We're being done in by Baltimore's M&M boys.

I'm putting the blame on the Woo Birds.

I'll have to remember to use 48-pt instead of 72.

 Oh no. Don't let me hold ya back.

FWIW I double checked on my phone and the post in question looked OK. You using a flip phone or something?

[lecroy24fan]

Oooh we got words between the benches!

[lecroy24fan]

Also how do they not send someone out to check on Rortvedt after getting hit in the head with the bat?

Yeah good point, that’s a freebie

[LVTwinsfan]

Batter should be out on that. There should be a rule about exaggerated follow throughs, if you hit the catcher with the bat you’re out

I know this wasn't directed to me, and I don't mean to brag, but YES! I JUST UPGRADED TO ONE OF THEM FANCY FLIP PHONES!!1!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Castle-on-the-Mount

probably from France or something 

[LVTwinsfan]

Maybe Big Mike should throw somewhere besides right down the middle 

[Aggies7]

Good god is Rocco doing this for charity? Pull him!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Big Mike with a 31 pitch inning, but pitch count still okay to get through six

[MMMordabito]

What a joke of a team!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

While you were doing that quick thing just now, the Twins went down 1-2-3.

im not sure Pineda even made it back to the dugout to sit down after his half inning, it was that quick

Between innings I'm sure Rocco fired off a sternly worded text message to his counterpart, lemmetellya.

[wavedog]

We have a knack of making mediocre pitchers look like aces.  Uggh

No but something i could change my battery on.

 

So not a standard style of phone.

About time i upgraded, especially as i usually go to speaker phone to be understood.

Luckily i am unpopular sp few want to to talk to me.

The Twins have too much talent, will overtake the Indians and will battle for the wildcard...that's what ESPN writers are still saying. I guess they don't have time to watch any of the games.

[ashbury]

"Kirilloff calls Garlickoff."

[Danchat]

Well, there goes the 16 game winning streak over the Orioles...

Easy, now.

perhaps when it’s safe to shake hands, perhaps we will do so

Nobody ever considers the pitching. When they say too much talent they are speaking solely about the offense. Why is it so hard to realize that if your pitching is weak you won’t be able to compete, no matter how good your offense is

Its safe to shake hands

[Aerodeliria]

Ooooh, it would have been better if Garlick calls Kirilloff off.

[LVTwinsfan]

The speedy Astidillo easily gains third base

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Astudillo shall be he who leads them
