I'm just glad Fryer isn't DHing.

 

/ because he isn't a good hitter

If Fryer is ever DHing, the Twins have some roster issues.

I hate falling behind in a slugfest and then suddenly a pitchers' duel breaks out.

 

Mr. Ashbury is correct.

I must be mistaken. I thought I heard Bert say "Jared Burton is warming."

It looks like Burton is warming up. Let's hope the Twins put up a insurance few runs this inning.

Below the Mendoza line.

I predict Arcia strikes out swinging.

The official scorer took two runs away from the Twins.

Mr. Ashbury is correct.

 

I was thinking about how to circle back to that, without jinxing anything. Now the jinx is on you.

Zuke is getting roughed up today.

 

I was just thinking I don't know if I could be a pro catcher for all of the hits they take (plus I have no skills).

 

I know Zuke has been on fire, but I wonder if Gardy needs to give him more time off from behind the plate.

Let's hope he and this gentleman never meet:

It may have happened already, in our distant past.

 

Predating the time when humans became humans, and weapons were adapted into tools, this digital re-creation show a less intelligent, huskless, but more mobile prehistoric ancestor of the watermelon being felled by a violent, early pre-human with a neolithic mallet historians believe was originally used to hunt and smash worms.

I wonder what the tenor is at White Sox Interactive this weekend?

I was wondering why soooo many empty stations:o

If Burton is indeed scheduled to pitch in the ninth. I hope it is Cliff Burton, the bassist of Metallica before he was killed in a bus accident in 1986.

 

I like his chances of closing it out better than Jered's.

 

PS - I will also take Richard Burton, he seemingly closed down a lot of bars and late night drunken fights with Liz Taylor.

I was just thinking I don't know if I could be a pro catcher for all of the hits they take (plus I have no skills).

 

That's why catchers put on what's called The Tools of Skilled Ignorance.

Go Burton!

Burton...

 

Oh my gosh! hold me!

Bert described Burton's arsenal as including a "hard changeup". What next, the straight curve?

Jared Burton for the save, Chris Parmelee in as a defensive replacement. Nothing more needs to be said.

Gardenhire is showing more faith in Burton than the Pope shows in God. Let's hope somebody is right.

Is Perk sick?

Is Perk sick?

 

He went three days in a row, didn't he? I think he just needed a day off. I heard Bert say something about it but in typical fashion, I ignore whatever Bert says.

Is Perk sick?

Last I heard was a stiff/sore back.

One more to Go!!!!

i have to admit missing reading their game threads. I also miss the 45 seconds I was a member there.

Not recently. Been rather ordinary, in fact.
