Game Thread: Twins vs Marlins, 4/23 - 7:10pm

[LaBombo]

You forgot "proven."

Hello?!? What about "professional"?

[Riverbrian]

Bonehead base running. Miami Bad

[LaBombo]

Why is Pressly still in the game?

I blame Rule V and snow. Gotta see what we have, right now...

[glunn]

Bonehead base running. Miami Bad

 

It appears that both teams are competing to give this one away.

[ashbury]

Clutch pitching by Pressly to get the DP.

[big dog]

Geez, Justin, talk to Hicks about getting some walks...

[Ultima Ratio]

Pressly is quickly working his way back to Boston.

 

 

Looking like Jim Hoey -- a fast "straight ball" and not much else.

[edavis0308]

Nothing kills a winning streak more than a thumping by the Marlins.

[big dog]

Hey, this isn't over! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[Ultima Ratio]

Hey, this isn't over! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

 

No, but I believe that's because it never happened.

[ashbury]

No, but I believe that's because it never happened.

 

Forget it, he's rolling.

Bite your tongue, young man. Doumit just hit a laser to left, according to gamecast. It ain't over til a fat lady pugdog friend of a mod.... Ok, I'm banned for life. I get it. Goodbye, cruel fanboard.

[Ultima Ratio]

Guess I'd PH for Hicks with Plouffe or Hammer, but I'm not an MLB manager.

[ashbury]

In other news... Benson went 0-for-6 in the loss at Syracuse. I intend to post only good news on his adopt-a-prospect page, so I have to say something here.

I loled at that last part.

[glunn]

Once again Escobar is clutch.

[glunn]

Let's turn this around in the 9th:

 

[ashbury]

Sixteen hits for the Flounders tonight, and no one is hogging up the action particularly. Brantly's got 3, five other guys have 2.

[glunn]

Tying run on deck.

[big dog]

OK, I don't care if Pelfrey is a bulldog, a horse, or a platypus, he should sit down for a while.

[mikeee]

no wiffs morney

[Ultima Ratio]

Why is Mourneau falling backwards when swinging -- all those pitchers were outside corner? Really pulling off the ball instead of stepping at the pitcher.

[ashbury]

Well, that was a quiet ending.

[glunn]

[Top Gun]

It's always hard to win a double header.

[glunn]

[Ultima Ratio]

Wow, this is the first time I've watched some of the Twins' post-game broadcast. I'm sure there are some more simple-minded analysts than this bald guy, but none come to mind at the moment.

 

Ok, they just put up his name, Laudner. Wow.

Late to the party, just want to say the ashburyjohn avatar debut was...well, I've seen some things in my life, but that. was. AWESOME!

Awesome imagery find.

 

And hey, some of us have been down this sort of road, like being found in a compromising situation with unidentical, underage squash twins.

Yeah, you miss a little, you miss a lot.
