Article: Series Preview: Twins @ Red Sox, 5/6 - 6:10pm

[Physics Guy]

Why do they keep bringing up putting Escobar in the OF? Pretty sure he's pinch-running and going in for Florimon at SS. I'm a little surprised Ramirez didn't go into LF.

[stringer bell]

Bremer and Coom didn't realize that Gardy wouldn't burn his backup catcher. No surprise to me.

Now, Bremer doesn't recognize a RH hitter is up vs. Swarzak. Dick needed the vacation, not Bert.

Chief beat me to a Kaos reference

[Gibby]

I really feel that my pessimism in the 9th reverse-jinxed us.

[Physics Guy]

Forgot about Gardy and using up the backup C.

If it will make you feel better, I can ban you for a week.

Chief beat me to a Kaos reference

We're both too GD old.

[stringer bell]

Two bits says he was safe.

He was out, just like Drew was out at the plate.

[Gibby]

Time to turn two.

[Physics Guy]

Haven't been on the game thread for awhile. 20 pages and still going. Is that typical?

[Physics Guy]

Time to turn two.

 

Nice call.

[Riverbrian]

Not at all... There usually isn't this much actual baseball discussion.

[stringer bell]

We're both too GD old.

Ahhh, I need a telephone booth and a shoe phone.

[glunn]

Time to turn two.

 

OK, you are unbanned.

[snepp]

Chief is posting tonight, that adds 5 pages of bloat right from the start.

[Gibby]

No, but neither is the Twins showing some fortitude after disappointment.

[glunn]

Ahhh, I need a telephone booth and a shoe phone.

 

And Agent 99?

[Ultima Ratio]

Yeah, it would be nice to have another lefty in the pen.

[stringer bell]

Swarzie stops the string of single runs scored by the Sox. This game might end by midnight Eastern Time.

Ouch! I chuckled out loud on that one.

[stringer bell]

And Agent 99?

Oh yeah, 99! I was about 14 and I thought she was.....hot!

[Riverbrian]

Yeah, it would be nice to have another lefty in the pen.

 

You gotta play with the clubs in your bag.

[Gibby]

I smell a Plooffy blast.

You're selling me a bit short, there, aintcha?

[glunn]

Plouffe, please make good contact.

[Riverbrian]

Oh yeah, 99! I was about 14 and I thought she was.....hot!

 

Thought? Girl next door Hot. No doubt.

[snepp]

A good analyst always errs on the conservative side.

[Ultima Ratio]

Carroll not PR for Plouffe? Weird.

[Guest USAFChief]

A good analyst always errs on the conservative side.

Which is why I'm surprised at the undersell.

[stringer bell]

What! No pinch runner for Plouffe? Carroll is available and he's still 39.
