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

[JB_Iowa]

Well, they could bring up Colabello (already on the 40) but it doesn't do much for the infield.

'What's up, little man. I'm your new dad'.

 

Sorry, well beyond time to move on. Let's talk more about why we didn't draft Smallmouth.

[Riverbrian]

RB...going out on that limb, yet again? This one burst a whole lot faster than the 2013 Albers Bubble, didn't it, though?

 

And in answer to your second question---> DougB has the major league experience and acquitted himself well in last year's call-up. I just wish they'd just listened to me in the first place last weekend.

 

I ofter wonder why the Twins don't pick up the phone and call me. I see they ain't calling you either.

 

They don't seem very inclusive!!!

[JB_Iowa]

PLEASE can we have a moratorium on that photo?? It has moved beyond Ish to ICK!

[Riverbrian]

Is left knee soreness worse than hammy problems?

 

Sore is an awfully broad term. I knew someone who cracked his femur bone in half and he was pretty sore.

 

My wife gave Birth and she was pretty sore.

 

Oddly she did it again. Didn't learn from the first time.

[JB_Iowa]

I think I found a girlfriend for creepy meat guy.

 

Have you seen the Direct TV commerical with the blond marionette? She'd be perfect for him.

  And Gardy made it clear over the weekend he wanted another position player, but was not granted that request.
  

 

I heard Gardy interviewed on his weekly radio show on Sunday saying he wanted this. Later on the pregame show, they were interviewing Terry Ryan and mentioned this. Ryan basically implied that he did not think a roster change like that was necessary. I thought it was a little odd at the time, because it seemed like Ryan seemed almost dismissive of Gardy when saying he did not think it was necessary.

[Riverbrian]

Did you say memorium or moratorium? With Spell Check... You can never be totally sure.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Honestly Nunez insisted he was ready but Gardy said no he wasn't. That was what, a week ago?

[curt1965]

Fryer....Fuld, and Floriman-now that's an exciting inning!

[jokin]

Sore is an awfully broad term. I knew someone who cracked his femur bone in half and he was pretty sore.

 

My wife gave Birth and she was pretty sore.

 

Oddly she did it again. Didn't learn from the first time.

 

As the arrival of our first child neared, my wife was fully intent and hard-charging on the importance of natural, medication-free child-birth. On about her second major contraction, and in an other-wordly voice, she shouted out "DRUGS!!!"

Geez. Santana going down made my belly ache like a was 17 and dumped by a girlfriend. The 3 F's are not gonna cut. 1 is bad enough - offensively.

 

FFF = AAA = Lookin like 2011

[KOHG]

This angels lineup is good like 4th in all of baseball in runs! After Gibson performance yesterday and now Pino I am going to hold off judgement until a few more starts from Pino. It also looks like both pitchers are getting sqeezed this game.

 

I am just hoping the Santana injury isn't the knee....This team and prospects and injures is unbelievable.

[Bark's Lounge]

Memorium has to be the answer.

[LaBombo]

Gardy is going to be just hilarious in tonight's post game comments-as always...

When she's shouting drugs!!! It's a pretty real moment.

[JB_Iowa]

Moratorium means More?

 

Yes, but of Toriums. Twins still trying to figure out where 'Tories' figure into draft, roster, and salary. That said, fingers crossed!

ugh, he's batting more and more like the beer softball league guy he's shaped like.

• Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 9m
  Did it last year right here w/Butera RT @johnwil08956134: @MikeBerardino Sorry, twins don't fly guys cross country to play a single game.
   
   
  But isn't the problem that this was a pretty late night game on the east coast and tomorrow's game starts at 12:35 Pacific.
   
  Pretty short timeline to get someone there.
   
   
  

[LaBombo]

Nice catch by Fuld. Couple of turns. It happens. Just not in half-dozens, on a single fly.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Heckuva game, too.
