Take Perk out now!

[Otto von Ballpark]

Is May unavailable?

[DrNeau]

NOW!!!!!!

[Craig Arko]

Is May unavailable?

Day to day.

[DrNeau]

 

Is May unavailable?

From what Dick said, no. 

[DrNeau]

Perkins continues to get hit HARD.

[ashbury]

Nice framing by Suzuki for strike-three on Perkins's behalf. He's one of the better catchers in the league for that, isn't he?

[Riverbrian]

 

Book 'em, Trivette.

 

If I remember right.. The Iconic Line was "Kick Him in the Head, Walker"

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Gosh. I fall asleep with a lead, and wake up with a tie...

 

That'll learn me.

 

Still, coulda been worse.

[drock2190]

Well another gut punch to the Twins.

How can you joke at a time like this?

 

Gotta basically go 8-1 if we lose tonight. Not likely. Oh well. Gee whiz. Crap. Something something.

Weird time to hand the game over to Perkins for multiple innings...

[notoriousgod71]

I don't think Perkins can be trusted in a close game for the remainder of the season. He needs to get 100% healthy because right now he is no different than any of our other pitchers.

[Danchat]

No! Perkins!! 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Gosh. I fall asleep with a lead, and wake up with a tie...

Perhaps i coulda phrased that better.

 

Sorry everyone.

Sounds like you had a nightmare. In fact, The Twins are winning 16-3.

I can't for the life of me understand why Perkins was out there for the 8th inning when it was clear he didn't have it tonight when he pitched the 7th.

We know you meant "can't." Oops.

Been Joking for the past 4 years and made it through just fine.

Damn, I step out for 20 minutes to get some Chinese food, and now everything has fallen apart. Good food tho. Fried rice, spicy chicken and orange chicken. Yum.

If you can't laugh in the face of death, what's the point?

[Winston Smith]

Ach du lieber!

Kepler pinch hits for Suzuki in the 9th?!

[Otto von Ballpark]

Weird time to have Perkins basically equal his season high pitch count (he threw 28 tonight, and only topped it with a 29 pitch 4 out save against St Louis back in June).

 

What exactly was Molitor thinking? Not only does it cost us the game, it probably sets Perkins confidence level back a bit.

[Riverbrian]

Did you bang your shin? 

[DrNeau]

This is ridiculous. He had no business being in the game. Perk is getting crushed every inning these days.

[Winston Smith]

 

Did you bang your shin? 

Spilled my beer.

Yet another loss I hang like a necklace of albatrosses on Molly.  Wtf, having a less-than-healthy Perk start another inning--  

 

Every.  Single.  Damn.  Game-  Molly makes some wtf decisions.    

PH, BP, just..... wow.

 

Is it part of some secret plan to toughen the team up for next year?  Handing them ever-increasing levels of adversity to deal with?  

 

Yeh, yeh, yeh, he can't pitch, he can't hit, the players have to do it, yeh, yeh, yeh, I know.   But a mgr's job is to put those players in spots where they can succeed, and he just picks the wrong damn guys way too often.
