Theoretically Chief is right because Porcino is dead.

I bought Mrs Chief a tee shirt with "Proud Nudist" printed on the front.

 

She hasn't worn it yet.

Pride goeth before a fall, or something like that.

Well, lookee here...Molitor going all 21st century statheady, bringing in his closer in a "fireman" role to squelch a rally in the 7th.

 

 

 

...

 

 

 

 

Wait, what?

Never mind.

I knew it, but I went against my better judgement.

I like to talk about a pitcher's "broomstick," how it must fall towards home plate for a pitcher to have command. That last batter Dean's broomstick was falling right, left, right left, right. That's why his pitches were drifting wide. You don't see that much left/right fall off with Porcello, which is why he has such good command of the zone. 

 

The good news is, Pat Dean can get better command if he learns to center his balance a little better when he's getting tired. Then he might be able to finish seven innings.

OK, exhale.

Seventh Inning Rally Squelcher By Committee, this year.

Dick & Bert just getting to Neil Ramirez.  3rd team in one year.  Jepsen replacement?  

It worked out this time, but Russian Roulette is never a good idea.

An 0-2 count, also known as "The Buxton". 

An 0-2 count, also known as "The Buxton". 

That's a little snarky and unfair. Sometimes he works the count to 0-3.

Oh, come on Dick. ERA is not a number that can be added.

Carnac:  Alien vs Predator

 

Ed:  blah blah

 

Carnac:  blah blah

 

Ed:  blah blah blah ...  Alien.  Versus.  Predator.

 

//pm me for the punch line.//

 

Oh, come on Dick. ERA is not a number that can be added.

True, but all Twins fans know it can be multiplied.

And speaking of snark, I will withdraw the negative comments on Pat Dean, at least until his next start. Effective outing today by the rookie, all in all.

Technical difficulties are forcing me to go outside and play. See ya!

Happy Fathers Day to me.  What did I miss?

Happy Fathers Day to me.  What did I miss?

The "when is Father's Day" memo?

Oh sweet.  My wife thought it was today.  Should I tell her it's not?

Oh yeah, that's soooooooo effective, lady.

 

Happy Fathers Day to me.  What did I miss?

I hate to be the one to tell you. Today's not Fathers Day. You're 51 weeks late.

 

Oh sweet.  My wife thought it was today.  Should I tell her it's not?

I'd wait till tomorrow.

Happy Fathers Day to me.  What did I miss?

Well, one thing you didn't miss yet is Father's Day.

 

/ yeesh, as slow as my internet feed seems to be, maybe it IS Father's Day by now

Lawyer gets pulled over for failure to stop.  Thinks he's smarter than this hick cop, starts gettin' all lawyerly.

 

"I slowed down, that's just like stopping," said the lawyer.

 

"License and registration please," said the cop.
 
"See...you don't know the legal difference.  If you can show me the difference between slowing down and stopping, I'll let you give me a ticket."

 

So the cop pulls out his nightstick and starts beating the crap out of the lawyer.  After a while he asks "Should I slow down, or should I stop?"

When three runs just ain't enough...

 

And Mollie leaves him in lol
