Plouffe seems pretty good at finding 2nd base. (and now he found 3rd base too) I hope he can make it further...

Well done, Santana!

No... It's just a different 2 out hitting problem.

I'm okay with another walk. Now let's see what Pinto can do! I hope he's worked up an appetite...

Could indeed have gone better. Arcia's doin' his best to start gettin' them back!

Maybe you're in Ranger's territory? I hear Texas is big...

It does indeed have Pinto in it, batting 7th. I can probably type the lineup up if that helps? Or even copy and paste, if i'm clever. If i did that, i might even find one with all the accents and tildes right (which was impressive on yesterday's thread) 1. Not a stretch to be hopeful for a good season. (Ever since someone used the phrase "rubberband man" i've been wanting to adapt some new lyrics to "mr. sand man", but alas, i'm slow when i try to be clever) 2. Yup. Deduno's still fun to watch, and doin' pretty good. 3. I know it isn't a useful response, but i sure hope Martinez throws baseballs. Anything else, and someone could cry foul play... 4. I bet there's a lesson in this somewhere, regarding news and salt... 5. That's a bummer, man! But alas, i'm not likely to be able to offer anything useful. At least there'll be a diversionary baseball game this afternoon.

Thanks all for the company! I guess this is one of those games that builds character...

Hey, at least we got another runner to third...

Nunez singles, Santana got the bunt down. We could tie it right here...

"If my boy says he can eat 50 eggs, he can eat 50 eggs!" I like runny yolks too. Though they can get messy really quickly if you're not careful.

I don't know... That's how i try to cook 'em myself... Served on well buttered potato toast, so the eggs melt the butter if the toast doesn't. So no service staff involved with that. And i don't usually scare myself much. I try not to, anyway... I have never actually tried to get eggs in riddle form. Don't know what would happen if i did...

I'll eat the eggs as their cooked, which is usually scrambled, but tryin' to cook the white and leave the yolks intact/uncooked until the last second, turning the heat off, and letting the residual heat cook the yolk just a bit as they get scrambled together, so the overall result is moist, with the flavor of yolk... That said, if i could get away with it, i'd claim i like them in riddle form: "Box without hinges, key, or lid Yet golden treasure inside his hid." And i like goose eggs with twins pitching and fielding. Not so much when batting.

Another runner at 3rd...

We won! And it'll be a very interesting season indeed if this is a representative win... I missed the special base running of Nunez, but, hopefully i'll catch a highlight sometime. Thanks all!

"Where's the happy little tire swing?" hot dam! It's the (soggy) bottom (of the line up) - er boys!

(Still trying to imagine the works of a goatscaper...) "Do your goats seem old-fashioned, out of date?" Anyway the run scored, and now we gotta answer it somehow...

Torn between clever, but not particularly relevant responses... "Hughes will have that shield down! We gotta give him more time!" or "I always think everything is a trap. That's probably why I'm still alive..."

I'll go with Causality...

Hit it!

Welcome back, Arcia!

Is this like 1% milk? Anyway, sad to hear 'bout Yu. I guess it's not Yu's day... I hope we win...

Oh, i got around to tryin' it... (From 5/9 game thread) I gave it a shot, and i did not regret the experience... Short answer (abstract?): it's something different. If you want to still taste the hot dog, go light on the A-1. I wouldn't endorse going out of your way, but if the two are on the same table, sure, try a daub on the end of your hot dog, and see whatcha think. (If a longer answer is desired/useful, i can come up with more thoughts on the matter) And i guess the only way i think to tie it back into twins baseball... Welcome back Arcia and Willingham!

Someday, maybe. Just not today, i guess. Well, we got the rubber band pullin' for us again. Thanks all!

5 runs before 3 outs? Can we do it? (i hope so...)
