I did one for the Brewers series but I had to leave town unexpectedly and don't have a stable Internet connection out here in the sticks.

 

I'll have one back up for the next series.

I'll be at tonight's game in person. I'm not too optimistic with Seattle's #2 against the Twins' #5(+), but the club is playing well and maybe someone will do something noteworthy. Heck, seeing that the Twins have a better record than the Mariners, I now predict a victory tonight--yeah, that's the ticket!

Watch out for the rude guy that Westgaard ran into.

 

Have a good time.

What if they both hit?

[Joe A. Preusser]

If both teams hit, we win.

Wrong... We check the channel and change it to the correct game.

I'm at the other end.

Nah, it'll be whichever team wanted it more. Or got after it, or whatever.

 

BTW, I am risking the power of avatar girl on the pitching prowess of Pelfrey. Let's hope this doesn't burn her out - nice winning streak once I put her back in the lineup.

[Riverbrian]

LOL... That would make you the ass of the ass. That is way too much synergy potential. It may end up influencing the tides.

[Joe A. Preusser]

Ass of the ass. I hereby patent that term for future use.

She can handle it.

The key to a Twin's win tonight is to keep Ichiro off base and keep Brett Boone from going yard.

That's all moot if we can't hit Randy Johnson's slider.

Yeah... I worry about that Langston guy on the mound.

[Riverbrian]

On a serious note... I watched that Iwakuma pitch a couple times last year and I was very impressed and it seemed like no one knew who he was.

 

I kinda felt like he was my personal bit of knowledge.

 

OK... Whew.. That was exhausting being serious for 40 words or so. It takes a lot out of you.

Twins are 14-0 when outhitting their opponent. So you may be on to something here...

[Riverbrian]

Report from around the league... Domonic Brown is hot and... And... And... Is first name is spelt funny.

[ashbury]

She can handle it.

 

We're still talking about a good game against the Mariners tonight, right?

[Physics Guy]

I'm at the other end.

 

Nothing like good self-deprecating humor.

What are the stats for when they are outscored, however?

[ashbury]

Nothing like good self-deprecating humor.

 

I think that one was self-defecating humor, but we'll go with your take on things.

I'm pretty sure we still couldn't hit his slider.

You are on a roll.

Not good....that's all I know.

I've been self-defecating all my life. I have a badge.
