A little too much inane babble from dick and Bert tonight

 

I suppose writing "as expected" is not really necessary for this one.

I liked him... Then I was at Mad at Him... Then I started to appreciate him... Then I started blaming him. 

Sounds like a love story, in bad Haiku.

And there it is.

Can someone put together Buxtons stats the last 10 games? I want to say he's hitting .307 but it is too time consuming to do via mobile.

The last 7 days (not counting this game) Buck has a .200/.333/.500 (.833) line.

Last 14 days it's .280/.438/.400 (.838).

10 Seconds from Home To Third

 

9 Seconds if you count without Mississippi's

Yup.

[DaveW]

That K-Mart blue light special looks like it's been overheating for a while now.

Right idea, wrong franchise.

[jimmer]

 

Buxton 10 previous games...

 

.241 .389 .345 .734

Going into today, Buxton's last 7 games and last 14 games both have OPS in the .800s

It's the fewer "how many seconds from home directly to the dugout" that I like.

gotta consider he slowed down.  If it had been a close play when he slid, it would have been even faster.

[Vanimal46]

Fargo awaits! Keep it up Twins...

The important thing is he looks 1,000,000,000x better.

They'd do well participating in a game thread.

[Squirrel]

The Guy or Gal who got thrown up on.

 

Sounds like you are experienced in this.

And probably even faster still if he was chased by a Leopard. 

[jimmer]

Do the think they just came up with Thunder and Lightning as the nickname for Sano and Buxton?  Is that what I heard?

But they should make sure to goto the ER if they keep it up for 4 hours or more.

Thanks. I was counting this as the 10th game in my calculation. Glad to see the huge improvement though. Those numbers aren't bad

Those are previous days, I was looking at games.

[Aggies7]

D and B are usually not the silly, nonsensical type in my opinion. Sometimes they go off a bit but it's kept in check for the most part, relative to other tv guys anyway. Just seemed a bit goofy tonight. I apparently enjoy them more than others

[DaveW]

Fargo awaits! Keep it up Twins...

oh yeah?

[ashbury]

Just say it.

 

It's a game thread, it's not like anyone's gonna check.

Good call, Nostradamus.

yes indeed.  my mistake

[Vanimal46]

oh yeah?

You betcha!

[Riverbrian]

Yeah... As a teenager... I threw up on my date on the tilt a whirl. It stuck to the side and came at her in slow motion. 

 

She saw it coming and couldn't get away. It was tragic.

With Buxton you have to go, "1-Nile, 2-Nile, 3-Nile..." or you'll never keep up.

Triple ick for that one.

[Oldgoat_MN]

Santiago!

[snepp]

 

Triple ick for that one.

 

Yeah, but that's still super awesome.

[Squirrel]

Yeah, but that's still super awesome.

Yeah, depending on where you were when it happened.

 

 

 

And what he had for dinner.
