[Hrbowski]

Yay!! (Positivity)

[USAFChief]

Tonkin trying to save Molly a "talking to" over the whole "souvineers for every kid in left field" thing.

[HitInAPinch]

Well, ****...

[Aggies7]

Who would've thought we'd need all 11 runs?

 

Oh yeah, everyone.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Franco might be way more comparable to Sano than I would have liked to think.

[Danchat]

It seems like every reliever has to take their turn blowing a lead. It was finally Tonkin's turn.

Names rhyme, for one thing.

He didn't.

[Aggies7]

No Abad for Howard?

Sano has a higher ceiling.

[Aggies7]

No Abad for Howard?

Well, I'm obviously not a manager for a reason

[USAFChief]

[Aggies7]

Joe breaks his doubles drought.

Ya know who I feel bad for? Ryan Howard. He used to be one of the most steady, surefire players in the game. He's fallen a long ways. It's no fun for him anymore.

Don't feel bad he gets a ten million buyout next year!

[Danchat]

You know it's time to send Park to AAA when you're getting benched so Escobar can hit for you.

[HitInAPinch]

Bert on the ball for that Intentional Walk....

 

Escobar pinch hitting for Park!!

Park to MiLB...

[Aggies7]

Huge hit by escobar

Gotta agree.  AAA is for play time.  Park is like a boat now: 

a black hole in the water you throw money into.

Huge hit by escobar

Escobar is one of the few Twins that I like in a clutch situation.

[LaBombo]

 

Huge hit by escobar

For how many teams is a 12th run an insurance run?

[Aggies7]

What a night for Suzuki. SIX RBIs

[Squirrel]

 

Heh... also, before I go-  look at the price I had to pay to be in that movie with my future ex-wife Scarlett J.  A bunch of us were zombies, chasing her around some sci-fi green screen, and had to be made up arms, legs, and such---  they sent me home looking like this....

Not only was that NSFW, it was NSFGT as well.

Dick just said Rosario is actually drawing some walks.

 

He's had 5 in like 125 PAs.  5.

5 is some.  More than 4, which is a few.  I think 5 qualifies as slipping into "some."  Or maybe I'm just lenient.

Must be the new bat.

 

Stopped using Axe Bat.  Sounded to much like Ass Hat.

[LaBombo]

4 hits for Suzuki.  The extension of the extension is just a given. Now the only question is how far the Twins will go to extend Suzuki's career with purchases on the human replacement parts black market.

[HitInAPinch]

C'mon Buxton.  1 hit.

[LaBombo]

 

 

Not only was that NSFW, it was NSFGT as well.

So are the rest of us, uhh, like in trouble for reading it, or...

[Halsey Hall]

Kintzler walked a mile to pitch the 9th.

[LaBombo]

 

 

C'mon Buxton.  1 hit.

I'm all for him trying to get a hit, as long as he doesn't mess up his pitching arm doing it.
