I did not want to watch this game tonight!  I have to do game thread intro tomorrow and didn't want to get influenced by negative vibes...we're up by 7 so who cares...Tomorrows opener involves artichokes, gas grills, sirloin steak and graham crackers.  

 

And he probably drives a van.

 

Yup, and not just any van... paneling, shag carpet, and (not pictured) big floor-standing home speakers mounted across the rear ceiling.

 

 

I'm forgetting something... oh, just the most important thing:

Hey, I'm three cells down from you, man! Having any luck raising bail?

Row 1. Really feeling like I’m watching the game from Stillwater.

Not enough for you? But wait, there's more!

Is it weird that I would drive the **** out of that van?

Yes?

And Cypris Young won over 500 games in the big leagues!

What is that saying? Pitch fast, Cy Young, and have a beautiful cor... body of work?

Cause like a picture, she was laying there,
moonlight dancing off her hair.
She woke up and took me by the hand.
She's gonna love me in my Chevy Van,
and that's alright with me.

Royals got 5 runs off Hand and are leading in the 9th

Hand gave up a granny to blow the lead in the 9th for Cleveland. Wonderful development and chance to pick up a game.

I don't care if KC wins tonight, it is just nice to see them put up runs on a team not named "Twins."

 

And Dick just said there is no update on Kepler and nothing from Phil Miller on Twitter, anyone hear anything?

Good add. And for the really high rollers... the lava lamp. Wonder how many RV inverters were sold to dudes who used them to power those...

His trade value just nosedived!!!!1!

You mean "Twins trade target" Brad Hand?

Losing Kepler for a significant period of time, on top of Buxton and Marwin, would be pretty devastating. That also includes IL trips for Garver, Cruz, and Sano.

 

I was under the impression that only the Yankees have to deal with injuries.

You can never tell a pitcher's real worth until they've gone a couple times through the hellacious AL Central division.

Also wonder how many burned to the ground because they fell asleep with them on

I enjoyed reading this off Hand comment.

I heard Astudillo was optioned. *ducking*

Mrs Chief and I went out to dinner earlier this evening, and wouldn't you know it, we sorta got all ****** off at each other over something or other. I don't even remember what. I usually just forget about stuff like that, but Mrs Chief...well, Mrs Chief isn't so quick to let it drop. She just kept harping at me all the way home, and I got distracted.

 

Sure enough, I look in the mirror and there are the flashing lights. Dang it! So I pull over, and the officer eventually ambles up to my window.

 

"Sir," he says, "do you know why I pulled you over?"

 

"Why no, officer. I have no idea."

 

At which point, Mrs Chief decides to pipe up. "Of course you do," she says. "You were speeding."

 

"Ah, honey, I don't think I was speeding."

 

"Yes you were. 17 MPH over the limit."

 

"Ah, dear...," I said, looking for a way out. "Are you sure?" Because I WAS NOT SPEEDING!"

 

"STOP IT!" she screamed. "STOP LYING! You were SPEEDING."

Well, I was pretty angry at this point, I admit. And it must have been obvious to the officer

 

"Ma'am," he said, "does he get like this often?"

 

"No, not often," she said, staring right into my face. "Only when he's been drinking."

Good add. And for the really high rollers... the lava lamp. Wonder how many RV inverters were sold to dudes who used them to power those...

And a strobe light and a disco ball.

Here we go.

 

Again.

Another pitching collapse

Quality start, gone in the blink of an eye.

Bad gibby

Was just gonna compliment Gibson on a good start, but not gonna get that from me tonight. Didn't make good pitches down the stretch and made the game closer than it should be. Shame

Not enough ground balls and weak contact.

 

And Ian "Shutdown" Kennedy gets the save. 

 

I'm kind of okay they kept him out there through seven. Still in line for a win, not a big deal to add a few more runs, but you can't truly expect the bullpen to do significantly better.

Send him out for the 8th?

 

//ducks.
