[Nine of twelve]

OK guys, I dare you to score a run.

[USAFChief]

Never trust a pitcher with 2 first names. 

[cHawk]

Did you know that spiders make good outfielders? I didn't, not until I remembered that they're good fly catchers.

With about the same degree of precision.

[RickOShea]

With Bux speed, how about a bunt?.

Correa is now batting .351 in the 11 games since moving to leadoff.

Chief, check your security system. cHawk seems to have broken in and stolen your joke book.

The barrel of Buxton’s bat is providing a very small target for the pitchers this year.

[RickOShea]

This pitcher so bad, he's good.

Wow, Wow, just checking in and listening on the radio…..Attebury just sounds like a high school announcer for a small town, very small town radio station.

less is more ….

Clear step down from Provus but Provus is also excellent.  It may be one of those jobs like NFL QB, lots can do it but only a couple dozen that are actually any good at it.  I was listening to some draft on the radio while traveling and they would play radio highlight calls, like that has any value to a listener.  Whoof.  Most of those guys make Atteberry sound like prime Scully.  Its a tough job. 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Not surprised that we found a way to not score there.

AARGH. 

[RickOShea]

Well, I haven't seen where a 4 day all star break has done anything to change this team's performance, attitude, or result.

And, as usual, we failed miserably again.
