Sonny Gray, everything's A-OK.

I met a young lady, 42 years ago, whose parents lived in Tucson, Arizona.  

Was her name JoJo?  Because JoJo left her home in Tucson, Arizona.

 

For some Minnesota grass.

[RickOShea]

I'm going to be so positive this season, that it will make Mr Rogers look like a manic depressive.

No, she didn't have a first name.  She went by Ms.

I aim for manic repulsive.

Have the WSox game on audio until Twins game comes on. Love Darrin Jackson's color/commentary (could be cross-posted to former Twins and where are they now).

[cHawk]

Go Twins!

I always get him confused with Kevin Euphrates, star of the Ankara Turkeys.

It's easy to remember.  Euphrates played his whole career at Fertile Crescent Park.

I can see how one could get confused. 🤣

[ashbury]

Max would lead the league in can o' corn flyballs, except for all the GIDPs to second.

[cHawk]

That was lucky. If the second baseman had fielded that throw, Byron would've been out.

[RickOShea]

Uh, oh!

Well, it's been a while since he did anything in the postseason 

[rwilfong86]

I worry all of this sliding is gonna end Buxton prematurely.

[snotboogie]

Oh fer crying out loud.

[CRF]

Every time Buxton slides...it's an adventure. 

[Mike Sixel]

My phone says injury delay. Buxton already?

[RickOShea]

Alright, Ironman Buck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Face-plant sliding into second.

He hasn't won a playoff game in two years.

[ashbury]

I am by no means qualified to judge a player of Buxton's caliber, but man alive, he makes the worst slides I've ever seen from a talented player.  Here he hits his forehead on the dirt, short of second base.

[RickOShea]

Buck is one of the few players tearing an ACL while circling the bases,...........on  homerun trot.

[cHawk]

Oh boy, an RISP situation. The Twins definitely won't **** this up (knocks on wood)

[cHawk]

Going forward, I should always knock on wood while making proclamations.

Thou shall always knock on wood whilst proclamating!

[Winston Smith]

How can these guys play baseball for 20 years and still can't slide into base without hurting themselves?
