DP is tough with 2 outs already apparently, so scratch that idea.

To be fair, my attention is sort of wandering too.

Hi Gang!

 

What did I miss?

 

Just getting back on a break now, from the first official day at "work."

 

Moider dem Sox!

 

Man, I'm sure glad for that rain, though, that got that young phenom out of the game...  But JOB, what a hoss, coming back out after the delay!

[snepp]

 

To be fair, my attention is sort of wandering too.

 

Apparently I'm incapable of working, "watching" on gameday, posting on TD, and drinking at the same time.

 

 

 

Guess I'll have to stop working. 

[Aggies7]

So those good vibes sano had built up since his return are dangerously close to being a distant memory

[David HK]

Ahhh, Miggy....

 

That whole "pitch-recognition" thing fading already?

[David HK]

Concur.

 

Priorities firmly in order.

[twinsbaby]

Sano needs to find a path to contact the ball.

[Brock Beauchamp]

heh...true dat. I'm just too stupid to know how to post a screenshot from FSN.

 

They had the box up as the pitch was delivered live. If you believe in the box, it was a strike.

Fair enough. I saw it twice and it looked like it was quite noticeably above Mauer’s belt.

[David HK]

I'd sure like to see Kep finish off September with some good ABs.

 

He's got to be hearing Kiriloff footsteps getting closer.

 

At least, he'd better...

Don't they have radio stations out there in Sout' Dahkohtah?

(Yes, i know the sentiment has already been expressed...)

 

You have chosen wisely.

[snepp]

Already tried the Fort Myers-to-Rochester path, that didn't work.

[snepp]

 

Don't they have radio stations out there in Sout' Dahkohtah? 

 

That would interfere with my Metallica.

 

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And thus another game thread comes to a screeching halt. My work here is done. Good night.

Good night!

 

Does that mean we can make Chief-like jokes again?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That would interfere with my Metallica.

 

 

One ear is for the game broadcast, one for the music.

 

Problem solved.

Is Dazzle-man on the radio tonight? If so, hard pass.

[USAFChief]

Yes, but also Provus. They average out to...average.

[Winston Smith]

The belt isn't the top of the strike zone according to the rule book.

[snepp]

I like Provus a lot.

[USAFChief]

 

I like Provus a lot.

ditto.

[David HK]

Silver lining- 

 

Sox are burning through pitchers in this bullpen game. Bodes well for the rest of the series.

[USAFChief]

Neither team is even paying any attention to this game any more.

[David HK]

Drat- nobody being Rispy that inning.

 

I'm tellin' ya, this game ain't ending with a 2-1 score.

[Don Walcott]

Neither team is even paying any attention to this game any more.

What game?

[snepp]

 

What game?

 

Lynx are down 3 to the Sparks at halftime.

[Don Walcott]

Just turned the game on to Moya striking out two in a row. He’s my new favorite left-handed reliever after Taylor Rogers.

[Don Walcott]

Oops. My bad.

[snepp]

 

Oops. My bad.

 

That's it, you're out of here!

[Don Walcott]

That's it, you're out of here!

Have fun posting to yourself then, Snepp!
