He shrugs as well as Brando. Oh boy.

Just switching over to the Olympics for a sec...

 

Freestyle Tiny Car is the dangerous one, but a Latvian driver biffed hard in the Alpine event...

Trevor Plouffe will not build trade value by sitting on the bench.

I don't think he'll build trade value trying to bunt for a hit.

We play volleyball?

 

Huh, who knew.

This pitcher looks like Elmer Fudd.

[big dog]

Well, Rosario took 2 balls in this at-bat.  He swung at about 5 of them, but he took two.

Minnesotans know to turn into a spin

I think my favorite thing about it is that well after it's clear that he has no control, he decides that he's better off not controlling it looking over his right shoulder than over his left.

 

And I know there's no gas in it, but doesn't it seem like the little car should burst into flames anyway?

Wrong color

It should be an Olympic sport!

Anyone else think it time for a Boshers-Chargois swap?

Grossman needed a courier to get that throw to home plate

I think it's time to shutdown this experiment

Boshers in....runs score. Every time.

[twinsnorth49]

Grossman needed a courier to get that throw to home plate

Or a left fielder.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

The propper way to execute an epic 9th inning come back is not to get out...

[twinsnorth49]

Yeah, at the top of this inning.

Suzuki leaning hard into that turn on the way to second...

[twinsnorth49]

My MLB TV feed is showing me still footage of Suzuki standing on second. I presume this is a good thing?

[Comrade Bork]

Why not pinch hit vargas for Grossman?

[Platoon]

We play volleyball?

Huh, who knew.

I think you spelled 'eh' wrong?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Grossman...

 

Got hisself out. Oh well.

 

Still hope!

No... That's bad base running... He should be at least leading off.
