What I love about baseball is that it never goes like it is supposed to. 

 

I've seen Aces face each other and the final score was 10-8. I've seen two starters with 6 plus ERA square off in a 2-1 final. 

 

I've seen the Twins bench Sano and score 20 runs. 

 

I've seen a ground ball go through Buckner's legs... I've seen Bartman... I've seen Randy Johnson Kill a Bird...  I've seen a ball player hit the ball for the first time in his life and then run directly to third because he had never hit the ball before and wasn't sure what direction.  (He was safe at third but unfortunately out at first.)

 

 

I love baseball. 

lol is that last bit on youtube somewhere? I would love to see that

We all did.  We were just waiting to see how long it'd take you to notice that the video is on Youtube.

I am hoping for a split given the starters that are going to be going this weakened.

 

I think maybe that's what you meant...

[Jerr]

BRILLIANT and bears repeating:

 

4. Today’s Joe M Conversation
Mauer: Here comes Joe… Hey Joe, we’ve been waiting for you.

Montana: I am hungry

McCarthy: What kind of Sandwiches did you bring?

Maddon: I brought… Ta Da… Tuna Fish

Mauer: Awesome… with those bits of celery? Chopped Eggs?

Maddon: Yep… with some lemon juice and relish mixed in.

Montana: Tuna… Fish? Why does Tuna get Fish after it?

McCarthy: Because it is fish… Pretty simple to explain.

 

 

OHHHHH OOOHHHHH...another 2 ....wierd

WHOAAAAA it took me TWO times to get the whole brilliant Joe Conversation in:

 

 

Mauer: Awesome… with those bits of celery? Chopped Eggs?

Maddon: Yep… with some lemon juice and relish mixed in.

Montana: Tuna… Fish? Why does Tuna get Fish after it?

McCarthy: Because it is fish… Pretty simple to explain.

Montana: OK… I was hoping for a Steak Cow sandwich or a Chicken Bird
sandwich… Am I saying those right?

 

Really 2 times       and weird and now strange......................................

Sorry for the late lineups. Was on the road all day today and this was the first chance I had. And now I will miss the game. Go Twins!

[Pardon My Dinger]

I just now found out that Byron's middle name is Keiron. How neat is that?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Should we consult the Twoth Fairy?

While we're at it, will Cleveland consult the O God of Hangovers?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

6.4 players and 504.9 games.

Thanks for catching that.

Or 64 deciplayers and 50,490 centigames.

 

Not two put 2 fine a point on it...

[yarnivek1972]

There is a rule that a player is supposed to make reasonable effort to avoid HBP.

[yarnivek1972]

Just like that. Niiiiiiice.

[70charger]

Love these red jerseys.

 

Fight me, bro.

[yarnivek1972]

Just saw on the crawl that Victor Martinez was placed on DL with irregular heartbeat.

Yikes. That sounds like it could be something serious. Hate to see a player hit the DL that way.

Obviously, not much thought involved.

I've been diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat. I was quite surprised and so were a lot of people. Mainly because most people assumed I didn't even have a heart...

Hmm. Most people assume I have a heart. Only my wife knows otherwise.

[70charger]

Oh, and um, now you guys I guess.

You are an unsung hero for posting the lineups, and please know that this diligence is appreciated.

 

Here is a song just for you --

 

[yarnivek1972]

A play like that illustrates the absurdity of having an on deck circle in this day and age. Every stadium now has a cage probably ten feet from the dugout.

Sooooo, did they find one???? I try NOT to assume even the obvious...............or what I assume is.....

I had an irregular heartbeat once. But after I left the strip club it straightened right out... the heartbeat I mean.

[carlito_b]

How is Escobar not in the lineup tonight?

[Blake]

Seriously, though, I have an irregular heartbeat and and will be seeing a cardiologist pretty soon.

 

No big deal. coughcough,gaaaack, thud...

 

Although, all kidding aside, it potentially could be something which is why it is probably wise Mr. Martinez is on the DL.

Well, if that is the definition of an irregular heartbeat...minus the strip club, I'm sure i have had a bunch....three kids      , World Series for the Twins (way too many to count) and i could, but won't go many more pages  

 

Strip club???

All my best and in no way was I making light of your heartbeat, which from what I have seen here is STRONG!!!!

No worries. I think it's funny, myself, and will probably laugh even if it did turn out to be serious. I've had health issues all my life and this is just one more thing for me to deal with and then continue on my merry way.
