Gardy: It's worse than I thought if you get hit by a screen door. Joking aside, I hope Nolasco does what he has to to figure it out.

As you wish... After much deliberation: "Welcome to the pit of despair!" (Runner up being "I don't mean to pry, but you don't by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?" which leads into the sword fight and relevant handedness as the original referent)

Have there been recent concerns regarding seismic activity? My family moved away from Warshington the summer before St. Helens, but i was a wee tyke at the time, and don't remember very much...

If i may interpret the concept of the Rallagher Gallagher, i think it infers the Twins batters are swinging Sledge-o-matics, and the opponent pitchers are throwing watermelons. But i haven't figured out how much of the watermelon needs to be in a fielder's glove to be able to tag the runner/base for an out...

If we had less pitching, would that mean we were getting outs faster? So right now, with 2 on and none out in the first, (scratch that, 1 out. Nice catch, Mr. Fuld) we are getting more pitching...

Getting cheap wins means we have more to spend on other wins, right? Anyway, i'd like to white ballot the nap motion...

Good to know. I'll keep my eyes out for the recycling bins next time i set 'em off... Do we have to wash them out first/remove labels?

Sorry. Is arithmetic also to riske?

I still have hope. Runs needed < Outs left...

The foul lines have been kind to the twins today. And regarding the 9th inning pitcher, I assume Perkins might like to pitch?

Nice snag by Polanco to end the inning...

Yup. All you need is another Gibson...

Is a 4 pitch walk okay? I got no problems with it myself...

Does Gibson get another inning?

Ball comes off Escobar's bat sneaky fast. He winds up on second!

Curtains for you!

It looks like it might be a game! Hurray!

Exactly!

Will he play shortstop in the 9th in place of Florimon? Or will there be some juggling of the infielders? (By juggling, i mean rearranging...)

Polanco works the count full, then grounds to second.

So you say there's hope? Hyde's gonna crush the ball! Assuming he can lay off the slider out of the zone.

I thought the cure was a band... Anyway, 4 runs in 3 innings is not insurmountable.

Mmmm... Diving into first base! I enjoyed the defense that inning.

Go Polanco!

Does any team have a rally-gator? Not going to try to provide a visual, but i'm sure they'd surprise the other team.
