  1. Houston scores 2 in the top of the ninth.
  2. Talking about Harvey Haddix. His 12-inning no-hitter was a perfect game. Bert finally got prompted to say that.
  3. Bert is very self-deprecating about his HR-allowed record but his skin seems very thin when someone else makes light of it.
  4. I don't think any of us knows the details of how the team and Gibson have been communicating about and dealing with this medical issue. But this may (and I emphasize MAY) be an example of a player trying to tough it out and play through a problem without telling the team. This false macho attitude has got to go, and I'm not talking about Gibson here. Keeping an athlete as healthy as possible is of highest importance to the athlete and to his or her team. If I were running a team I would require players to report any and all discomfort. In this day and age medical and training personnel are very well-versed in their crafts and are much better at knowing what to do and when than the player. Let them decide what to play through and what not to.
  5. Bert referencing Jim Bibby. I've heard him referred to as the larger brother of an NBA player.
  6. Go to the game recap of yesterday's game by Mr. Froemming. There's a link to it. (It was after the game was over.)
  7. We'll have to agree to strongly disagree.
  8. Jim Kaat should be in the booth for as many games as he is willing to be there. I like Morneau and Smalley better than any of the rest. I wish they'd have two analysts as often as is feasible and have Dick there only to describe the plays that need describing. On the few occasions they've done that in the past it seems like the conversations between two actual baseball players have been great.
  9. The SS kind of double-clutched on the throw on Arraez' grounder. If he would have thrown as he stepped on the base instead of taking another couple baby steps it would have been a DP.
  10. I wonder if Bert got a talking-to about saying what he said to Anthony LaPanta last night. I imagine it was not a big deal between them but it sure came across otherwise on the air.
  11. The AL Central is currently a collective 56 games under .500. No other division has a losing record.
  12. Did Bert just really say "Up yours"? It's time to retire.
  13. Oh well. But magic number declines to 23!
  14. TB 9, Cle 2 after 7 complete.
  15. Rays up 5-2 over Cleveland now.
  16. OK, so every team, even good ones, have WTF innings. If any team can come back to win it's us. Get to work and do it.
  17. If we finish the season with the same winning percentage as we have now we will end up at 100-62. Cleveland would have to go 22-5 to pass us.
  18. Which is part and parcel of why it's pretty good.
  19. Include me in the "disagree with you" group. Ray Scott was a generic sports announcer who happened to work for the Twins for a bit. Herb was a baseball guy through and through and he also had the pipes and the talent for calling a game. He is surpassed only by Vin Scully. IMHO, of course.
  20. There is room for argument on the call by Joe West at second base. The basepath is six feet wide so he could be interpreted as being in the base path even though he was on the third base side of second base.
