Almost forgot - good job by Duffey. He was firing his finger missiles!

[Tovar12]

 

no.  just, just,     no

Haven't you noticed, there's an egg war going on out there?!  Eating lots of eggs these days.

You're giving me goosebumps all over again!

Winner, winner, egg salad sandwich! On toast with a leaf of lettuce.  (might as well live large)

Egg salad.......does not compute.

[D. Hocking]

If only we could throw out the worst month of the season, ok if only we could throw out the two worst months of the season..  two and a half months of the season.  We would be in contention.\

 

It is nice to see them playing better.  With a bad a start as they had, it would not have been unforeseeable for the club house to go toxic and continue to play in the gutter the rest of the season.

they are shooting for a loss record that DOESN'T start with 9.  

 

And it could happen.  They could get to 73 or more wins.

The twins have finally clawed their way out of the al cellar. They've also leapfrogged cincy and Arizona percentage points wise.

 

Small steps.

this team has gotten to the point where I expect us to win close games.  If we're down by a couple runs I expect us to come back, and I'm not waiting for them to find a way to lose the game.

 

This is fun baseball right now.  

 

And MAN, Polanco and Kepler need to be permanent fixtures in the lineup.

[LaBombo]

 

Define "well".

Undemoted and unbenched? Fair to mostly better than Dantana?

 

His arm looked adequate on the radio. Maybe some thicker socks would make him a bit taller and give him the downward plane those long throws need in order to beat the runner.

Well, by that definition, a resounding yes then.

So the reflexive expectation management brought on by this season hasn't been totally for naught...

It would seem not, apparently their transactive knowledge as well.

Egg salad.......does not compute.

It's like stock options for future chicken dinners...

 

Something like that.

 

Anyhow, sorry i missed out on a good game and corresponding thread.

[SwainZag]

I know all the talk lately has been about the offense, especially Das Wunderkid, Mauer, Polanco and Dozier but....how about that bullpen?

 

 

[cmoss84]

Just for the record, I mentioned a week ago Polanco reminded me of Cano-lite. Dick mentioned the same tonight. Just wanted to say I beat him to it. He's a genius, so I must be really smart.

[Mike Sixel]

 

Listening to the Olympic announcers gives me a greater appreciation for Dick and Bert...

 

Awful. Just. Awful.

 

are you Bork form the FG chats?

[Comrade Bork]

Not I. Though it's good to hear there are more Borks out there.

 

Awful. Just. Awful.
