OT: the uniforms that the dbacks are sporting this year will look like this soon:

those are actually better than the D Backs new uniforms.  Those things are horrendous.

[LaBombo]

 

"The best of the vapors"? So, turning Japanese tracks 1-12?

 

His fans would rightfully insist that he had several other good songs,  but I've wondered if we might ever wake to the UK  Guardian headline 'American Die:   Angry McLean fans rip singer limb from limb when he fails to perform hit'.

Outstanding picture of Ralph Garr!

 

(Maybe he could teach BD how to hit oppo.)

Cmon, it's taking him much longer to strike out now.

I know that was at least somewhat sarcastic, but there is some truth behind it, too.  Even in that at-bat, he didn't look completely hopeless like he did earlier in the year.

[Lee-The-Twins-Fan]

Park is 3 for 3? Did he finally wake up?

How many drugs were involved in this?

[jimmer]

Buxton is pretty much toast against any quality curveball.

[HitInAPinch]

Full-swing bunt by Mauer.  Now THAT's what Buxton needs to learn    

[Squirrel]

 

Yes, you.

[Aggies7]

Hold on to your hats, it's jepsen time!

How many drugs were involved in this?

It was Bill Veeck, Mike's dad. He was high on life. He also had a wooden leg, so he didn't have to worry about getting hurt while sliding. IIRC, the shorts were replaced by long pants before the end of the season.

Ploufe showing dozier what he should of done. Swinging at 1st pitch 90 mph fastball over the plate. Dozier looked at 2. Then hit into a force out on a slider down and in.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Usually mentioning the White Sox makes any thread NSFW, but posting photos of White Sox players half naked takes it to a whole new level.

[stringer bell]

I'm holding my breath. It does help that Jep is facing three guys with a batting average under .200.

[LaBombo]

Hats,   butts,    whatever's    handy...

Twins have 15 hits on the night?  Breakthrough!!

Dude.  It was the 70s.  Asking how many drugs is just superfluous.

Yeh, they didn't last too long, but they sure were sweet while they did!

It's not the quantity

 

It's the quality. 

 

 

[Aggies7]

How embarrassing to lose to the twins.

[David HK]

Wow--- Chx dinnah.

 

Isn't this kind of how the season was supposed to look when we started?

[Riverbrian]

 

Yes, you.

 

LOL

 

In the context of our discussion. 

 

I'm the guy in the suit... You are the Furry thing.

I think it was the holding your breath that did it.

[HitInAPinch]

TWINS WIN

TWINS WIN

TWINS WIN

 

Ok, that's enough

[LaBombo]

Twins hang on to lead,   six more weeks of Jepsen as closer...

Heck with it.  They're too few and far between.  I'm chowing down.

 

 

[Aggies7]

It's not the quantity

 

It's the quality.

 

[Mauerpower]

Glad I washed my lucky Twins hat today.

[stringer bell]

Winnah! First MLB win for Taylor Rogers, who was very impressive against the Rays. I do have to say that I haven't seen a worse lineup against the Twins this year.
