Steaz peach green tea. The best.

A source of one of my childhood nightmares.  For years I slept trying to make sure my neck was covered by my sheet  (which in retrospect - probably would not have fully protected me).    

 

Me too, but Frankenberry creeped me out more. It was a tie between him and the other Frankenstein knockoff of the era:

#11, Jorge polanco, will debut as a pinch runner at first base on a 1-1 count in the 11th inning of a 1-1 tie.
You heard it here first.

 

"SPOILER ALERT"

I feel like Karma is kicking my ass right now. Ouch.

why is that?

[twinssporto]

 

Market Pantry Raspberry Blackberry Sparkling Water for me.

 

It doesn't taste bad but it also tastes like neither. 

I was having the same thing.  Mixed mine with vodka though.  Tasted better so I had some more.

[Squirrel]

I'm calling it now ... a Buxton walk-off hit

touché ...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Had free refills of mountain dew at a restaurant, with attention of wait staff as a limiting factor.

 

But drinking has never been a vital element to my capacity for strange and irrelevent comments.

[LaBombo]

 

This team is so much more enjoyable when they flash some leather.

This is just to tide you over until they get a little better in the field...

 

[jimmer]

Nettles had two errors in like 20 games at 3B for the Twins.  And this was back when scorers were much tougher than today.

 

Sano makes two errors in pre-game warm-ups :-)

[Riverbrian]

 

If you quit eating that stuff you are likely to have fewer nightmares.

 

Sounds like the basis for another 3 way debate. 

[spinowner]

Polanco please.

I've never heard a better excuse to sit down.

[Squirrel]

Omg .., Molitor just had to do it! Sheeeeite.

[Willihammer]

Suzuki pulled! I wonder who traded for him.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Maybe Suzuki could have gotten forced at second, Molly?

[Willihammer]

Molitor can't help himself can he.

[Danchat]

Another failed bunt. 

[jimmer]

Crasnick reported that the eight teams to which Lucroy could block a trade are the Indians, Tigers, Angels, Twins, A's, Padres, Mariners and Nationals.

Odd list.  At least 2 of those teams have big bucks to spend.

 

Not Twins.....

Make a prediction so you can have a chance at the Dairy Queen coupon.

I thought he said the Red Sox, too.

Impressive.

Bunt wasn't a bad option.  I just don't remember Buxton successfully executing one.

Lot of speculation was that Lucroy would go to the Indians.   Apparently, not so much.
