Game Thread: Twins @ Royals, 6/4 - 7:10pm

[ashbury]

Did Dick just say "infield fly called on this foul ball..."?

 

Let's phone Stew and get the official word on this call.

[Riverbrian]

Doumit walks to lead off the inning. This should be big.

 

OK... Can we stop doing this sort of thing now. It's clearly working in reverse.

[ashbury]

Miss February.

 

They apparently had different lunchboxes in Juvie.

[snepp]

Sidney Ponson called, he would approve of Mendoza's mullet if only it were greasier.

 

 

Mike Smith tweeted his agreement.

[snepp]

So, Dickbert, where does George Brett rank in your list of fantasies?

[Guest USAFChief]

I have to defer to your expertise on this subject.

I'm rubber, you're glue? We expect better of you, Chief.

Did Dick just say "infield fly called on this foul ball..."?

Indeed he did. He doesn't know the rules. I knew this in grade school. He should be doing PBP for cable access somewhere. Right before Wayne's world.

[ashbury]

OK, show of hands, if Nostradamus himself had told you before the game, after two innings one pitcher would have 3 walks and the other just 1, would you have guessed Deduno would be the second one?

[Guest USAFChief]

Deduno seems to have good control of his breaking stuff today.

 

Possibly another candidate for the "signs of the apocalypse" thread.

[Riverbrian]

I just got a like from Glunn... So he's reading to catch up... Everybody shout Glunn likes he's Norm when he finally posts.

[ashbury]

Indeed he did. He doesn't know the rules.

 

It's the umpire's fault. He needs to call out loudly, "not an infield fly, unless fair!".

[Riverbrian]

OK, show of hands, if Nostradamus himself had told you before the game, after two innings one pitcher would have 3 walks and the other just 1, would you have guessed Deduno would be the second one?

 

I showed my hand... You probably didn't see it from Nevada.

Take it easy on Glunn. Ever since he found the stash of photos of Olivia on teh internets, he's typing with one hand and can't communicate as fast.

[Guest USAFChief]

Willingham working on the ol' OBP.

[Riverbrian]

Glunn is like our Norm... Without the timing.

I am still at the office, but am hopeful that I can go home soon and watch Deduno's magic.

I am more ambitious than that. I am devising a plan to meet Olivia in person.

norm!!

[glunn]

OK, I am done at work. Will drive home, take dog on walk to pick up dinner then sign back on.

glunn!

[LaBombo]

Did Dick just say "infield fly called on this foul ball..."?

It's certainly possible. He just said that Deduno "shaved the outside corner" on a pitch that Mauer caught on the second bounce while laying on his side about 10 feet or so from the plate.

 

Say, has anyone else noted how much of a defensive stiff Mauer has become?

[snepp]

.

 

glorm!

Depends on whether you made the cut for the gifted program there. Also, I have it on good authority that alums prefer the term 'gladiator academy'.

[ashbury]

Be careful about meeting your heroes, lest you be disappointed. I shook hands with Cecil Fielder and he was about the same height (but not weight) as Freddie Patek. I exaggerate, but not by that much.

Huh. I had the same experience with Miss February, only my disappointment was on more of a, um, horizontal axis.

[Riverbrian]

I met Jimmy Page and he was terrible at spitting... It would fall out of his mouth and hang before falling on his shirt and get in his guitar strings... He must have spit like that 10 times.

 

Every time I hear a Zep Guitar Riff now... I think of spit.

[snepp]

They make a pill for that.

[Guest USAFChief]

They make a pill for that.

And don't i know it.
