it’s a very undesirable skill.

I DO NOT NEED TO HEAR HOW AMAZING DETROIT IS. Shut your faces.
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
"That's taken the life out of this crowd."
Quit saying that, and comment on the baseball game like you’ve watched a baseball game.
Now he just said, “like the great city of Detroit, these Tigers don’t quit.”
The economy has nothing to do with this game. And now I hit mute.

Things I've learned since the first overflow thread (and finding a new bar)
O Cab is the man.
Maggs can burn in hell.
Rick Porcello is only 20 years old!!!
at least you're still near liquor.
probably going to need it.

Dear Mr Marsh,
Just because a pitcher throws a ball to the catcher and the hitter doesn’t swing, that doesn’t mean it’s not a strike.

porcello got that pitch all game
strike em out throw em out and that twin hating bag of crap behind the plate missed it
thats because he is Porcello!
the rules are different when you are only 20!

I think Roe v. Wade was enacted specifially for Randy Marsh’s parents

It's going to be overturned
once the pro-lifers use the slogan, “Your fetus could be the next Porcello!”
I agree
I’d like to bring Marsh to my Full-Birth abortion clinic

"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
That was the best comment exchange ever.
All these people in the bar are staring at me, because I can’t stop laughing about full-birth abortions.
yes
Marsh, proof that abortion should be legal and, in some cases, retroactive

Oh crap
Can’t disagree with Gardy’s decision – the way the pen is going, Twins gotta shut this down and win in the 8th.
2 down.
Thank you, Joe Nathan. One more.
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
I'll trade you Aaron Miles & Kevin Gregg
for Joe Nathan.
"The riches of the game are in the thrills, not the money." --Ernie Banks
Definitly not
How about Darling and Marsh for the prize you get in you crackerjacks bag?
by Percy Harvin My Fav! on Oct 6, 2009 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions
If/When
Nathan gets out of this jam, the Twins win expectancy will be 63.5%, similar to the win probability before the game started.
vr, Xei
YEAH!!
Joe Nathan…welcome back!
"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett
Beautiful Pitch
Thanks for getting one right Marsh

I'mma ask the bartender
for a shot of scotch that been aged 20 years. So I can toast to the awesomeness that is 20 year old Rick Porcello. He’s only 20 years old!
just so you know
if your shot of scotch were Rick Porcello…it would only be 20 years old and it couldn’t even drink yet!

Write to the Umpire Legion of Doom. And your senator. Maybe they can make him call actual balls and strikes.

The most common formula encountered, with no indication of standard deviation, is:

This is coming from a guy who strongly dislikes Joe Buck,
but I will say that when Buck just does play-by-play and keeps his crappy opinions to himself, he’s ok.
But his voice
It’s so….soothing and comforting. When he talks it feels like my ears are being massaged in baby oil.

You know
I don’t have a problem with Gardenhire hitting Kubel behind Mauer because of the Lefty-Lefty thing. But shouldn’t he swap Cuddyer and Kubel since they’ll never take Cuddyer out at 1st for a defensive replacement?
luv his suits
luv is probably not a strong enuf word actually
Wow, genius in the purple jacket
it’s definitely not Favre that does the cattle rope thing. Good lord.
