There is no tanking or crying in baseball.

[GCTF]

Willingham, you are so slow.

[Squirrel]

argh. Hawk: "Thank you, Lord." Guess he went to church this morning.

[D. Hocking]

Just got home and saw this on the box score: . Plouffe walked, R. Doumit to second, J. Willingham out at home

 

How did Willingham get out on a walk?

[snepp]

Pedro Hernandez "pitched well" when he was up with the Twins.

 

 

 

*sigh*

Wild-pitch-type play.

Ball 4 was a wild pitch - Willingham tried to come home.

[D. Hocking]

Ah - thanks. I take it he probably did not break any speed records.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Ah - thanks. I take it he probably did not break any speed records.

 

Last I saw, he was still en route.

[ashbury]

Ball 4 was a wild pitch

 

Woulda been, had anybody reached an extra base.

[glunn]

It's something to look at, but I'm not personally a fan of teams tanking, like they do in the lesser sports, somewhat in the NFL and quite openly in the NBA. Nor of rooting for that as an effect.

 

I am not a fan of that either, but when it comes I find that thinking of a good draft pick provides some solace.

[snepp]

Catches that, an outfielder does.

[glunn]

I just got back from picking up breakfast. I was accosted by two young women in sun dresses who wanted restaurant advice and to pet my dog. That will probably be the highlight of my day.

[GCTF]

Standing.

[jorgenswest]

Willingham is a liability in the field. A liability on the bases. He will decline further next year. It is time to release him. No one would take on his contract. The Twins got one good year for the 21 million.

[Squirrel]

sigh. not sure how much more of this i can take.

I am going to take a shot in dark and assume your wife never goes on walks with you.

[GCTF]

Some kind of euphemism?

[Squirrel]

crap on plouffe

Luckily she did not go on today's walk. Now my dog smells of perfume and I have a nice memory.

[Guest USAFChief]

Yup...said this the other night: I SO want to like Plouffe, but he seems determined to thwart me.

[glunn]

crap on plouffe

 

Not a good at bat.

[Squirrel]

Not a good at bat.

 

I guess that was the nicer way to put it ... but what can I say ... I'm more expressive than tactful <G>

[snepp]

Twins Baseball™.

[Squirrel]

damn it damn it damn it

[ashbury]

I'm sure Hawk is cackling up a storm about that inning. At least, we made an old man happy.

[Bark's Lounge]

This is meant for Glunn as he might be the only one who knows what the hell I am talking about.

 

David Koresh is to the Branch Davidians what Bark's Lounge is to Plouffeism.

[snepp]

damn it damn it damn it

 

Now that the niceties are out of the way, what did you think of that last inning?

I get it' date=' but I retain a slight hope that the Plouffe situation will end less tragically.
