabi up the nose, I wager.

Perhaps.

 

On the other hand, wasabi up the nose sounds like a self correcting problem.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

If the twins pull a fly out triple play, does the outfielder get two assists with one throw?

I got a bunch of Squirrels right outside my patio window. They even climb right up my screen... and I'm sitting 5 feet away watching. I love it.

Pelfrey with 2 bases loaded Ks.

 

One more out to get, and now we ain't picky...

My bad.

 

Shoulda held my breath like everyone else.

[GCTF]

I would like to send Mike Pelfrey somewhere that even Dog the Bounty Hunter couldn't find him.

[Ultima Ratio]

It's all happening!

[DaveW]

Pelfrey should never pitch for this team again

[David HK]

Just had time for a quick check of the game. Ahhh, Pelf. Ahhh, well.

Wouldn't you rather that Dog the Bounty Hunter found him?

[Aggies7]

I would have been less surprised if Darva Conger hit a grand slam.

 

Pelf is good at throwing sunflower seeds.

[wavedog]

Well Twins hit a Grand Slam yesterday and lost - maybe we can turn this one around as well.

[Platoon]

Hicks is good but he ain't Buxton good out there.

 

buck needs rest he has played all those games in a row and he's pushing 23 pretty soon!

[Winston Smith]

Classic case of the butterfly effect, Pelfry is so upset about the call on Mauer he can't pitch. This is all on the home umpire.

 

Or maybe Pelf just sucks!

[spinowner]

Well, a year and three months.

Here is a picture of my dog. His name is "Worthless".

 

I am having him put down tomorrow.

 

[1490]

What is the latest estimate on the return of Hughes?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Well, a year and three months.

But he's pushing it already. That's how fast he is.

[Hrbowski]

You are cruel.

I know for a fact they are better outside. I had one in the living room, they are hard to catch! But tasty!

Hey Mr. You should name that dog ****head!

[Bark's Lounge]

 

You are cruel.

I try my best.

[jimbo92107]

Does it seem like McHugh actually has stuff that good? I'm seeing a resemblance to Tyler Duffey's game. Good mix of curves with a well-placed but underwhelming heater.

[Riverbrian]

Nicely Done Plouffe

[Hrbowski]

Think the Lynx would be funner to watch?

[Riverbrian]

That's a decent 12-6 Curve he has. 

 

But you can win with that combo... Just mix it up

Having had to put down a loved pet too young already and coming back from the specter of possibly having to do it again, I hope you will understand that I don't like this.
