I'd say save some for the rest of the series but they're probably going to score at least 12 in each game, right?

[Brock Beauchamp]

I understand the ump wants to keep the game moving, but he seems to have a pretty expansive zone to me...

It’s Gibson vs the Tigers.

 

He’s doing us all a favor so shut up already.

0-0 after 6 in Tampa

Gibson is buying dinner tonight.

I can sense Kyle calming down...

You think that until the Twins rough up Boyd for 18 runs and then score two against the vaunted Tigers AAA team on a random Sunday.

0-0 after 6 in Tampa

Baldelli needs to ask if he can wire 3 runs to Tampa Bay.

[ashbury]

Dick: Gibson has retired the last 5 men.

Ashbury: If you count a double play as retiring two.

Tampa’s stadium doesn’t have internet access.

Gibson decided to go solo on the poor souls, eh?

[ashbury]

maybe they can trade him then

Re-sign and then trade? Interesting strategy.

So, believe it or not, I was hiking with some friends in the desert and came upon a sort of, Middle Eastern looking bottle. "What the hey," I though, and gave it a rub.

 

Sure enough, out popped a genie. My friends and I just stood there, mouths open, in shock. 

 

"Well," said the genie. "Get the stoned look off your face. I will grant you one of three things, you can have infinite money, infinately great looks, or infinate wisdom."

 

I thought for only a second, and said "I'll take the infinate wisdom."

 

Boom, just like that, I had it.

 

"What's it like?" asked one of my friends.

 

Without hesitation, I replied, "I should have taken the money."

I was right there with you, right up until the "friends" part, then, things became unbelievable.

Yeah, that info was sooo last post.

Well, there goes the quality start.

[ashbury]

Cron.

 

About time.

Is this one of your cron-ic puns?

I hope you hurt your fingers typing that.

I can sense Kyle calming down...

Who knew you were Haley Joel Osment?

[VATwinsFan]

Something about former Twins players named Hicks.

[VATwinsFan]

Well, there goes the quality start.

Was that ever really an issue?

[IndyTwinsFan]

Well, there goes the quality start.

Without looking it up, does anyone remember the last time Gibby had a so-called "quality" start?

 

Me, neither.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Is there room for one more?

He's dead, but still.8A0F768C-522D-4190-AB7C-8143180A52C0.jpeg

If he was batting from the left side it would be Woody Allen in Bananas?

[VivaBomboRivera!]

This game is a joke.  Leaving it on and going to get some work done in the kitchen.  Figure we'll be in the top of the 6th by the time I put a pie in the oven.

Re-sign and then trade? Interesting strategy.

You might even say bold, Cotton.

In nature, life eats life. The strong prey upon the weak and the infirm. So it is with the Twins feasting upon a struggling Tigers team. Like water buffalo crossing an African stream, some will be consumed so that the herd can live. Do not avert your eyes, Twins fans. The savagery of nature is cyclical. There will be future Tigers, and there will be more Twins. For now, the buffet is in our favor. 

I didn't realize that Glen Perkins might be related to Marlin.

Good Gibson, bad Gibson...doesn't much matter when your team scores 12 runs in 4 innings. This is the Twins offense from the first half. Making the starters almost an afterthought. Just throw strikes and let batters get themselves out. 

[VATwinsFan]

194 pitches so far.

Me, neither.

It was last year in Boston! It was right before the trade deadline when he should've been traded!!!!!
