Ever eat a pine tree?

 

I haven't

 

We have a McDonalds and a Taco Bell just down the street.

Now we could use some insurance runs,

My nominee for Post Of The Game.

Well the name alone makes it too easy to take the cheap pun 

We are scavengers. Take advantage of the opportune times. They are sometimes far between.

Except, of course, when an opportunity for Abad joke arises.

[Jerr]

 

Whose posts are frustrating you like that. 

The game....not the posts...the bullpen....the whole year of Twins baseball, so far.....not the posts...

Except, of course, when an opportunity for Abad joke arises.

I'm gonna have to contemplate on this.

[MindFreak]

Wild trying to make things interesting.... yeah i know, take it to wild chat 

[ashbury]

You know it's a long game when you push the Info button on the TV and it said "Vikings Beyond the Gridiron and now it says "UFC Ultimate Knockouts". 

[howeda7]

This and the Sunday blown game in KC are terrible gut punches. Both times, an extreme mismatch in the starting pitching, a 2+ run lead into the 8th and a choke job. 

[MindFreak]

He's Abad bad man out there

[MindFreak]

Now please score some f'n runs 

[Riverbrian]

You follow this team, you gotta wear Kevlar.

[MindFreak]

wow, that was a crappy bunt, but it did the job 

 

[jimmer]

yes, tell us how a bunt would be a good idea.

 

After making sure o tell us how leadoff walks always seem to score.

[Riverbrian]

Zimmerman could have had Escobar at 2nd... I'm not sure what he was thinking after he saw that he could have had Escobar at 2nd and didn't throw it. 

[spinowner]

 

yes, tell us how a bunt would be a good idea.

Because Murphy was batting.

[jimmer]

how does Zimmerman not throw that ball to 2B?

[ashbury]

He's Abad bad man out there

Balks will haunt

Balks will haunt 

Coupled with leadoff walks, deadly.  They always seem to come around to score y'know

[jimmer]
