What? The Orioles got De Aza?

I wonder for whom.

Aw, crap.

And ... and how long do you put up with Vargas batting against lefties? I'm typing this rather than watching, because I knew what was 84% likely to happen.

 

That OPS of .634 against lefties could definitely use some help.

That at-bat by Mauer bore a striking resemblance to a hit w/ a runner in scoring position.

Yeah, but it's hard to be sure with so little to compare it to.

Oops. Big oops. Hmm. I meant ARCIA!!! against lefties ... problem ...

Much like the last KC game, I am trying to come up with a scenario where the Twins can pull out a victory not involving a pitcher on the verge of being DFAed. Can't see it.

What? The Orioles got De Aza?

 

For two High-A pitchers.  http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/08/orioles-acquire-alejandro-de-aza.html

Yeah, looked it up after I typed that.

Being in Chicago, I kinda sorta maybe pay attention just a little to stuff the Sox do; and not quite as much to what the Cubs do.

I thought Vargas was pretty weak, but Arcia's a lot worse at .579.

Yeah, looked it up after I typed that.

I look up lots of stuff after I type.  That's why people catch me editing so often.

Aw, crap.

Well, they're only A ball pitchers, but that's kinda harsh, isn't it?

Mea culpa.

Yeah, were you checking the thesaurus last night to replace nipple with teat?

Carnac: Sauerkraut.

Ed: Mmmmm, sauerkraut.  Nothing quite as good on a brat.

Carnac: Ew.  May a deranged waiter spit in your creme brulee.

Ed: You just don't know what good eatin' is.

Carnac: <gives him a look> I didn't think we were going to bring up that trip to... uh, never mind.

Ed: You remain as inscrutable as you are wise, your Magnificence.

Carnac: <gives him a look> Not goin' there neither, chum.

Ed: Well.

Carnac: Well.

Ed: Perhaps we should proceed with opening the envelope.

Carnac: Perhaps.

Ed: <pause> And...

Carnac: <puffs into the edge of the envelope> What did Hogan call Colonel Klink behind his back?

Yeah, were you checking the thesaurus last night to replace nipple with teat?

I was mining comedy gold with that one.  Don't question genius.

Um, I thought I was just questioning.

Just like this.

So can Plouffe hit a dinger when we're not down 9-0?

I hope that I have saved enough likes to make it through the rest of this game.

Zach Britton is coming in to pitch the ninth.

 

It is time for the Twins to Revolutionary War Britton or at least 1812 his Ass.

 

On this my patriotism stands.

 Don't question, genius.

Punctuation is so critical to understanding.

Ninth inning.  Kinda need some rally caps here.

Hard to know, there are so few data points to consider.

So can Plouffe hit a dinger when we're not down 9-0?

Yup, I've seen him do it.

 

He got nr 9999 when we were up 19-6.

Is that a new talk show?

Ya know, it could be.

 

If only i could find a good host.  or hostess.

 

Any recommendations?

Because RiverBritain will be watching.

Well, crap. Take that you Mauer haters!

Punc, tuation is so critical to understanding.

FTFY, punc.
