Off topic....anyone in MN know of any IT openings? For some reason, one of my sons wants to live in MN still.....

No, but my son is heading of to do a summer internship with the NSA...I'm a little concerned about what he might find out about me.

This kid Reed is going to make me forget about Phil Dumatrait.

I'll see your Phil Dumatrait and raise you a Brian Bass.

[TFRazor]

Say what you want about Rodney, he definitely isn't afraid to throw strikes

[Mill1634]

 

See you're not a card carrying member of the Fernando Rodney Experience

Eh. I think he is a fine option as closer. I like the role they have Reed in right now over strictly using him as a corner. I think Rodney can be effective give a clean inning, and that he typically keeps the ball in the park. 

[LaBombo]

 

You don't need anyone to make you forget Phil Dumatrait. Nobody remembers who he is.

 

 

Phil Dumatrait did not like this

I'll see your Phil Dumatrait and raise you a Brian Bass.

Neither add up to one Bobby Korecky!

[Aggies7]

FFS with this team why is it never easy

[USAFChief]

Go ahead run at the plate.

 

yeesh.

[ashbury]

Say what you want about Rodney, he definitely isn't afraid to throw strikes

I will not question Rodney's courage after throwing some cheese on an 0-2 count for a called strike. (Chief might question his wisdom.)

[Mill1634]

UNSUBSCRIBE! I UNSUBSCRIBE! 

[Aggies7]

If we lose it will be exactly what we deserve.

[TFRazor]

Dear god here comes Springer

[Mill1634]

Oh you have got to be ****ting me...

 

 

Why throw that?

[USAFChief]

OH FFS!

[wsnydes]

FFS...

[Aggies7]

You **** bums!!!!

[Puckett34]

That's........pretty much how I saw that going

[Danchat]

Oh, poo. 

[Cap'n Piranha]

Is that even possible?

[Jerr]

     

[ashbury]

Game tied on a DP ball. Sheesh.

[USAFChief]

There was no reason to throw that, Dozier.

[gocgo]

I think this is the experience that they spoke of.

[TFRazor]

Eat the the throw. Eat the throw. EAT THE THROW!!!!!

[bighat]

Why on earth did Dozier throw that ball?

[TwinsCD]

2 strikes...keep nibbling to a terrible batter.  You get what you deserve on that one, Rodney.

 

And if you're the relay man at 2B there, why in the world would you try to throw to Rodney covering first base and it has to be a PERFECT throw.

[Aggies7]

I think this is the experience that they spoke of.

Should work out well for October if our guys poop their pants playing the big boys in April.

[Mike Sixel]

sigh

[USAFChief]

You can chalk this up to Molitor refusing to use his best reliever when the situation called for it.

 

And Mauer's lack of RBI-ness, of course.

 

I'm only half kidding on Mauer.

[Blake]

Well, it wouldn't hurt if Rodney wouldn't walk guys.
