Game Thread: Twins @ Angels, 6/25 @ 9:05pm CT

Is there a score?

 

And yup, now it's 3-1, Angels ...

[Trevor0333]

Pino's leaving them up, please don't make us listen to Blyleven spew that all night.

[LaBombo]

Is there a score?

 

Always. It's just a question of who's in on it...

 

[Gibby]

Kind of waiting for the inevitable ... was 1-0 Twins, now it's 1-1 ... might go higher before the inning is over ...

 

Gracias.

[LaBombo]

And yup, now it's 3-1, Angels ...

 

I blame the roaming gnome's lineup posting policy...

Hey' date=' cut me some slack. I had no clue who they were and had to do some research. "Lady" was the song I remembered from my pre-10 age. I have now listened to "Happy Anniversary" and have combed my hair correctly.

 

For the life of me, I cannot get "Night Owls" to play on YouTube - each option!

 

I did read this comment to that song and I urinated in my pants a tad - here it is:

 

[b']People wanted them to rock out from their ballad - style songs. And they did it with this song in "81. I was cruising my muscle car when this song was playing on the radio; I was working as a bouncer back then w/ all kinds of ladies for the night. This song defined me as a guy & what the game was. Thanks for posting it.

[/b]

 

 

LOL... LRB was all about the harmonies. They did that quite well. But if this guy in the muscle car thought he was rocking out to Night Owls in '81... He probably didn't hear Fair Warning from Van Halen or For Those About To Rock by AC/DC.

 

Or Diary of a Madman!!!

[stringer bell]

Two hours before game time is fine. I am sure the manager has a tentative plan, but he probably has to check on a number of "nicks" and bruises.

lol ... I'm calling brat, but lovingly.

Dick and Bert just SAVAGING Hicks. Last I checked (a couple days ago) Hicks had a higher OBP than Mauer.

[Riverbrian]

Santana Hurt

[JB_Iowa]

Hope that's just a charley horse.

I'm glad I'm getting the Angel's feed.

oh triple crap.

[curt1965]

That's just sick......

[JB_Iowa]

Well cr*d.

[Squirrel]

oh triple crap.

 

Triple that ... pflo in ...

[Riverbrian]

He's gonna be bummed if he gets DL'ed.

 

Florimon the only option.

[LaBombo]

Gracias.

Hats for bats available on request.

 

On a note actually related to baseball (!), the Hicks assignment to AA was...surprising.

 

And now Santana is injured.

 

Huh.

[jokin]

Dick and Bert just SAVAGING Hicks. Last I checked (a couple days ago) Hicks had a higher OBP than Mauer.

 

Getting the Slowey-Lohse treatment. Will hold off on a final conclusion...pending crarko's effort to provide media-conspiracy-debunk-worthy optics...

Are there Voo-doo priests available in the vicinity of New Britain?

[Riverbrian]

If Santana is out for an extended time.

 

We have no backup at SS 2B 3B and CF.

 

Do we got a guy on the roster who can cover all 4?

[curt1965]

He's gonna be bummed if he gets DL'ed.

 

Florimon the only option.

I'm going to be the one who is bummed.......

Sounds like Nunez is headed for a rehab assignment.

 

Plouffe (not that he can do all of those) is scheduled to start "working out" with the team in Texas.

 

....not looking promising.

 

Doug Bernier, this may be your opportunity.

Doug Bernier, this may be your opportunity.

 

I thought Plouffe was going to be working out with the team this weekend with likely activation on Monday. He was never going to do a rehab assignment, so, if he comes back, then Esco moves to short. But yeah, still stuck with pflo as a backup.

I'm seriously asking ... what is timely? I don't think 3-4 hrs prior to the game is something to be considered amiss for a manager, but then maybe it is? It seems fine to me despite some impatience to want it as early as possible. And since I do put up the lineups most days, I don't think the Twins lineups appear all that much later than everyone else's and often at the same time or earlier.

 

Beg to differ. I get notices when rotoworld and other services post the lineups. Almost invariably it's the other team first and if you scan across all the games that start during the same window that the Twins are in the Twins always are the last to post. Not a big deal, really, just an observation.

Santana out, Florimon in

Aren't they in Texas this weekend?

Well, I think your observation is a bit slanted is all.

The Twins already chose to play shorthanded with the 13-man staff, if Santana will only be listed as day-to-day until Monday, they have to bring up an infielder until they're sure that Plouffe/Nunez are ready to go.

LOL... LRB was all about the harmonies. They did that quite well. But if this guy in the muscle car thought he was rocking out to Night Owls in '81... He probably didn't hear Fair Warning from Van Halen or For Those About To Rock by AC/DC.

 

Or Diary of a Madman!!!

 

... or Ace of Spades, that was released in late 1980.
