You sound like my kind of woman. About 30 years ago, lol.

 

heh ... I ain't young. I wish I were that kind of woman 30 years ago, too.

[ashbury]

Any guesses which team is more annoyed at having one of their days off taken away from them by the rainout?

[Thegrin]

GCL Twins won. 2-1

Alex Meyer and Lewis Thorp threw well

[Mike Sixel]

I'd say Meyer is a bit better than the competition at that level, that's what you'd hope he would do if healthy on a rehab.....so YAY! Hoping this means he's soon back in AA.

When did Willingham change his walk-up music to Sweet Home Alabama?

[Squirrel]

And on that ... I'm out ... have to get to the emissions testing station before the after-work crowd hits it.

[Riverbrian]

Hmmm ... what do you consider fat? I might be considered fat next to an anorexic person ... and I'm not singing at all.

 

Typical Girl reaction to that word.

 

Guy: Wow... You look Great in that Dress

Girl: What do you mean I'm fat

[Riverbrian]

At the risk of getting serious, I was more or less thinking along these lines yesterday, as we went 2 for 3,000 with runners in scoring position. Couldn't we try to steal a base? Hit and run a little bit? Move an opposing batter off the plate? It just seems like complete station-to-station statue play, waiting for Plouffe to pop up with runners on (yes, I'm sour on Trevor after supporting him a long time). Dead Men Walking. I know most of these guys can't hit, but can't they do something? I exempt Dozier from this rant.

 

Great catch against Willingham there.

 

Yeah... What you Said... Yeah... It's been my rant for awhile. I'll leave the payroll arguments to others. I want to see this team move around and play baseball as God Intended it to be played.

 

The Clubhouse manager is saving Pohlad money on Tide. There is nothing to wash after the games.

[glunn]

I am just checking in and am glad that I am not watching this mess. Since when did the Mets become such a powerhouse that the Twins seem to have zero chance to beat them?

[Riverbrian]

Glorm... I think it's just You and Me and I'm barely here. Day Game on a Monday... They are losing to boot and the Game can't be seen on TV unless you are miles away.

 

Tough conditions to work under.

Waiting eagerly to learn of the Mets announcers' view on the legitimacy of the run just scored.

All I can do is wait for a Sano show tonight... Sano better hit one dinger at least.

I just noticed that when I was at the game on Friday. I was disappointed when I first heard it.

It's going to be difficult to write that final paper tonight with that game on. I hope he hits two dingers.

Haven't been listening to the game, but catching up as I saw the game progress. I was curious as to what others had to say about Gibson. My thought when I saw the ticker on ESPN was that it's time to shut him down. His confidence will be shot if they give him a few more outings like this. 12 baserunners and 11 outs is not a good ratio.

[Physics Guy]

Maybe it was good they didn't televise this one. I might have to find a way to catch the AA game tonight.

A WHOP of 1.09 is supposed to be really good, isn't it?

That WHOP just bought him a ticket to Rochester, so the Twins must think so.

[CGNikolic]

Kyle Gibson has just been sent back to AAA.

[ThePuck]

Kyle Gibson has just been sent back to AAA.

 

after another beating.

[big dog]

Here's hoping he can have a reasonably successful AAA start and then perhaps sit down and get ready for next year. He's been through enough.

I forgot the Twins had a game today.

 

Kinda like they did.
