Mauer not making the move. Big time faith. 

[nicksaviking]

Because he's Pelfrey.

Is there a less sarcastic reason?

 

Tell me it wasn't due to over confidence in the pen.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Only Two Likes? 

 

OK... How Bout:

 

According to the dictionary... It's what they say in Germany when you bang your shin on a coffee table. 

I'm taking my like back.

 

Oh, and by the way, tie game. ****. Can I say ****?

[DrNeau]

Mauer thought about it too long. This is hurting this team. 

[DrNeau]

Perk, you are killing us right now. 

[David HK]

 

Because he's Pelfrey.

Because he's Pelfrey.  And because the 6th is usually a Snapper-Wheels-Come-Off inning.

[ashbury]

I e been preoccupied, why did Pelfrey only go five?

Straight line of the night. Punch Line Contest? (Couple of entries already, we should be able to do better though.)

[DrNeau]

Perkins, oh my lord. That was huge.

He got smacked around (in Sabermetric terminology we can all understand).

[Otto von Ballpark]

It was a great book, all about a kid who fouled balls off forever and always walked, always walked, always walked ... until the last plate appearance of the year, when the game was on the line, he had to man up and ... and ... and ... got a hit!

Uh, spoiler alert!

No, that's the honest to God truth. He labored incredibly in the fifth inning and was very nearly (some could argue should have been) pulled in the fifth.

Paul Molitor took Milone out with a 3 run lead in the 2nd despite no rockets and only one walk.  It seems like he plays hunches.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Now we have a ballgame. But we didn't want a ballgame. We wanted a laugher. We wanted a win made of one hit, no less.

Just a whole slew of tired-looking arms out there.  Or do I mean slough....  seems more apropos.

[notoriousgod71]

Meanwhile the Twins have one hit!

It's gonna be tough to win with only one hit now

[nicksaviking]

I think I would have left him in until his arm popped off instead of going to Boyer and Fien in the sixth.

 

And that's coming from a guy who has had no faith in Pelfrey all year.

Why would they be tired? This 8 man bullpen only pitches every single game.

[Craig Arko]

5-0 Texas.

[Riverbrian]

 

5-0 Texas.

 

Great Show... Used to watch it all the time.

I think you're bluffing. What was it about?

[Riverbrian]

 

I think you're bluffing. What was it about?

 

It was a Police Drama featuring Dyslexic Texans. 

[Craig Arko]

Book 'em, Trivette.

[drock2190]

Perkins is a 1 pitch pitcher right now

[notoriousgod71]

Well, it would make sense that Perkins be the loser in this game.

[ashbury]

I think you're bluffing. What was it about?

It was about an hour, every week. Except when it was pre-empted by The Wizard Of Oz.

[DrNeau]

Take him out! He is destroying this team!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Awesome... According to the dictionary...It's what a German says when they bang their shin on a coffee table.

What does he say when he hits his other shin on the beer table?

[DrNeau]

Take him out!
