  1. Gibbys a good guy.... I'm sure he was just frustrated at the time. I remember at work once trying to get my mouse to move and it just sat there. About 2 minutes of nothing... I grabbed a different mouse same thing... Then I tried a third... Same thing. It was frustrating so I picked up my computer screen and threw it into a wall. My boss came in and asked what happened and I explained about the mouses and I called him a cheap ass for not having proper working equipment in the building. Turns out he(My Boss) had taped every mouse in the building... It was April 1st... We all laughed afterwards as I wrote a check for the damages.
  2. It's alright... Sometimes it helps to get the piano of your back
  3. Uff Da.. A pitch away from digging out of it and a wild pitch.
  4. Look at you... And all that fancy 1990's modern talk.
  5. Seriously... Kyle Gibson.... Foe-CUSS.
  6. Where has the real Gibby been? He disappeared around the time the site updated. I hope he didn't get injured in the change over.
  7. C'mon Gibby... Focus!!!
  8. I can see how they get confused... The wife is in the 9th month. She is minivan size.
  9. I love Bad Jokes... I think the uncomfortable silence after a bad joke is flat out funny. I've laughed harder at big swings and misses then I have for truly clever stuff.
  10. The Border Song... "Holy Moses... I have been deceived".
  11. I want to type "Aaaaeeeyyy" but I wasn't sure how to spell it. So let's go with "Exactamundo" Of course... I may have spelled that wrong as well.
  12. Gibson has struck out Bourn Twice... Given him a Bourn Ultimatum!!! Oh my God!!! Was that a bad joke. Bordering on Horrible!!!
  13. I don't know but he may have homered his double total.
  14. I'm not really sure... What to do with this 5 run cushion. I suppose I should put it in the bank but I'm tempted to buy a lake home.
  15. Arcia likes hitting off Bauer
  16. If I saw him... I'd tell him... To his face... Don't hurt me
  17. Good start... For Santana
  18. It'll be a comfortable... Willard Scott approves Night at the ball park. Light Winds with the exception of that Hurricane Force wind tunnel that flys thru the open area in right field Indians SP: Trevor Bauer CF Bourn SS Aviles LF Brantley 1B Santana 2B Kipnis C Gomes 3B Chisenhall DH Walters RF Dickinson Twins SP: Kyle Gibson CF Santana 2B Dozier 1B Mauer DH Vargas RF Arcia 3B Plouffe C Suzuki SS Escobar LF Schafer Things to Think About: 1. Indians -- Louis CK has a great bit on Indians. "And they weren’t even Indians... We called them that by accident and we still call them that. We knew in a month that it wasn’t Indians but we just don’t give a &*%$... We never correct it... We came here. They’re like... “Hi”... And we’re like... “Hey, you’re Indians, right?”... And they’re like, “No”... “No... this is India... right?”... “No it’s not... It’s a totally other place.” “You’re not Indians?”... “No”... “Ahh, you’re Indians”... “You’re Indians for hundreds of years after.” 2. Sellers? -- We can all understand the Twins being sellers but... The Indians? They were 5 games out of a wild card spot... One routine decent sized hot streak and they were in it. Yet... They became sellers at the trade deadline. Justin Masterson was really struggling but he was valuable if he ever stopped struggling and the Indians moved him for a prospect. They followed by moving Asdrubal Cabrera to the Nationals for Zach Walters who is the DH Tonight. The Indians were not going to extend this pair... I understand this... but... moving them with playoff baseball still a possibility kinda gives you the impression that the tail is wagging the dog. The return for this pair of players just wasn't that great and I would say that the Twins seemingly got as much... if not more for Willingham and Fuld. 3. Trevor Bauer -- I already did a thing on Trevor Bauer... He makes another start in Target Field tonight. The Twins were able to beat him at Target Field July 23rd. Trevor threw 6 innings and gave up 3 runs while striking out 7. Oswaldo Arcia hit a home run off Mr. Bauer and Danny Santana collected 3 hits. Hope that pair can do something similar again. I also want to say... Bauer vs. Mauer... Does Mauer have the power to make Bauer feel sour. Mauer has no need to cower he gets paid by the hour. That Poem took me 25 seconds to write. 4. Brian Dozier -- Over the past 30 games... Brian Dozier is hitting .208... 21 hits in 101 at-bats. 11 Extra Base Hits... 9 doubles and two home runs. That's more extra base hits then singles. This is normally a good thing unless you consider that his hit total is very low during this stretch and it suggests that he's loading up... maybe a little too much... I'm a Brian Dozier fan... I love his combo of Speed and Power and I really love his defense... However... This slump has been going on for too long... It's time that Brian broke out of it. Maybe mix in some singles from time to time. He is batting in the #2 Hole. 5. Minivans -- My wife and I know a couple who are about to have a baby... Probably before August is up... It's Baby #1 for them. They were talking about how excited they were and I was excited for them but I was laughing at them at the same time. They really have no idea how life is going to change and I told them that with a smile on my face. They told me that they are ready... They have made all the preparations... For Instance... They showed the Minivan that they just bought... I said... you bought a Minivan?... How Big... exactly... Is this Baby?
  19. If only he could have done this... 3 more times.
  20. Ron: it's my job!!! Carol: To Manage the Club!!! Terry is doing your job right now!!! Ron: I have to talk to the press after the game!!! Carol: What Press??? There hasn't been any press since 2010. Ron: There is press at every game. Carol: Marney Gellner and a microphone doesn't count.
  21. Carol: Why aren't you home yet. Ron: The game is still going Dear. Carol: and you have to do what exactly? Ron: I'm still the Manager of this team. Carol: No you're not... The ump threw you out... Terry is the manager right now... I'll ask again... Why are you not on your way home? You always come home at midnight. Every Night... Are you saying its midnight again. Are you gonna wait in your office by yourself and still come home at midnight. Ron: that's not true... I was home at 10PM last night Carol: it was a day game!!!
  22. I think... In his office... Game on TV... Sound Muted... He's on the phone with his wife... And she's wondering why he isn't on his way home right now!!!

  24. Deduno has more control right now.
