MVP Nick Punto

Now that we've got past that killer of a starter they had out there, things are looking up.

Jake cave still owes us a couple RBI this game.

You can't necessarily compare. I had mine out at 20, and I was out of any kind of strenuous activity for 2+ weeks. I went through 2 hydrocodone prescriptions and the doc wouldn't write another, so I had to take Ibuprofen which felt like it did exactly **** for pain reduction.

>:C

Ughhhhhhh

HR and a zinger for an assist. 07/24 is now Eddie Rosario day. Edit: boo, great throw, though, Eddie.

Man, I must be tired from last night's game. I close my eyes, and when I open them, there's cheering and we're up by 2. Good work, Professional Hitter and Ed.

oof. Good contact max. do it again tomorrow.

I am sweating bullets.

Yee

Killa~

Now, I'm only familiar with you from a couple of game threads. But, You seem to generally bring good information and a good attitude to the board. I have no problem with you discussing Cleveland results in-real-time on a gamethread here, because gamethreads are made to go on tangents a little bit, anyway. I also have no problem with you making a post about analysis regarding the rest of the Twins' and Tribe's seasons because this is a gamethread, and that analysis bears on this game and the rest of our teams' games this season. So, I think if you simply decline to respond to posters in a personal manner who decide they need to deem you a troll in a gamethread, it would do wonders towards suggesting that you are not, in fact, a troll. You only have control over yourself. If someone wants to address something about you, you should be allowed to respond with regards to yourself in any way. "I'm not a troll, but I'm adding to the discussion in a way you may not necessarily appreciate yourself, and I understand. Thank you for your concern." Asking someone "do you own this part of the internet?" may be taken the wrong way, in that it doesn't contribute to the discussion. I don't think, given anything you posted about the Tribe or Twins in this thread that you should have been considered a troll to begin with, but how you respond, even to spurious claims matters as well. I think if you keep personal charges/attacks/insinuations away from other posters, they can make any claim they want, but they'll be left without a leg to stand on for anybody with the smallest amount of critical thinking skills. Anyway, looking forward to your next post~

Now, can you answer me, if the Yankees end up with 8 on the night (or 9, if Gibson was the pitcher of record for that run), Can Gibson still be awarded the win, must he be awarded the win, or is he not allowed to be awarded the win by the official scorer?

Drag them! Drag the Yankees!

Now, do they have a choice if the Yankees end up with 7 or fewer runs? I thought if you were a starting pitcher and the other team didn't score at least as many runs as your team while you were the pitcher of record for those runs, you got the win even if you only went 5 and gave up any amount of runs.

Who?

But Kepler drags him every at bat???

Big oof. Still 3 run lead and we're just warming up on offense, but we could've done without that gem.

You don't know that. You might accidentally kick the dresser and break your big toe!

Which of us is supposed to have put on the jinx? Or was it a team effort?

Why?

I agree with everything except "regardless of how this game turns out". A loss after this comeback and exclamation point would be horribly deflating.

I feel attacked.

This lineup can make old posts look so dated in just an hour or so. Goodbye, Mr. German, you will be missed~

You can have 2 for that one.
