Game Thread: Twins@White Sox 4/3 1:10PM

[Jerr]

I'm going to light the grill. It's been fun.

 

Things turning white here, again as the snow falls:cry:

[Riverbrian]

Turning off computer, leaving work to get the kids....you're all welcome for me staying until the time at which I am allowed to leave by my fifteen bosses (and thanks for the great game thread).

 

Thanks Limestone... You the Man!

[Richie the Rally Goat]

where were Hicks and Willingham, backing up 2nd base on the foul/fair pop up in the 9th?

[longstrangetrip]

So......Gardy still has a chance of getting to 1000 wins, right?

 

 

 

(I was starting to worry a little...)

[glunn]

Nice win and good game thread. Thanks, all.

Looking for the clowns????

[Riverbrian]

Normally when I am at work I will follow a box score, and maybe check a game thread. The last couple of days for some reason, I have only been following the game thread. It is kind of interesting, and at times maybe a little disturbing, to try and figure out what is going on solely by the comments of the people here.

 

That is Chaotically beautiful.

Yeah, it's still raining here, but I've been dry aging these steaks for a while, and dammit, I'm going to enjoy the whole process.

[James]

See ya, gang. Time to go home.

[kydoty]

All three games being a contest of who wanted to lose more. Yuck!

[Brock Beauchamp]

And that, folks, is Clown Car Baseball™.

[Ultima Ratio]

As I've said all along, this offense is a powder keg.

[Guest USAFChief]

So, just as we all thought going into the season, the starting pitching is worse than last year, the bullpen is really tough, Zuke-sie and Kubel should hit 2 and 3 to lead an offense that will put up 6+ per game, and Willingham will be the best defensive outfielder.

Rain or snow stop a grilling? NEVER!!! Enjoy!

[LaBombo]

For the love of christ, can someone teach Bert how to say "Colabello"?

The physical impossibility of this will be covered in an upcoming episode of the newly remixed 'Cosmos'.

Baseball is a strange game.

And the series was a good object lesson in how hard it is to lose 100+ games. There are games where you get outplayed (Monday) and games you should win but manage to lose (yesterday), but then there are the games like today that you deserve to lose but end up Escobarring your way into a win anyway.

 

Love that Cola is Arcia's translator, btw.

Baseball is a strange game.

Ain't it though. Wonderfully, fantastically, mesmerizingly strange.

[TKGuy]

Baseball is a strange game.

 

Thats why I love baseball, things can go up and down numerous times in a game

Anthony LaPanta: "Chris Colabello, first Twin to drive in 6 since last September"

 

WOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!

 

Great Nugget, Panther!

[Squirrel]

Geez ... I missed it all ... damn it for work ... but at least they will replay the game here later. At least I know it has a happy ending!

It turns out that Bert's Fractured English is but one of the "billions and billions" of cosmic mysteries associated with baseball that Neil plans to cover in the next episode:

And a long, strange trip getting there....but worth it! (I am curious what Fox Sports North will decide what to keep in, and what to edit in their 2 hour condensed version of the game).

Garza can beat that by himself.

[Dr. Evil]

Turn down the volume and play circus music during the game replay. Baahaaaaaaa!

[DuluthFan]

Waiting for the headlines for this game.

Don't do cable, but mlb here, so I'm gonna watch and see the exact place, I was referred to as the "scrape goat" for the loss:roll:

How about "lucky charm":p

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Was at a bar watching the game so I didn’t have an opportunity to share my comments.

This was an amazing game. The twins were ahead by a good margin then lost it when Swarzak tried to give the game away…then a wonderful come-from-behind victory. Everything I enjoy about a good ballgame!

[Monkeypaws]

1-2 looks so so much better than 0-3. A win next game and it's a fresh slate.

[snepp]

Not much I love more than beating the white Sox.
