Seriously... I think he will be in Rochester real soon. I mean real soon. It's gotta be killing the kid.

Look at it this way... Real bad hitters hit around .180. No one hits .057... 2 hits in 35 at bats... So to raise that average to .180... He will have to go 7 for 15. 7 for 15 will be a nice hot streak. May win us a game or two. He's comin.

I would jump on Doumits back and say "I'm riding a furry tractor".

Alright gather round... Watch this... I can turn my eyelids inside out. I'm a zombie... I'm a zombie.

Team... It really wasn't that cold. Snepp had it much worse with an ice storm and he showed to play.

Runner on third... One out... K... Is the game you all have been watching?

I was out yelling at some young ballplayers... Heard Gladden say that KC escaped the bases loaded with no one out. Tell me that's not true.

I tried this in my garage. The closest I got was "neither a burro nor a mmmmmmm". There were also a couple of unforeseen problems. 1. They produce a lot of data. It takes a lot of people to comb thru it. 2. They eat a lot of food. It's cost prohibitive when you are dealing infinite. 3. They go to the bathroom and the bathroom is pretty much right where they are. 4. They are stronger than they look. One of them ripped my cat in two.

lol... In consideration of the price you pay for real estate in Beverly Hills. Every structure should come with secretaries sunning themselves.

Boooo!!! Hisssss!!! Raspberry blown in your direction.

Would anyone have walked Gordon intentionally? I think I would have. Escobar is a tough turn but you take the lefty Gordon out of play.

you can pretty much cut and paste that post and use it every day can't you.

Ice storms in April!!! Just when you think your out... It pulls you back in.

Your entire post was fantastic. Sorry I had to delete a bunch of it. *this* game. That's my point. Past stats should mean nothing to a manager if a guy is getting it done in *this* game. Jeez... He's been pitching great right now but he didn't pitch well against the Reds in 2012. It has nothing to do with him tonight. I understand set up man and Closer but as a manager. If I got a guy pitching like Correia was. No way I'm gonna assume that my set up guy is better *tonight*. Especially when he is under pitch count.

OK but only if I'm assured by everybody... That if the Royals would have scored 3 in the 7th instead of the 8th. They wouldn't have tossed out the argument that Correia has only gone 7 innings 3 times. Correia is a pitch to contact guy who doesn't strike anyone out. How can you leave a mediocre pitcher out there in 1-0 game when you have Roenicke or Duensing or Burton in the pen.

We should prepare ourselves because it won't be the last time that Gardy stays with someone too long. There will also be moments where Gardy pulls someone to quick. There will also be moments where it all works out great. Tampa Bay Fans should also prepare themselves for moments where Joe Maddon stays with a pitcher too long. Same thing for Seattle Fans... Boston Fans... Dodger Fans and Ft. Myers Miracle Fans. This kinda stuff happens a lot... Too often to get worked up over every time it happens. As for the argument that has been made that Kevin Correia isn't good enough to pitch the 8th(average pitcher, low strikeout, pitch to contact, Terrible stats from years past, whatever phrase was used for the sentiment)... Can I ask... Why simply focus on the 8th??? Wouldn't the same argument hold true for the 7th??? I notice no one is complaining about Correia coming out to pitch the 7th. It's hard to believe that hindsight isn't a major component of this discussion. Bottom line... He cruised thru 7... 5 hits... 84 Pitches. Why would any manager assume that he has someone pitching better in the bullpen at that point? Past stats or performance has nothing to do with what is happening on the day in question. If he's dealing... Let him deal. If you have to pull him because you don't trust him because of past stats. Cut him right now because you wouldn't trust him in the 1st or 4th inning either. Trust apparently isn't a problem between Gardy and Correia right now... It does seem to be the issue of some posters on TD. (please don't take that personally anyone). I would question any manager who is cocky enough to take out a pitcher who is under pitch count and cruising and still assume he has someone better in the pen. If that's the case... Our Bullpen Rocks. We should have no problems with the pen from here on out because we have better arms in pen than guys who are throwing a 5 hitter thru 7. Gardy should have had someone warmed. The Twins hitters should have laid off the low slider from Santana and Correia should have started the 8th.

That's a lot of middle names... Stranger still... her middle names are verbs and a pronoun.

Does Mastro go?

Escobar has more homers than Josh Hamilton

still haven't pushed the button... Have u?

Your Wife's name is Swmbo? I don't remember that one in the baby name book.

Listen here lady... Two TV's would ruin couple time.

Something like a key fob. You can only push the button with it in your pocket. Keyless remote control.

My wife took the remote from me and put on "The Voice". I said "Hey" She said "What's the score"? I have no argument.
