Builds character.

Then, whoever pinch pitches for that pinch hitter, and so forth... Ah, the violence inherent in the system. I've been whiling away the pregame time listening to the online radio broadcasts of minor league teams. That's one silver lining with west coast games.

I know it's splitting hairs, but does one really get to the place you start in? My favorite difference is that we got to home plate (by way of 3rd base) more often than they did. Granted, the two are related somehow. But yeah! Hooray for win, and all related baseball happenings. When's the last time we took a road series in Seattle?

The quick summary: Pino gives up a solo homer, but strands the bases loaded... twice. Twins score the first two on a double steal/overthrow and a sack fly, then the next two on a Morales (or is that KP?) double over the center fielder. Twins have gotten two calls reversed on challenges as well. I actually haven't been following too closely, but hamster seems to be the word of the day.

Clearly WTH = "Wheat, Tomato, Hamster"

Is that a wise crack?

Nice to see hits strung together.

Took... um, words out of mouth...

Yeah, that 9th inning had a bit of style to it. I'm happy. G'night all!

The bulk of my textile knowledge is from the ballad of harry lewis: And there is an instance doily should be capitalized, namely when it is well, a name, as in D'oyle Carte. Good luck on the curtains, Ash!

Which is more, we lead!

Ditto! (I mean Fuld!)

He got on, but cleverly doubled, so there was less incentive to steal...

That will be worth seeing!

2 for 2 on stolen bases. At least one thing seems to be going well.

I also am happy with Suzuki at 3rd for that exact reason. I imagine there is a general belief though, that 3rd and 4th batters should be greater power threats, perhaps?

Strange. Never thought of 5-9 as short, but even the weather seems taller... Yup. Kudos to Correia. Right up there with Pino's outing. Must resist temptation to say something (else) stupid... As tempting as dreams are, i'll try to stay awake for the game. Just maybe, the game will be better! But i'll get my hands on some real marshmallows to avoid any confusion. Let's see... marshmallows go well with... cocoa, and fire.

Oh well. Thanks for the company.

Sounds like a lightbulb joke. I don't know. How many?

He had all the effort though, and i appreciate it. He'll get some of those. Alas, just not this one...

~270 feet from scoring as i type! And 3 outs to get there too...

They've gotten somewhat under 270 feet from scoring, but had to retreat due to the subsequent situation.

And it was fielded like it was hit. So he's on. In the short term, that's good enough for me. (If only we coulda done something with it...)

Considering who we're playing, might an albatross be effective?

Oh! I got this one! Them facing each other implies that one of them has left the Twins. Thus self-deprecation gives the victory to the non-Twin. How'd i do?
