Let's go J.R.!!

[LaBombo]

 

A catcher threw someone out? Whoa!

 

Wasn't expecting that to happen until JR goes back to his offseason bouncer job.

Y'know that awesome, mouthwatering smell from a steak on the grill?

 

I wonder if vegans get that same feeling when they mow the grass.

 

I think it might be pretty much the opposite...

BUXTON!!!!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

How was that sacrifice?

[USAFChief]

Bert:  "What set that up was the bunt."

 

me:  yeah, because without the bunt, Buxton's triple only drives in two runs.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Twins up 3-2 with Buxton on 3rd.

 

I like the sound of that...

[Platoon]

You are all fig newtons of the imagination.

I always thought the whole gravity thing would have been far more interesting if Isaac had been sitting under a fig tree!

[twinssporto]

I'm only a tiny bit drunk but I think if we can get a few good arms next year or the year after we will have a great ball club.  

 

I'm starting to get ready for next year.  Am I delusional?

Delusional? Only on the matter of how drunk you are!

Good work using JR.  The nickname fits.  Like you said yesterday...JR doesn't sound like a presidential assassin!  He's starting to hit as well.  It's all in the name.

Hard to say for sure; tiebreaker is whether or not a giant talking beer is agreeing with you.

Are you saying its a little like beer goggles?

Butera single might have cost Gibson the chance at 7 complete with the badminton lob to right.

 

Edited for stuff happens.

Butera single on 0-2 count cost me the chance to get through a game without throwing something at TV while screaming "**#(((-you GIBSON!!!" 

 

Edited for stuff happens.

fixed that for me

[LaBombo]

Twins with a strong comeback bid for sewing up the record tonight. Shame to see the tying run score on a grooved fastball to a guy who earlier swung and missed on a ball outside his zip code.

[jimmer]

So much for Gibson getting his ERA under 5.00, and he got his FIP closer to 5.00.

 

What a pitcher.  Just THIIIIIIIIS close to becoming a really good pitcher.  Glad we didn't trade him last year....

[LaBombo]

Bert points out that Gibson shook off JR slider sign so he could serve up the fastball that got turned around for the game tying hit.

 

So that's something to build around for next year.

Game is tied?

 

Some day, we will figure out how to keep leads...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Dozier batting for KC?

 

Dogs and cats living together?

[LaBombo]

It's just good broadcasting to update the playoff race, but after 6 years of irrelevant Twins baseball in September, it's about as compelling to me as seeing who your ex-girlfriend goes to the prom with.

[Platoon]

This now becomes a battle of the BP. We got this!

[LaBombo]

Mass hysteria? I'm in.

We're winning?

 

Doesn't Molly know what's at stake here?

I hope we don't screw this up, I have my heart set on 105.

We were for a fleeting moment.

 

I think it is tied again.

 

How goes the pre-season hockey?

Yes, he has no banana.

He has no banana today.

 

That's a catchy old tune, no?
