That is one lucky horse in the DirectTV ad.

 

  I know, she makes the horse look ugly. Of course it might just be an ugly horse.

I had to watch it 10 times before I noticed the horse

[Tibs]

I'd like to see more effort to block that. Maybe he got mixed up on pitches

[Riverbrian]

 

. There are a million ways to go with this, but I am trying to keep my warning points below Brian's posting numbers!

 

Hey Now!!!

 

Innocent Cannibalism is all it was!!!

Has Zuke been letting a lot of balls get past him lately, or is it just me?

I haven't seen your defensive stats

[Platoon]

Best Chain Pizza?

 

Papa Murphy's and it ain't even close

my 90 yr old dad tripped over the curb in front of the local PaPa Murphy's, and did a face plant on their sidewalk. To their credit, they offered him a large pie with all the toppings! Be declined, it seems he had lost his appetite!

Pitch around Cain.  Don't go there!  Please walk him.

[Riverbrian]

Would Doc be Ok with Babybels?

Cedar Rapids Kernels ‏@CRKernels  2m2 minutes ago
Mat Batts has retired the last 12 he has faced, allowing just 2 hits so far. Kernels lead 3-0 after 5 innings.

 

Go Mat!

 

Two guys that are probably too good for their current level are both rolling again tonight (Batts and Duffey).

Normally tripping and falling is hilarious... The only time it's not is with 90 year olds and pregnant ladies.

Which is less likely, Kelvin Herrera throws behind a batter by accident, or Morales goes the whole game with his shirt tucked in?

I'm sure A is in the realm of possibility, so I vote B.

Starting after he was drafted last year, it seems like Mat Batts has done nothing but perform. These two were guys I was excited for before the season started and they have started out well.

. Horse? I know what subliminal advertising is. I never believed in it! But I also never believed I would own a horse!

I'm not sure pitching around Cain and Hosmer (with a runner on base already) is the strategy to use every time, but it worked this time.

 

[Gibby]

Wow! we have a runner.

[Gibby]

 

 

  Wow! we have 2 runners.

[KirbyHawk75]

I know it is early.. But we had 4 players in our lineup that are batting less than .200. 

[Tibs]

Yay singles!

[Riverbrian]

 

  Wow! we have 2 runners.

 

That's a circus boy update

[Tibs]

 

  Wow! we have 2 runners.

 

Go on, Gibby! Keep it going!

[gocgo]

3 seeing eye grounders = our first run.  could have been a dp in there.  time for a big fly.

[Gibby]

Times like these were made for Plouffe.

[stringer bell]

I don't care how comfortable Hunter is in the #2 spot, Dozier needs out of the cleanup spot.

[gil4]

 

Yay singles!

Definitely better than what we've ben seeing.

. We have no #4 hitter, nor #1, #3, etc!

We seem to have a veritable plethora of #8 and #9 hitters, though!  Go get 'em boys!

[gocgo]

Explosion of runs coming right here.  I can feel it...oh wait, that's the bean burrito again.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Well, a tie game.

 

Just goes to show if you get enough hit singles, eventually you'll get

an album?
