Game Thread: Twins @ Athletics, 8/8 @ 9:05pm CT

[Riverbrian]

Tried that on one of my customers earlier this week. He was not amused.

At work... I always need to ASAP information from New York at 5PM and ASAP info from Los Angeles at 8AM.

 

So... Like always I'm forced to make up stuff on reports due right now.

[Riverbrian]

Mmmm, hot cocoa. Although that tends to make me sleepy, but still mmmm.

I'm usually excited to see Hot Cocoa until I burn my tongue on the first sip.

[Riverbrian]

Meh. Just switch everybody to UTC. Then no one will know when it is.

Perfect... So it's 1:48AM right now and it's 1:48 around the entire world. Everybody is sleeping and we all go to work at the same time.

 

In 6 hours we gotta be at work.

Hopes for today fall on the shoulders of Kyle Gibson. He needs to hold down the A's and somebody needs to supply offense.

[Squirrel]

But I kind if like when flying from Auckland to Chicago, getting home about the same time I left.

[Craig Arko]

Ponder in. Just in time to change channels.

Supplying Offense is the key. If you are holding someone down... It easiest if someone else took his wallet while you do.

[Craig Arko]

Time, time. It's just a bunch of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.

[Riverbrian]

Yeah but you have to reset your watch and you threw away the instructions on how to do that when you threw away the box it came in... About a day after you bought the watch and used the instructions to set it for the first time.

"Who is it, man?
 

"It's Dave."

 

...

 

"Dave?"

 

"Yeah, Dave."

 

...

 

 

"Dave's not here, man."

 

"No I'M Dave."

 

"Dave??"

 

"Yeah, Dave."

 

...

 

 

"Dave's not here, man."

In the immortal words of Tommy Chong, "I'm not into time, man."

Tommy Chong also said "I think were parked man" along with "If we have to wear uniforms... We should all wear something different". And "Dave's not here".

Time for a ball game, me thinks.

 

(i bet i can dig up a interesting time quote, if i think hard...)

[Riverbrian]

Alright enough Vikes... Twins time.

[stringer bell]

Thoughts--which side is Santana better from?

[Riverbrian]

Thoughts--which side is Santana better from?

Well I just saw the scroll below say that Worley threw 7IP with 1 run allowed tonight. His ERA is now 2.30

 

So... To answer your question... Based on Worley... I'd have to assume that Santana would be better playing for the other side.

[GCTF]

Quick and painless.

[Craig Arko]

Thoughts--which side is Santana better from?

The winning side.

[Riverbrian]

Quick and painless.

I think Kazmir is quietly going Shhhhhhh... As he pitches.

[USAFChief]

You can cancel the post game presser.

 

For the visitors.

[teekz]

Meh. Just switch everybody to UTC. Then no one will know when it is.

 

I've always said let's all go to one time.

[Riverbrian]

Thoughts--which side is Santana better from?

In all seriousness... The left side for sure. His dingers come from that side and he can utilize his speed better.

[stringer bell]

Keep the K's coming.

[GCTF]

At this rate this game has a chance of being finished on Friday.

[Squirrel]

Damn it, Chief! That alarm clock idea didn't work. You neglected to remind me to set it for 9pm not am.

[teekz]

What are his splits?

[teekz]

Set your alarm for 9pm. That's what time the game starts.

[Riverbrian]

At this rate this game has a chance of being finished on Friday.

Look at all those empty seats... Even Oaklandites can't stay up this late.

[Riverbrian]

What are his splits?

I was using my eyeball... If the Right side is better I'm claiming small sample size.

[Craig Arko]

What are his splits?

Not quite as deep as Jean-Claude van Damme's.
