Game Thread: Twins v White Sox, 6/19 @ 7:10pm CT (weather permitting)

Well, heck on that double.

[JB_Iowa]

But nice that it didn't shake him.

[Guest USAFChief]

No. 1 pick having a good debut:

 

 

• Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 2m
  Nick Gordon adds a 9th-inning double in his pro debut. Make it 3 for 5 with walk, 2 runs and a double for No. 5 overall draft pick.
  

Get him on a plane to MSP, stat!

[Twinsoholic]

Pino is battling his tail off--really!

[Tibs]

Hammer Time!!!

[JB_Iowa]

Way to go, Willy!!!

[Whammy]

Oh my

[curt1965]

Looked like a Killebrew shot!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Now let's get him some immediate run support.

 

Wouldn't that be a nice change???

 

1 run, courtesy of Willingham, bottom of the second.

 

Not quite immediate, but so far, so good...

[Trautmann13]

How can you guys be tired of Bert, when he just reaches back and pulls out that great call for HAMMER TIME!

[Guest USAFChief]

I heard that shot off the bat all the way in Tucson. And I have the sound down on my TV.

[Gibby]

I heart Suzuki.

And a reference to Coors Light hangovers

'Twas indeed a good at bat by Mr. Suzuki.

 

I hope Parmelee can get him in.

[Gibby]

That was damn near Twins Baseball!

Nice. That was a shot, wow wonder what they measure that one at?

[Gibby]

Esco is good for a double here.

[Squirrel]

You guys need to have some control. You are jinxing the heck out of this game. Do you wanna lose or something?

I don't believe in magic.

I'd love to know what was going through Pino's mind these couple hours. There aren't many times in your life where you can stand back and say "this is it," and really mean it.

 

I hope it's the best cup of coffee he's ever tasted.

Sorry... I'll try to do better.

 

At least we're keepin' the scope of the jinx within reason. Only 1 batter at a time (i think)

 

But that brings to mind... We're always worried about jinxin' players in the game.

 

Have we ever given thought to not jinxin' the front office?

[Gibby]

I went out to a new joint in St Paul, on Selby. I was with my wife and daughter, I had an entire pint of ale dumped in my lap, but I was having such a good time, it didn't bother me a bit. I am rarely that happy in Minnesota restaurants.

Don't worry, I only use my powers for good

Somewhere, John Sebastion just shed a tear.

Was it your wife or daughter who dumped the pint in your lap?

Hey Charger. I know that feeling, it's awesome.

Did they wring your pants out and give you a straw at least?

[Gibby]

Daughter. She's one of those people that are hard to get mad at.

[Gibby]

They were very cool, but I've been out fighting a flood, so I've been wet all day. The beer in the lap was nothing.

That was a set up for Chief, but you nailed it.
