That was atrocious!!!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Shoulda double stole Wilson and Mauer, element of surprise

[mrmpls]

Same old REED

With Wilson stealing home, would the play be at the plate or does he get back picked at 3rd because he doesn't make it halfway home before the catcher gets the pitch?

[S.]

Oof. Gotta barehand that. I think thats too close for them to overturn unless they have a different angle.

 

Edit: spoke too soon.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Something came back up.

 

I can see the score again.

 

Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise.

[S.]

Reed owes Dozier dinner for the next week for that play.

[Nine of twelve]

The defense will be called back on the field.

I'll take credit for the anti-jinx, thank you.

This was probably asked by a dozen people already....but why in the name of Peter Griffin is Molitor using the overworked Addison Reed when down by 3 runs in the 7th inning?

 

With this offense, the lead may as well be 20.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

My, that sounded good!

Because he has no idea what he is doing with a bullpen?

I have put the chicken salad sandwiches in the freezer for tomorrow afternoon. Didn't want them to sit out too long tonight.

Now, I'm not a chef, but I'd think you'd be better served with a fridge than a freezer if you're intending to eat them tomorrow. Or you could just eat them tonight because no one ever specified that the winner had to be us in order to get in on that chicken dinner.

I thought that initially, but then I slowed it down and it looked like he was pushing a handful of dirt back to the base and the hand touched later than it first appeared.

[David HK]

 

It's a lineup saved for the hometown crowd. Nothing but the best.

Heh.... maybe if the hometown is Masochistville...

[David HK]

Dick:  "Two down, and now Taylor Motter..."

 

Not exactly confidence-inspiring words.

 

 

[wavedog]

What’s the Motter - that’s the Motter.

[S.]

 

Heh.... maybe if the hometown is Masochistville...

Well, we are Minnesota sports fans

I put them in the freezer...in case we get swept? and don't serve chicken until next week?

 

 

*ducks, runs*

Winner winner, rancid dinner.

I have watched a lot of bad Twins teams over the years, but I honestly think this might be the worst lineup they've ever thrown out there. 

 

Robbie Grossman 4th.

Ehire Adrianza 5th.

Taylor Motter 6th.

 

I mean...I doubt there are any AAA teams sending out a less impressive 4-5-6. 

 

 

[USAFChief]

Morrison makes that play.

 

//ducks

[wavedog]

Good pick up by Wilson

[David HK]

Heh....  Bobby "The Cat" Wilson

 

At least there's some entertainment value here.

With Sano down there, our high A team might have a better 4-5-6.

Good pick up by Wilson

Maybe he should kneel when he runs the bases. He looks way faster on his knees than he does on his feet.

Time to get a drink

Waaaaaaay ahead of you.
