I'm stepping outside for a moment, agitation level rising far too quickly.

I broke out the rheumatism medicine 5 minutes ago.

[glunn]

Rogers at 22 pitches -- take him out if he does not get this batter.

[USAFChief]

So Molitor lets Gibson face at least 1 too many hitters, then finds a way to get Rogers into a 6-1 game and throw 22 pitches (when he's already way too overworked).

 

Awful.

[h2oface]

 

Do you think it's possible you're exaggerating a tad?

 Nope,,,,, like I said.... numb

[jimbo92107]

Well, I just vouched that Kintzler can be a stopper, not just a closer.

[snepp]

I should have stayed outside.

[USAFChief]

ish.

[snepp]

 

ish.

 

Yes.

[USAFChief]

whew...

 

While we have a minute, what's the difference between people from Dubai and people from Abu Dhabi?

[h2oface]

Wow. what else can go wrong. Upton golfs a pitch way inside and low and hits the pole, Kepler misplays/is fooled and misses the catch, Sano bounces the throw and Mauer fails do make the dig...... Wow. And the tie goes to the runner, except when it is figured out correctly in the replay and the ump already guessed out. Dozier.... seemed to be dreaming. Wake up! Dodged a bullet there. Could use some runs.

You may have a future as a color commentator.

There's no such thing as a tie.

[glunn]

I was planning to leave for dinner almost an hour ago. Now, I feel like we deserve insurance runs.

[glunn]

 

There's no such thing as a tie.

Not if the ball touches the glove and the runner touches the base at the exact same moment?

[h2oface]

 

There's no such thing as a tie.

 

There is no such thing as no such thing, therefore, there is such thing as a tie.

[Pius Jefferson]

Can't help but have an underwhelming feeling even if the Twins win.  

 

Oh and Mauer sucks again. 

[USAFChief]

 

whew...

People from Dubai don't like the Flintstones.

 

People from Abu Dhabi do.

[jimbo92107]

If the Twins don't blow this game, that will actually be quite encouraging. Good teams do manage to hold off late charges by their opponents. 

[USAFChief]

Nope, it's not in the rule book.  There is no such thing as a tie.  Either the ball beat the runner, or the runner beat the ball.  Those are the only two possibilities discussed.

[Don Walcott]

Rosario!

[mikeee]

oh dear.

[Don Walcott]

What a throw. Dfa him?

[h2oface]

It is an unwritten rule, passed down for a hundred plus years. Aren't you found of the unwritten rules?

[jimbo92107]

Kintzler v. Kinsler. This makes me uncomfortable, like a bad spelling bee.

[glunn]

Then I was lied to in little league

[snepp]

winner.

[glunn]

Yes!

 

Dinner will be sweet tonight.

 

[USAFChief]

 

Winnah!

 

 

 

 

[h2oface]

Good thing that wasn't Granite making the throw to second. By the time it bounced in, Iglesias could have been on third.....  . (Now I am exaggerating.... just a little bit, though)

[mikeee]

we'll take it!  whoop!
