I wondered what makes poles pesky, until i realized not all were, just the ome.

Did Jimmy Piersall ever climb Pesky's pole or just the backstop at Fenway?

Berrios doing all he can to avoid being an attractive trade chip

Why is Berríos like this? I don’t get it

He's a machine.  And Machines sometimes need to be re-calibrated.  Also he is not as mature as some think.

Fixed it for you

[RickOShea]

Simmons looks like he's got Parvo. 

[h2oface]

Donaldson has a keen eye, eh? Swinging at a pitch that hits him after it went by his bat. That is a first for me.

The wooing fans need to be slapped

Who are they wooing?

[Danchat]

I think we have to come to the grips with the fact that our rotation isn't that good... and Pineda is our best starter right now.

It's ric Flair Night, in Anaheim.

When a plate umpire can't even get the call right when he is looking right over the inside shoulder and the ball is on the black right in front of him, he needs replaced.

Overheard from Angel Hernanadez, "  Hey, I'm right 60% of the time.  What's the big deal?"

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Wandering off. Bring the game home for me if i don't make it back.

[RickOShea]

Anyone remember when the Twins used to bring relief pitchers in with a convertible at Met stadium?

[Aggies7]

how does one look that bad against Aaron slegers

[RickOShea]

They only used the convertible for a while.  I think Calvin saw the gas mileage, and decided to go with a golf cart.

[Aggies7]

You really have to work hard to leave the bases loaded twice in 5 innings. Sure that won’t haunt 

[AceWrigley]

Bases loaded has to be the lowest chance to score for the Twins this year.

[AceWrigley]

It's gotten so bad, the Twins get the bases loaded and I think, there goes this inning.

[Aggies7]

Berrios has settled down immensely

Yes.  I remembered it very well.  They switched to golf cart.   Guess Calvin was tightwad!

Let's hope he goes all 7. No bullpen please.

Around early 70’s Ballgame tickets was $5.  Hotdogs for 50 cents or something like that.

Nice Bermuda ball

[insagt1]

nice we have 5 runs but all on HR's..which is basically the only way they can score. Would it be too much to expect a traditional base hit with runners on? Simmons with a terrible AB. But you can say that about most all of them once runners get into scoring position.

So, I have always wondered this year about that uber annoying woo woo woo. Started hearing it a Pens hockey game...then suddenly its everywhere. And its incredibly stupid and annoying as hell. So what is it? Who is Ric Flair...I'm assuming there is a connection. But it really needs to go away. I'd almost trade the even more annoying loud music for that. Sheesh

[Aggies7]

Donaldson needs to be the 23 million dollar man here
