I'm sure I'll be hit with infraction points sooner or later.

 

If not,   you can have some of my old ones.    I've cut way back on the infracting.    Doctor's advice.

Not from me. I think it is hilarious!

[LaBombo]

 

Casey Fien is my favorite.

 

Missing word between 'favorite' and punctuation.    Please clarify.

[USAFChief]

in play, run(s) please

[70charger]

Well this inning started pretty well. 

 

Buxton running for Sano.

[USAFChief]

Plouffesie enfuego.

[70charger]

Tie game!

 

Mixed feelings with a double play on Arcia. But we are in this thing!

[Craig Arko]

in play, run(s) please

Close enough.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Well, double plays suck but runs are awesome.

Ooh ... that'd be interesting. Did you say old ones? That would mean I had the pleasure of going through and reading "Warning issued by USAFChief for Trolling, Flame-baiting, Thread-jacking, and being a dick in general in such and such a thread" without having to actually suffer the consequences.

 

Or you could just give me your password ...

[USAFChief]

Arcia hit that right on the screws, nothing you can do.

[Bark's Lounge]

If the Twins bullpen can get through this inning without any damage. I believe Rosario is going to do something grandios!

[LaBombo]

 

 

Buxton running for Sano.

 

I know that Sano runs well for a big man,  which is almost exactly the same kind of faint praise as "You don't sweat much for a fat lady".

 

Even so, I'm not sure  "Buxton running for Sano" does justice to the actual speed differential in question here.

 

How about  "Buxton to vaporize infield dirt for Sano"   or maybe  "Buxton to approach orbital escape velocity for Sano"?

I was hoping Arcia would bunt the ball down the 3rd base line. No way they get Buxton on that play, only one out...

I got some Grandios at the Taco Bell drivethru.    Pretty good, but I would suggest going inside for them, planning on sticking around for a while after eating them,   and going with the 6 piece instead of the 10.

[USAFChief]

What's that thing called again, where you get the winning run in the bottom of the last inning?

 

I forget.

You're still remembering the Make A Run For The Border ad campaign, aren't you.

[ashbury]

I forget.

I'm not sure, has that ever happened in a major league game?

[USAFChief]

 

I got some Grandios at the Taco Bell drivethru.    Pretty good, but I would suggest going inside for them, planning on sticking around for a while after eating them,   and going with the 6 piece instead of the 10.  And then only eat numbers 7-10.

ftfy.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Can't wait for Dick's monologue to "end."

I forget.

I think it's commonly referred to as sauntering rudely away in the middle of a dispute.

[USAFChief]

Huh.  The Angels have a centerfielder named Plouffe.  I did not know that.

[jimmer]

Dick said, 'Plouffe spins and fires it and holds him to a single.'

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

A bunt Twins fans can approve of

[HitInAPinch]

just when you need Rosario to do something....

[ashbury]

Good call. Modulo some definiiton of grandios.

[jimmer]

ugh

[LaBombo]

 

You're still remembering the Make A Run For The Border ad campaign, aren't you.

 

Well,   it was a great deal more successful than the short lived   "Make a fast but awkward, crouching Walk for the Border,   then lock the door of the Border behind you,   and plan on staying on that side of the Border for at least 20 minutes, and hope the Border has a fresh role and a spare"   campaign...

[mikeee]

I have showed up in time to comment on the victory.

Eh.
