Unfortunately, I left the site after I wrote it, and thus the edit no longer works. Try it sometime.

 

Why would you EVER leave this site?

Gibson, if he has the ground ball machine working tonight, gives the Twins a good chance.

 

The Pelfrey i 've seen recently looks like another candidate to beat NY.

I've won that many many times.

 

It's awesome. I've got trophy's.

Please elaborate. What are these contests?

 

I am ignorant and pursue enlightenment...

I wish I had an answer to that because I'm tired of answering that question.

 

Yogi Berra

 

I didn't mean to. I swear.

 

I should get a warning point for that!

No, as I would have too many and would be banned ;)

Changed jobs so I will be here more often.....sorry :)

Yogi Berra

 

Yogi was not only a great player, and awesome at stealing picnic baskets, he had a lot of insightful quotes.  This board has taught me a lot.

This is NOT a good start!!!!!

Grumble...

 

3-0 and still in the bottom of the first.

 

Come on bats, you got Gibson's back, right?

Anyone notice Gibson pitching inside?  Not me.

 

Bremer described that as "up and in".  It was actually a strike, which for the Twins qualifies as pitching inside.

0-2 count HR... how many times has that happened this season?

Knucklehead Contests

 

5 people lined up... Along with A Russian... Canadian and Peruvian judge each with a scorecard from 1.0 to 9.9.

 

The 5 people then Attempt things with varying degrees of difficulty. Such as calling bikers a bunch of pansies... Trying convince a girl she's wrong... Trying to get through airport security after insisting that you have to have the large size toothpaste.

 

0-2 count....are you #%&king kidding me!!

Why a fastball on 0-2? I mean, I get that for some pitchers that might make sense, but not for someone like Gibson.

Well, THAT clarifies THAT, thanks.

 

Gibson finally gets ahead of a hitter and somehow manages to get the worst possible outcome.......good grief!

 

Gibson being a consistently good pitcher the beginning of the season was one of the things I was most excited about for the long term good of the team.  Needless to say, I have not been as excited about his play as of late.

When you got the trophy(s?), what put ya over the top? Or would that be revealing a trade secret? (Ya shouldn't have to... you can say "I did X" without explaining how...)

According to a little study at baseball-reference.com, it's only the 2nd 0-2 HR off of Twin's pitching all season.  The other was Victor Martinez off of Hughes.

Suzuki thought that McCann thought he wouldn't get a fastball 0-2. But McCann thought that Suzuki thought that that he thought he wouldn't get a fastball so decided to look for a fastball.

Someone should have told the umps not to order the chicken.

Or taking a deep breath while wondering about the city.

For some reason that does not make me feel better.
