If he beats them at this, does that make Rocco a baseball god himself?

Proper ninja'd. Not just a victim of a slow connection (er, internet)

Isn't he going to be on 2nd?

Perhaps that is why i expected it?

Runner in scoring position... How do we know it is scoring position?

Gordon. As expected.

No, ninja'd 8-5.

Apparently only 8-5...

Was that really a triple play because runners don't know what Byron can do in the outfield?

On the other hand, he didn't get out. And as things went, i don't think he woulda scored from second. Unless he also stole third, too, and then tried to steal home. And i am still waiting for the answer to my intro query!!

How have we played so many more games than the other central teams?

Nicely done.

"Sometimes nothing can be a pretty cool hand."

Buxton crooks a number.

We doubled us a play too.

Mmmm. Dvorak. Can't go too far wrong. Unless no one warns ya your talking keyboards....

Alright. I'll listen then. And we can summarize the game if ya wish. Still failing at the crooking of a number. Or even scoring to even the score...

I bet Kirilloff can't do that again.

Ah yes, Chief had an odor related comment the other game...

I thought the rule was "Know math". We don't always stop to explain it... But i never was that good at spelling....

I can't tell... Is two ground into single plays better than a ground into double play?

You got good hearing. Like the dogs in aristocats?

Also don't blow your fingers off. Blow on your fingers all ya want though. Er... addendum. Goes for baseball players too. Some of them line drives are pretty hot.

Apropos of nothing*: i saw a Twins hat perched upon the head of a pa whose young daughter was covering her ears at the noisome music of the parade going by. Sorry our music was so loud... * Yeah, nothing. Sorry i'm an aproposer...

When in the course of human events. it becomes necessary for one fan base to complain vociferously enough about the lack of base running, and the dubious control we have on our opponents running game, and become so focussed that we lose ourselves in one petty detail, like if Buxton steels home on a strike 3 for a third out, does he actually have to beat the pitch home, beat the catcher controlling his bobbling of the pitch in an effort to get the tag down? or does he have to beat the other umps check swing call? Curious minds want to know these things... Anyway, it is good to take step back, appreciate the big picture, that the season is actually going okay despite a speed bump or two. And even the summer isn't too bad, and no extra terrestrials enslaving us or meteors wanting to prove the got the rite stuff. True, the world isn't perfect yet, but it ain't necessarily bad, leastwise in our isolated pockets of the internet. So pull up a tasty choice of sustenance, invite some fine friends and/or family over turn on the game and lets enjoy the wild ride that is a Twins game! Minnesota Twins Line Up: 0.
