    I have a few chickens myself. Real ones. They run on pasture, don't get any hormones or antibiotics in their diet and are like Miller Lite; taste great!   Also have about 6 acres of woods. I was worki

    No sort of about it.   Has all the earmarks of carefully constructed Chiefish joke. Now all i gotta do is look up pullet and adze to get it...

  • Tonight is exactly why Santana needs to be a Twin in '18.     Starts out the night without his best stuff, uses up a lot of pitches early, gives up a couple runs and a cheap homer, then finishes 6 inn

Sano may or may not have been going top speed. But he was out by 30-40 feet. That's at least 5 seconds at his speed. He had no chance to score barring a poor throw.

And Polanco was due up. He's the hottest Twins hitter not named Eddie right now.

It was a terrible decision. Not much more discussion needed.

The last time a player hit for the cycle with an ITPHR was in 7/3/1943, Leon Culberson (Red Sox). I think Chief's grandson was at that game.

Buxton loafs it into second. Fine him!

 

It's OK. He can score from second on a squeeze.

George of the Rosa in to pitch.

Next up will be the Man of La Mancha...

Who could forget Leon?

Yes!

Problem with Buxton getting a cycle is, he might have to stop at first when he'd normally go to second.

Flipping between this game and Seahawks/Vikings preseason. Wild Friday night

A lead.

 

I can't complain about that.

Polanco looks like he's recovered from his doldrums.

Sano made a poor turn at third, probably costing him a step.

It's okay to stop at first if the ball doesn't leave the infield...

 

Nice stolen base by Polanco, by the way.

I had no quarrel with how he took third base. But then that lack of hustle going home. Luckily he touched the plate in time.

Unless he's carl Lewis, I don't think that one step mattered ;)

What do ducks have to do with bunting?

I believe Colon was on the mound.

When will we see his son promoted to the majors? Semi-Colon, I believe is the name.

Just prolonging the agony fun.

Professional pitcher.

This! 100%

Blair walsh is now on the Seahawks? Talk about irony!

He's like a young Spider-Man, trying to save his powers for when they are needed.

Sano's "misstep" was him realizing that he had no chance. I'm pretty sure he was thinking, "Oh shucks" in Spanish.
