Yes, the vomit dried prior to reaching us.

That could be the new tag line for pretty much any game finished by Mr. K...

Apparently TwinsDaily becomes XXXDaily after 11:30?

 

Daily after Dark -- only accessible on the Dark Web.  You have to do quite a bit to warrant a warning and there are more limericks than haikus.

That has the ring of a nickname with some staying power.

And everyone comes from a town in the northeast called Nantucket?

Sounded a whole lot better than "Vomit Wheel."

Well, we can call him the former for a good outing and the latter for a bad one. But we're going to have to find something else for outings like tonight's.

how's about upchuck?

"Tightrope" Kintzler?

"Tightrope" Kintzler?

Hmm, I think I have the perfect intro music for Kintzler:

[Shaitan]

 

Yeah, I thought Molitor would bring in Tonkin then after Tonkin gave up a run, Kintzler would be brought in for the save.

It's a little silly, but it's how it's done. 

 

And I'd rather have Kitzler on reserve for that situation than vice versa.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

I'm not sure which is more surprising, the borderline miracle that Kintzler didn't blow the save, or the fact that anyone has made it out of N.K. alive and is willing to talk about it.

In case you're interested ...

Thanks for sharing this. Fascinating.

yup.  He straightens em all out at the end, though.

Also the only pitcher ever to turn down a three-pitch strikeout and give the batter a fourth chance. "Oh, Blue? One more thing pitch..."

[ashbury]

First place in the division in May. Who would have dreamed of that?

Cleveland.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Cleveland.

Evidently they are better at dreaming.

And thank y'all kindly for taking such great care of the thread! Am honored to be compared to a Vonnegut reference. I will try to live up(?) to it henceforth.

 

Can confirm the Ashbury and Chief encounters. Chief's makes the better story, as i was in the midst of a perfectly sane and reasonable road trip just because string basses and airplane flights are difficult to combine. Had it not been for the lack of daylight savings time, i would have arrived after his bedtime.
