I thought the rule was "Know math". We don't always stop to explain it... But i never was that good at spelling....

I can't tell... Is two ground into single plays better than a ground into double play?

You got good hearing. Like the dogs in aristocats?

Also don't blow your fingers off. Blow on your fingers all ya want though. Er... addendum. Goes for baseball players too. Some of them line drives are pretty hot.

Apropos of nothing*: i saw a Twins hat perched upon the head of a pa whose young daughter was covering her ears at the noisome music of the parade going by. Sorry our music was so loud... * Yeah, nothing. Sorry i'm an aproposer...

When in the course of human events. it becomes necessary for one fan base to complain vociferously enough about the lack of base running, and the dubious control we have on our opponents running game, and become so focussed that we lose ourselves in one petty detail, like if Buxton steels home on a strike 3 for a third out, does he actually have to beat the pitch home, beat the catcher controlling his bobbling of the pitch in an effort to get the tag down? or does he have to beat the other umps check swing call? Curious minds want to know these things... Anyway, it is good to take step back, appreciate the big picture, that the season is actually going okay despite a speed bump or two. And even the summer isn't too bad, and no extra terrestrials enslaving us or meteors wanting to prove the got the rite stuff. True, the world isn't perfect yet, but it ain't necessarily bad, leastwise in our isolated pockets of the internet. So pull up a tasty choice of sustenance, invite some fine friends and/or family over turn on the game and lets enjoy the wild ride that is a Twins game! Minnesota Twins Line Up: 0.

Well, that was anticlimatic. Glad we didn't get our hopes up.

We been getting to their closer last few times, right? Do they keep sending him out there? Or do they try someone new?

Oh well. Check swing dribblers are rarely good news.

Are we allowed to come back now the copyright message has been delivered?

Oh right. Drier time. Too easy to get caught up in the game...

We would also have accepted the bullpen received a Minaya call.

We need more doubles... And more posts isn't a bad thing either.

The field is visually on downward plane. He has to look up to see where a fly ball is going, so it is easy to lose track.

Why not? They don't know the gravity of the situation?

Yeay 1 run! The uphill battle isn't as high.

C'mon Polanco!

Yeah! Target Field!

Alright, screw the courage to sticking point! (Assuming MLB doesn't forbid it) We gotta score some runs!

I'm waiting for two more puns...

Banjos are no joke. The sounding board can be pretty hefty. And such a nice large round contact surface. If the phrase meant they swung the bat as though it were a banjo, i'd be careful pitching to them.

Well, we aren't allowed to run into the stands to catch it, are we?

One who hits banjos?

Nice hit too.

Not all walks haunt. Leastwise not very long.
