we got room for both, what with ALL THE TIME OFF ROCCO GIVES THESE GUYS!!1!

 

Jorge: "Francisco, you have the odd days... I'll take the even and weekends. When there's a special function like a sidewalk sale or a boat show..."

[MNT1996]

1 run lead? I bet Rocco is going to turn to his favorite shutdown man Kohl Stewart 

[BD57]

 

Gibson got frustrated with close pithes not being called, but at this point in his career, you can't let that get to you.  His emotions got the best of him and he unraveled.  Shower up kid.

 

Cruuuuuuuuuuz!

 

Gibson (a) nibbles too much to get close calls; and ( doesn't throw enough strikes to get close calls.

[Mike Sixel]

I'm gonna go with Thorpe not being on the roster to start next year. Along with Schoop, Cron, and Gibson.

Not sure why I liked this ode to Pink

[notoriousgod71]

Thorpe again. F this.

[bighat]

Scoreless inning here, bullpen. Give the offense a bit of breathing room.

[insagt1]

I think the diving outfielder got in front of the guy trying to catch Sano's hit and distracted him just enough. A gift that we will gladly take.

 

NOW....we need that shutdown inning. Can anybody do It? The game is moving along smartly at glacial speed. good to be ahead again.

[VATwinsFan]

You can't be serious.

 

Thorpe?????

[FlauerPauer]

WHY IS THORPE STILL OUT THERE, ROCC!!!????

[USAFChief]

Thorpe again.

Rocco must figure "he's due."

[twinsnorth49]

 

I thought it was great. call out the umpire.

Agreed, but Montgomery was hardly great. 

[gocgo]

Thorpe for one more...ballsy choice.

[insagt1]
