Game Thread: Twins vs Rangers, 4/26 - 7:10pm

[Ultima Ratio]

We need some offense, ya herd?

[Guest USAFChief]

Hey, guess who just made an unnecessary error? Anyone?

Unfortunately, for anyone not watching the game, there are multiple good candidates to choose from.

[big dog]

Coming up- Parmelee to the rescue. Book it.

[snepp]

Kick save...

 

"...and a beauty!"

[big dog]

Coming up- Parmelee to the rescue. Book it.

 

Yeah, my bad. But if Florimon were playing for the Rangers he might be on first now.

Anibal Sanchez K'd 17 Braves tonight. BigGentleBen must have enjoyed that game...

If Florimon were playing for the Rangers he'd be in Round Rock.

Given my persistent opinion that the Florimonster won't be in organized ball by 2015, I think you're being generous even with that.

[stringer bell]

Kick save by Morneau-zie.

Sounds like he could have been used in St. Paul.

[Guest USAFChief]

Good thing we missed Darvish this series.

[Ultima Ratio]

Pressly looking mighty fine.

 

Hard to ship back to Boston or remove him from the pen via trade and demotion.

I'm not fussy about the shape of the rock as long as he's under it.

[ashbury]

Good thing we missed Darvish this series.

 

Now that Cy Young is out of this game we've got a chance.

[snepp]

Now that Cy Young is out of this game we've got a chance.

 

Didn't he pitch last night?

[Guest USAFChief]

In all seriousness, I'm fine with giving Escobear a shot at SS. Lord knows I've seen about enough of Floor-E-Moan. But my guess is, after three steady weeks of the 'bear, we won't like him all that much either.

[Riverbrian]

This is... I don't know... The offense is... Umm... It's been two days of this crap... Not even threatening to string something together. It's... Just... Out after out after out after out... Single followed by double play and out after out after out... It's been two days of this... Empty the flipping bench tomorrow Gardy... Play Ramirez...

[ashbury]

Didn't he pitch last night?

 

Rubber arm, that one.

[Guest USAFChief]

Didn't he pitch last night?

Unfortunately, I hear he's toeing the slab tomorrow.

[Guest USAFChief]

Dickbert: "He's kind of like Alexi Casilla..." Me: reach for blood pressure tablets...

[snepp]

Unfortunately, I hear he's toeing the slab tomorrow.

 

Then I guess it's a really good thing we're missing the Cy Young this series.

I'm with you on the "crap" part. But I can see an argument for sending the young guys out there again, at least. Reinforce that when a little 3-game losing streak happens, there's no cavalry coming to the rescue, they have to rescue themselves.

[Guest USAFChief]

RBI two out double ON AN 0-2 COUNT...make that two blood pressure tablets...

I'm not looking for a message... Positive or negative... I'm looking for a bat that isn't Ice Cold... The hot bat just might be on the bench right now.

 

Or in Anoka... I don't know.

[GCTF]

The Twins took out Pressly so he wouldn't have to face Elvis?

Nice... That was worth the price of admission.

[ashbury]

Poast of the day.

[ashbury]

RBI two out double ON AN 0-2 COUNT...make that two blood pressure tablets...

 

I'm sure there's guys at AA that it fooled last year...

John: where'd you get the pic of snepp's wife?
