It looks like the magic has worn off for Mr. Albers.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Which old one? I've changed it a few times. The new one is the beach on Sanibel Island at sunset.

 

My wife and I honeymooned there. I remember that beach.

[Squirrel]

**** it. I'm going to Target.

 

 

 

 

Yes, I said this same thing last night, but I never actually got to Target because my sister called. Maybe my absence will produce more Twins runs scored.

Hah. They said the same thing about Correia.

[Winston Smith]

Hah. They said the same thing about Correia.

 

North or South Corriea?

[ashbury]

And..............we're tied.

 

And..............we're not anymore.

 

And..............now we are again. I'm getting motion sickness.

[stringer bell]

Verlander....Vincible?

[stringer bell]

I see the Cubbies are delayed. In my neck of the woods, we had a torrential downpour and 20 miles away, I could have been playing golf if I didn't have to go to work. Anyway, I hope you don't (didn't) get swept away by a downpour!

[ashbury]

Verlander....vincible?

 

He's not the first pitcher the Herrmannator has made to look bad.

 

/ perhaps is the first since Elizabethton, I'd have to ask Seth

[stringer bell]

North or South Corriea?

Oh, Correia has gone south all right!

[LaBombo]

Nice game for Herrmann, but please, Gardy, can we not be subjected to seeing him being sent, even on a full count?

 

Oh, wait, I forgot. He's batting second, meaning he's fast today.

[ashbury]

Carnac: **** it. I'm going to Target.

Ed: Don't we have a show to do?

Carnac: "**** it. I'm going to Target." That's the answer, o Rotund One.

Ed: Ah. You are, once again, miles ahead of me, your Magnificence.

Carnac: May the fleas of a thousand semi trucks infest your loading dock.

Ed: Hey-yo. Would you please open the envelope?

Carnac: What did Jim Pohlad say when he saw the prices at Macy's?

[LaBombo]

Doumit misses bunt sign, goes deep, ends up in dog house.

[ashbury]

doumitsie!

[ashbury]

Oh, Correia has gone south all right!

 

How come we never say that someone who is going good has Gone North?

[LaBombo]

Verlander....vincible?

Looks like the second v should be capitalized after Doumsie's shot.

[stringer bell]

Hey, Tigers. Your catchers are all banged up. The Twins have a guy......

[LaBombo]

How come we never say that someone who is going good has Gone North?

Going Up North is generally regarded as a good thing in Minnesota, at least on summer weekends and holidays. Does that count?

[stringer bell]

Now, where were we? Yeah, that's right, our ace is on the mound. Game over.

[LaBombo]

Not another word...

[stringer bell]

Not another word...

Oops!

That is great Carnac!

*checks into game*

 

Huh? Five runs against Verlander? We're lucky to get five hits off Verlander.

[stringer bell]

The Tigers need a catcher and they have starting pitching depth (Smylie in BP)--how about Verlander for Doumit?

... five decent swings...

 

... five pitches that can be seen by the unaided human eye...

Read what you just said. The Tigers need a catcher. Not a right fielder...

[LaBombo]

Oops!

Looks like you were right to test him by putting runners on with the jinx. Kid did a great job of digging himself out of the hole. Got Cabrera again. However the game turns out, that has to be a confidence builder.

The Tigers should also throw in Cabrera for Plouffe. They need a younger, healthier 3B.

[glunn]

That was cold.

[ashbury]

Who knew, when Terry Ryan said he had found the Twins' own Justin Verlander, by signing Kevin Correia, that it was an insult? To Correia, I mean?
