Cave comes through. As expected.

Not the most dramatic walk-off - but will take it.

Why is Garlick out and Kepler back.  Why not use the same lineup again.  Pretty sure Garlick could handle 2 games in a row.

 Pierzynski comments on how Jax doesn't like to drink water. "Not a big water guy".  Didn't do enough research to explain to the listening audience.

 

I would contrast that with Joe Ryan and his water polo background?

 

But sounds like Jax isn't even a little water guy...

 

(shoot i should remember the fancy literary device that is understatement in the negative...)

 

And Kepler is erased while i type.

 

I should quit typing.

This team wins 9-0 last night, but that's just one game.  They seem incapable of following up. Just more of the same the last 80+ games. Sign of a not very good team, I think.

Just have to hope that Cleveland and Chicago are worse

Chicago is losing 7-3 in the bottom of the 8th ... Cleveland-Mariners haven't started yet

Since Cleveland has great starting pitching, I will not count on them collapsing.  The Twins will have to have a good stretch at some point.

Don't forget how fast a couple of injuries can screw up a staff.  A blister, broken finger, a comebacker is all it takes.  Of course, the same is true of the Twins' staff.

Jax's aversion to water came about from his drinking bottled water while serving in the military.  Apparently the quality/taste was not to his liking and thus, he's not a fan of drinking water.

Well ... water in plastic bottles does taste weird ... at least to me

I give up. Did anyone?

 

Oh wait. I get it! One of them trick questions!

And yet this team...ohh wait, I forgot the Twins aren't as good as Baltimore, and they suckered our FO to take their closer, who hasn't been real good since the trade.

Castillo is pitching for the Mariners tonight ... I'd be inclined to give him the edge

California Baptist University? 

Circus Boy Update (long ago what... 3 years or more? the before times when the world hadn't yet moved on) a forrum member asked to be updated on a particular game thread. So it was written. So it was done... (is... when some of us old timers remember)

Cute but Useless?

Neigh, it serves a use, Especially in sparse threads where there is nothing to indicate when people are saying things relative to the game. Does anyone take the time to correlate post time stamps with happenings in the game?

 

Not to mention keeping Circus Boy Updated.
