Dick's talking about "team execution"? Like John McKay said . . .

"I think it's a good idea."

[Don Walcott]

Based on this lineup, it's safe to say that Molly doesn't like Gibson.

Molitor's probably embarrassed about his pinch hitting decision last night. Today he'll have better options.

Maybe Sano heard a coach tell him "make da throw", and misunderstood.

 

 

/ Chief's not here so somebody's got to step in and make some truly labored puns... "death row," I'm sayin'

GIBSON!!!  PITCHERS PITCH!   THIS AIN'T SOCCER!

Gibson looking pretty on today - he needs to assume the role of veteran innings eater on this club, assuming Ervin is dealt. I think he is fully capable of doing so.

Low scoring game on a Sunday afternoon.

 

OK, Punch Line Game. Here's the punchline, someone set up the joke to match it:

 

The third guy says: ‘I’m lonely. I wish my friends were back here.’

[Comrade Bork]

Hey hey hey. Looks like a contending team needs a catcher! Zuke for Lindor mid game?? Seems fair. Trololol

[ashbury]

Poor Gomes. Didn't look like a lot of contact, but the medical staff is sure looking at that leg. Or, is it the arm?

 

/ edit - collarbone, they're guessing now?

[Aggies7]

I'm afraid to watch the replays. I simply cannot stomach watching bones break

[Blake]

Watching the replay of Gomes landing on first made me wince.

Three guys, stranded on a desert island, find a magic lantern containing a genie, who grants them each one wish.

 

The first guy wishes he was off the island and back home.

The second guy wishes the same.

Well this has fallen apart quite quickly. Twins can't get one hit with 2 outs, Indians have just gotten 3

[diehardtwinsfan]

 

For the 30-day period starting July 17, so far, he is a perfect 1-1 plus a walk.

 

Seems to me this belongs in the fun with numbers thread... man that thread just died this year with the Twins performance.

My post was a little too "meta" even for that thread. I should start a "Fun with Fun With Numbers" thread.

Rosario gets sent down, Berrios gets sent down, Buxton gets sent down. Sano says. "I'm lonely, I wish my friends were back here"

2/3 so far

 

 

I tried...

Man, you just killed that joke.  Not in a good way...

[notoriousgod71]

Please Dick, shut up about Grossman.

 

Cleveland does not regret letting him go. Naquin has a .964 OPS.

That's the idea!

[Comrade Bork]

Yeaah..... yours was much better.

[notoriousgod71]

Nice play, Santana.

[HitInAPinch]

yeah, it's turning into one of those games....

[stringer bell]

The two-spot is on the Twins defense. Bremer is right about that.

[ashbury]

"Buxton would have had that" in three... two...

[ashbury]

KEPLER!!!!

The radio crew was saying the same thing.

 

Gordon seemed a bit overcome with emotion from the hall of fame induction when he was talking to Danny.

[jud6312]

If looks could kill, Gibson would be on trial for the murder of DanSan ... and Molly's feelings.

[jud6312]

To be fair, about 95% of the capable CFs in baseball would've had that ball.
