The Twins get on the board with the help of some White Sockery.
I miss Morneau
Speaking of broadcasters, I have to say Atteberry has grown on me. He'll never be Herb or even Cory, but I'm finding him pleasant to listen to.
I prefer Cory, of course, but it can't be said too often that there are A LOT worse out there.
Like the guy sitting next to Atteberry!
Also A LOT worse than him as well.
I feel the opposite so far. Admittedly it has been a week or two since I've listened to him, so maybe?
A 3-0 lead!
Roughly apropos (I am watching the replay), Kyle Farmer is very thankful for Angels' pitching.
Adell's fielding has been atrocious this series
That explains why he hasn't played more. Everything I read says he's a good athlete and he works hard. I guess some guys just aren't good fielders.
More White Sockery. We'll take it!
More boos coming in for the home team.
I'm saying nothing this time. Biting my tongue.
Meh, doesn't even matter. Guess I just have to stop looking at the hits allowed column
Now I need to avoid looking at the runs column too.
thanks for nothing
all your fault...
"Margot will not bat" sounds good.
real good
Heh, Plouffe wondering what its like to be as fast as Buxton and Provus responding with "its a burden" was excellent work.
It's a gift ... and a curse.
Yet Vázquez somehow now leads Buxton in stolen bases.
It's amazing what can happen when you don't strike out constantly
Wheels Vazquez
Catcher steals are the best.
For those not able to watch the tv broadcast, they just showed a clip of Baldelli talking about the home run sausage that Jeffers throws at guys when they score/hit home runs.
It would have been an apt opportunity to use the term “sausage party.”
Since there was a lot of sausage talk today, I can't see that Okert is pitching and not see okra and not think about jumbalaya.
The Puppies and Fireworks store has been getting a lot of business the past several days
I'm here for any of you late night Wolves fans.
You know I’m here.
Same.
Looking forward to a 3rd quarter blitz.
The Wolves are playing some really not good basketball, but it's still tied somehow at least.
Lots of offensive rebounds, good defense (KAT on Durant recently, excepted).
KAT's the only one hitting 3s though.
Yup. Some really cold shooting. Impressive that they are so close.
Oh, f+*% your desperation shot, Booker.
Oh, f+*% your desperation shot, Booker.
is my default.
I was out in Phoenix for five years. I picked up Phoenix sports teams as a second love for convenience’s sake, but that doofus kept me at bay.
Great scorer. But how many NBA champions sport chinstraps? Sooo ugly.
He's playing like his usual self tonight.
He's an efficient scorer, not just a volume shooter.
It's happening ™
Jaden McDaniels showing emotion after that dunk
Suns are cooked now
Is there a more b.s. advertising slogan than Patrón's "made by hand" Tequila?
WTF is that supposed to mean?
Wolves waking up...
KD has made some amazing shots this game.
Impossible, in some cases. The man was otherworldly. I will/won’t miss him. You know.
Going down to the wire.
Stop giving it to Rudy except for alley-oop dunks.
Even if we lose this game, I love this team so much.

That was Booker's fault.
Yes. Ran Conley right into him.
Still blaming Booker.
Oh, definitely.
(sorry, misread your comment. yes, he's a d-bag)
Ruptured patellar tendon.
Holy crap.
On the good side, he has a few days to stabilize.
Good thing he has extra time to rest and heal up after the sweep. Maybe it will be the fastest return ever to the game after surgery.
I suppose I could root for the Lakers to take one more game and give him a little more time.
Oh, man. Finch.
Sweeeeeeeeep!
i was howling at this.
KABOOM, baby.
Sorry, Phoenix. A little.
