I'm waiting for two more puns...

Chief tried ten different puns the other day, in the hope that at least one of them would land. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

[Vanimal46]

Double post. Whoops. 

[CRF]

Bremer can't even tell the difference between a routine short fly ball and a bomb anymore. He needs lasik or at least a stronger prescription on his eyeglasses.

 Richard sure gets Excited , wishful thinking or Blind ??

[Mill1634]

A bremerism on a ball 45 feet short of the wall come on man

Do not rule out the beneficial effects of Xanax.

[CRF]

Oops...meant to say Lasik. I think Lasix is a diuretic! I guess whichever one works. 

[Vanimal46]

111 MPH exit velocity right at the LF. Ugh.

Why not? They don't know the gravity of the situation?

[Vanimal46]

Is Buxton out of commission today? Seems like that would have been a critical time to PH Celestino for him. 

[Mill1634]

Celestino seems to hit so many choppers that he somehow never beats out. Appears to be much faster than he really is. Also, with Buxton not PH in that situation, you have to assume he's unavailable today

The field is visually on downward plane.

 

He has to look up to see where a fly ball is going, so it is easy to lose track.

We need more doubles...

And more posts isn't a bad thing either.

Not too shabby.

We would also have accepted the bullpen received a Minaya call.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh right.

 

Drier time.

 

Too easy to get caught up in the game...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Are we allowed to come back now the copyright message has been delivered?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh well.

Check swing dribblers are rarely good news.

[Vanimal46]

Need some 9th inning heroics once again…

[Twins_Fan_For_Life]

You don't suppose the Orioles will send their closer back out there again today?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We been getting to their closer last few times, right?

 

Do they keep sending him out there? Or do they try someone new?

[CRF]

Ok..time to kick the comeback/walk off into gear.

Someone said that they never use him three days in a row.

[stringer bell]

Well, last chance. 

[Aggies7]

this so easily could have been a sweep. Not sure what it’s going to take to get this offense going CONSISTENTLY and not put up 8+ runs one game and then score 4 runs the next three. Simply far too much offensive talent to be this inconsistent 

[CRF]

Oh well...the third time wasn't the charm. Off to Chicago and Texas. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Well, that was anticlimatic.

 

Glad we didn't get our hopes up.

[Aggies7]

Twins have now scored 3 runs or fewer in 6 of their last 12 games

We didn't dump Tyler Wells ... it's really an important distinction. I was actually more disappointed to lose him than Baddoo.

OK. Another guy we allowed a team to take away from us.

Either way, he of course pitched like an all-star today. Dang it.
