Umm, that sure didn't look like a swing.

[USAFChief]

What's with all the complaining about Duffey??

 

He's got a 1 hitter going, no?

We're Twins fans.  Success confuses us.

Der Kid isn't speeding things along much. Hanging in great.

Even Dick says, "Man, is this game dragging!"

Yes, he is trying to win the "fancy" way.

Is my game feed lagging yours, or did you just predict Dick's comment?

Suzuki has been out to the mound a lot tonight

Ha! The catcher thought it was three outs! This game be dragon, baby.

It could be worse. We could be sitting in the stadium in the Texas heat watching it.

Games like these remind me how fortunate I am to no longer work in pro ball.

 

Imagine this game, but slower, and the outcome is unimportant to anyone not on the field.

All in good fun until someone gets an eye put out. (Lips pursed and clutching a hand bag)

Dang it, Robbie, too close to take.

I have a feeling that will loom large later in the game.

[GCTF]

I'm sure that won't come back to bite them.

And 6 LOB through 3.

Ugh, I tuned in just in time to see that -- two of our best strike zone guys swing and miss at ball fours with the bases loaded and subsequently strike out.

Reading these posts you'd think the Rangers were up 4-0.

[Dr. Evil]

Four hours from now when this game ends there's gunna be a fight over the monkey-butt cream in the clubhouse.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Reading these posts you'd think the Rangers were up 4-0.

That's what happens when the team ends the first half with a 1-80 record.

[ashbury]

And 6 LOB through 3.

Look for a writeup soon in this august publication:

Lol there is NOTHING and I really mean nothing, to brag about when talking about working in pro sports, especially minor league ball. You haven't seen employers take advantage of employees until you've seen what goes on there. 23 year old college grads working 60 hour weeks for $24k a year. Where do I sign up?!
