Game Thread: Twins v Dodgers double-header, 5/1 @ 12:10pm and 6:10 CT

[big dog]

He's had a month's worth of highlights in the last 24 hours.

[LaBombo]

Brian Dozier for gold glove, anyone?

Almost completely depends on offensive counting stat outcome.

 

Zero sarcasm, btw. That being said, he is a good defensive 2B.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Here's Kubel!

[cmathewson]

I think Hicks is hurt.

[Guest USAFChief]

Buck up, fans. We're just two overthrows at first from taking back the lead.

[Riverbrian]

Paco looks like he's doing interpretive dance.

 

Or he's showing the other bees how to get to the flowers.

[Halsey Hall]

We could use a long ball. How about it Pedro?

[drunksam]

If Hicks isn't hurt that was a bad move to hit for him and not Florimon's disaster at the plate.

A couple of these guys could use a long plane ride...how about Pedro?

[Gibby]

How do these fast food joints get away with advertising these big beautiful burgers and sandwiches, when in reality, what you get looks like Prince Fielder fell on it.

[twinsnorth49]

Just tuned in, 14 LOB by the Dodgers?....who has the horseshoe up their a**?

[LaBombo]

Intermission music before walkup was Van Morrison's 'Wild Night". Reminds me that his show at the U of M's Northrop was not only the worst live music show I've ever seen, it actually made me pursue a refund.

 

And VF's 'Blister in the Sun' shows up in the walkup for... I don't know, Escobar, Florimon, insert random AAAA name here...

[thetank]

Eleven walks for the 'Aim at their bats' pitching staff.

 

Dozier on his way from 'poor man's Knoblauch' to 'affordable Knoblauch Light'.

He needs to hit higher than .225. On any contending team he would coming in for defensive replacement.

I've seen Van stink up the joint more than once. What a crotchety old fart.

There's a movie that asks that very same question....

[cmathewson]

That's some country hard ball there.

[snepp]

His .350 OBP and .450 SLG say otherwise.

[Guest USAFChief]

Usually once is enough for most folks.

[thetank]

Is Collabello 2 for his last 20 with 1 RBI? Hope it is just a blip.

[Gibby]

Usually once is enough for most folks.

 

I used to cater on the road for bands. I've seen some bands hundreds of times.

[Joe A. Preusser]

Quite a game. Also sounds like May had a hell of an outing.

[LaBombo]

Did he look like he would rather be having a prostate exam? He performed a song list that seemed designed to simultaneously offend dedicated fans and disappoint the casual ones.

 

Don't remember him speaking to the audience. Encore fail, no doubt due to lukewarm applause.

[Gibby]

He looked like he was having a prostate exam. He used to throw a hissy if he saw anyone drinking alcohol too.

[Guest USAFChief]

Even Dickert are getting sarcastic.

[Beezer07]

His .350 OBP and .450 SLG say otherwise.

 

Contending teams don't care about such nerd concerns. An .800 OPS from your above-average defensively 2B? Pass.

[Joe A. Preusser]

My sarcasm meter just shorted out.

[stringer bell]

1, 2, 3!

He does have hustle, grit, and dashing good looks going for him though, so I guess he can stick around for a while.

It doesn't go to 11?

And his hair is fabulous.
