No Mauer? Cheapskate!

[Riverbrian]

No Mauer? Cheapskate!

 

I love Mauer but Yadier handles a pitching staff and handles the base runners better. Plus his offense is nothing to sneeze at.

 

And yeah... That 23 million thing.

[ashbury]

Lexi .183 BA .435 OPS (somebody has to play second and make outs)

 

You have him batting 9th. Does not compute.

Q: What do Ryan Doumit in RF and Michael Jackson have in common? (Or, "did", I guess I should say.)

 

/ keep it clean, guys

[Mr. Brooks]

What the hell? I thought the Dozier thing was just because of the NL lineup. This is just a mess. What is wrong with this manager?

 

I think we all knew it would only be a matter of time.

Only 140 Million.

[Riverbrian]

Jeez... He had him and then plunked him.

[ashbury]

Jeez... He had him and then plunked him.

 

Aaaaaand... we're off.

/ keep it clean, guys

 

Ryan Doumit was once kept in a cage at the Neverland ranch.

Bzzt. Survey says: They both wear a glove on one hand for no obvious reason.

 

/ an oldie, I know, you were just playing along

 

/ and, while I was typing, Doumsie snares a liner hit his way

I had more guesses and they were gonna be good. You killed them!

[Riverbrian]

Deduno... My Man... I never wanna miss his starts... Pure entertainment.

[ashbury]

Shoulda led off with one 'a the good ones, then, my brother.

I've already given the mods a heads-up...

Ever heard of building to the big finish?

[ashbury]

Ever heard of building to the big finish?

 

It's only scheduled for nine innings.

[Riverbrian]

Sumpin Cookin.

[stringer bell]

What happened to Plouffie?

[ashbury]

Sumpin Cookin.

 

How y'all like our #2 hitter now?

[ashbury]

I had more guesses and they were gonna be good. You killed them!

 

OK, I reconsidered and I guess I owe you one.

 

Q: Why are umpires fat?

 

I'll save the corny answer for later in the game after you've delivered the gems we know you're capable of.

[Riverbrian]

These guys can turn things around on a dime... Unfortunately they can turn it back just as fast.

They always clean their plate?

Thank You... I'll be back with Comedy Gold.

[Riverbrian]

Thats good but mine will be better.

[Kobs]

Doumit involved in another misplayed ball in right.

[ashbury]

Thats good but mine will be better.
