Why is it that the day after a Santana start, the TV crew has to put a mic on his head the next day and talk to him?

[USAFChief]

 

Dick said Artic circle. He probably also says asterik.

Aks him.

The Jack Links Sasquatch guy is perfect thru 2 innings.

I told my wife that I wasn't aware that Sasquatch was pitching not more than two minutes ago!

Speaking of road trips...

 

Life mimicks game threads.

 

Just arrived at the end of a leasurely 350 mile day.

 

Nice not to be guiding a ton of metal about...

[Jerr]

I love Twins double plays that the Twins execute!

Now can we start scoring some runs?????

[Blake]

 

Enough that your peers think you surf the net all day.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I caught that. I was busy with my Margarita machine before I head over to the Barcalounger. 

[wavedog]

There goes the perfect game for Sasquatch

From home..................................

 

 

Minneapolis            in Minnesota..... just to be clear lol

 

Charles City Iowa... You can see the World First Tractor.... this isn't the 2nd... it's the first. 

 

Waverly, Iowa... You can see a Big Red Cocoa Mug... I don't believe their is any cocoa or coffee in the mug. 

 

Brandon, Iowa... You can see a large frying pan... It weighs half a ton and can hold 44 dozen eggs. 

 

Marion, Iowa... You can see a Corn Sculpture in a Corn Field... Need I say more. 

 

New London Missouri... You can see a Giant Mark Twain.... which is much bigger than a regular sized Mark Twain. 

 

Foristell Missouri... You can see a Giant Muffler Man... I'm not sure what a Muffler Man is... but this one is Giant.

I hope Roy Smalley stays out of the left lane if he doesn't drive 67. Then again, I've driven in Minnesota, and the "passing lane" is more like the "I don't care about anyone else lane," so I guess I wouldn't hold out hope.

I wish that problem was specific to MN, but, it sort of is a national problem these days. 

[S.]

Is Griffin related to Jered Weaver? All these sub 70mph pitches is throwing me off. Apparently its doing the same thing to the Twin's hitters too.

 

Edit: Spoke too soon. I guess slow tossing junk ballers don't phase Buxton.

Well I'm even more modest than you. I'm more modest than everyone.

Even Mussorgsky?

[spinowner]

 

At least he can pronounce player names, unlike Bert. 

Not always. He says Rozario instead of Rosario.

[S.]

That was some seriously half assed base running by Dozier. Embarrassing.

[John Kelsey]

Great hustle there, Dozier. 

[wsnydes]

Maybe if Dozier was hustling down the line instead of watching the ball he would have been safe.

[Whammy]

If Rosario did that Paul would bench his ass.

[wsnydes]

If Rosario did that Paul would bench his ass.

I'm not convinced of that at all considering how much dumb stuff Rosario does.

[kusko_andy]

Wow, Dozier.

 

Team leader? 

 

That was epic loafing.  Looked like Manny Ramirez.

[S.]

 

If Rosario did that Paul would bench his ass.

And if I was Molitor I'd be benching Dozier's ass for that. Can't have one of the leaders of your team playing like that with no consequences.

[spinowner]

 

Even Mussorgsky?

Nobody out modests Mussorgsky.

[h2oface]

Dozier needs a week off to get it together and rest up for the late season home run barrage.

 

[notoriousgod71]

I won't say anything since Stew asked me not to bitch...

[jimmer]

They call THAT a double?

[S.]

Lot of mental mistakes so far this game. Bad throw by Buxton, bad base running by Dozier, bad catch by Rosario. Not good.

[wsnydes]

I'm not convinced of that at all considering how much dumb stuff Rosario does.

Almost as if on queue...

Every aspect of his game has regressed this season in my opinion.

[70charger]

Welp.

[TwinsCD]

You have a free swinger like Gomez 0-2 and you screw around with him instead of just going at him and now look what happens.

[notoriousgod71]

Nice job, Joe.
