Game Thread: Twins v White Sox, 6/21 @ 1:10pm CT

Now would be a good time to rack up some insurance runs and deplete the bad guys' bullpen so that they don't have much available tomorrow. Five or six runs should do it.

Hey, howaboutthat! My kids gave me a new ipad for my birthday too!

Is it just me or has Arcia had some bad luck the last two days? According to game cast he lined out twice yesterday and today he lined out and just missed a homer to dead center.

Not just you. He's hit the ball hard the last couple days.

Useless, random fact: Back in the day, a pickoff throw to first with the first baseman off the bag was called a balk.

I see what you did there.

This game is getting exciting in the wrong way

[Squirrel]

But that just helped

Well, it's like we all been sayin'...Guerrier should be getting these late game pressure situations and Fien should be pitchin' mopup.

It looks like Perk gets a crack at the top of the order.

It's nice to see that the shuffleboard club took control of the thread today. Please say hello to my gam gam for me and I will get out there to see her ASAP.

 

Prediction: Arcia is going to go yard

I'm hoping to see Deduno.

You're oh-for-two.

Had an event I had to go to - left my car and Corriea had just hit someone for the second Chicago score. I was glad to avoid what I assumed was going to be an epic meltdown. After the event was over, reluctantly turned the game back on -- lucky I did not get into an accident when I discovered Correa was still pitching in the sixth and the Twins were leading 4 to 2.

 

Driving home I was thinking - can't wait to get home and see what the TD board has to say. It was then I realized I might have some mental health issues and might need to seek outside help.

In Rochester.

Nice to see Parms contribute.

[longstrangetrip]

These Direct TV "wires" ads are beyond creepy...they can stop now.

Man, "In Rochester" turns out to be surprisingly adaptable.

...but I deserve an A+ for optimism... right?

[stringer bell]

Parm is swinging better than most Twins right now.

I'm not seeing the ads the teevee audience gets, but if you are referring to the one where the wife does the sexy dance in the bedroom but with "I've got daddy issues" written all over her face, then yep.

[stringer bell]

Nice defense.

[Guest USAFChief]

Perk tryin' to vulture another?

[Bark's Lounge]

In Rochester.

 

No, I am in St. Paul today. Thanks for asking.

[longstrangetrip]

Okay, we tolerated Perk's "blown save to allow him to get the win" bit last night, but we're not going to be so tolerant today.
