Sly Woman Making Bacon Omelets

I'm not sure, but in the 2nd inning Gladden was already speculating Sanchez wasn't right health-wise. He missed his last start if I'm not mistaken, so I imagine he was either on a pitch count or wasn't looking good. If they said anything on the radio at the time he came out, I missed it.

Thanks, Chief.

Two people not going that well--Burton and Flori-moan--however the 5-4-3 DP off the bat of Peralta makes it pretty comfortable.

"SWMBO".

 

In honor of Glorm, I'm going to try to decipher that. I could go the easy route...She Who Must Be Obeyed...but where's the fun in that?

 

I'm going with Single White Male Boyfriend, Oscar.

Plouffe having himself a decent game.

 

"Decent". Give the Twins credit for getting him in the lineup on his birthday. (He hit 2 HRs last year on birthday #26.) Welcome back Plouffie- OPS now back over .800.

At which base?

At long last, the Twins have found their new leadoff man...

It seems to work if Gardy is attacked for putting him there.

I wish I could see this on TV.

 

Me, too, dammit. So few wins, you'd think they'd let us watch just for that reason.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. He's obviously doing better than "decent".

SWMBO is summoning me to leave.

 

Leave my mother out of this. Thanks.

I think he's definitely proved he's fully healthy tonight, at the plate and in the field. Man, would it be something if this was the type of showing that could be counted on consistently from Plouffie.

Nice clean outing for Perk. Not to be sniffed at.

And Clete says, How Do You Like Me Now? I'm still not buying any, but I'm not selling either.

That's about right, but I think we can all agree that there's some mighty slim pickings for leadoff types on the grocery shelves these days.

Brag much?

Yeah, it'd be great if he could go 3-3 with a walk, 3 RBI, and 7 total bases every night.

He would get a rather large contract

Is that what I said? Why would you choose to pick a silly quibbling quarrel on a great night for the Twins and Plouffe, like tonight? Of course he won't do this every night, just more consistent production in the field and at the plate and a .800+OPS over 162 games, then we'd really have something here over the longer term.

 

It's time for guys to step up on this team.

I meant to say earlier, Bri, that if you got 7% of Mauer's contract, and 15% of his endorsements, and all you got is a Dodge Dart....you should have shopped around at different dealers. Maybe even ventured out of state.

Its the game thread. You just roll with things and see where they end up.

It's possible you overreacted.

 

In which case, my apologies.

Tonight was the best performance I've witnessed in person by the club this year. No need for nitpicking on the few-and-far-between nights like this.

but... I love my Dart... I'm taking the rest of the money and buying a bowling ball that shoots fireworks all the way down the lane.

Now THAT would be something I'd pay to see.

 

Is there a mailorder website, or do those have to be purchased in person?

Its not called Nit Picking on the Game Thread. It's called Arizona Dry Wit.

It's possible on my end, it's also possible you overstated your case. Apologies accepted. Either way, a fun game all around tonight, actually a little life in the old ballclub after all. Plouffe needs to establish whether he wants to be part of leading this team out of their morass or looking for opportunities elsewhere, along with a few other underperformers on this team. As of tonight, Plouffe is the only guy besides Mauer with an OPS over .800, he and Arcia have the chance to take over some of the hitting leadership on this club, as some of the other "safe" veterans continue to flounder.
