  1. When Game Thread cultural literacy begins to require Jane Austen on a regular basis I'm going to have to bow out as gracefully as I can. Monty Python and Three Stooges references are about all I'm good for. / To save anyone the trouble: "about???"
  2. Alternatively, T. J. House << whichever pitchers Jordan has faced. / six of one, one-twenty-fourth of a gross of the other...
  3. "Pardon me, Roy, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?"
  4. I'd want my evaluators to tell me he's laying off the sliders etc in the dirt. If so, I give a promotion some thought. If not, major league pitchers will eat him up a la Hicks. Shoot, AAA pitchers were eating him up in March. Stats by themselves won't tell me what I need to know. And few love their stats more than I.
  5. Nobody added to AA to replace the pitcher moved to AAA?
  6. I like that. A psychopathic neurotic.
  7. Oh yeah. Happy Birthday, old timer. (Stringer, not ChiTown.)
  8. Anyone have more detailed information on the nature of the plays Sano had the errors on? My extremely SSS observation was he did rather well on difficult charge-and throw plays in front of him, but he could bollix up more routine looking plays to the second-base side.
  9. Ladies and Gentlemen, your Last Place Minnesota Twins! Possessors of the sixth longest current losing streak in the majors. / kind of a Fun With Numbers thing, y'know, cf. yesterday
  10. Now you're starting to get the spirit of hockey, SS.
  11. No opposite field walks? He needs to huddle with Bruno about fixing that.
  12. I think Gardy sometimes brought his closer into a tie game in the ninth, when at home, too. What would be more radical would be a tie game on the road. Or in the eighth inning to face the heart of the lineup and leave the bottom of the order to the mopup crew. Or to "stretch out" a couple of the best closers to go two innings, eighth and ninth, when called for. Or to have them come in in the middle of an inning to squelch a rally. But, I certainly was satisfied with the use yesterday.
  13. Ladies and Gentlemen, your Third Place Minnesota Twins! Possessors of the third longest current winning streak in the majors.
  14. Pelfrey is the starting pitcher. A four-hour game ensues. As Expected.
  15. Next game tell her to liven up instead. / I can swear from experience that this technique. Will. Not. Work.
  16. Uhhh, yeah. That's my takeaway.
  17. Thanks, Chief, for making an 11-inning game seem even longer! / in a good way, in a good way
  18. You're gonna hate the punch line worse, I'm guessing. If it's the one that starts, a guy goes to his doctor and says "Doc, ya gotta help me."
  19. Paging Halsey! We have a WINNAH!
  20. Approves: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51SF2C4G2NL.jpg Yes, I got the Major League reference. It's the 11th inning and I'm getting extra punchy.
  21. Curse you, Inspector Baserunner Dim! You are too clever for us naughty people.
  22. A walk. Who saw that coming and cleaned up with a sports book?
