    About what they were: a bunch of singles. Not rockets, not bleeders.

    Just got home from my first trip to the Oregon State Fair. Today is our wedding anniversary and the friend with whom my wife formerly went to the fair has moved away, leaving her without a Fair companion. So, even though I'm not really a Fair guy (but I'm not an unfair guy either!), I bit the bullet, exchanged our soccer tickets for tonight, and agreed to trek down to Salem for the Fair. As we were going through the gates (paying our Fair fare?), it occurred to me that if we were entering the Fairground we must be leaving Foulground (not to be confused with the Fowlground inside the Fairground, where they show the poultry), though the base line must have been wiped away. Anyway, I'm back in Foulground now and will manage to catch the first couple of innings before heading out to dinner. The Oregon Fair didn't seem as exciting as the Minnesota State Fair we attended on our honeymoon 45 years ago, but there are a lot of things that aren't as exciting as they were 45 years ago (including me!), so I hesitate to offer that as a valid comparative review. I hope you can all bring home a win tonight! I'll check in if I'm home in time.

    Or maybe the squirrel chewed a hole in his glove.

    Lucky for Polanco. That could have been three straight batters. What's the record for errors in an inning or errors on consecutive batters? Any of you research types have a ready answer?

    That's our all-star shortstop...

    Does Cruz have to roll home?
  7. PDX Twin
    He's got great stuff today, but is having trouble locating it.
  8. PDX Twin
    Lots of swinging strikes for Berrios today, for a change. I'm not too worried about him for today.
  9. PDX Twin
    That would be bad for a team seeking the HR record.
  10. PDX Twin
    Until the manager "cease" fit to cease his tenure.

    You know: Biggest city is Checago. Capital is Sprengfield.

    CJ's a young man now, but someday he'll be an old Cron.
  13. PDX Twin
    Jake working on getting the pitch count up. (Maybe the run count, too.)
  14. PDX Twin
    Lots of dribbling. Are you sure this is baseball?
  15. PDX Twin
    You mean the one that's tired from pitching four innings in a tight game last night?
  16. PDX Twin
    If the delivery gets low enough he could be a tiller.
  17. PDX Twin
    Never liked Carneal as much as Ray Scott, whom he replaced.

    FWIW, it looks like all games are free tonight on MLB.TV, so if you live outside of the Twins and White Sox exclusion regions you can watch without a subscription.

    Trade him to the Mayo Clinic for whatever they can get.

    I wonder how much of the misspelling is due to auto-correct. I always type on my computer, so don't have that problem so much. (Though once about 25 years ago MS Word auto-corrected the salutation of a letter from "Dear Jacques" to "Dear Jackass." So glad that I proofread and manually uncorrected!)

    I'm all for winning, but there are costs to this strategy. If I remember correctly, he doesn't need to be added to the 40-man this winter, so he would displace someone who would be lost to the organization. Granted, the lost player would be a lot less valuable than Graterol, but Graterol would not be lost if not added this fall. I think that the FO would have to be pretty confident that he would make a big contribution to take the risk.

    Thorpe should throw with his Aussie accent. That will completely throw off their timing.
  23. PDX Twin
    My bad. I thought that the broadcasters said that the tying run was in the on-deck circle, but either they were wrong (is that possible?) or I mis-heard (likely).

    Save situation...

    And don't forget the setback for Kluber. Sometimes the injury gods smile, even on the Twins.
