Of course, he has changed it by now, to MaxiMillions.

I think that may infringe the trademark of MaxiPads. Both are available with wings.

Maybe that's a strategy to confuse your enemies. Could a hit have even been put out on Prince when his name was that symbol?

 

Prince's enemy: *slides envelope full of money towards Hitman*

Hitman: *counts it*

H: "All right. I just need a name."

PE: "Well, now, that might be a problem."

Hopefully there is someone else in the bullpen who needs work.

With three pieces of bacon you could spell "TC" on top of it.

Dangit, I had a chicken gyro yesterday! I missed my chance

Lol ... Astudillo looked incredibly awkward there ... did he trip or slide or trip as he started his slide?

 

 

 

yes

Yesterday when Astudillo lost his helmet running to second, the Sox announcer said “The Turtle lost his shell.”

[ashbury]

Seven runs on 6 hits and 2 walks. Homers can be pretty efficient when not solo shots.

Lol ... could ... but you obviously don't recall that I'm the non-bacon person in these here parts. I'll have to find another way to be creative with that.

Today they thought he took off his helmet on purpose trying to get in the way of being tagged out.

Tyler Duffey: Power Pitcher. Before Wes Johnson, Duffey's career was languishing in AAA, just good enough to get minor leaguers out, but not good enough to get out the next level of hitters. 

 

Now Tyler Duffey is becoming a fastball-dominant strikeout artist. Two very whiffable pitches in his repertoire. Duffey has always worn his frustration on his face. Now, I'm beginning to see the glimmer of a newfound confidence. He's beginning to realize that just maybe he can be one hell of a pitcher, finally. 

 

Most gratifying. Tyler Duffey, I buy you a digital beer. Very light, and less filling!

Have another one today!

TWINS BASEBALL IS FUN AGAIN!!!!!!!

[IndianaTwin]

KEPLER !!!!

Der Schlagger: 18.33 percent of all HRs by a player born in Germany, moving within two of Glenn Hubbard for second.

[ashbury]

Among today's starting lineup, only Marwin, CJ, Luis and Willians failed to score a run. C'mon guys, just get on base - someone will drive you in!

[IndianaTwin]

I'm actually looking at them for walking and other exercise ... not a runner ... but need a very solid shoe with a solid sole, because of an arthritis condition I have in my right foot.

May be good then. As I said, I found them very comfortable, probably as comfortable as any running shoe I’ve tried.

[stringer bell]

The extra mph seem to be helping Odorizzi and Pérez, too.

 

Maybe this BP will be okay after all. 

 

Ten game lead!

 

I'm having chicken stir-fry.

[stringer bell]

The numbers keep getting better. Three consecutive wins over Chicago, each by seven runs, plus 21 for the weekend. Two more homers to stay at 2.0 per game, and now a record of 36-16, 18-8 at home and 18-8 on the road. Astounding.

Did you catch the line earlier in the game? Something to the gist of...

 

“If you think you can take a break to make a quick phone call, don’t do it when Astudillo is up, because you won’t even get the number dialed before he swings.”

[IndianaTwin]

Today they thought he took off his helmet on purpose trying to get in the way of being tagged out.

And later, watching the replay, “Was he trying to be more aerodynamic? Did he yell ‘squirrel’?”

 

But all in all, the Sox announcers have been VERY complimentary in all three games.

No pork and beans?

Don't look now, but the AL leader in ERA after today will probably be Jake Odorizzi.

 

You jinxed him... he's tied for 3.

 

 

[stringer bell]

I said AL and Verlander allowed three runs in 6 innings.
