Dozier really wanted three tonight.  He swung the bat like I swing the driver playing golf on a short and very straight par 4 with a high wind to my back, no trees or obstacles for miles around and 6 Coors Light in my belly...

 

[TwinsCD]

Given our success with Johan and Ervin, are there any other pitching Santanas that can come help us?

Bat throwing is always a good sign.  Great hitters do that now and then.

Tony O used to deal out Louisville Souvenirs fairly regularly.

Coors original and you would have had it.

You just might have found a solution to the Danny Santana problem.

When we have the guts to drown him in the lake while we are fishing.

Oh wait Tonkin just got a strikeout.

I ain't gettin nowhere's near him with a knife in his hands, I can tell you that.

Yes, there are certain parts of this area where everything you see either is, was or will be a Wawa

Don't make me puke

That didn't take long.  I heard on another thread that the idea that his fastball is straight as an arrow is just an illusion that fools batters into hitting massive home runs,

He does have a nice arm

Fun fact: Ervin Santana's birth name was Johan Santana but he changed it as he was coming up through the minors because there was another pitcher named Johan Santana.

Gimenez probably should have caught that baseball... or at least tried to catch that baseball. 

 

I assume he isn't used to catching stuff. 

 

Maybe he put down two fingers instead of one and Sano missed the sign.

He'll probably miss. Have you watched him pitch?

[USAFChief]

winnah.

 

I had that cue'd up for like 15 minutes.   I'd make some smart$$$$ remark about Tonkin, but tonight was just too much fun.

 

Great job everyone.  Top notch game thread.
