nice.  3 balls to the guy batting .111

[DaveW]

Walking a guy hitting .111 to face a guy who has 5 RBI against you tonight. Brilliant, just ****ing brilliant.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Greg Bird.

 

4 pitch walk.

 

Greg Bird.

[Gibby]

Fien needs to get low down dirty mean.

Greg Bird.

well, in his defense he is the word.

[Riverbrian]

 

Mr. River, you can do it all. Can't you photoshop, too?

 

Nope... I have people who do that for me. 

[D. Hocking]

 

Nope... If Bark was here... He'd have Bark Art up already for a visual. 

 

and somehow he would work in the Olson Twins.  Dahli Lama -- nibbler -- Olson Twins --  I think that would have been the picture that would end up shutting this site down.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Give him a break. He's a 22 year old 5th round pick so he's only had 9 at bats.

[Jham]

95 on the black...  Come on Casey on the mound!

I don't believe that he meant to do that,  Now we can only pray that we get the third out,

Innings Remaining - Good Relievers = ?

Is it wrong I'm terrified of an 0-2 count?

"If I was a betting man, I'd bet against my home team," said a sad Pete Rose.

[Twins7]

Bird's a good prospect... Kid can mash. Played with him in high school. Kevin Gausman of the orioles was on that team too.

[DaveW]

Wow. I have no idea how that worked, but I will take it! Let's score 3-4 now in the top of the inning!

[mickeymental]

who expected THAT?!?!

[Jham]

And some emotion!  Ata boy!  Need to play with swag.  We need the old Fien back!

[Gibby]

The Fienster!

[Aggies7]

Well knock me over with a feather.

[SwainZag]

Dat bullpen

[glunn]

We are still in this, and the Yankees have used 5 of their relievers.

 

I just pray that there will be no further attempted steals.

[DiscGolfer]

 

what was Gardys record his first year managing?

94-67 but he took over after the team was on the upswing.  Molly is taking over after years of way worse baseball than this.  Could you at least give the guy 1 year to see what he can do.  If Gardy were still managing this team you'd be looking up who the Vikes could pick up to replace Loadholt instead of watching relevant Twins baseball.

[Ultima Ratio]

Much hinges on the outcome of this game:  Demoralizing or rejuvenating, what will it be?

[mikeee]

mauer will get a hit.

[mikeee]

 

mauer will get a hit.

YOU SOUND LIKE SOMEONE WHO IS INTO THE VODKA!!!!

Nice

[David HK]

It's just... What the... This f'n bullpen. All f'n year. And nothing, nothing, nothing done about it. How many times have the usual suspects just come on and surrendered? That's right, just keep trottin' them out there, maybe it'll work sometime.

And of course, just as I post that, fien miraculously gets out of the mess he created. Ok, both he and Poof made me eat words today. Good. I'd rather win than be right.

The Nibbler... a super villain that didn't quite make it on Batman.

It's been bothering me the whole game and i finally figured out why it sounded so familiar!

 

CMOT Dibbler...

 

Bringing back to the beginning with the hotdog vender!

 

Now i can give my full attention to the game again...

[Gibby]

Not all of us go, high drama, when anther pro team scores a run on us.

[glunn]

Let's try not to squabble like Yankee fans.
