Maybe is Granite's name was Flint instead, we would be getting a spark instead of a fizzle with a wimpy arm.

Bases loaded, this time with 2 outs.

Psst... Molitor. Ever call a triple steal?

 

Far too adventurous for the stoic old man, especially since what do they have to lose!?

Meh, triple steal call would catch more flack than a bunt...

 

Doesn't mean i don't want to see it someday.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alright, time to get more runners in scoring position!

[Blake]

Houston is living right. Only explanation.

[bighat]

Awful game for Castro.

[LaBombo]

30 minutes or so ago I got into the car with my elementary-aged daughter and turned on the game. The radio broadcast was in a commercial break, but the station display crawl said TWINS - 4     ASTROS - 1.

 

Then Provus came on sounding encouraged that the Twins had mounted a comeback, which made no sense, and then said that they trailed 10 - 4.

 

Me: "Ten to four !?! The crawl said they were up four to one!" 

 

Kid: "No, after you looked outside it showed a zero after the one for the Astros. Our radio isn't big enough to show how bad they're getting beat."

 

Me: "Why didn't you tell me when you saw it?"

 

Kid: "You seemed pretty excited that they were ahead".

Dare I say your kid sounds like a future TD game thread writer?

Hard to really single out one person.

 

I think Houston has gotten inside the heads of the Twins in general.

Or maybe a guy whose idea of 'Mixed martial arts' is a judo exhibition in a go-go club.

So ... Our pitchers have thrown up 5 donuts...

 

So will the guys who pitch for the Winnipeg Goldeyes, when they hit the bars after the game and then Tim Horton's drive thru on the way home.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Now would be a good time to put up some runs. Bring it home with a bang.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

12 pitch K for Belisle.

 

That is sticking with it.

[Aggies7]

So let's recap:

 

Starting pitcher lasts 1 2/3 IP

We need 5 pitchers to finish the game and all but 1 throw over 20 pitches

Buxton leaves with an injury

1-13 with RISP

11 LOB

 

Buy buy buy!

Ithought it was spelled bye...

 

G'night all!

 

Thanks for your company.

Except Yoshi had enough class to not ask for a buyout. Hughes will either stick around gritting shelled for two years or just fade away. But still get paid.

 

Gil Meche walked away from $12 million.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So have we set Houston up with a false sense of confidence yet?

 

Are they ripe for the plucking?
