Good lord, I hope that's not a rule.

 

Good Lord ... you think I follow rules let alone make them?

[James]

Well, I see the Twins have punted on this game and decided to save Mauer's knees a bit by letting him sit out the rest of the game.

[PseudoSABR]

Abysmal. Unwatchable. It's like sawdust in my mouth, but I think Gardy needs to go. Maybe Anderson too. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I really want to see Molitor wearing the skipper hat next year.

[GCTF]

So which position player will pitch the 8th?

[Guest USAFChief]

6 outs to get yet. Over/under on number on pitchers used besides Pressly?

Well according to Bert, they've already moved Duensing to second somehow. Maybe the Twins are mixing it up today.

2.5

There's a Gilligan's Island joke to be made here but I'm just not feeling it.

Can yet another Ginger v. Maryann kerfuffle be far behind?

The 8th??

I hope the professor makes a bullpen car out of bamboo and coconuts.

[Alex]

The 8th??

 

We traded Butera....

...and carries the skipper off the island.

Somebody needs to fire Hudler.

When people say save some runs for tomorrow, where would you put them? Amazing insight from Rex.

[adjacent]

The only thing I don't understand in blow outs like this, is why not let Correia there until his arm falls off. It's his mess after all. Now on top of the blow out, there is no bullpen for tomorrow (well, half of a bullpen).

[S.]

I bet the Astros are pissed they didn't get to face Correia.

[James]

Jamie Carroll! 76MPH Heat!

[Guest USAFChief]

Nothing says "rebuilding team" like Jamie Carroll.

 

On the mound.

 

Edit: Moon must've gotten in Arcia's eyes.

[James]

Carroll made that look too easy.

[ashbury]

Glad I tuned back in just in time to see a closely contested ballgame. Any thoughts on who might win tonight?

[GCTF]

Called it, btw.

[Guest USAFChief]

Let's put on the rally caps boys, and help Carroll vulture a W here!

[ashbury]

We look more like the Astros than the Astros

 

ftfy

[James]

That might be a pretty tall order.

[Top Gun]

How are the Twins doin tonite?

[Winston Smith]

It's ok to give up now!

[Guest USAFChief]

Loozah.

[ashbury]

I'da made him toss a complete game, and I don't care how many pitches it took.

 

That could have a negative impact on his performance in his next game.
