KKKKyle!

And this is why you toss a few million to a guy like Gibson in arbitration. It may not pan out but if it does, you look damned smart.

I'm not sure that I'll ever be able to watch a Gibson start comfortably no matter how good he becomes. I don't want to be that way, it's just a sign of how jaded I've become where it comes to good Gibson runs.

C'mon Gibby, keep battling. This team needs it.

87 pitches to get 13 outs, and Ryan Pressly is warming. I know times have changed, but for the love of god can we get 6+ from a starter?

We said it last year.  More/better use of the 4 seam for Gibson made him a different pitcher. 

gameday says two mound visits this inning, but Gibson is still in there?

Hitters are better, and pitchers -- all pitchers -- are needing to throw more pitches.

 

Also, I wish Molitor would let a guy pitch past 100 pitches every now and then

Just brutal

0-2

 

Please.

 

Nothing to hit.

 

Please.

Heck, or even let a starter get TO 100 pitches. When was the last time one got there?

Atta boy

He's done, right? Close to a good start....close.

Haw haw-  took a little time to listen during that Smoak at bat- 

 

Twins broadcast:  "It's a little jam shot that's going to fall in front of Kepler...  Just a little jam shot, and it's a tie game."

 

So, just for fun, I went to the BJ's cast, and rewound a bit:

"There's a line drive to the gap!  Tie game!"

 

Heh.....

He's done, right? Close to a good start....close.

I'd let him go through the bottom of the order, but I doubt that happens, because pitch count is above 90

Jam shot, all the way

So I think I told you all a couple days ago that my good buddy, who I'd meet at my regular neighborhood bar for a beer most afternoons after work, passed away. Sad.

 

Anywho, I took his wife to the Tucson Daily Star offices today, our local newspaper. She needed a ride there to place my buddy's obit in the paper. She's a nice enough lady, but monumentally, ah...frugal. To say the least. 

 

We got there, and ambled up to the booth. I helped her along, as she's getting up there in age. She asked the young lady behind the window how much they charge for an obituary. "It's a dollar a word, ma'am," she replied.

 

Well, the new widow nearly fainted. "A dollar a word??" She fumed. "That's robbery! Very well, make it "Sal died."

 

The young lady was pretty amused, I could tell, but she managed to keep the smile off her face, if not the twinkle from her eye. "Well, I'm sorry, but there's also a five word minimum," she told us.

 

My friend Sal's wife nearly fainted. "But, but that will be FIVE dollars!" 

 

"Yes ma'am, I'm afraid so."

 

Sal's wife was about to turn and walk away, but I guess she felt some sense of obligation to her late husband.

 

"Fine," she said, "Make it 'Sal died, Volvo for sale.'"

Just tuned in. Who are the announcers today?

Gibson appears to be out and the BP will have to fill 4 more innings

Love watching "Good Gibby".  

Man grossman nailed that one

2 rockets and nothing to show for it

JFC

2 rockets and nothing to show for it

yep

Would it be annoying if every time Gross Man made an out or butchered a play, someone posted "call up Wade, please"?

 

Asking for a friend.

So, Smalley's one. Is that Morneau? Kinda sounds like Morneau.

9 straight twins retired in order. Yuck

I'm getting that feeling again...what is the opposite of tingly? That's the feeling I'm getting.

No, but hold your fire on the scorching line drives
