  1. Wow, just checking in after a morning hike. Holy crap, another diaster! I wonder whose choice it is- but they're making paddack wear this one, aren't they?
  2. Arrrgh!!! 😭😭😭 I've been trying to forget that night for decades!! *cough* Ron Davis*cough* We were watching the end of that one in the lounge of the restaurant where I worked, after closing, and when that game got blown the way it did, I DESTROYED a chair. That was expensive. 🙄
  3. I saw the posts from Audra elsewhere. Just despicable. Gotta be from some online gambling pinhead. If only there were a way to track them down, take 'em out back, and bring some wrath of God stuff upon them.,
  4. Yikes! Just look at that BP pitch chart! We're gonna burn out Jonah Bride at this rate! No Jax lately, and Columbe's line is remarkably efficient; 1 pitch one outing, 2 pitches the other. Why he can't go an inning or even an inning plus with the soft-serve he deals, I cannot fathom. I'm kind of surprised we didn't run out "Tora Tora Topa" today.
  5. Holy crap! I'm glad that for me those day games start at 2 AM, so I'm absolved from the bleeding. But what a sorry sunrise it was today! The inexorable march to .500 baseball continues. Bailey steps back when he needs to step up, against practically the worst-hitting team this side of the White Sox. The hitters shrink back to Lewis-line levels. And our new acquisition, Joey "The Pennant" Wentz manages to channel Alcala numbers. Welp, at least I don't have to hate-watch the replay, and just keep marking exams... 😝
  6. I'm sad to see him go- world of talent, but somehow, just couldn't string good outings together. Too many implosions. But hey, now we've got Joey Wentz, so that pretty much wraps up the pennant...
  7. Great wrap-up! And great work by Festa and the bats. Caught up on the mlbtv after monitoring exams this morning-- 2 notes: 1) I almost always have the oppo broadcast team on, as I'm completely underwhelmed by the Twins crew. But Texas has to be the worst in the league. No more of that. 2) I'm old enough to remember Halsey Hall recapping rundowns: Herb Carneal: "That play goes 1-3-4-1-6-2." Halsey: "And if a man answers, hang up!" 😂
  8. Like the drummer from Spinal Tap... He does have innings like that. 😂
  9. Slim Reaper still in there in the the 6th! This is a good thing.
  10. Thanks for all these updates! Especially welcome on a day when the big club went bust, nice to have some good news. Hmmm, a lotta catchers on the move up... 🤔 I'm intrigued by this Napelton fella.
  11. ** Irony alert: ** Evan Carter, who destroyed the Twins tonight, grew up in Elizabethton, TN, former home of the E-Twins, where so many Twins greats spent their early Minors days! He's probably been to that park many times!
  12. Heh... scanning around for some background while marking papers- saw the Rockies had a 3-run lead in the 9th! Heh... again... homer, 2 walks, and infield bleeder, and suddenly they're down by 1 ! Sounds awfully familiar! But hey, I wonder if the Rocks had any warm bodies we could trade for Alcala- Colorado closer only throwing about 92, Jorge could get let those runs in a lot quicker at 98!
  13. Back in my Chicago days, when Harry had that illness and guest announcers took his place, one day Bill Murray called the Mets "worse than Communism." I still nearly wet myself recalling that moment. 😂
  14. Sucks as a Twinkie fan of another certain age, and realizing how old I've gotten since the last one. The next time we're in the playoffs, somebody please come wake me up in the Home, OK?
  15. All better teams than the Minny versions. 😂
  16. True. It worked for the Deltas, why not the Twinks! Plus, it would make that stupid helmet more relevant.
  17. "TO-PA! TO-PA! TO-PA!" Oops, sorry, got mixed up with "Tora! Tora! Tora!"
  18. Watching the game on repeat. I sure like a couple of those young Jays- but please, somebody tell me that Addison Barger's nickname is "Sonny!" It's old-school, but it's just begging to be done! (Go ahead and google... 😇)
  19. Well, Brooks, maybe don't take a nap in the sun with a guy on first after your slow-arse dive was unsuccessful. Get back up and get on your bag. There was no one to throw to at 3rd, with Correa racing over to cover.
  20. Jeepers, Wallner. That wasn't exactly a can of corn, but it was at least a can of beets. Should have been caught, and we still have the lead.
