I'm sitting next to a Yankee fan here at work. I had to explain to him what "moral victories" mean in reference to the Twins possibly winning the season series today.
did you start by defining "moral"??
I didn't. I explained what moral victories are, but then said he could never really understand the moral part.
If Duderino can win this game against the Yew Norks, He'll be my favorite Twin since Chuck James was released.
Does it count if he pitches pretty well, but ends up with a ND and the Twins winning?
Probably...
Will it lead to a new avatar?
Well, it appears that question is no longer an issue.
So much for that.
Oh-oh, Duderino leaving the game. Time for TJ surgery.
They said on the radio that it's a "left eye issue." I assume he'll have to have both of his eyes removed. We'll miss you, Samuel.
Removed, and inserted into his left elbow ligament.
Yes. This is exactly it.
Actually, I think it means he's gonna die in a jeep rollover in Honduras.
I was just talking to a co-worker yesterday about the crush I had on Lefteye. Weird.
I almost added a "Too Soon?" and then realized it happened ten years ago.
First blood - way to go Carson.
Unfortunately, this game is going the way I expected it to rather than the way I wanted it to.
The Twins seem to have gotten confused about the schedule and thought the off day was today.
With no Plouffe!, Mountie, or Consensual Pork...I thought it was an off day!
Now that's an implosion.
This is kind of what I expected when they brought in Duensing, unfortunately.
Even if I'm not particularly listening, I just find the sounds of a ball game on the radio a wonderful thing.
So I'm assuming since Deduno was removed rather abruptly, The Dunce did his warm-ups to live batters?
Cory: Sabathia has not won a start since August 24.
I think he's got a pretty good shot today.
Six runs in the third? I guess the Death Star is fully operational now.
Was Casilla smart enough to drop that on purpose to get the double play, or did it just work out that way?
Where is everybody? All we need is a couple of grand slams, and we're right back in the game!
And we need a half dozen Mauer hits
Doesn't our DH know what the "H" stands for? 0-3 with 3 K so far...that ain't it.
Wow, Dazzle, I actually learned something from you?! Babe Ruth's uni number came from his spot in the batting order
I think all of the Yankees' numbers did in those days. They were among the first to start using uniform numbers if I remember right.
**runs off to Google to see if he's right**
edit: sorta, the wiki is enlightening, as usual.
But not names. No way, that's just crazy.
Dazzle/Provus said that the Indians were the first to use uni numbers, beating the Yanks because the Yanks had a couple games rained out
among the first
Woot, exact wording!
Hey, hey, a run--we're coming back!
Aww, I think you scared away the rest.
channels new guy OPEN THE FLOODGATES! anticlimactic...
Not a great showing when your 1 through 5 hitters are 1-16 with 7 K.
1-18, 8 K 🙁
This would be an excellent time for that long-anticipated eight-run inning.
If I see Scout No Sh!t (which won't shut off for some reason) tell me one more time "[pitcher X] really trusts [catch Y] to throw that pitch in the dirt with a runner on 3rd" I'm going to switch to Classic Gameday
Gameday Mini is your friend.
Or Gameday classic.
Go into the URL and where it says "mode=gameday", change it to "mode=classic"
Or, you can just click the "classic" button, but this lets you refresh the window and stay at classic. (Particularly necessary as my work computer often stops updating or has missing at-bats.
At least this game will be memorable for Chris Herrmann. Way to go, Chris!
Yay Chris!
hey hey, we'll take it!
I have to say, I really like the incentives created by the new playoff system. Even if Baltimore really falls off pace and the Yanks clinch the East early, they really ought to be fighting hard to edge out Texas for the 1st overall seed, so they can get the edge over their 1st round opponent in setting their rotation. And all of the wild card teams are going to be fighting for the best record they can get because home field matters a lot more in a one game "series" than a 5- or 7-game series.
Well, getting pulled away from the game didn't turn out that poorly. Duderino would have gone the distance against Carsten Charles.
Crap. Oh well, 3-4 is still the Twins' best record vs. the Yankees since splitting in 2006.
Only six games left, boys. Let's make them count. We'll just have to settle for 71-91.
