Article: Game Thread: Twins @ Braves, 8/16 @ 6:10pm CT

[Willihammer]

I wonder what the attendance in Atlanta is tonight?  Looks bleak.

Kinda rude way to talk about Dozier's immediate and extended family.

[LaBombo]

 

Us dang gum Amerikans no not much about histories. Me apoligeesz for the rest of us. No direspek meantt.

Three S's and a stick in diss-respek, Brow.

[operation mindcrime]

Lets get another insurance run!

[Danchat]

I have to say, putting Santana in LF might have saved their butts that inning.

Nah, I ketch ya. Thanxs for the cerrectian.

[D. Hocking]

 

Too many jokes pouring into my head. I'll merely say I'm going to pass.

 

This line of posts might actually send me to check out the volley ball thread for awhile...

[LaBombo]

Yikes, what a home half of the 8th. A pitch like that hanger that got launched at the right field fair pole was how Bootsie got killed. All they found was twenty dollars and a pair of Adidas.

 

 

 

[Platoon]

What is more improbable than a hog flying?

 

Two walks in one game by Rosario.

A swinging third strike by Grossman?

[USAFChief]

So I'm in this bar the other night, just chillin' at the end of the bar, minding my own business, when this man storms in, waiving a pistol around wildly, shouting that he's going to "Shoot the SOB who's been sleeping with my WIFE!!"

 

Well, as you can imagine, men were diving under tables, running for the bathroom, etc etc.  A real free for all.

 

As I am somewhat want to do, I though I might try to difuse the situation with a little humor, so I calmly sat there, waited out the initial frenzy, and then when it got a little more quite, I looked at him, and told the poor fellow, "Dude, you've only got one clip."

Not a bad seat in the house!

[Vanimal46]

Polanco dominated that at bat.

[Platoon]

The best writing rules I've seen:

Strunk & White: Omit needless words.

Elmore Leonard: Leave out the stuff nobody wants to read.

Elmore! One of the greats!

[operation mindcrime]

Three run home run? Wtf!

[Squirrel]

Go ahead. I guarantee you'll be back in a hurry.

I love Strunk and White. I much later discovered White's brilliance as an essayist. He is one of my favorite writers.

Insurance field goal preferable, please.

[Vanimal46]

He's safe. No challenge? Really?

[Squirrel]

Even Joe is confused

Lol ... I know what you did wrong there ...

[ashbury]

Plouffe!

[Squirrel]

Wow, even the Braves announcers agree Polanco was safe and that it should be 5-2 now. Honestly, why was there no challenge?

[LaBombo]

Front office gets a rebate on unused challenges at the end of the season.

[ScrapTheNickname]

I've never written this before, but after seeing the replay that clearly shows that Polanco was safe at home .... fire Molitor.

 

I can't believe I wrote it. There it is.

[CampQ]

Yeah it makes no sense to forgo the challenge

[Vanimal46]

Wow, even the Braves announcers agree Polanco was safe and that it should be 5-2 now. Honestly, why was there no challenge?

Mind boggling. It was cut and dry on the replay he was safe.

[Squirrel]

I want Keppie to hit a long ball here for that.

[Squirrel]

Okay, guess not.

[LaBombo]

Is Molitor moonlighting in the dugout as a tech support from home worker for Microsoft or something? There are times where he just seems checked out.

[amjgt]

Lol ... I know what you did wrong there ...

It should have been the correct alignment. Not sure why it wasn't. I tried to rotate it 90deg, it still looked funky, so I rotated it back, and it looked fine.

 

Strange
