  1. So Robbie saves the bacon after a "productive out" from Dozey... Doubled our lead! Yay! And, oh, what a tragedy, being blocked at "work." I am seriously impressed with that young man on the mound. Oh, please, let him have figured some things out for the long term!
  2. I am an eternal pessimist. I'm overjoyed to actually see the Twinks in this position at present, but decades of following Twinkie Ball tells me it's a fleeting thing. How fleeting, I'm not sure at this point, but I'm toying with the idea of an over/under date for the last time we see 1st place this season. Call me a Cassandra, but I'm thinking it's somewhere toward the end of this month. But hey- the most encouraging thing is that maybe, just maybe, we're seeing the debuts of the crowd that's going to do some contending in the next few years. I really want to see some of those young (and not getting any younger) BP arms up here by around AS break, as well as another starting option or 2 (Mejia and....?) I don't care if we take lumps through the dog days, but let's not do it with the likes of Belisle and Breslow and Tepesch and (insert place-holder name here). I also wanna see a long-term commitment from the dugout to give more ABs to Vargas and Kep (against LHP), and less from Ol' Joe in the 2 or 4 hole (especially against LHP).
  3. Had such a crazy day yesterday, there was no time to follow the game- and I feel really lucky about that. What a retro-2016 display that seemed to be. Today is an easier day, so I can check in and out, but....Please, pleeeeeeease, don't waste Ervin on a 2-3 inning washout! Pleeeeeeeeeease!

  5. Are you sure it's not Eden Valley instead? (Points for snarky reference).
  6. They have radar in Winona now?
  7. Ah, Phil. Well, off to class, good luck everyone.
  8. Whew, busy day today, can only catch up once in a while- but from the Gameday-- jeepers, is there any CO batter who hasn't rocked the ball off of Phil so far? Seems like everything is "sharp line drive," even the outs.
  9. Kinda like Hawk if the other team does something good?
  10. Well, it looked like Wilk threw some good pitches at times, but my God, he and the rest of that crew are going to get Buxton killed out there...
  11. Someone made this point on an earlier thread, regarding Press' last outing looking good, and Kintzler nailing down 3 games in a row- that there's nothing like seeing your bullpen mates and even starters get DFA'd or sent down to kind of light a fire under a guy...
  12. That's a tough call, to be sure. But I don't wanna see Gibson for a while yet. He needs to get his head straight, more than his mechanics, and that takes longer than a couple of starts and back in the mix. I'd even grit my teeth and let Wilks take the bullet on a 10-4 loss, just to get that turn out of the way. Or.... get TC Bear up there in a Piper Cub, and do some surreptitious cloud seeding.... OR-- hey guys, hey guys!
  13. KY has a mint flavor now?
  14. Wow.... Chicken for breakfast! Brandon, I owe you another one. I don't take back all the snarky things I said about you, especially the Wallendas thing-- I like to think they inspired you to a good performance.
  15. Yipe! Had an enormous night, just waking from my Guinness haze-- Am I still dreaming? It's a 1-0 duel in the 9th?

  19. Context, young man, context. All about the context.
  20. If I get back to the States this summer, tho, I'm taking Brandon out for a chicken dinner for that performance tonight. That was a dang good job.
  21. I'm a half-day ahead of you guys, so I already know what happened. But I just pretend to play along, so I don't sound like Nostra-dumba$$.
  22. Heh.... I had to repost this just because I made myself laugh... <cue dream sequence music> *camera cuts to Molly, in the dugout, checking his mobile. Zoom in to see he's following the TD game thread.* *cut to close up--lineup card in hand, pencil poised-- hand begins to scrawl: "W-i-l-k..." *cut back to Molly close up-- wry smile and barely perceptible chuckle* Molly (sotto voce): That oughta make their little heads explode...
