We ride buffaloes to school, and then we come back on a colony of prairie dogs.

Kidding, that's only West River SD (Mt. Rushmore is the only nice thing over there)

 

The movie Napoleon dynamite is what I imagine the dakotas being like. And yes i know it was filmed in idaho

[DocBauer]

Gibson has ONE win? Honestly didn't realize that. Weird season or not, as well as he's pitched, he has ONE win?

 

Baseball is just weird sometimes.

This no-name pitcher has been throwing meatballs all night. It's criminal that the Twins are just up by 1 run at this time and have only scored 3.

We’re waiting, lying in the weeds

Molly give gibson the 7th, at least start it,

West River = lots of big hills, flat dry prairie, and ranching
East River = lots of farming, flat greener prairie, and more farming (except for Sioux Falls)

Parker seems to have some kind of twitchy thing with his wind up.

[Riverbrian]

 

Buxton was laying off some close pitches there. Nice to see.

Unfortunately, the ump had a pretty liberal strike zone.

Still, good takes.

 

I missed the at-bat but that would be something that I've been waiting to see. 

 

I'm gonna have to keep myself glued. 

[DocBauer]

Lived in SD and Nebraska my whole life. We have electricity, running water, high rise buildings, and even the internet!

[Riverbrian]

 

I'm graduating next Sunday, senioritis is attacking my grammar skills

 

Congrats!!! 

[Riverbrian]

 

I'm a fun guy! But this beachball stuff is a load of crap! Penalize the home team or do something about it.

 

It's California. 

 

The ocean breeze blows them to Anaheim from the beaches. Some of those things have landed in Missouri.

Buxton making some progress ... Would love to see him go K-less tonight

[BoofBonser]

 

Congrats!!! 

Thanks!

They need to install vinyl detectors at the gates.

 

Post of the night so far.

EVERY other state? My god man

Montana barely counts - there is a little part of Yellowstone that's just over the border. I've been there twice, once so I could say I've been to Montana and once so my kids could all say they have been. We went swimming - freezing river meets scalding hot spring. They have the spring marked to keep people from getting burned, but there are parts that are like a hot tub and parts like a tub of ice. The idea is to swim along the line in between (or go back and forth.) It was worth the trip (since we were at Yellowstone already.) 

[Aggies7]

I’m worried that we’ve p*ssed around for too long and will blow this slim lead. And ohtani tomorrow

[Riverbrian]

 

EVERY other state? My god man

 

I've been to all 48. 

 

Although... I'm been thinking about slapping an asterisk on the accomplishment because two states I just drove through and never stopped to step foot on the soil. 

 

New Hampshire and Idaho were just drive through states and I'm not sure if that counts. 

[Aggies7]

Are you counting states that you just traveled into one of its airports? I once was in the Denver airport, but I certainly wouldn’t say I’ve been to colorado

Sounds like some relationships I've been in.

Good game so far. C'mon Twins bullpen!

I think your two feet have to touch down (outside of an airport) to count as officially being in a state

We're gonna score

I live in North Dakota and I can't imagine what the Dakotas are like. 

[Aggies7]

A 4 pitch walk. Enraging, I don’t care how good Pressly has been

[BoofBonser]

Bold strategy to walk the .161 leadoff batter

[DocBauer]

Come on Ryan!

[Aggies7]

THROW A STRIKE
