If Nunez starts about 12 more games in a row he will qualify for league leader in batting average. That's something. Because there's always something.

You made that up.

No, they're all archived from days bygone. Chief has been witness to many of them ... a quick google search provides that evidence ... the stories are all over the place.

 

It doesn't get realer than that.

[David HK]

Ahhh, checking in from Saturday AM remedial grammar class... Think I'll get back to the reading comprehension, since I can't fathom Twins baseball comprehension.

The next time somebody tells me Joe Mauer never has any RBI's because he never gets any chances, or spouts some dribble about his BA w RISP, I'm gonna play a tape of that AB.  

 

"Take two and flip one to left with 2 strikes" never won a pennant and never will.

[Deduno Abides]

My guess is that Dave St Peter will have these T's for sale at Target Field the next home stand. All about the brand!

Along with a new food item: the St. Peter Wiener.

Has anyone been to Giordano's yet? Does it live up to the hype?

 

 

It was good... I'm not a Chicago Pizza expert so I can't say it's the best but I took a bite and was encouraged enough to take another bite and I kept going. 

[Pardon My Dinger]

Baseball players, all on their own, have made tattoos and mohawks passé and uncool.

Busted.

 

But I gotta ask...of all the "personal" stories I've told on game threads, THAT's the one I get busted on??

 

You can use my "True Story" Brackets if you'd like.

Nice play by Cabrera.  That's a double against most LF.  Seems this game, corner defense has mattered.

Where are you again?

I'd even go as far as say.

 

The Improved White Sox defense may have something to do with the improved White Sox ERA.

For real?

Not sure if I remember correctly, but if I do, I had one of their pizzas (it was definitely someone's) at a Kiosk at Ohare one time while I was waiting for a connecting flight and I liked it so much I sent one to my dad.  They kept it chilled and flew it out to him (deliveries like that were normal, part of their service, many people have pizzas delivered).  Cost me quite a bit but he was appreciative since he's originally from Chicago.

oh boy.  this is not looking good.

[jimmer]

Nice play by Joe.  If he doesn't cut that off, guy likely scores.  BTW, someone needs PFP.

Hard to believe defense affects pitching. Even something barely important like corner defense :-)

I mailed a Live Lobster from Maine to a friend in Grand Forks once.

 

Hindsight is 20/20 and the Manila envelope was a bad idea.

Hey, everyone's favorite Game Thread Game!!!  Sarcasm or Optimism!

 

I vote Sarcasm.

I prefer opticasm.

[jimmer]

I thought that pitchers were the best athletes on the field.  I swear I've heard that before.

[Danchat]

He came up limping after running to first base.

 

On the bench is: Dozier, Centeno, and Mastroianni.

 

Danny Santana is playing 2B (I don't think he's ever played there before).

[Deduno Abides]

If this is Nolasco's bad game, he's still doing pretty well overall.

[jimmer]

forgot how to run to first and his body lost muscle memory? :-)

[jimmer]

 

If this is Nolasco's bad game, he's still doing pretty well overall.

If he was a rookie, he would have been pulled innings ago.  good thing he has such a strong history of quality pitching for the Twins.

[jimmer]

here comes the hook. 

 

edit: Oooooorrrrr not.

He pulled something running to 1st. 

 

Left on the Bench... Mastro... Centeno and Dozier but Dozier didn't start because something was nagging him. 

[alarp33]

Good thing Sano is in RF so that 3b defense remains top notch

[Riverbrian]

(Sigh)

[HitInAPinch]

now THAT's the Nolasco we remember

[jimmer]

did I hear that right?  did activity just now start in the Twins bullpen?
