Hey Chief! Do we drink to the "good trip to the mound by Anderson" comment by Bert?

[ashbury]

Tough news for the wife.

 

Fewer characters to type and you still got beat to the punch by niksaviking, old-timer.

[ashbury]

concur.

 

EDIT: I get credit for "riverbrain," though, no? 1 for 2?

 

Partial credit. You missed "brian river". Also, "brien rivar".

Hey Chief! Do we drink to the "insert comment of choice here" by Bert?

Yes.

[Gibby]

Why would you run on Gordon?

[CairoCrown]

That was a beautiful play.

I'm not even mad.

[heatbeat]

Man Gordon is a monster out there.

[Riverbrian]

Why would you run on Gordon?

 

Carroll thought he was 36 again.

In fairness, he's probably on an electric typewriter.

Plenty of game left

[Riverbrian]

Where did Glorm go?

 

He normally leaves a menu before he steps out.

[ashbury]

Do the Royals as a rule not take many pitches for strikes? Sure looks like they are up there to get some swings in today.

+1 Sir. You and Jamey Carroll are on a roll.

Yeah and some kinda loud fouls.

That's awesome... You gotta go through a lot to earn them.

 

Ashbury says "Hello"

 

Hooray for speech therapy.

[stringer bell]

KC really looks like they are swinging the bats well right now, but Gibson kept them off the board in the fourth.

[ashbury]

Th-th-th-that's easy f-f-for y-y-you to s-s-say.

[GCTF]

Speaking of Blyleven...at the end of his 6th season with the Twins (his age 24 season) he had logged over 1600 IP. His worst ERA was 3.18 (his rookie year), his worst WHIP was 1.17, and had K'd over 1300 batters.

 

And he had yet to swear on live TV.

See, this is probably what management meant about Gibson not being consistent. No runs in the first two innings, then two runs in the third, then right back to no runs. How do you expect them to get a bead on this guy?

[Guest USAFChief]

And he had yet to swear on live TV.

Only because that was before TV was invented.

[stringer bell]

Is that right? He is certainly doing well today. Also, I have to be honest that given the players he decided to start, his right-handed options to split up his lefties are mostly worse. I'd have preferred 2)Mauer 3) Plouffe 4) Morneau 5) Arcia 6) Dozier if breaking up the lefties is important to him. But, Gardy's magic sauce has led to a strong start and I am enjoying seeing Gibson in the bigs.

Dozier's OPS in day games is .772, at home it is .818. He also has a big right/left split.

[stringer bell]

Heart of the order for baseball pitcher KG to be eligible for a win.

[CairoCrown]

Whos there?

Still waiting on the setup.
