Is that another contributing factor to the shortness of the threads?

My shirt was manufactured just fine.

Come on Buxton. Time to bust through.

Come on Buxton. Time to bust through.

Wow. No man-muscles yet. Uppercut swing, gets as far as short center.

Break on through to the other side, as it were.

 

Alas next time will hopefully also be such a time.

Argh.  Bloody day games start at 2AM here.  Waking up to news of loss #4 in a row sucks.  But not as bad as this----  (TwinsNorth- you're gonna cry, as I did)

Tragedy in Hong Kong, as 'Yonge Piggies'- HK's only Canadian/Poutine joint suddenly shuttered, just as I'm heading over for a gravy-and-cheese-curds fix.  Oh, the humanity!

Dozier's glove is starting to look as ragged as his bat. Guy looks worn out...for a guy in his 20's. Not worn out like us.

A tragedy indeed.

 

Sorry to hear it.

Yonge Piggies?

 

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives - to eat - their - bacon

On the other hand- Rugby World Cup is underway-  USA play Samoa today.  But late last night (my time), Japan shocked the world, beating South Africa in extra time!   Whaaaaaa....?!?!?

To put it in perspective, it's like the Gophers waltzing in to Tuscaloosa and swatting down the Crimson Tide.  NO, it's bigger than that-- it's like the Gophers waltzing in to Foxboro and knocking off the Pats.

Go USA! 

 

 

[Craig Arko]

Get yer mitts off my bacon.

[ashbury]

I wonder what Mike Pelfrey thinks when he sees his catcher squat and hold his mitt in a certain spot?

 

"Aw, isn't that cute? He's back to trying to guess where I'm gonna throw it."

 

_{^{/ Also, "when".}}

Some of the crawlers opted to watch the game from the Goose Island Pub:

Hint: they are the ones in the royal blue tshirts.

So you guys are Royals fans now? No Twins colors?

[wavedog]

How many times in a row can we not score a runner from 3rd with less than 2 outs?  Since everything is tracked is there a record for that?

Too bad Performance Enhancing Amphetamines (PEAs) aren't still in vogue. That woulda got him through the grind.

[wavedog]

I am ready for pennant race baseball.  Tracking the Twins on my laptop and switching watching between the Houston and Texas games.   Hopefully this switches our luck and we can win tonight's game.

[Craig Arko]

Circle us, Bert.

[ashbury]

Behave. You never know who might be reading.

Yeah, Baby!

Twins starter Abe Vigoda taking a long time between pitches.

Heh...  a handful of Jim Bouton's 'greenies' would go a long way, eh?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Herrmann throweth the runner out.

 

How 'bout that?

[howeda7]

So, Gibson to start game 163, Pelf to start the WC game?

[David HK]

HEY!  It's Pub Crawl Day?  With you all in spirit(s)!  Have a Goose Island for me!  

Wait a minute---  what's a Chicago beer doing having a pub in Targette Field?

OK- have one of these for me!

Not to worry. Big Vig has got this.

Goose Island now owned, wouldn't you know it, by Anheuser-Busch InBev.

[wavedog]

I am assuming we are waiting to string all our hits together in one inning to maximize our runs scored.

[ashbury]

So, Gibson to start game 163, Pelf to start the WC game?

Not to worry. Big Pelf's got that one too.

[howeda7]

No worries about next year either. Terry Ryan is furiously negotiating an extension as we speak...

Not to worry. Big Pelf's got this.
