Yes! Optimism is the key!

Let's get 3 here, like last night.

[70charger]

 

There are a bunch of them hanging around TD. 

 

It's probably shocking to learn how close you have come to a lawsuit by posting on this site. 

 

Oh, I'm just sitting over here, taking notes. Rubbing my hands together in a vaguely evil way.

[snepp]

 

Ah, I didn't know any pictures of my youth were still in existence.

 

 

You sure were cute back then...

 

 

[Aggies7]

He's losing it, man.

[Halsey Hall]

It's so nice to see the good Gibson!

[Aggies7]

I'm getting uncomfortable.

Molly's flirting with disaster here

[jimbo92107]

This could be trouble. Up and in to Pujols? Absolutely. 

[70charger]

If this is where Gibson starts to nibble and be ineffective then it's time to pull him.

[70charger]

Oh good, he's pitching to Pujols. What could go wrong?

[Riverbrian]

Nice play by the former right fielder at third base. 

[Aggies7]

Did pujols even run? JC man, give an effort

[snepp]

 

Molly's flirting with disaster here

 

With this pitching staff there isn't much else to flirt with.

[jimbo92107]

 

A little hobby of Joe's mom when she's not thwarting Agents or evading jimbo while riding against traffic.

Yup, that's what it's like.

I will gladly admit that I was wrong. Yay me being wrong!

[Bark's Lounge]

Sano is a Monster!!! Take it to the streets big fella!

[Aggies7]

Just go ahead and take third. We aren't concerned.

[Aggies7]

For petes sake, can't finish 6 can ya

[D. Hocking]

Being wrong for the first time is the hardest - the next time you are wrong in a few years or decades will be easier.

Oh no, I got married a while ago. I've been wrong ever since.

[Aggies7]

Why do we struggle so hard with big leads, I don't get it

[Danchat]

Gibson's looking like his 2015-16 form - good through the first 4-5 innings and then he completely falls apart at the end. It's a lot better than his 2017 version of himself, but this seems to be his ceiling.

 

Also, Pujols looked like he had a bit of a limp while he ran to first. Maybe a trip to the DL is in order for him...

[LaBombo]

 

Okay who's for Pujols driving 1 to the warning track in the Ninth inning and being robbed of 600?

 

If you want to be heard by everyone in a stadium, cheer at the moment a future HOF player for the home team fails to reach a milestone. I'm still being hunted in Oakland, more than 25 years after cheering and then heckling Ricky Henderson for failing to tie Lou Brock's SB record when he was thrown out by Junior Ortiz in the opening series of the 1991 regular season.

[jimbo92107]

When Gibson starts getting tired, best to yank him a guy early. They just yanked him a guy late. 

[LaBombo]

7-0, most dangerous lead in baseball.

Dude! You are going to have a heart attach.

[howeda7]

Buxton just shaved half a run off Gibby's ERA. 

[Aggies7]

Dude! You are going to have a heart attach.

What is it going to attach to?

[jimbo92107]

I think I'll drive up to see Santana pitch tomorrow night. I'll be lucky if my average speed is what we just saw from Byron Buxton. 

[70charger]

 

7-0, most dangerous lead in baseball.

 

And here I thought it was a six run lead against the Astros.
