Kyle: What's up skip? The ball is really flying tonight.

Paul: Pitch like your job depends on it.

Kyle: OK.

Paul: No. Really.

We should have them on defense. Let's hope that makes the difference

Gosh, how many runs does Gibby need for a 'safe' lead?  I'm thinking somewhere around 2 touchdowns.

Perhaps more importantly, how many touchdowns does the bullpen need for a "safe" lead?

These Mauer Chevy people have as much personality as Joe does

Didn't we score at least 10 runs for him in a couple of his victories this year?  The guy gets tons of run support.

+the 2 pt conversions, +1. Three score game.

This time I leave to let the dog out and another run scores...I need to quit leaving the room I guess.

 

It takes a little while to figure these things out. 

 

A little trial and error

Geez this game won't be over until 11 central

True, a pattern must be firmly established before coming to a reasonable conclusion. This probably explains why Belisle and Breslow are still on the roster.

 

The only way we're winning is if we score 8 + runs. That's not happening. 

 

Good thing you stuck the + in.

 

Nice hedge

 

Gamel owns us too

 

Luckily Rosario and Vargas own them.

I was hoping it would be done by 10 mountain time.

The only time I see this many pitches right down Broadway is during the Home run Derby. Pitching exhibition this is not.

I was hoping it would be done by 10 mountain time.

At this point, I'm hoping that it's done by first pitch tomorrow.

 

Would the 26 man rule apply in that situation?

Dang, can't watch here at "work."  But this game must be a fun-fest.  I think Kennys maybe read some posts from yesterday about his lack of aggressiveness on the basepaths- and now he's running amok.

 

Something that big, in amok-mode, I surely don't want to get in the way of.  Maybe nobody is brave enough to try to tag him.

 

New pitching strategy...QUIT THROWING IT RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE!

Alternate strategy - convince the other team to use our strategy.

Haha Paul is coming out to chew some a**

Absolutely pathetic.

I come in late and walk into all this fretting.

 

Check on Gameday, and find that we're up.

 

11-5, even!

 

Nothing to worry about. At least, unless Gib-... oh, right, he is pitching.

 

Well, even if he comes out, the bullp-... oh, wait.

 

We're doomed.

I think they already are.

I'm actually watching 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and following the game on gameday. It's too much a classic movie to miss.

Gibson is still just one start away from causing some fans to be subjected to the seldom-invoked 26 beer rule.

By classic you mean Gene Wilder not Johnny Depp I hope.

Not much hope for those of us in the Eastern zone, eh?

I see we are ahead.

 

Something went right as i weren't paying attention...

Final line prediction for Kyle: 7 IP, 15 H, 8 ER, 1 BB, 5 K.

By classic you mean Gene Wilder not Johnny Depp I hope.

You obviously don't know your classics. Check the titles on each of those respective movies then get back to me.

I like Johnny Depp in most of his movies.

 

Ok, all of them.  Except one.

Cripe, 12 runs scored, and Gibby might not even make it through 5.  

 

What a....  I don't, know, I've run out of words.

I think he could rack up that fireworks display in six.

That explains the game.

 

We're in a world of pure imagination...

 

Please keep watchimg the movie...

 

Dupity do.

Never has a 6-run lead seemed so unsafe!  Question: are we sticking with Gibby here at least until Hughes gets back?  If Turley pitches lights out next time around do the Twins sack the Gibber?  With Santiago pitching so poorly, are the Twins just stuck with this guy?  Molitor seemed ticked off at him on his last mound visit.
