It’s not that Pineda could have gone another inning. It’s the 5 innings or less every day that wear out the bullpen

[Nine of twelve]

 

pffft...that did not go OVER Waveland. 1st bounce, maybe.

Well, it was over Waveland for part of its trajectory.

If by ridiculous, you mean iconic and beautiful, then yeah.

It’s time to get rid of it

[Nine of twelve]

 

That ivy is ridiculous

Iconic and beautiful? To some people, yes. It's also a dump. And, as Morneau pointed out, the ivy covers a brick wall. Not a good place to play outfield.

Fenway Park is a dump too, and I’d be willing to bet the concourse at both stadiums resembles a strong smell of piss

Recently, feeling nostalgic, I asked Mrs Chief if I was the only one she'd ever been with.

 

She looked at me sweetly, and said "Well dear, it's been a long time, but yes. Before you, I never settled for less than a six."

[LVTwinsfan]

Bases loaded no outs, how many runs score?

[Aggies7]

Now this is an inning

[MNT1996]

That home plate is looking a little too clean, Donaldson

[mrtwinsfan]

Doghouse Donaldson, start barking josh!!!

Took a trip to Fenway a few years ago, saw the Twins there. Incredibly wonderful baseball experience. Beautiful, historic, iconic stadium.

 

The traffic sucked though.

Fenway has been renovated (I’ve visited both incarnations).  Didn’t get that sense at Wrigley.  I made pilgrimages to both ballparks.

[USAFChief]

Fielder's choice, E6, no RBI.

[LVTwinsfan]

I reloaded!... Tony Montana

[MNT1996]

Wtf Rocco. Let Jeffers hit for crying out loud.

Yeah, the neighborhood was cool around Wrigley, but the park itself not so much.

 

But the ivy is cool.

[mrtwinsfan]

Thank You Baez!!   we needed it

Wrigley is pretty nice. Fenway, meh. Mostly just old and cramped. The neighborhoods around both are cool though.

Why hit Garver for Jeffers? 

[stringer bell]

 

And the decision to pinch run pays dividends.

 

edit: ninja'd. By an OLLLLDDDDDD man, too. sheesh

I prefer "well seasoned". 

[whosafraidofluigirussolo]

Garver has to prove he's ready in my opinion.

Guess he's going to get a chance - pinch hitting for Jeffers rather than letting the rookie hit.

[USAFChief]

Duane Underwood.

 

"Du-Un" to others

[Nine of twelve]

Rocco pulling the right strings tonight.

[Aggies7]

Awaken

[TwinsCD]

BASE HITS WITH THE BASES LOADED!!!!

[LVTwinsfan]

Why hit Garver for Jeffers?

a hunch?

[USAFChief]

 

Wtf Rocco. Let Jeffers hit for crying out loud.

The baldelli-lama is wise beyond his years.

[MNT1996]

 

Wtf Rocco. Let Jeffers hit for crying out loud.  Great call Rocco. I never doubt you.

Doing some serious managin' in Gardy's honor. 

[USAFChief]

Please, please PLEASE tell me Garver didn't just get doubled up.
