I'm not sure why Ober was allowed to come out for the fourth inning. He was clearly gassed after 3 innings, and sure enough gave up a run before he could get the third out.

That sounds exquisite.  What bourbon are you enjoying this fine evening?

Just a finger or two of Woodford. Maybe a splash of water with it.

Trying to inspire the game thread crowd.

Who are the announcers tonight?

Yes.

 

Sorry, I'm drinking wine instead of Scotch.  I'm a little off my game.

Simmons' hands are so soft!

He uses Jergens or some Aveda product.

You don't appreciate soft hands until you've experienced the opposite.

Talking about middle infielders here, just to be clear.

"nobody, not even the rain, has such soft hands [as simmons]"

if i remember my ee cummings.

Baldelli just pulled his thumb and released the gas.

My car goes further when it is gassed, so phrase confuses me....

I'm only a Cedar Rapids Kernel (ranked 7/14). Just trying to get ahead in the rankings and inspire positive behavior on Twins Daily!

I know only two:

• "Each of us is the center of the universe.  So is everyone else."  - e.e. cummings
• "HELP!  THE CAPS LOCK ON MY TYPEWRITER IS BROKEN!"  -- E. E. CUMMINGS

It's amazing how good the games seem when you play a team more around your level

Have the Sox game on now

[RpR]

If a pitcher walks four batters in a row, is that a grand slam?
