Doug Fister
v
Brian Duensing
FSN talking about the internal debate about whether Duensing should start or relieve. Bert then talks about how his last three starts are good evidence he should start. Yes, clearly just those three starts matter. I really need to avoid tuning in until the last possible minute.
I can’t wait until dinner is off the grill so I can break into some CheapBrew.
I’ve heard good reviews. Well, one good review. But no bad ones.
I had some 2 summers ago. They were fantastic.
I’ve opted to start with the Black IPA to accompany my pork chops and baked beans.
Fister/Duensing…nah, doesn’t have much of a ring to it. Wonder if he’s pitched against TB’s David Price?
SEND HIM!!!
crap, couldn’t get the sign on in time
We should politely ask sean to add something like SEND HIM!! to make things easier for you.
second.
SEND HIM!!!!!!!
Heh, also modified your LTE Mags.
SEND HIM!!!!
heh.

SEND HIM!!
what, no button??
How lazy are you??
Out of curiosity, could you tie the “mail” function to the <sh> button and make it one-click?
Probably, but I would have to write a lot more code. As it is now, you can click the button, press ‘tab’, and then enter to send it, so that should be quick enough.
You did ask how lazy we could get.
What language is that code in? I might have a go at trying something out myself.
PHP. The problem is that the code for the plugin is simple enough and adding it to the quick tag list is also simple, just a configuration change. Melding the two and then automatically mailing the LTE would involve joining multiple, disparate things.
Down by two, playing for one in the first. Sigh.
Twins Baseball™.
Just finished up a dinner of grilled burgers seasoned with Tony Chachere Creole Seasoning & topped with provolone, now I’m drinking a Pibb Zero and settling in for the game. I’m going to bail if it gets ugly early since I have Darksiders II waiting for me.
Roast pork with Bohemiam Rub(fixed) spices (wife picked them up on recent trip to Colorado) on top of noodle medley (rice stick, green onion, mushroom, beef broth, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and cilantro, Sriracha.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Dinner: See above.
homemade tacos w/Mrs. Renfro’s hot salsa
leftover chicken with sauteed broccoli.
Dr. Chop and I bought a bushel of actual hatch green chili on Sunday and spent the rest of the weekend roasting and peeling peppers. We had green chili stew for dinner tonight, which is helping drive off this cold I’m working on.
Mastroianni was not close to that ball
Duensing didn’t get the same contract offer that Deduno got?
Matrix leathah.
I really don’t like Brian Duensing, Starter.
No, I don’t think Dunce is a starting pitcher. I made this determination a very long time ago.
Sheesh.
Blackburnian
Almost.
Nick Blackburn has a 5.59 ERA in 44 starts since the beginning of last season, allowing 315 hits in 241.2 innings.
If only we had a good starter at Rochester that we could bring up…
I am a bit testy this evening. Dick’n'Bert are already wearing on me. I ran some errands on the bike earlier, but I’m thinking I might need another ride to just chill out.
Can someone please catch the effing ball?
I just watched the videos; someone in the stands must be blinding them with mirrors or something, because those dives aren’t all that close.
I wish Delmon sported that stache when he was with the Twins.
Oh yeah, the Tigers defense. Just the secret weapon needed to get back into this thing.
did you seriously lasso that (or whatever equivalent function that i’m ignorant of)? wow.
No. Transparent PNG. I just found a gothic font, found the Detroit color, and kept the image background transparent.
hmm. i’m gonna have to figure out how to do that.
Which editor? I don’t know if MS Paint can’t do it, but anything better than that can. I did the above in Paint.NET and others in GIMP.
If the background is white you can magic wand it and select inverse to capture just the text / image to accomplish the same thing.
Or this. If you’re editing text that already has a background, that’s how you do it. I was starting from scratch, so it was easier to just not have a background.
Totally. Just another option to modify things you find elsewhere.
Fielder committed about 12 errors on that play.
Both errors to Fielder, rouch.
This infield is almost as entertaining as staggeringbeauty.com
that’s obnoxious
kind like the Det. infield
no, awesome.
Well, that could be nsfw…
what drugs are YOU on?!
Ham, Willing to tie the game.
Willing hammer!!!
WILLINGHAMMER!!!!!
Consuelatown, 2000!
Cool.
HAMMERING HAM!
I love that even in Target Field you can pretty much tell when Willingham jacks a donger as soon as he hits it. No fence scrapers for Consuela.
fun fact: 3 of the last 6 home runs blasted by Willingam have been 3 run HRs.
Fister. Yeah.
What is it with Doumit’s baserunning around second base?! He lucked out this time…
Heh. I’m thinking the Tigers would be well in first if they had average defense.
They have a -22 UZR, tied for 25th. They do have the worst defensive efficiency in the AL and third worst in the majors. Assuming average defensive efficiency, they would have 84 fewer hits/dudes on base because of an error. Off the top of my head, that’s something like 65 runs better on defense. That would improve their runs given up per game from 4.45 to 3.88. I think that would put them at 65-51, or +4 wins.
they have something like 58 unearned runs scored
tonight?
1) Apply tag. 2) Catch the baseball. Oops.
has no one seriously started a new comment in the last half hour?
I posted a game log!
I was reading it! Poor Manship.
Was the othe dude successful in talking himself into a baseball?
Negative. They left after the 6th. I then told the Calf how he was tougher than the kids older than him.
With that said, if he had been successful I probably would have then began to beg for a ball.
You can always write to pat neshek to get the calf his first baseball.
ooooh. Now you are talkin’.
sorry. Work intervened for the last several hours.
Absolute Boo. Now I have to go home. Which guarantees a comeback, right???
I was waiting for someone else to post something
I was working the wires for a good baseball card trade.
Come on, Casey! Use those ball chucking skills.
going to need to plate a few runs (8?) this inning
NOOOO!!! NOT BURNETT!!!
My exact thoughts. I stuck around too long to play Darksiders, too. Darn it.
I’m watching the Count’s Customs show on History, with the game on previous channel.
If the season ended right now the Minnesota Twins would not make the playoffs.
YDNRODM?
Very graceful form there by _elm_n.
Bite me, _elm_n!
Yeah, it was better that it was Delmon.
Howdy y’all.
norm!
A shout out to both of you in the other non-functioning game log LTE section.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I told you that that shirt fell off a truck.
In Shanghai.
Hand pressed in west Texas.
I was wondering if that was a hand-made Maugher jersey.
I was talking about my corduroys.
dude, that was the least i could do.
Justin mounted that one.
E-ump.
Um…what happened in that play and why wasn’t Infante called out?
I hate Alex Burnett. I hate Miguel Cabrera. I’m tuning out now.
well…butt.
wait, they said Swashstash is returning to the Twins?
A return of a
badserviceable yet bad pitcher that I don’t hate?VICTORY!
And with that, the likelihood of a Twins win went to 0.4 percent.
So you’re saying there’s a chance.
If the Twins win this game, I’d recommend getting some Powerball tickets.
I’d recommend PRINTING some Powerball tickets.
Ack.
What does this joker Tigers pitcher call himself again?
I’m not into wishing harm on anyone, but I wouldn’t mind it if dancie twisted his ankle.
Suck it greekhouse!
SEND HIM!!
yeah, see, that’s too easy.
SEND HIM!!
interesting — can’t embed within font color tags, for instance
I can’t tell if it’s a bug in the plugin or WordPress is moving the closing font tag to before the shortcode.
Absolute boo.
I am starting to worry that, as a Twins fan, I might have to start looking ahead to next season.
okaaaay…?
They are rearranging the deck chairs on this fancy, unsinkable liner.
S/B Nishi.
:’(
Tough game, but just wait ’til Pedro Florimon gets here! We’ll just have to settle for 96-66!
