Is that an example of a former MVP getting the benefit of the doubt?

[Jocko87]

Mauer almost lost a knee in the process.

Mauer almost lost a knee in the process.

 

He's got another one.

[Gibby]

Hey, you gotta love the human element of the game.

 

Especially the spitting and crotch digging.

Morneau tied Drew's laces together? Cool...

[Riverbrian]

He's got another one.

 

do the Twins trainers know this?

[Guest USAFChief]

I'm uncomfortable going much farther here with Worley.

[big dog]

Hey, Florimon didn't strike out! That's after airmailing the throw to the plate. The Twins are lucky Mauer could even catch that ball, much less make an attempt at a tag. Another weak day in the life of Pedro Florimon, Major League Ballplayer.

[Willihammer]

Get a lefty warming, Gardy!

[LaBombo]

Especially the spitting and crotch digging.

Yeah, I miss her too.

You mean, the same trainers that diagnosed "bilateral leg weakness" a couple of years ago?

[Riverbrian]

I'm uncomfortable going much farther here with Worley.

 

That Hanging Curve... Drove me into your camp.

[B Richard]

What a shame. I was enjoying this whole beating the Red Sox thing

[Riverbrian]

You mean, the same trainers that diagnosed "bilateral leg weakness" a couple of years ago?

 

Yep... That be them

[snepp]

I'm uncomfortable going much farther here with Worley.

 

Happy thoughts Chief, happy thoughts.

[Guest USAFChief]

Yeah, I miss her too.

The visuals this evening have been quite impressive, my brother. Quite impressive.

[big dog]

Crap. Pedroia hit a 23-hopper through the infield. Two on and Mr. Ortiz at the plate. Fortunately, here comes Gardy. Turn up the music- we're going Duensing.

[Willihammer]

Phew.

 

Duenslinger.

 

Now the question is, does Gardy let him face Napoli or bring in Fien immediately after?

[Gibby]

I hate squirming around in these late innings.

[snepp]

Gardy must have already gotten a nap in today.

[LaBombo]

I'm uncomfortable going much farther here with Worley.

And at some point, you figure Worley is uncomfortable too.

 

If playing bench guys more than necessary to keep them up to speed is a valuable intangible, then so is getting a pitcher having his first good game in many moons off the mound with a nice line for the night instead of going with what's best for the bullpen, etc. as the yardstick for the call.

[Gibby]

I'm sick of Coomer. This is not keeping the Twins in the ballgame.

[Guest USAFChief]

I hate squirming around in these late innings.

It's only the 6th. We got another third of a game to go, at least.

[Guest USAFChief]

That was timely.

[Gibby]

Squirming a little less now.

[Willihammer]

Twins have turned a 1-6-3 and 3-6-1 double play tonight.

 

Those seem to get botched a lot.

[Riverbrian]

Duensing Days are here again... As the summer evening grows...

 

I said its alright... You know it's alright.

[Joe A. Preusser]

Seriously? He's taking Worley out? And now who does he expect to start the "Fire Gardy For Not Taking ______ Out Thread" later tonight? Did Gardy even consider that?

[Gibby]

It's only the 6th. We got another third of a game to go, at least.

 

By God you're right. Seems late in the game to me.

[Top Gun]

Justin look good on the radio.
