football? during baseball season? oughta be a law ...

Yeah, no kidding ... if you want Vikings game thread talk, here's a good spot for it.

That last Joe Mauer DP reminded me of when I was having a career year in softball 30 years ago, batting near .500, then went zero-for-the-rest-of-the-season the last eight games, including a 6-4-3 DP in my last at-bat. Left me with a bad taste in my mouth to this day.

You haven't played since?

Wonder how Brian is enjoying the game.

Hung 'em up. Umpired for 15 years though.

Yes.

 

(I'm sorry, that was a "how" question)

 

Probably by watching it. With his eyes. But probably also with associated refreshments and company, even if they be strangers, or at least strange)

Who is this Brian whereof you speak?

The Corn-Rowed One is giving teammates and fans their moneys worth lately. Liked his comments after his last win. Pleasant voice, easy manner.

He back.

Half or full? Or Quarter, i suppose?

 

If i had a nickle...

Uh oh ... cmon ESan ... you can get this final out!

 

 

(I'm sorry, that was a "how" question)

 

Um ... it was just a wondering ... no question involved.

Santana has done his job today.  Now we need to pray for the pen to do OK.  Maybe this is a good low pressure situation to bring in Perkins.

Greenway runs a long interception back for a touchdown. Big flotilla surrounds him, cornerback beside him saying, "Just a little farther buddy, you can make it all the way..." That run back took about 20 seconds. Greenway's top speed: 12mph.

Who? What? You're speaking Greek to me with this.

I think this is to what ChiTown is referring.

 

5. Tiger Stadium on Sunday -- I will be at Comerica on Sunday to watch the game. I'll be in South Bend on Saturday to watch a Notre Dame Football game so I was asking folks around here about the best route from South Bend to Detroit. One guy replied... Drive East until it smells like Crap and then North Until you step in it.

And i didn't note the photo with friday's game thread intro. Did he really hit his hand for the sake of the thread?

I wouldn't bring in Perk. To me it's not 'low leverage' enough.

Lol ... I don't think so ... but you never know ...

Would they bring ESan back for the 8th? Or is someone warming up?

WOOOHOOO!!! BUX'S FIRST HR! AND BRIAN SAW IT LIVE!

Buxton's first home run!  Sweet.

Buxton hit a fly ball a little farther!

I wouldn't bring in Perk. To me it's not 'low leverage' enough.

Buxton decreases the leverage.

 

Is it now?

Damn NFL football (injuries, injuries, injuries) cost me the sight of Buxton's first home run? Shame on me.

Santana has 104 pitches.

 

Buxton decreases the leverage.

Is it now?

I wouldn't bring Perk in at all in this game. Let's get out of Detroit and re-evaluate then. We have others in the pen that can be used and should be used.

Ya know, they might replay it... Perhaps during the highlights of the game? But ya never know...

That's not that big of a deal to me for him. It might be if he's pitched all season and we needed him for the post-season. But it's Tonkin. So, there it is.

Ouch. It's kinda come to that, hasn't it? Still would like him to throw a dominant inning or two before the playoffs.

I think for those that missed it because they chose football over baseball should be blocked from ever seeing it.

I don't think it's a knock on Perk. I think that's just a practical take on how to get him back up to speed.
