Um, we do? Who has he brought back? And don't say Bartlet or Kubel because I'm not convinced that was his choice.

The Jasons were placed on the roster while he was "running the team." He takes the blame.

They already announced he is on the 25. In Twins World soft tossing lefties are highly regarded! :)

Ha!  Only this team wants to add lead weights to a sinking ship.

Um, how? Wasn't he selected before we picked?

Appel was the consensus #1 pick in that draft. For whatever reason (signing bonus issues IIRC) he fell and they took Correa instead.

My bottle of water, my tv, my tobacco, my air conditioning and a lovely scented candle that smells like pine trees

Okay, I'll give you those, except for the tobacco. If you had said a different substance I would have given you 5 for 5.

 

As for the scented candle, go online, find the website for Thymes, Ltd., and order their Frazier fir scented candle. It's the best. Like having a fresh Christmas tree in the house!

They just announced that since Albers is already here, he's taking Buddy's spot on the 25.

They didn't have the one I wanted, so these will have to do.

Yeah I figured the dipping tobacco wouldn't rate high on anyone's list of favorite things

I second the Thymes Frazier fir candle.  It really is awesome.  I just wish that they weren't so expensive.

 

Their hand soap is equally as awesome and equally as insanely priced.

I'm still confused. It wasn't as if we passed on Correa, did we? If we had passed on him, yeah, then I'd be wondering 'If only' for a long time, but he was never ours to choose.

Well, this sucks. Let's see if NFL preseason football is more interesting...

I thought that Vikings were playing tonight, but nope.

You want a woman to like kissing you on a regular basis, get rid of the tobacco. Nasty gross.

If it's a financial thing and they don't want to pay for another plane ticket, can we take up a collection or is it against the CBA?

He will. Heart-warming story and we all know that Antony loves bringing guys back.

 

Back for 24 hours was heart-warming.  More than that is less so.

Look, lady, can you PLEASE stop harshing my mellow with your constant need to bring up reality?

And now, in contrast to the soft-tossing lefty finesse pitcher Tommy Milone, we bring you...

 

The soft-tossing lefty finesse pitcher Andrew Albers. This is sure to confuse the Astros, who can't be sure what's the difference. Did one of them have a beard??

You are right, but for me it's wishful thinking is all. Lol it's not really about making a mistake,

Oh go burn a pine scented candle.

 

And crap ... I'm not sure I can keep watching this brutality amid my reality.

Full disclosure, I've never kissed someone who dips, but I can't possibly imagine it's worse than kissing a smoker.

I suppose, but You'll never get away with it when he's right there in the middle of a major league park.  There are literally dozens of potential witnesses in the stands.

I would nominate for post of the night but there aren't enough posts to qualify.

I'm just wondering what might have been if Correa had fallen, that's all. Maybe there's a 50% chance in that alternate reality we take him instead of Buxton.

You know, this is starting to remind me of Groundhog Day. 

 

What does it remind you of?

I just want to remind you that the sun will come out tomorrow.

 

Unless it rains.

 

Or the world ends.

I was saying that during the first game.  This game is just confirming the notion.  

 

This is nuts.
