[Blake]

Great play by Chisenhall, darn it.

[Jham]

Really great write up. It's amazing that that game 40 years ago was also for first place. Probably nor breaking any records today, but I'd settle for a nice win in exchange for not fading to fourth by season's end.

[USAFChief]

Another great pitch by Santana.

 

Guy knows what he's doing out there.

[USAFChief]

nine outs from the bullpen seems like a lot.

 

But fantastic outing from Santana.

[glunn]

I have to go to a Move On picnic, but will follow the score by asking the google woman who lives in my new smart phone.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Rosario a little hot-doggy on that easy fly ball. Not the time or place for that. (is there ever?)

I could do with a little more chalant from Rosario on every fly ball.

[PDX Twin]

Yes, that would make me gruntled, too.

There you go

Atta go, Bubba.

Would you describe that last Rosario out as chalant?

Boshers with the 1-2-3 inning.

 

As expected.

[USAFChief]

 

Would you describe that last Rosario out as chalant?

No.

 

Non.

[Circus Boy]

Six outs away from saying "the first-place Minnesota Twins."

Amazing. That sarcasm came right on through. Must be something in the way you type.

[USAFChief]

So I had my annual physical this week, followed by the inevitable Q and A with the doctor.  

 

"How would you describe your health, Chief?"

 

"Well, not too bad.  I'm older, but I still get around."

 

"Your heart?"

 

"Still tickin'.  Heartrate is pretty good, 'cept when Mauer takes too many pitches."

 

"Ha.  And your sex life?  How would you describe that?"

 

"Infrequently."

 

long pause

 

"Is that one word or two?"

[USAFChief]

 

Six outs away from saying "the first-place Minnesota Twins."

Pretty tempted to hide this update, CB.

What a difference a week makes - maybe the teams want to trade home ball parks.   

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

On a Sunday, he tells that joke

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

It's the Pickler + Falvey Analytics time of the game -- which relief pitcher do we bring in to face the heart of their order?

[USAFChief]

 

On a Sunday, he tells that joke

I'll be here all week.  Try the chicken.  

[Blake]

Listening to Dick talk about the 87 team and how there was trouble with the pitching, yet, he ignores, or forgets, that a big difference maker for 87 Twins pitching was Juan Berenguer.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

zero fastballs, two outs

[USAFChief]

Why does Vanover hate the Twins?

[USAFChief]

BOSHERS!!1!

[Blake]

KEPLER!
BUXTON!

ROSARIO!
 

[howeda7]

Do you just let Boshers have the 9th. Dudes on and it ensures Kintzlers' available for tomorrow. 

[howeda7]

 

Why does Vanover hate the Twins?

Tom Kelly once spoke to him in a sharp tone in 1992. 

[USAFChief]

Heisenberg. 

[GCTF]

 

BOSHERS!!1!

So you're saying the long bullpen nightmare is over?
