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.

 

Kepler threads the needle for a single.

 

(would that be an unseeing eye base hit?)

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 

Is Arraez a little water guy?

 

I like to think he's dew...

Runner in scoring position....

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

well darn ...

1-0 San Fan after... 7?

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.

Sanchez.  Its 50-50 he scores on a single to LF

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.

 

It's a tarp!

Anyone notice Baltimore is about to win their 2nd straight game in Houston?

And 0% he scores on a fly out.

 

But with the benefit of hindsight and its affinity for absolutes.

I give up. Did anyone?

 

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

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.

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

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

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)

And I also think Seattle is better than Cleveland

No, just cute ... CBU goes back a few years ... Circus Boy Update

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.

ChiSox are now 7-5, still bottom 8th
