i think scotch tape too. man, 3M needs to get their excrement together.
People will flock to electric cars if you can charge them under 15 minutes and go 200 miles or more. This should be able to do it eventually. That is awesome. If you can charge your car at home with a normal heavy-duty extension in an hour or two, that would be even better.
The town closest to sbgville wins the state class B title. First team from our district to win title since 1979.
Spamtown wins a squeaker against Winona to move on. Unbeaten at home since 2010.
The Sully Buttes Chargers finish fourth in the state, falling to Hanson 50-34. The Potter County Battlers boys team plays in the state tournament this week.
Once Aaron decided to emphasize baseball, Dad bought in. “I would throw him batting practice, but I couldn’t stand it,” Joe said. “He wouldn’t swing unless it was a strike. My arm would be killing me and he still wouldn’t swing.”
Me, too. I know a 64, or 66, or 68, or whatever number they're up to now-team tournament isn't the most fair way to determine a champion, but it's a lot of fun when the underdogs win.
no team is ever out until their conf tourney.
perk pitching to morneau, 2-2 tie in bottom of the 6th.
aaaand perk gives up the lead.
Perk might be the goat.
Hopefully that's the only one he gives up.
Perfect hit-and-run there.
USA blew a great chance to score there.
Joe Torre is doubleplus unhandsome.
Perhaps the most understated understatement of all time.
CC to CoC: you got mail, brah.
Again I say, congrats! Keep us [me] apprised of any new work; now that I've got taste, I could probably do with more art.
Mauer singles. Nice.
Unclutch. Should have homered.
Pulled for Princess Willie Boom-Boom on the bases.
Also because Torre had told Gardy that Mauer would catch no more than six innings. so, of course, he went seven. Close enough, I guess.
Lead off homer? And kill the rally before it even starts?
Yeah, those points are yours.
Crap strategy and crap execution on the crap strategy with that bunt attempt.
What are you talking about? Joe Torre is a genius.
Sure he is, when he has a $120 million roster to manage.
I don't understand having Zobrist bunt. Does Torre think his ability to play many positions makes him equivalent to Willie [redacted] Bloomquist?
The only advantage to bunting there is to move the runners up and eliminate the double play chance from an infield ground ball. But you have to execute the sacrifice and move the runners up to make it worthwhile.
Probably, but I think 99 percent of managers would have done the same.
But not with Zobrist.
Into the gap for two runs. Sweet.
Sweet. Back in front.
This US team is so much easier to root for with no Jeter and lots of Mauer.
Isn't everything easier to root for with more Mauer and less Jeter?
Well, schadenfreude might be out.
Like the Yanquis in two years? No way!
/Ducks.
A little late inning bingo is always nice.
I feel like they used Perk in the wrong situation. Only time will tell.
I agree. This is the second time that he was brought in right after the starting pitcher and got hit around. I think he's gotten used to being a late-inning guy and is having a hard time adjusting his routine.
I'm dubious. He said he can get ready very quickly and is fine whenever, though prefers starting an inning since you have more time. I would sooner blame it on playing in early March.
A vintage 2004 Morneau AB right there.
Michael Saunders is batting .700 in the WBC and already homered in this game, so he bunts for a single with the bottom of the lineup coming up.
Those Canadians sure are crafty, eh?
You should see the beaver carved from a maple log I picked up in Moose Jaw.
Zing.
I don't care if it ended up as a hit, bunting with just one on and one out while down by two runs is stupid.
Not necessarily. I don't know how far back Wright was, but it can make a lot of sense to keep the defense honest. Next time Saunders bats, Wright will have to play farther up, making it easier for Saunders to get a hit by him.
In early innings maybe, but in the bottom of the 8th?
Sure, why not? I don't know what kind of bunter Saunders is, but it was a nice bunt so I'm assuming he's capable enough.
Saunders is one of the few Canadians with power. They needed a homer there. They didn't need him to leave it up to the bottom of the order.
If he could will a home run whenever, I'm sure he would have done that instead. What they needed was a non-out. His career OBP is under .300, and last season's was merely .306. Assuming he's "hot", that's still 60+% chance of an out. He made that probably under 30% chance instead with the bunt.
Your chances for hitting a home run is zero when you bunt.
My chances of hitting a home run is zero no matter what.
How obvious it is to me now. Saunders was such a fool and should have hit a home run instead of bunted.
Good audio catch of what Larry Bowa thought of that call.
Nice "bullshit" from Bowa there. They said yesterday that under 20% of what Bowa utters will be safe for showing, so naturally they put him on as much as possible.
That game producer deserves a raise.
Does Bowa ever say anything besides [redacted]! or YEAH?
Sometimes he says "[Redacted] yeah!"
Honestly, I don't think I'm going to be buying lobster anything at Quiznos.
Don't worry, I doubt it's lobster.
It's definitely lubster.
I think I'd rather have the Bef®.
Norm!
Do you get that at the Hungry Heifer?
its 51% lobster!
51 percent lobster, 49 percent pink slime.
nah
probably 49% sea horse meat
Genius Torre is ridiculous. He refuses to use Craig Kimbrel, and he brings in a side-armer with extreme splits to pitch to a left-handed batter.
They were saving him so he can protect a five-run lead in the ninth.
way cool
Wow.
I love it when scientists "accidentally" discover something. I read that as code for "we're lucky we didn't blow up our lab and/or die".
Penicillin!
Interesting element I'd never heard:
Every time this guy tripped, he probably found pennies on the ground where he landed.
Post-its(!) FTW.
i think scotch tape too. man, 3M needs to get their excrement together.

Reusse relays the perils of pitching to a young Hicks:
I'm so getting a pitching machine instead.
I love when stuff like this happens.

I didn't see the game, but apparently you guys are not the only ones questioning some of Joe Torre's decisions.
Wolves Mavs Sunday night 6pm
feel the excitment
You spelled excrement wrong.
you could of watched the wild take 1st place over the canucks...
Well, I think this one's close to in the bag now.
That was a generous strike three call.
Nice win for USA. I didn't realize how much I missed baseball until this weekend. Twins on Friday, WBC on Saturday and Sunday. A good weekend.
The all-day baseball on MLBN is awesome.
if you dont mind listening to Spanish, ESPN is airing the Dominican Republic WBC game
nice for those of us who dont get the MLB Net
at one point in the 1st period of the Wild game, there were 5 Wild players in the penalty box.
