WHY IS EVERYONE YELLING IN HERE?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

YOU BETTER NOT HAVE INJURED BUXTON OR I WILL GO TO KANSAS CITY AND BURN BOTH BUILDINGS DOWN.

(Joke's on him. The other building is Omaha)

 

Buxton's okay?!

 

Say it ain't so?

WHY IS EVERYONE YELLING IN HERE?

National lower case letter drought.

 

I been hoarding for years.

Great night for some baseball!  I hope the Twins put on a hitting clinic.  

I should have said picnic.  Apologies.

Thanks for your generosity.

Is it just me? Or does anyone else get Camptown Races in their head when Lucas Duda comes to bat?

What the hell was Polanco bunting for in that situation?

IT'S TIME TO PICNIC!11

I’ve been to KC a few times recently. There are lots of buildings.

 

And at least six of them are occupied.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Glad to do my part in a time of crisis

[LVTwinsfan]

Bunting 3-1?, got to be a little more aggressive than that

[ashbury]

What the hell was Polanco bunting for in that situation?

Element of surprise, I presume.

 

Unfortunately, he did it on what would have been ball four. And then half-swung at ball five.

[snotboogie]

Ok Gibby.  I just thought of a new game just for you.  It's called, "Let's See How Long You Can Keep Our Bullpen Pitchers in the Bullpen."

[ashbury]

When Gibson's hitting his spots, nobody's talking about nibbling no more.

Ah, you're including port-a-potties.

 

But alas... i shouldn't carried away. I know KC is a bustling metropolis where everything is up to date.

They've gone about as fer as they can go.

[Nine of twelve]

Gibson with 80 pitches thru 7 innings. Nice! This is what pitch-to-contact looks like when it's done properly.

[Don Walcott]

Cuz they had to go . . . bad.

Is this Terry Ryan in disguise?

[Don Walcott]

He’s also had a lot of swings and misses.

Leastwise while Gibson is on.

World-famous, in fact... especially the North Metro Mall.

 

 

Meet me there for the zombie apocalypse. Even they wouldn't go into that place. I'll bring extra Twinkies for everyone.

Up to date? Pffffft.  Zombie Apocalypse is so 2012

[LaBombo]

When Sano hits the brakes on a wide turn at second, is there anyone else who could swear they hear the screech of locked up locomotive wheels trying to stop a train?

[LVTwinsfan]

I swear Bremer is a Royals fan

[Danchat]

...and Schoop grounds into the exact same double play as he did the last time up. Ugh!

I'm about three and a half miles from Target Field.  I felt it.

Solid movie reference. Can't wait for the sequel this year
