Well at least Australia Blackburn/Joe Mays/Jeff Gray is keeping us in this thing.

Oh, man ... that was good. Dinner I mean. And I mean my real dinner, the take-out I brought home with me. That was one damn fine Philly cheesesteak from Jersey Mike's

We shared a bag of Oreo cookies after group therapy.

[glunn]

lol ... which reminds me ... Glunn, how was the dog party and what did you end up bringing for a gift?

 

The dog party was fun. We brought a squeaky toy and a plush toy.

 

There was a very beautiful and tall blonde woman, recently divorced, who spent most of the evening focused on me. On the way home, my wife commented on this, but I was not in trouble because I did not initiate anything and because my wife knows that I would never want to be with any woman that skinny. Still, I was flattered by the attention and it reduced the sting of having a birthday that is pushing me closer to 60.

I need to try that. There is a Jersey Mike's that is less than 800 feet from my front door.

This one opened up last spring and this was my first try. It's right next to the L stop. And since I'm leaving town tomorrow for a week and have nothing of any substance in my frig, decided to give it a go. The cheese was all melty and the peppers and onions grilled to perfection. Just, yum!

[glunn]

Darvish has only 7 Ks through 5 innings. Maybe he is injured?

I always order the #1, but now I want to try the cheesesteak.

Pitch to contact.

[amjgt]

Has a no hitter ever been so inevitable?

 

I was actually thinking to myself earlier... "is there a sports betting website out there that makes lines on no hitters in individual games?"

If so I wouldn't hesitate to put money down on Tanyon Sturtze against the Twins.

But he's not very g... Oh.

[GCTF]

Maybe not.

[mikeee]

Darvish has a shutdown going.

You hear that, OldLadyChicagoFan?

[amjgt]

O/U on Yu's Game Score is 98.5

[Guest USAFChief]

Hey everyone, just thought I'd pop in and check out the game thread. How's the offense lookin' tonight?

The Twins batters probably deserve some of the blame but I'm holding you accountable for the top of the sixth.

[stringer bell]

David Wells, Catfish Hunter, Jared Weaver...Yu Darvish?

[ashbury]

Archie the Rally Avatar is looking kinda sickly so far.

Nolan Ryan is just sitting there thinking he should start for the Rangers tomorrow.

I never blame a guy for that. But there are a few number of times I'm glad he's gotten thrown out before getting there.

[mikeee]

Someone should tell him he's tipping his pitches. Palmball on the way.

[mikeee]

There is one guy batting over .250 in the Twin's lineup. That is depressing.

No surprises thus far.

Back in the day, I had a low OBP, but I kept my OPS respectable with a high SLG. I tried to leg everything into an XBH.

I bet your ISO was through the roof

Well, truth be told, there are a few times I've overthrown first on purpose. And then there are times where really, it was an awfully timed error.

[amjgt]

Not that I'm scouring sports betting websites, but a moneyline of -330 has to be pretty rare.
