And the amazing technicolor game thread intro...

 

Joe M conversation:

 

Morgan: Why are there so many strangers here?

 

Madden: September call ups. Give a lot of folk a cup of coffee and a chance to show their stuff in the big show.

 

Mientkiewicz: Not all of us are even Joes. I shouldn't even be here. I got a minor league team to manage.

 

Morgan: Don't we have something special today?

 

Montana: Yeah, the annual I Spy championships. I have been training since May! Go ahead, try me!

 

McCarthy: Alright. I spy with my little eye... something beginning with S.

 

Montana: Sand.

 

McCarthy: Got it one! Try this... I spy with my little eye something beginning with D

 

Montana: Dirt.

 

Morgan: McCarthy, it's not challanging if you have your head burried in the sand like an ostrich.

 

Mauer: Wait. This doesn't feel right... It's like someone different is writing our words.

 

Madden: Well it is probably an homage or something. Worst case it is probably fair use as parody.

 

Mauer: Fair? Ha! Don't tell me about fair.

 

Morgan: Doh, i almost forgot. I love the fair! Some of my fondest memories are eating things on a stick. Or the all you can drink milk bar!

 

Montana: Wait a minute... This is a dream, isn't it.

 

sampleSizeOfOne: Yeah... i didn't have time to write anything that makes sense. I'm justglad Buxton is with the team this September! (Oh right. Too soon.)

Who else was called up today? Obviously Astudillo is one, I've heard Thorpe, Graterol, and Ian Miller, anyone else?

Smeltzer, Littell, and Stewart for pitchers. LaMonte Wade is also up again.

[stringer bell]

Buxton activated from the IL.

[Don Walcott]

Arraez and Astudillo in the same lineup? Is that even fair? Poor kitties . . . .

[PseudoSABR]

 

Buxton activated from the IL.

But not playing today? I hope he's all the way back.

[beckmt]

Might be available as a pinch runner.

Almost game time...

[IndianaTwin]

Checking in from Section 122. Tarp is back on, though the grounds crew is standing with it. A few sprinkles, so it won’t be much of a delay, but they won’t get started by 1:30 as projected.

[IndianaTwin]

And people wonder why I Miss The Metrodome.

[Bomba2026]

I'm still mad Schoop was pinch hit for last night! And I hope the manager doesn't let another pitcher put us in a ditch again like last night. We should not be losing to DTW...Another throw away game. Get the Squirrel ready...Welcome back Buxton and The Turtle! Go win this game!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

12:31 underway!

 

 

Heckuva anthem, too

[John Kelsey]

Rays up early

Rays up early 

 

Isn't that usually what happens at, you know, sunrise?

[Blake]

Imagine my surprise to come home from church, turn on the game and see Astudillo at first.

[Blake]

I'm also pleased to see Adrianza not in right field.

 

And, hopefully, never again.

[Don Walcott]

I'm also pleased to see Adrianza not in right field.

 

And, hopefully, never again.

I’m hoping to see Kepler a lot more in right field.

Ya i was still pondering that meself,,   

[stringer bell]

According to Baldelli, Buxton will be a pinch runner and late-inning defensive replacement for now. I sure hope he will be hitting sometime soon. 

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Cave!!!!!!!!

[Don Walcott]

Nice job, Jake!!

[mrtwinsfan]

Cave - very nice u could see he was thinking  that-  atta boy

[IndianaTwin]

Imagine my surprise to come home from church, turn on the game and see Astudillo at first.

As a former pastor, I bless these moves.

[Don Walcott]

Let’s go, Tortuga!!

[operation mindcrime]

Way to take one for the team Astudillo!!!!!!

[PDX Twin]

No worries. Just off the shell.
