Why do they keep bringing up putting Escobar in the OF? Pretty sure he's pinch-running and going in for Florimon at SS. I'm a little surprised Ramirez didn't go into LF.

Bremer and Coom didn't realize that Gardy wouldn't burn his backup catcher. No surprise to me.

Now, Bremer doesn't recognize a RH hitter is up vs. Swarzak. Dick needed the vacation, not Bert.

Chief beat me to a Kaos reference

I really feel that my pessimism in the 9th reverse-jinxed us.

Forgot about Gardy and using up the backup C.

If it will make you feel better, I can ban you for a week.

We're both too GD old.

Two bits says he was safe.

He was out, just like Drew was out at the plate.

Time to turn two.

Haven't been on the game thread for awhile. 20 pages and still going. Is that typical?

Nice call.

Not at all... There usually isn't this much actual baseball discussion.

Ahhh, I need a telephone booth and a shoe phone.

OK, you are unbanned.

Chief is posting tonight, that adds 5 pages of bloat right from the start.

No, but neither is the Twins showing some fortitude after disappointment.

And Agent 99?

Yeah, it would be nice to have another lefty in the pen.

Swarzie stops the string of single runs scored by the Sox. This game might end by midnight Eastern Time.

Ouch! I chuckled out loud on that one.

And Agent 99?

Oh yeah, 99! I was about 14 and I thought she was.....hot!

You gotta play with the clubs in your bag.

I smell a Plooffy blast.

You're selling me a bit short, there, aintcha?

Plouffe, please make good contact.

Thought? Girl next door Hot. No doubt.

A good analyst always errs on the conservative side.

Carroll not PR for Plouffe? Weird.

Which is why I'm surprised at the undersell.

What! No pinch runner for Plouffe? Carroll is available and he's still 39.
