    Well, ya know, guys, I hate to say the obvious, but they can't win this game until they take the lead. (I suppose the same applies to us - sadly). But they haven't done that yet, so I'm not giving up yet.

    I can't like that.

    And on that bomb there was a...what? Clock?

    I meant to just check in and see what the score was...and had to run to MLB. 4-1 Minnesota after 2. Glad ya'll are having fun.

    Boy, Minneapolis seems to be a real favorite with that rain cloud.

    Yep Or if we had 101 wins - "If we had traded Santana for so-in-so we could have won the WS." But I'm getting off topic.

    Adults like that game, too? Never woulda guessed it.
  12. formerly33
    What? Iowans don't play the Minnesota way, either? I want to tell you that you play it wrong....but that's not nice. So ya'll play it right, but so do we. We play it the way it's supposed to be played. Minnesotans just know how to turn a boring game into a little more fun. That way you can use your imagination and say "Green duck!" "Red duck" "Chartreuse duck!" "Iridescent duck!" You name it.

    And the visitor will sit there scratching at their skulls, wondering how it works (not being native Minnesotans), and then all of a sudden, one of our ex-Twins will pipe up with, "Why don't we just say 'Jay Jay Blue Jay'?"

    Sad. I never thought I'd root for the WS either. Edit: Oh, it's the CUBS. Hm. Well, don't like them either.

    Somehow I can't see Joe wearing rainbow suspenders.

    I wouldn't blame you for becoming a murderer if that's the case. But I guess taking a picture is a little wiser; you might get your butt sued off because of it, but you'll stay out of jail.

    From Buehrle's MLB profile: Mark Alan Buehrle Pronunciation: BURR-lee Guess we've all been saying his name wrong. We're supposed to d-d-r-r-oll out the R-d-d-d's like we're speaking Spanish. At least it looks like that to me.
  18. formerly33
    Oh good, what a relief! We are still free to bash the front office.
  19. formerly33
    TL;DNR. Couldn't handle all that baloney about Buehrle having such a better chance of winning than May. Fell asleep when you started to repeat the process in the 1st thing to think about...couldn't get past it. Sorry.

    Todd Van Steensel hasn't been taken yet? I was thinking about it a while ago but thought I saw him on the list...I'll probably pick him up now, but if he doesn't have a page within a week, anyone else can feel free to take him. But for now, count him down as mine.

    Luke Westphal pitched the 6th inning for the Fort Myers Miracle today, sending Clearwater Threshers' Andrew Knapp, Dylan Cozens, and Aaron Brown down in order. I realized that I missed updating when he pitched on May 19th, going 1.2 innings in relief, walking 2, and striking out 1 without allowing a run, but I'm putting that down now for posterity. As of today, his ERA stands at 4.05. A month ago I mentioned that his ERA was 6.57, so this is a huge improvement since then. He seems to have come into his own in the bullpen, but I can't help but remember that he was phenomenal as a starter in his pre-signing career. While he did have some trouble making the jump into the minors, it's not like he doesn't have the stamina to go deeper into games. I'd like to see what he can do now that he's warming into the greater talent at Class A.

    A pumpkin with a wicked splitter.

    Trey Vavra was placed on the 7-day DL with a sprained left ankle, retroactive to May 27.

    That's a sad, sad video.

    I don't understand the purpose of renewing the ban after they've already come back. What's so special about the playoffs anyway? The team. Not a single player. But the fact of the matter is that we're doing really good without Ervin Santana...so should we worry too much? I don't know. But he's still going to be suspended, and that's wrong, whether it helps or hurts the team. Imagine somebody who served time in prison for whatever, got out, got their life back on track...and then had to serve "playoffs" time to remind them that they had to behave. How ridiculous would that be?!
