I think Rocco gets a suspension for not vacating the field after getting ejected.

Probably, but i'm still in disbelief of suspension. I think that whole argument could have happened when he was charged for a mound visit, and if he lost it then, he could actually make use of the visit, and perhaps not be ejected, or end Sanchez' night prematurely.

So I won't do the "Did you read the book about JFK and Abe Lincoln? Mind-blowing!" joke.

I feel ya.  The last time I told my Squeaky Fromme joke, it missed the mark.

That's immaterial...

We’re going to have new hitting coaches next year, right? Right?

We have hitting coaches?

I tuned in late and just assumed the game hasn't started yet.

So, I'm tryna decide. Would it be more surprising if the Twins DO get no hitted, or don't?

 

And a reverent hush settles over the game thread, as Justin Verlander puts down the Twins in order, yet again

I love when the game thread turns into open mic at Funny Bone!

Keeps me more entertained than the game

Lately it's been watch the game or paint dry. So it's nice to have a third option.

A Chevy person?

Celestino is in center now?

I do not order chicken fingers because I think it’s cruel to cut off their little fingers and serve them as food. Give me your meat instead, little chicken. 

Sure, your hands may now be clean, but the part where you touched the soap dispenser remains dirty.

Astros having a terrible game at the plate, with only 2 runs to show for it and a cumulative 15 LOB after only 5 innings.  Can't anyone hit with men on base?

Well, we just fired our hitting coach last year and got a new one. I don't know if firing them annually is going to work, though what we're doing now sure isn't either.

If the Twins can get anybody on base we'll find out.

I had to visit the throne room . . . a very moving experience.

Did SNL ever do a Chevy as Ford - Squeaky Fromme sketch?

I am guessing Buckwheat getting shot the same way Reagan did would not fly now.

My friend said, “You know what I like? Home runs and triple plays.” I was like, “Dude, you gotta give me time to guess.”

Yay.

Correa!

Modern day baseball is just unwatchable.
