yes

Concur.

Duffy is a fringe major leaguer to begin with, he keeps hanging curves and he's in my beer league.

Well that escalated quickly

I have a pitching tip for Mr. Duffey. Try not to throw nothing pitches down the heart of the plate.

That was really clobbered. Yikes

You can not hope to stop Peter Bourjos, you can only hope to contain him.

He saw how much Phil Hughes was getting paid to throw meatballs and wanted to get in on that.

Well to be fair, meatballs are delicious.

Sweeping curveballs landing in the left batters box seem to give us lots of issues

Nice AB

OK Mr Buxton, it's show time.

Throw in some pasta and we'll give you Phil Hughes.

Thanks but I've had my fill....

Umm, is Duffey close to a demotion? A bit luckless on the squib hit, but Bourjas hit it a mile.

Ummm....yes?

That was close

I say send Bux every single time he gets on, every single pitch.  He'll get cut down some, but he'll learn the art of the steal.  And if anyone bunts when he's on 1st, ever, send him to the middle of the Game of Thrones Battle of the Bastards, immediately.

 

 

 

1. Cleaning out closets. As reported in other threads, I've been doing some work around my condo ... new flooring in the kitchen and entry-way ... closet 1; new carpeting in the bedrooms, closets 2 and 3. All good-sized and all being used in an efficient manner ... or so I thought. Once I started moving stuff out to accommodate the new flooring, I realized the 'out of sight, out of mind' principle had taken hold, in a not-so-efficient manner. Two and half FULL carloads to Salvation Army later, I feel better, lighter and relieved! (I have a storage locker in another part of my building I don't want to think about yet, but it will come.

 

2. Baking. I have nieces and nephews and I love to send them care packages. It keeps me busy, I love the aroma and I love more than anything the pleasure and sustenance it gives to these wonderfully deserving beautiful human beings I get to boast that I am related!

 

3. Playing tennis. Mostly, cardio tennis. I love it. Nothing more to say about that.

 

4. Channel surfing. Let's face. Some nights I'm just too tired and lazy, so I look for anything else that is just mind-numbing ... more in a 'this is really stupid but I'm watching it anyway' than in a 'man, this game is heartbreaking' mind-numbing kind of way.

 

5. Reading. From news, to politics, to pleasure ... depending on my current day and mood.

 

6. Laundry. Another past-time.

 

Umm, is Duffey close to a demotion? A bit luckless on the squib hit, but Bourjas hit it a mile.

I think if the Twins had any realistic options, they'd send Duffey down right away. Milone's already up, Pat Dean is Pat Dean, and Meyer's still hurt, I believe.

 

They should really think about bringing back May as a starter... we could really use him in the rotation.

If Nola could locate that curve, yikes

6.  Watch Mrs Chief do laundry.

Calling a double for joe

Or not

Ah Huat? Isn't he playing second base?

Calling a double for joe

One's enough for me.

Duffey throwing lots of these tonight

Just atrocious!

I've seen enough of mr. Duffey

Ouch.

Calling a double for joe

If you mean a stunt double, yes, at this point in his career it looks called for.

Gung ho for Joseph, I guess.

Well, I'm glad No. 3 in the game thread opener is approaching soon.
