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

[LaBombo]

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.

Virtue is its own reward, but sometimes it throws a little bonus your way to remind you.

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

 

We thought about giving it up, but their kids were jerks.

[JB_Iowa]

And it ends ... thank heavens.

On the bright side, this series has gifted the Twins with a chance to dramatically outperform their season Pythagorean projection for the next several weeks. Thanks for making a bad game fun, everyone!

Final Wishes are to be honored. That'd be an easy call.

[Gibby]

Thanks for the laughs. Y'all have a good one.

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

 

You don't need to worry about Brian either. Brian doesn't know the meaning of the word 'quit'.

 

 

Brian doesn't know the meaning of a lot of other words either.

As if a 14-5 beat-down wasn't enough, the hits just keep on comin'.

Plus, it was worth money.

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.

 

My daughter is the perfect road trip companion. Seldom needs a bathroom break, and would rather interact than zone out with the DVD player...

Well, if they'd had boys instead of girls, they would have just sent them next door to live once they hit their teens.

Our first dog was an Australian Cattle Dog, like in your gif. He was way to intelligent to have me as an owner and trainer.

It was cool having two houses next door to each other for a while. We called it The Compound.

Gibbybunkport! Sorry, couldn't resist. Time to go start burning perfectly good food on the grill. Enjoy the tournament; TD is pulling for the Slovakian Rough Painter!

Not sure it affects the Projection that much... The 9 run loss is mostly balanced out by yesterday's 8 run win. 1-2 series outscored 17-19.

 

I'm just sad we lost our first rubber game of the season. I have not yet lost faith in the rubber band though!

 

And yeah, i wish to associate myself with the above sentiment of makin' a game fun in spite of the outcome.
