Well of course he didn't have a chance, but I also think it was a contact play, which means it's not his decision to make, really.

 

Which is why the contact play is perhaps the dumbest play in all of sports.

That's what I told my wife.

 

I know it's a game thread and all, but this is not something to kid about.

Not sure if I have one... playing softball tonight with someone doing a chuck Knoblauch impression I'm not a tall guy, and had to back into the runners path and leap to catch the ball. He didn't get out of the way, and I was the defenseless receiver...

 

Had a bit of a headache afterwards... Weird thing was about 15 minutes later, my vision would black out when I could feel my heart beat... Minus the back pain, feeling better now and seem normal.

 

I'm not an expert... But... Watch for any dizziness or if you throw up in the hallway unintentionally. You should see a doctor to be sure.

 

If you see ellipses any where near my posts... You are doing fine.

If you blacked out at all you should go to ER or urgent care.

 

Yep. Nature's other way of tellling you to slow down.

Atta kid, Perk!

In other news, Perkins is kind of a good pitcher.

Can I get a rundown on how many runs Escobar cost the Twins by being at shortstop tonight?

Too bad Gibson can't finish what he starts.

Nice win and a fun game thread.

 

diehard, please don't stubbornly refuse to go to the ER if you feel more symptoms.

The Indians would have scored -4 runs if Florimon was at short.

will do... feeling fine now... No other symptoms... just weird after the hit.

Too bad Gibson can't finish what he starts.

 

Can't help but notice that Mauer went 0fer

So it's safe now to go to sleep with a one run lead.

 

(Hope you're okay though)

 

And my apologies... i bet i could have offered more inanity. (my strong suit, if i have one)

 

Just to see if folk were paying attention... What is never the answer?

 

Thanks for a very entertainin' thread!

 

(and a good game, to boot!)

The Rubber Band Theory is Mine... I want Full Credit!!!

I've had 2 diagnosed concussions, and the doctor didn't do ****e. He just made sure I didn't get back on the field until I could remember my name.

Can't help but notice that Mauer went 0fer

 

and he continues to lay off the first pitch, too.

The Rubber Band Theory is Mine... I want Full Credit!!!

 

Save some credit for the geniosity of the managering tonight.

 

(and the guy who went yard)

The starting pitching!

Hand me down my walkin' cane, hand me down my hat

Hurry now and don't be late 'cause we ain't got time to chat

You and me, we're goin' out to catch the latest sounds

Guaranteed to blow your mind so high, you won't come down, no

 

 

Hey, you all prepare yourself for the Rubberband Man

You've never heard a sound like the Rubberband Man

You're bound to lose control when the Rubberband starts to jam

And the Twins are back at .500.

 

I was worried we might not be able to say that again after the Dodgers series.

I've had 2 diagnosed concussions, and the doctor didn't do ****e. He just made sure I didn't get back on the field until I could remember my name.

 

...and where my car was parked.

You get the save.

16 years old... I was at a nearby state park with a bunch of friends.

 

I was walking around talking to friends... My girlfriend was sitting in the passenger seat of my car waiting to leave and it looked like she was sleeping. The driver side window was open and I decided to run full speed and arrow myself through the open window to surprise her.

 

I missed... Head first into the frame of the car window. Blood pouring down my face like I was Carrie at the prom... and I couldn't remember her name wen she was asking me if I was alright.

When's the last time the Twins won a game and didn't draw more walks than their opponent?

I always had you pegged as a smooth operator.

Awesome... I was hoping it was the Spinners!!!

 

RB -- Rubber Band -- RB

In retrospect, your parents could have chosen a wiser name than Huh.

Wow. Just wow. You thought you were going to impress her with your daring and instead you went for the sympathy. Life is funny. Did she break up with then or the next day? Or is she now Mrs. RB?

I'm going to watch Monuments Men. I read that it was terrible. I hope not.

 

You guys have a great night.
