I agree, Bark is a game thread MVP.

This worked once before. Let's give it another shot.

 

Just quoting it so i can see it again without going back to a previous page.

 

Really got nothin' to add. It says it all.

[Comrade Bork]

Swing the bat Buxton! You got this.

Kaat's outfit is not flattering at all.

After hearing Dan Gladden's most recent ad, I'm wondering what the Twins' station's rating is. You know ... "Looking for the best night's sleep of your life? [or something along that line] Look no further than my pillow." Hm, Danny ....

[Gibby]

Crap, Dick just set Roy up to babble ad infinitum.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And Mauer starts us off right.

 

But don't get too comfortable at first base, Mr. Mauer (as a runner, that is)

[Blake]

Could be worse, Orlando Hudson could be Dick's broadcast partner.

[Whammy]

I'm going to set up a 2nd account and have the username "10 others"

Then like a bunch of people's posts.

Everyone will be so happy.

Until Brock bans you and all the likes disappear, that is.

That might be hilarious.

The fact that the Twins are still in the playoff hunt speaks volumes as to how far they've come this season.     But for me one of the biggest changes has been games like tonight.

 

The past four seasons, when the Twins gave up four in the first, my usual thought process was     a)   how much longer will the starter be in the rotation,     b]   will he get knocked out in the second or the third, and   c)   will it be just a regular loss or a blowout?

 

This year, it's 'let's see if they can bounce back and make a game of it'.    And this season the answer has been 'yes' far more often than I've expected.

[clank2000]

OMG Plouffe! This will be up there as one of the highest GIDP seasons ever.

[David HK]

Heh.... Poof grounded into a DP.  And in other news....

 

FFS.

 

Cripe, Vargas can ground into DPs.  Why ain't he in that spot, and Poof down in the 6 or 7 hole where he belongs?

 

F'in Molly.  I had such hope this year for Non-Gardenhire.  But my honeymoon with the Hall of Famer was over long ago.

[howeda7]

I won't shed too many tears when Plouffe is traded in December...

It's like Gretzky to Jari Kurri, if Kurri missed the net by ten feet every time...

[David HK]

Cripe again.  A blind monkey on a Sauza bender could throw darts at a lineup card and do better than this.

You have inspired me to try to come up with a thoughtful, insightful post.  Check in next season. I'll blow you guys away. Once.

Haw haw haw!  I nearly got a snot bubble.

I haven't watched tennis for years, but ChiTown can't stop talking about it so I finally decided to check it out. I know nothing about Serena and Venus. Somebody help me out. Are they sisters? Which one's older?

 

Forgive me for my ignorance ... I'm trying to correct that.

[Gibby]

Here comes the 7th inning magic. Full of missed pickoffs, passed balls, wild pitches, and Texas leaguers.

[LaBombo]

Hmmm.   How to put this?    If correcting ignorance is your goal, you...  maaaay not be in the right place.     Don't go, just...  don't get your hopes up.

My ignorance has always been my charm.

That, and your sensitive nose and piercing gaze.

I don't think the chicken is done.

Give it time.

At first I thought it was going to burn, but now it's cooking way too slow.

[Gibby]

So, the kid I brag about all the time is coming home tomorrow. Cant wait to see her. Her home town is the one place she doesnt get gawked at.

I'll go to Wiki ... not allowed to use that for references in school papers, but it should do.

I want a failed rundown!!!

Woof!

Venus is older and bigger than Serena, who has more Grand Slam titles.
