Batting around in the first inning, Berrios to pitch. Is the betting window still open? Dang it.

All right, we know whom to blame....

[Riverbrian]

 

Time to start worrying about Berrios?

 

I honestly don't worry about Berrios... I worry about not having anyone who can step in for Berrios so he can rest that arm, to get that fastball up to the Mid 90's. 

[LVTwinsfan]

So I guess Berrios new strategy is to give up a home run in the first inning every time he starts

[Riverbrian]

Look at the people in the crowd behind home plate.

 

They are Texas people... Know that they think people from other states are beneath them. 

 

Then look at them again.

Yesterday at work there were a few millenials who couldn't remember the name of the actor who portrayed James Tiberius Kirk. I guess I'm just getting old.

If you know the answer to that, you aren't getting old, you are old.

[ashbury]

Berrios is on his way now to 27 consecutive outs.

[Squirrel]

 

So... you're like Q then?

I think he was saying that I'm the one like Q ...

[Riverbrian]

Random Thought:

 

How bad are the Tigers if they have a worse record than the Orioles? 

[MNT1996]

I think the Twins like this Jurado guy

[Nine of twelve]

 

If you know the answer to that, you aren't getting old, you are old.

The same is true for everyone else within 7 years of my age.

[Riverbrian]

 

I think he was saying that I'm the one like Q ...

 

"Q" would be a great nickname for you. 

 

I'd spell it "CUE" but mean "Q". 

[Squirrel]

 

You rang, captain?

I met him. Didn't want to be reminded of being Q, and I didn't remind him.

something familiar...

Dear Chris Woodward,

 

Don't pull him. Save your bullpen. 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Riverbrian. 

[DocBauer]

BTW It’s Mick Jagger

Keith Richards is self-described.

 

(Better late than never)

[Nine of twelve]

We don't have to stop at eight runs here. Keep it going!

[Squirrel]

 

So this looks like it’s going to be a real nail-biter.

Is this gleeful sarcasm?

[Riverbrian]

If Arraez gets a hit here.

 

I'm building a statue for him and placing it on my front lawn. 

[LVTwinsfan]

I think the Twins like this Jurado guy

yeah, they’ll probably trade for him

[Riverbrian]

 

If Arraez gets a hit here.

 

I'm building a statue for him and placing it on my front lawn. 

 

Thank God

 

I don't know how to build statues. Wouldn't know where to begin. 

[Squirrel]

 

The same is true for everyone else within 7 years of my age.

Depends ... there is a line to divide old and young.

 

I put that line at ... 63 ... if you are 63 or older, you're old. If you are younger than 63, you're not. Yet.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Thank God

Snowman?

The definition of middle age is my age plus 10.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I met him. Didn't want to be reminded of being Q, and I didn't remind him.

interesting...

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Thank God

 

I don't know how to build statues. Wouldn't know where to begin.

 

Begin.. on your front lawn.

[Squirrel]

 

interesting...

On the other hand, I met Patrick Stewart, too ... he loved the references. 

[DocBauer]

I honestly don't worry about Berrios... I worry about not having anyone who can step in for Berrios so he can rest that arm, to get that fastball up to the Mid 90's.

 

Gotta be a game at the end of August or early September when we wrap this up to rest him a game right?

[IndianaTwin]

Thank God

Probably at the bottom.
