Hickory shafts?

Oh hell...we might be done already. Down 3-0 in the 1st with no Buck or CC playing. We better hope Chi Chi gets out of the inning and whoever comes in next can hold TB from scoring any more runs. Then, we better get the B" team to hit. Might be a tall order.

If Chi Chi's goal was to get out of this organization he is doing a great job at it.

Looks like Rocco punted on this game before it started.

[LVTwinsfan]

I’m not overly concerned about 3 in the first inning. They need to hold it there for a while though

[CRF]

See ya Chi Chi...wouldn't wanna be ya!

Chi Chi Gonzalez

If he does real good today

Does he stick around?

When you see the phrase

"This didn't age very well"

Remember this post

I would think so, we could use a spot starter/ long RP

[Dave Overlund]

At least he didn’t walk anyone!

Yeah well, maybe he needs to think outside the box, and maybe throw a few pitches outside the box to.

Another game where Buck and CC are sitting at the same time. I just absolutely hate this. C'mon Rocco...stagger the days off so they're not out of the line up together. 

It makes absolutely no sense. With Cleveland on a tear and closing the gap they can't afford to lose winnable games right now by not playing their best lineup.

[singlesoverwalks]

Not playing Buxton today is absolutely classic Rocco. Four home runs in two days? Bench him. Of course.

Chi Chi Gonzalez 

Opted out just yesterday 

Questionable choice

He is improving.

Last time, three runs, three innings.

This time, needs just one.

[ashbury]

If it takes more than

Seventeen syllables to

Say something... skip it.

Treasure Island is getting a lot of unintentional free advertising today.

Negative ghost rider. I have 1-4 Chi Chi Rodriguez persimmon wood clubs. My irons are long gone except for my 1 iron which I seldom use.

[CRF]

He's out. 

[LVTwinsfan]

Out

[USAFChief]

Our defense against

The opponants' running game

Isn't to die for

[LVTwinsfan]

Works both ways, I guess,

Chi Chi is Spanish for "meat"

That’s been a stolen base for well over 100years

[rwilfong86]

This may be a fast game today.

Yeah, and it was a missed call for over 100 years

There's Dick calling warning track homers again.

If you don't count the Rays batting part of the game, yes

They must not be using the juiced balls today.

I think he’s been actually struck by lightning a couple of times. I think he’s wrong.
