What?

I originally posted something here because it took me a second to get the joke... ignore this.

[Squirrel]

It is a little harder in a church.

 

You work in church? Are you a minister?

[Winston Smith]

Has Dick used the "if we can pick up a few wins before the All Star game we can get back in race" line yet?

[James]

I thought they handed out booze at a lot of churches.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Yes.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Some churches do, but even there it's frowned upon for the minister to drink it all themselves and not share.

 

In any case, we use grape juice.

[GCTF]

So, 12 outs from being no-hit.

[JeffReboulet]

It can't be said enough, Jeff. That is one fantastic moustache.

 

 

Moustache more impressive than my career stats!?!?

 

What's the over/under on us being no-hit today? We look so dead. Or maybe it's just the Metrodome flashbacks I'm having.

[Squirrel]

I think the Twins will have better luck if I go to the grocery store.

Mogen David Concord Grape

 

for communion wine. And despite the fact that its contains alcohol, I'm not sure it can be called booze. More like grapey-sugar.

Meanwhile Pelfrey hasn't completely sucked...yet.

Drunk Preachers are always interesting.

Wilfong stache > Reb stache > Pavano stache > Wilfong career stats > Reb career stats.

[nicksaviking]

So barring another baserunner, Plouffe will get to try to play hero by spoiling the no hitter with 2 outs in the top of the 9th. The anticipation is killing me.

 

Edit: Scratch that, I guess it's up to Dozier. My gamecast isn't quite up-to-date.

Wilfong stache > Reb stache > Pavano stache > Wilfong career stats > Reb career stats.

 

> Jeff Gray > Nishi's career stats

[GCTF]

Did I read that right? Florimon batting .098 as a right hander. Good grief.

 

10 outs to go.

Thats 536 Major League Hits and exactly 536 more than I have.

[James]

There we go. First step, get a hit.

[snepp]

Twins Win!!!

[Riverbrian]

1 hit and counting.

[GCTF]

> Jeff Gray > Nishi's career stats

 

> Delmon's "D" > Nishi's "D".

 

The nightmare is over. Till next time.

[GCTF]

Twins Win!!!

 

something something making a trade.

[mikeee]

the no hitter is vanquished.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Drunk Preachers are always interesting.

 

Reminds me of the story of the new priest who followed his mentors advice to take some wine to brace himself up for the service. He asked his mentor for advice after the service, and his mentor said "Not bad, but a few minor points. There are 10 commandments, not 12; there were 12 apostles, not 10. And David slew Goliath, he didn't kick the **** out of him."

[GCTF]

Thats 536 Major League Hits and exactly 536 more than I have.

 

But it took him 10,000 PA to get them. Give or take a few.

Can I count this as a call if it happened three innings too early?

[Riverbrian]

Tie game... Where was Fuld throwing...

[James]

Breaking up a no-hitter and score a run in the same inning? What is happening?

[JB_Iowa]

Now to get a lead.

[GCTF]

I still think Carroll looks like some kind of rodent.
