Did he get the warning point, then?

Dozier continues the fine tradition of bouncing the ball off a fielder (without injuring 'em) We could get the lead back...

I should have been clearer... My bad. More generally, has anyone used a mop for curling? Or is it against the rules or something. Or would dragging a bucket and a squeezer on the ice be disadvantageous? (i can see i haven't thought out the implications of such a strategy at all, and perhaps i should do so before i post it... nah, this way's more fun.)

What keeps ya from using a mop?

Thou shalt not advance on Rosario. Even if you're a Yankee like Ellsbury...

Plouffe applyin' the pressure with the base runnin'. Nicely done.

Sano ties it. Nicely done...

I hope he's okay... Golly. Now i feel bad for my casual comments about bouncing hits off fielders and/or their gloves...

Should have gotten involved in a land war in Asia...

When you got the trophy(s?), what put ya over the top? Or would that be revealing a trade secret? (Ya shouldn't have to... you can say "I did X" without explaining how...)

Grumble... 3-0 and still in the bottom of the first. Come on bats, you got Gibson's back, right?

Please elaborate. What are these contests? I am ignorant and pursue enlightenment...

If they could just fit a restaurant in, people might go to it? Kinda like, if you build it, they will come... I wonder if hotdog stands count? A favorite joke o' my sister's: The Buddhist* walks up to the hotdog vendor and says "make me one with everything." The corollary being he pays for it with a $20 and in response to further inquiries, the vendor responds "change comes from within." *-ignoring the fact that i believe they are vegan, no? But humor also comes from absurdity, or so i'm lead to believe...

I can see the appeal of beatin' 'em in their own house at their own game. Personally, i'll be happy with winning three one run nail biters that the Yankees of New York can do nothing about, while we remain as pleasant and courteous as can be. "Bravisimo! Encore!" But a no hitter, or a softball mercy rule style victory by the Twins as a statement certainly wouldn't be amiss... Anyway, what happens happens, and i suppose the Yankees might have something to say on the matter. It'll be an evening's entertainment, at last. I'm just glad i renewed my license a few months ago, before i got the temptation to show up in a bathing suit with a beach towel and a supersoaker. That could be taken the wrong way.

Do Yankees have them? I'd rather tip their cows, if we must abuse livestock, but i'm not sure they got them either, what with bein' a metropolis and all. Okay, i'll settle for taunting the contents of their bullpen. hey pitcher pitcher pitcher! My gramma can throw harder than that!

Wonderful metaphor... Alas so many of those things probably need to be backwards compatible to products predating version control... And if only everything were open source, you wouldn't have to be dealing with tech support (not that it would be any easier, considering documentation) Anyway ye olde game is over and we can count i among the forks!

A good story. Seems like the right currency for these sorts of transactions...

Exsqueeze me! 4-1... Rosario w/ at triple high off the wall, and Nunez bunts him in and himself on.

Plouffe? 3-1, i guess.

Nope. Just a bit lazy about the postin'... Sorry if i'm letting folk down. 2-1 entering the bottom half of the 8th inning. (CBUseful) Perkins might get to pitch?

Stolen base for Sano. As expected...

Still 2-1 after 5 for ye who follow the Circus Boy Updates.

What's the saying? All's fair in love and baseball? Don't think i got it quite right, 'cause if so, there'd be fewer lines on the field...

Concur.

Sano gets a hit through the left side of the infield. 2 outs later, Nunez doubles of the shortstop's glove, with some tight baserunning by both he and Sano. Suzuki knocks 'em in for a 2-1 lead! Life is good.
