One of the best Blizzards I’ve had was a special … Thin Mint Blizzard

Thin Mints belong in a blizzard.  They don't belong on a hot dog.

Sorry, I don't know what that is.  What does it do?

It's a hot dog topping.

He throws the ball into the ground on purpose. 

He does. But not the doublehopper. It looked like he was hurrying and spiked that one

[cHawk]

You know what the worst part about that Polanco groundout is?

No blizzards.

With a cannon of an arm, time to plant his feet, a close play, and he throws it into the ground on purpose? Which will take more time for the ball to get there than a rope in the air? Not a great plan if it is on purpose.

[IndianaTwin]

Guess I’ll have to buy my own Blizzard.

Pretty impressive by Lopez. Hey, hasn't every current starter gone at least five shutout innings so far?

I don’t think Varland has gone 5 scoreless yet this year. He did give up only one in six innings yesterday.

I don't get it.

There goes the shutout. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Whoops, got Soto-ed there.

Just put it on @Squirrels tab.  They'll know what to do.

[h2oface]

Those guys need to practice the Bo Jackson run up the padded wall and catch those fly balls 😇

[IndianaTwin]

Thank goodness Soto hit in the seventh, or we’d have to buy @Squirrel the Blizzard.

[h2oface]

Brock Stewart with a one run lead in the 7th? Hmmmmm

Good luck to Brock, and us all.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Not sure I'd be warming up Stewart at this point...

See if bullpen can hold the lead.

No its a floor wax.

6.1 for Pablo. BP needs eight outs. Not trusting the Twins to score again.

Its gaseous form was used by the Germans in World War I.

With Thielbar down and Jax blowing the game yesterday, Stewart is the next logical guy with Lopez and Duran finishing out the game. Not that I feel good about it, either.

Depends on if any of them want a Blizzard in ChiTown.

[Brock Beauchamp]

LOL. Stewart with the 29% K rate and the 25% BB rate.

Oh, why didn't you just say so!  I know what that is!

I don't know why you'd want it on a hot dog though.  That's still a mystery.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Good god, when Stewart can stay in the zone, his stuff is just nasty.

Jax pitched yesterday. Besides Jorge López and Duran, he’s next on the pecking order.

Praying he stays in the zone 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Brent Honeywell Jr definitely grew up on a yacht.

[Squirrel]

Was he on anyone’s radar?

[h2oface]

Of couse Brock Stewart!
