Anyone here interested in the inner workings of Mac computers? Unfortunately, since I'm trying to get some Mac's to behave, I'm having trouble thinking beyond ssh, scp and Linux. How any of that ties into baseball is anyone's guess. And it certainly bodes ill for a baseball thread.

 

Baseball threads should be newly mowed grass, hot dogs, beverages, alcoholic or otherwise, with the occasional wisecrack thrown in.

 

Maybe a musical interlude will liven things up:

Another televised game ... at least for me it is, with the MLB package; and on the radio. I wonder if they will do it like yesterday's game ... one Twins announcer, one Cards announcer ... because I really like when they do that.

Who's calling the game for the Twins? Bremer?

You know, you're more than welcome to put up your own game thread, right? Shouldn't be entirely up to Chitown and myself.

Gotta save my A material for the regular season! Whine Line Game Thread Edition is hopefully going to start out on fire! Literally!

You have "A" material? Where have you been hiding it?

I think it's starting the year in AAA getting every day reps until my veteran C material becomes ineffective.

I just tuned in ... definitely Bremer. I think it's the same two as yesterday ... and don't remember who that was for the Cards.

As a Twins fan, aren't you supposed to have some aging over-the-hill veteran material?

[Squirrel]

Scoreless after 1.

 

Top half: ground out, ground out, 2 walks, pop up out.

 

Bottom half: walk, flyout (to center), strikeout, flyout (to LF).

 

This is your Circus Boy update.

[Squirrel]

Interesting ... game day is ahead of the broadcast.

/thread

 

probably, maybe, depends really...

[Squirrel]

And JR Murphy gives us the first hit of the game with 2 outs.

[Squirrel]

And a soft flare by Adrianza has 2 on with 2 outs. (Cards announcer mentioned Rosenthal is working on a cutter, or something. I guess pitchers do work on things during ST games. Huh.)

[Vanimal46]

Wait, wasn't Rosenthal their closer before?

[Squirrel]

End of 2, and still no score. Gibby put the cards down in order in the bottom of the 2nd.

Wait, wasn't Rosenthal their closer before?

Could be? He only pitched 2 innings ... Cards have a new pitcher in for the 3rd.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What i miss?

 

Alas, i know little about macs. Even the big ones.

[Vanimal46]

What i miss?

 

 

The pie on your neighbor's windowsill two days ago. It was delicious!

[Squirrel]

'Santana showing a lot of range out there in left field this afternoon.'

 

Direct quote from Bremer.

Didn't miss much.

 

We came across a whole Gopher village...

 

Speaking of which, i only got a couple of hours to find a tv for the basket balls, don't i?

Sorry i ain't pulling my weight.

 

Not like i got any A material neither.

They're broadcasting gophers playing basketball? I mean, I've heard of the Puppy Bowl, but this is another level!

My mom gave me her old espresso machine. Turns out chugging three espressos is not equivalent to three cups of regular coffee. Dishes are done, at least.

[Squirrel]

And Gibby gave up his first and only hit ... a 2-out homerun in the bottom of the 4th. So after 4, it's 1-0, Cards.

[Squirrel]

And Gibby is back out for the 5th ...

[Squirrel]

And he has a nice 1,2,3 inning, ending with a nice play by Adrianza.

[Squirrel]

And the Twins are on the board!

 

1-1, top 6th ... 2 on in scoring position, one out ...
