Game Thread: Twins @ Giants, 5/23 @ 9:15pm CT

[Twinsoholic]

Didn't Gibson recently give up a homer (not last game) after something did not go as hoped in the field? I make be confusing Gibson with another starter, but it seemed to me it was him.

[MichiganTwins]

I apologize for that. We had a power failure at work. It's causes major issues and killed my computer so I couldn't log on.

 

finally got things back to normal and got home just in time for first pitch.

 

The next eight innings will be ours. Hopefully the power outage doesn't put us in a too big of hole.

[longstrangetrip]

Gibson should not be allowed to golf the day before a start. This is looking like the last time he pitched after golfing in Tampa

[Riverbrian]

I don't know...

 

"Play ball" is traditional.

 

I bet i could come up with worse. Both to the game and the game thread...

 

Got to admit... It was darn concise.

Did he do Pebble Beach with Hicks?

[JB_Iowa]

• Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 2m
  Just the 2nd homer off Gibson this year. Miguel Cabrera had the other on 5/10 at DET.
   
   
  Seems like more, doesn't it?

Got to admit... It was darn concise.

And my stellar lead in was wasted. (Yes, I'm being sarcastic; I was running late when I finally got the lineups posted.)

[Halsey Hall]

How does Plouffe not have 2 errors? For sure one, he's a lucky guy.

[longstrangetrip]

Don't know for sure, but it looks like it. I'm here at ATT, and he looked really stiff in the bullpen pregame

 

Edit: reply to question if he was at pebble beach with hicks

[Riverbrian]

I actually read it that way for a long time as well. I suppose it is only natural to see the word brain after reading his well-constructed essay style game thread starter posts as well as his shorter observations... or something like that...

 

I once received an Email from way up high in the corporation. It was a congrats... Job well done... People like you make this company great email. It was high up the ladder... far enough that you'd never expect to get it. You'd never think he'd know your name.

 

It was addressed to "Brain".

[JB_Iowa]

Hicks apparently played with Joe Mauer's brother, Bill. And shot an 80 -- first time out at Pebble. Daddy apparently taught him well.

 

No idea if Gibson played.

Well... At least we were still in sync.

[Squirrel]

Hey, longstrangetrip, get ready for the Journey sing-along. 'When the lights go down in the city, and the sun shines on the bay ...'

Autocomplete?

 

Some people are so good at it they don't even need a computer to do it for them...

 

(And we got 2 on, so maybe we can get something back. I hope...)

[Gibby]

I want to know more about Chitown hanging on some guys boat.

This is why I always tell people that spell check is NOT proofreading

[Gibby]

I'm going to be hanging on my boat this weekend, but my boat is about 12' long, powered with a mighty Honda 6 horse.

[Squirrel]

Aww ... it's fun either way.

[kydoty]

God I hate National League baseball.

[Riverbrian]

If you're going to San Francisco... You're gonna meet some gentle people there.

 

Gentle people with flowers in their hair.

Hmm

[Riverbrian]

I got one of those in my bathtub.

[Gibby]

I got one of those in my bathtub.

 

The missus wont let me keep it there.

[Squirrel]

I love San Francisco. It's one of my favorite cities. To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.

[longstrangetrip]

Aww ... it's fun either way.

 

You're right, chi. I got a little crabby after the Pablo dinger. Got the attitude adjusted now!

[MichiganTwins]

I got one of those in my bathtub.

 

This is creepily ambiguous. What are we talking about?

[Riverbrian]

The missus wont let me keep it there.

 

Did you tell her it works like a soap dish.

[Gibby]

I love San Francisco. It's one of my favorite cities. To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.

 

I like it too, but it's always a buzzkill every time I get a bill.

[Squirrel]

Lol! It's always fun walking in on the middle of a conversation.
