Awaskan Minoriki.

[Riverbrian]

Alright... Some true hop turf baseball.

[GCTF]

No MLBtv for me when they play the Jays. The game is on TV but listening to Buck Martinez for a nanosecond will make your ears bleed. Truly awful.

[GCTF]

Awaskan Minoriki.

 

Your post has been reported. The people of Awaskan are not impressed.

Hey! A couple of my best friends are Awaskan.

It must be tough being Canuck

[Riverbrian]

The Jays won't be as much fun to watch without Lawrie

[Riverbrian]

Dozier does his job

[Gibby]

Burhle looks kinda puffy.

[Gibby]

Bert looked like he needed a vacation.

That should be "A Wouple"

[Gibby]

Nice job, for a change.

[Riverbrian]

Ok... Bring that run in Mr. vet... Morneau

[Gibby]

I bet Dick would have loved a productive out there.

[Riverbrian]

I'm sick of that striking out... With a runner on third.

[Beezer07]

And the Twins record-setting pace for LOB in a single season continues (I can only assume).

It's worse when it happens twice in a row.

[glunn]

And so it begins again. The Jays are merely Yankees with bird logos on their uniforms.

[Riverbrian]

GLORM!!!

 

What's Up Glorm?

 

a Roof... Some Lights... And what appears to be dust from 1922.

[Beezer07]

Just FYI, the Twins average 7.5 LOB/game. I have no idea how to compare that with other teams though...

[ThePuck]

I like how Coomer dogs out Encarnacion for not sprinting to avoid a double play saying that's why they are where they are in the standings. Okay, what about his 23 HR, 66 RBI and .889 OPS?

[Beezer07]

Is anyone else finding it impossible to see the ball with the Blue Jays' turf as the background?

[Guest USAFChief]

Liriano with a complete game 4 hitter for Pittsburgh today. He's now 8-3 with a an ERA just over 3.

 

I know I'm in the minority but letting an arm like that leave the organization for AAAA filler was ... not smart.
