Dang.

[USAFChief]

You'll just have to take my word for this...I took a break to eat supper, and as Buxton came up I was thinking to myself..."self, this is an excellent matchup for Buxton, he's going deep here."

 

I would have posted it had I been here.  I swear.

 

So I'm taking credit for calling it.

[Aggies7]

I feel like that's going to loom large, as they say.

[Darius]

Come on, Vargas. That's a killer.

[USAFChief]

Sano hasn't distinguished himself against a pretty ordinary LHer tonight either.  Need more from those two.

Uh, yeah,...me too... yeah, that's the ticket!

[Riverbrian]

 

Pretty big "either / or" situation there!  Inquiring minds want to know! 

 

Yeah... I should have added... or something in between.

I'd like to give credit, but we need confirmation from Mrs Chief first. She knows how you think, better than you do yourself.

[Darius]

Now watch Colorado move him over to third, and get him in. Something the Twins seemingly can never do.

[Riverbrian]

 

Btw ... the headless leg statues have a companion now. It's good ... the Buddha can help guide them. I mean, without heads, they can't see where they are going, so this is good.

There is somebody employed by the city of Chicago. That person's job is to go out and purchase this stuff.

False.

 

I never think.

 

She'll confirm that, though, I'm confident.

[Riverbrian]

 

Someone needs to tell that ball kid down the RF line that it ain't his job to try to catch a popup.  He looked like he wanted to make that play on the Grossman foul ball and Desmond was about to run him over if he could have gotten there.

 

I'll take care of it.

 

I'll be right back. 

[Squirrel]

****

[Aggies7]

Colorado is good. Not sure about us, yet.

[Riverbrian]

 

Wow, Buxton hit a dinger.

 

Another one? 

[Don Walcott]

There is somebody employed by the city of Chicago. That person's job is to go out and purchase this stuff.

And that person finds themself very amusing.

[USAFChief]

Phil just does NOT have a pitch that can get a swing and miss.

 

 

[Riverbrian]

 

I'm so jet lagged, I might have to go to bed early tonight.

 

This broadcast isn't helping me stay awake, either.

 

I just flew in from Little Falls and boy are my arms tired. 

[wsnydes]

I just flew in from Little Falls and boy are my arms tired.

Chief, is that you?

[USAFChief]

 

Chief, is that you?

No that was Henny.

[Riverbrian]

(Thinks about it)

 

(Still thinking about it)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(still thinking about it)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alright sure... Why Not? 

 

 

(Thinks some more) 

 

 

 

Chief gets credit. 

[Mike Sixel]

Pretty clear hughes id's at best an innings eater now. Alas

[Aggies7]

5/8 starts now that Hughes has failed to finish 6 innings.

[wsnydes]

Nice play by Sano.

[Aggies7]

Pretty clear hughes id's at best an innings eater now. Alas

tough to be an innings eater as a starter if you fail to finish 6 IP in more than half of your starts

[TwinsCD]

 

And that person finds themself very amusing.

 

So they'd fit right in with this thread of funny people.

[USAFChief]

Good decision, and good throw.

[Don Walcott]

Hughes is smoke and mirror. Just the one mirror . . . and a little smoke.

[Aggies7]

Nice play at SS

[Aggies7]

Hughes is smoke and mirror. Just the one mirror . . . and a little smoke.

Although the twins ARE 6-1 in games that he started. Somehow
