Game Thread: Twins v Astros, 6/8 @ 1:10pm CT

[Riverbrian]

She just graduated from HS last week. She hasn't even had a practice with them yet. It's just an exhibition, she's nervous, but she will kick butt. It's a shame she is only 5'6". She is one of the best setters I have ever watched play.

 

A Setter? That's her photo you use for your avatar?

 

I thought she looked more like a Weimaraner.

She's actually half Weimaraner and half Slovakian Rough Coated Pointer.

[Riverbrian]

Just think how much more popular Catcher in the Rye would have been with a more suggestive title than one implying baseball and agriculture.

 

I think I read Catcher in the Rye by accident. I thought it was about baseball and all it did was make me angry at John Lennon.

[ashbury]

Well, looks like I need a bigger yard.

It took every available mod to break it up...

And half the German Shepherd from down the street who got loose that one night.

I was once a "Rough Coated Painter" so I got fired from my painting job.

Dont' worry. As long as she was born here, she's still a US citizen.

Don't quit your radio gig just yet, Bri.

Eh, Gibby has shown he can take a punch.

At least you didn't tell off your dad and leave home for good...

 

[Gibby]

She was actually bred that way for a reason. I don't hunt, but I let her go into the field with her siblings. They are actually pretty impressive, and she points like a champ.

You're not Slovakian. That's how they like 'em.

[Guest USAFChief]

If I'm not mistaken, the game TK is talking about is on in the background at Tom Cruise's house in A Few Good Men.

Where's the groan button?

[LaBombo]

Eh, Gibby has shown he can take a punch.

 

No offense to Brian, but I wasn't worried about Gibby in this case.

[Squirrel]

Okay ... closet done ... cleaning the bathrooms is next ... yes, more interesting than the game ...

 

Welcome to the Twins, Señor Morales.

[snepp]

I need a much bigger yard.

[kydoty]

Anybody else turn away and thought they were just replaying the first grand slam?

[Riverbrian]

You're not Slovakian. That's how they like 'em.

 

True... German and Norwegian... Shepherd and Elkhound I assume.

[Guest USAFChief]

So does the Twins staff.

Welcome to the Twins, Señor Morales.

 

Can he pitch?

[Gibby]

Yeah, don't scrap with the bipolar, they just wont quit no matter how beat up they get.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hmmm...

 

2 grand slams.

 

Things are looking pretty grim for a rubber game.

 

Can we score 3 runs per out in this inning?

 

I still hold out hope, especially with that aforementioned bench we can call on.

[LaBombo]

I need a much bigger yard.

 

Maybe just save your money and mow the nice old lady's yard across the street during blowout losses to terrible teams.

[LaBombo]

If you've got an hour to kill, stick around and you might find out...

[Gibby]

We took care of the elderly couple next door for a couple years. Took them to the store, mowed, weeded, shoveled snow...When they passed away, they left us their house, much to the chagrin of their 3 children, all of whom lived in town, and I had never laid eyes on.

Unfortunately they both had their yards mowed by the time I got out there.

Wow... That must have felt a little strange. Nice... But strange.

Hey-yo!
