  1. Texas: Almost got you, almost got you! Twins: Meep meep!
  2. Really? Last I looked, the Twins have 12 runs...
  3. About 60 miles NE of where we are.
  4. Not an aftershock. New quake. According to my wife, it was predicted there is a 50% chance of more quakes after the first one.
  5. Yeah, I'm north of you in Bakersfield. Initial report I saw was 7.1 same place as the one yesterday.
  6. Wow, got a good long shaking here in CA. Long, slow, rolling earthquake.
  7. Perez is pitching a decent game and the guys behind him are flashing some leather. Great combination.
  8. Eh, this is ordinary beginning of the season stuff just before All Star break after an extended lull.
  9. Man, does Schoop have an arm. No way Dozier turns that.
  10. Maybe say it more often?
  11. Shoot, Perez was through the inning so quick, I wonder if Texas was able to get their bullpen guy ready in time? Edit: Holy moly, Texas is sticking with Sampson? Edit 2: Why didn't the manager pull that poor kid sooner? Good grief.
  12. I tuned in just in time to listen to Laudner make this very point regarding Marwin. Heh.
  13. I've been looking forward to Laudner. Hopefully, he still has that edge he demonstrated a few years ago when he suggested the pitcher needs to go down and in again after a batter fouls one of those off his shin.
  14. I'm the one having the panic attack! You're correct, I've got it wrong. I'll ask a mod to fix, though, knowing them, they'll point and laugh. Rightfully so, I might add.
  15. Disclaimer: No warranties, implied or otherwise, are implied by this game thread. In fact, quite the opposite. Thank you for your patience and understanding. .....Somewhere over the rainbow
  16. Because we're winding down into the All Star break, I thought today would be a good day to look back. With a quick Google Search, I came up with some stuff that will allow me to escape the rigors of putting together a real game thread and, instead, dine off the work of others, while taking credit for my complete lack of inspiration. Without further ado, here goes: 1687 Isaac Newton's great work PRINCIPIA published by Royal Society in England. Outlines his laws of motion and universal gravitation. *How we got Launch angle, spin rate, WHIP and WHIP. 1904 NY Giants 18-game winning streak ends as Phillies win 6-5 in 10 innings at Huntington Park *I'm going to defer to Chief on this one. His knowledge of the event is probably contemporary, unlike mine. The Twins final stop, before taking a break, one that appears to be much needed, is Texas. It seems the Twins are doing a good job of catching teams on the upswing while they're currently running just a bit flat. Personally, I think these teams are catching fire just long enough to bother the Twins, then flame out, while the Twins will catch their breath and take the rest of the season by storm. This team has been very good so far this year and I'm sticking with they'll continue to thrill and chill fans. *no real reason, just thought this was cool. No for some random and possibly related baseball thoughts: 1. All Star Break approaches! 2. Two Twins were voted into the All Star game! 3. May various players on the Twins take a well deserved break and come back better, stronger, faster! 4. Pitching for the Twins: Martin Perez Pitching for Texas: Adrian Sampson Lineup for the Twins: 1. Max Kepler (L) RF 2. Jorge Polanco (S) SS 3. Nelson Cruz ® DH 4. Mitch Garver ® C 5. Marwin Gonzalez (S) LF 6. C.J. Cron ® 1B 7. Luis Arraez (L) 3B 8. Jonathan Schoop ® 2B 9. Byron Buxton ® CF Lineup for TX: Tabula Rasa 5. Play Ball!

  18. Crud, and I purchased some tickets to see KC at Target field in September a few days ago. Ah well, so it goes.
  19. This team is starting to worry me. Hopefully, All Star break will get this team back on track.
  20. Unfortunately for Schoop, Oakland has one of the few center fielders capable of tracking that ball down.
  21. Is there a promising rookie that might be added to the 40 man?
