Just before Escobar got injured I was going to write about my concern for his batting average, and how I looked back to see how bad he had slid, and I found that he actually has leveled off quite nicely. In April and May he hit .335 and that got us excited, then in June he his .208, which got us depressed, but since then, over the last 2 1/2 months, he has hit .272, which is virtually what he is hitting for the season, so that isn't so bad.

 

Also, I joked last night that we know Vargas can trot (home runs) but he hasn't shown that he can walk (only 4 this year), and tonight he gets an infield hit and a triple. The great, strange game of baseball.

Me

Yes.

If it's down more than 15 mins, find Brock on FB and message him.

Okay, okay ... I deserve a slap for that, even from Darth.

In all seriousness, I appreciate people pestering me on Facebook if the site is down. Sometimes I don't realize we have an issue for half an hour or better.

 

Or the easy-to-remember brock@twinsdaily.com also works, though I'm pretty good at ignoring email notifications on my phone.

I like Ricky and Kennys and Danny.

You don't just sense a disturbance in the Force when the site is down (or when a Twins starter does not have a qualified start)?

Okaaaayyyyyy. So now we need a Vargas double just for funsies.

You had problems getting on the webpage or you have memories fighting in the great war?

Yes... Bad bad memories of the great webpage.

The Vargas single, triple, and homer has Dicknbert going on and on about a cycle.  Can I vote for another home run instead?

When I sense that kind of disturbance in the Force, it usually means I better find a bathroom in the next five minutes.

I hate the cycle. Just the dumbest stat, or idea of a stat.

Okaaaayyyyyy. So now we need a Vargas double just for funsies.

It would be among the most unlikely cycles in the history of baseball.

A Cycle... Yes... Make it a Harley!!!

Can we call Kennys "Darth Vargas"?  Or maybe Deathstar?  Dude needs a nickname, beyond the obvious Vargsie.

Well ... I was >this close< to texting you ... but just thought to have some patience, thinking it was just a 'hiccup'

A Cycle... Yes... Make it a Harley!!!

Eww.  But I saw THE PRETTIEST BMW monster bike the other day parked outside my building ... omg, I really wanted to climb on and ride away.  Although I likely would have gotten two feet and would have tipped over.

Booo. I work at Polaris. Buy an Indian or a Victory.

Who is this Nolasco guy?  And why didn't the stupid Twins call him up earlier?

Well ... I was >this close

It turned out to be a pretty significant issue. The database software corrupted itself and fell over.

 

Go home, MySql. You're drunk.

Only if he starts to use a light saber when he bats:

How about Kennys the Refrigerator Vargas? That's not taken is it?

Especially pushing it.

Rickyrickyrickyrickyrickyricky!

I gotta say this, he clogs the base paths, he has a long injury history, and all he can do now is DH, but VMart is the toughest out in the AL.

That's the thing about bikes. You gotta pick them up when they fall down. They are like Drunk Women that way.

Booo. I work at Polaris. Buy an Indian or a Victory.

Seriously... As Twins Fans... Could we ever drive an Indian... Or a Victory for that matter!!!

 

 

Besides... I'm a Thief River Falls native.

 

Arctic Cat bay-bee!!!
