A ZERO!!!  We got a ZERO!!  Like, after we scored, and everything!  

 

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000!!!!!

 

Thank you, God!  Thank you, Ricky Nolasco!

 

I just popped a Mag of Cristal at my desk this morning.  

 

You gotta ride that wave when you can.

Bags of frozen peas are good?

 

I don't like chasing them around the plate with my fork.

These days, Weaver looks like someone that would be pitching for us. And unfortunately for him, I don't mean that in a good way. Fortunately for us, it works out just fine.

No No, he has one fatal flaw that the Twins would despise, he's striking some guys out.

Fastest I've ever gone on two wheels: 115 mph. 

Fastest I've ever gone on 4 wheels: 125 mph.

 

I prefer the 125 mph on 4 wheels.

 

115 on a motorcycle is a little hairy. 

 

A motorcycle that you have to shave. 

 

Must be quite the conversation piece when you roll into Sturgis with that.

Oof buxton got away with one

[John Kelsey]

I'd like to see some numbers on the amount of Buxton's at-bats that have started with an 0-2 count. 

 

Has to be over 50%, right?

It doesn't help when you feign a bunt on an 0-1 count Edited June 14, 2016 by Aggies7

I'm wondering what inning my chin hits my chest and I throw my head back up and say "I'm awake" and my wife says...

 

"Sure You Are"

I don't think anything hairy would be in the least out of place in Sturgis...

 

I think I need to wash now, after I typed this...

33%. 29-89

 

Kid finds himself in an 0-2 hole a third of the time.  talk about making life hard for yourself

Hate these west coast games...I will undoubtedly wake up at about 4 am and check the final score. No way I'm finishing this one. Edited June 14, 2016 by Aggies7

I couldn't find any Hairy Motorcycles in a google search but I did find this

To stay more topical, beer. Lots of beer.

This sounded like a quote from one of my favorite movies, Beerfest. The line is delivered by one of the writers/actors of the Broken Lizard group, Erik Stolhanske. He was a high school classmate of mine at Breck. True story.

I think I hit 85 once... Might have reached 86 or 87 but my wife noticed the speedometer and that was the end of that. 

My wife was with me when I did 125. She would have been okay if I'd have gone even faster. Of course, the car was set up to do around 150+ so there's that.

[Aggies7]

Son of a bee sting

[Riverbrian]

Just want to say that there wasn't one rookie involved in that run down. 

 

Our Vets pulled that gem out of that... whatever it was.

115 on a motorcycle in the summer in MN. You have any idea how fast you can collect bugs at that speed? 

 

True story: I was riding along and took a cattle prod to the shoulder. Actually, it turned out I was stung by a wasp. The wasp somehow got inside my leather jacket. I was not happy. /true story.

[Aggies7]

Nice job to limit the damage

I tipped a big Honda Gold Wing at a stop light in Blaine Minnesota. Waiting for the light to change and it just starting tipping over. I was around 16 and I couldn't get it back up. My brother in law just said... "sure take it for a spin if you'd like". 

 

The Drivers behind me... were not happy. 

[Aggies7]

A little slow in here tonight, isn't it Lloyd?

[David HK]

Heh...

 

Shane.  Come back, Shane!  

[Aggies7]

This game has the pace of a snail track meet

[Aggies7]

Hey a break! Must be that Mauer speed

[Don Walcott]

Plouffe not exactly going all out to avoid the runner.

[Aggies7]

Get out here baby! Wooooooooohoooo!

[Riverbrian]

That Plouffe home run makes up for the botched run down.

 

Kinda

A few extra pitches for Ricky for a 3 run blast seems like a fair trade

[Riverbrian]

Yeah... I agree

 

But... Damn... he really botched that Run Down... I'm thinking he may have to hit another one.

He did. I've seen better run downs in the morning paper

[Aggies7]

A good at bat for park. I was ready to shun him. There's still time.
