Game Thread: Twins v Mariners, 5/16 @ 7:10pm CT

In Wisconsin we drink cheap yellow beer and wax nostalgically about Aaron Rodgers in the off season, and during the NFL season, gripe about the "Mud Ducks"

 

Yeah and it's in exactly that order

[Riverbrian]

Sure there are, but on TV being attractive is required where radio does not have the attractiveness prerequisite.

 

Yet all the Musicians are supposedly hot... Somewhere in the universe... You'd think there was a really ugly toothless guy who can sing and play guitar.

Nevermind... I'm listening to Motörhead right now.

Depends on where you are... In Sweden you say(type) your name three times and then you throw your sister off a Cliff as a human sacrifice. It's the same method in Nebraska but they don't have any cliffs so they just have to suffer through it.

 

In Chile... You hang a horseshoe upside down over the entry of a door. This will actually force the bad luck to run out. The horses are pissed but they can't verbalize their disgust.

 

In Minnesota... You attend a church potluck and make out with someone named Gladys.

 

Global... Just spin around three times and spit.

 

Sisters are not not renewable resource, and i can well sympathize with the horses. I don't want to be hung up by shoes either.

 

I guess i hope they have church potlucks at Target Field...

 

Last ditch, i'll work on my dizzy spitting, but i wouldn't trust that very far.

 

I guess it's the ol' loose lips sink ships approach for me and jinx (excepting highjinx)

 

Thanks!

5. Difficult Tasks -- According to research... When people look at a long to-do list. The Majority of Americans tend to assess and tackle the most difficult task first. I must be in the minority... When doing these Game Thread introductions... I find that thought #5 is the most difficult to come up with. So I tried to switch it up and do thought #5 first and it didn't work... It just made thought #9 even harder.

 

My problem is i always seem to put making the to-do list on that list, and invariably it's the last thing i tackle...

 

But some day, i will do something useful, i'm sure of it!

[Riverbrian]

TK is really well spoken and has explained Gardy's rationale for roasting Hicks very clearly and intelligently. Man he has a face for radio.

 

And to be fair... TK is sitting right next to LaPanta. How many guys can survive that?

 

Diehard... John Bonnes.... After that the list dwindles.

 

They need to put TK next to Sid Hartman

[Riverbrian]

Strike one and off we go

[Riverbrian]

Dozier can make routine plays look routine. That's a cool thing about him.

[Riverbrian]

That's a bummer... Gibby may want to keep the runner closer so he doesn't beat a grounder to 2nd.

[Riverbrian]

Gibson don't worry about no WHIP.

[Riverbrian]

This is awesome... I got the Game Thread to myself... I can post naked and run around singing at the top of my lungs.

[JB_Iowa]

Score early ....

 

Score often

 

 

(Oh, and I've been relieved of about 1/2 of the political BS -- Nebraska had its primary on Tuesday. Now if we can get Iowa's over on June 3, we may have a month or so of relative peace!)

That's the HBO version, i think: The Game of Threads...

 

(Sorry, got distracted a moment, but caught the bases loaded >|)

Well that didn't work.

Hey... How ya Doin... (Puts clothes back on)

 

Iowa... Probably talking Ethanol.

[Twins Twerp]

I wonder how pissed chris young was when Jack stole that goose?

Not much. Republican Senate primary race getting very nasty -- 5 candidates.

 

And one of the front runners is a woman with guns all over one ad (she's pro, of course). Then one of the male front runners runs another ad with guns all over the place attacking her.

 

All gives me the willies.

Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum

 

Jack Z does a lot of things to piss the people of Seattle off.

 

The money I spent on rhyming classes seem to have been pointless.

  Colleges of last 4 pitchers to face #mntwins, going back to Thursday: Princeton (Young), UNC (Miller), Duke (Capuano), Yale (Breslow).
   
   
  Fortunately, it didn't help their pitching all that much.

They should just pace it off and turn around and fire.

[JB_Iowa]

Nothing like a tall 1st baseman.

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!!

 

I could go for an old fashioned duel with multiple participants. Draw straws for who goes first and the winner just keeps taking on the next one until its down to one.

 

Wonder if the party would go for that????

 

Would make for great TV.

For a second it looked like 'taking Ethanol' to me, and my reaction was "It's Gibson tonight, not Correia, right?"

A totem pole is pretty close.

I'd watch and it would cut special interest off at the knees.

 

I am Brilliant... Ain't I

Not good news:

 

 

• Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 6m
  Pelfrey threw innings of 1-run ball tonight for @rocredwings. 5 hits, 1 walk, 3 Ks. 81 pitches.
  
• 5 innings
  
• 
  I'm sure he needs much more rehab.
