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

[glunn]

I am off to dinner.  If this goes extra innings I will be back.  Dinner is about a 6 minute walk, depending on how the light breaks crossing Wilshire.

[Willihammer]

If anybody made it to that Hollywood Video on Franklin and Hennepin around 2005, there's a decent chance I rented you a video. I rented one to Walter Mondale's kid once, and the CEO of Dunn Bros (he rented Love Actually IIRC)

[Squirrel]

I agree.  But maybe this is a kid who might benefit from some low pressure long relief to build confidence with the least possible amount of pressure.

Maybe. But if he wants to be a starter, gotta deal.

[Squirrel]

By that logic, I would never drink tequila either.

Why? Are you allergic to tequila?

[Riverbrian]

You can't even use tonight as data for May.

 

It wasn't him.

 

No way he gets a sniff of even AAA with mechanics like that.

 

Give May another start. If he does it 2 more times... He's broken.

A 6 minute walk for food!!!

 

Kinda like a Lion having to catch the damn Zebra before eating it.

Next time pick a more upscale joint that offers wifi. Then you don't have to be without us.

[ashbury]

The joke I was trying to imply was "yes but it doesn't stop me".

Yes, because that's what his wife wants, too.

[Willihammer]

OK World Series favorites go

 

I pick A's. They seem to have the same kind of mojo the BoSox had last year.

Funny how quickly the video stores disappeared.  When I lived there there was Hollywood Video (before that Title Wave), Blockbuster, and Panorama video within two blocks.  They all were pretty full with customers when you went inside them.

 

Ok - now I think I can go to bed.

[Riverbrian]

Alright... I think we can all turn the game off now.

 

I'm saving some game thread for tomorrow.

 

Good Night... Don't let the Bed Bugs get in your shorts.

[teekz]

Well. This game is over

[Squirrel]

The joke I was trying to imply was "yes but it doesn't stop me".

Well, I don't particularly wish to die.

[ashbury]

Santana shouldn't have scored that run in the fifth.  Now we've gone and made the A's mad!

Heh, I worked at Title Wave for a brief moment.

Have fun, but the apparent intent to correlate the innings pitched by the Twins with the actual passage of time is a little hard to understand.

[teekz]

Yes, because that's what his wife wants, too.

Eh. My gf makes fun of me for continually posting. Of course so does everyone else now since my membership title is JarJar Binks...

[LaBombo]

Heh, I worked at Title Wave for a brief moment.

Just me, or is it easier to have fond, nostalgic memories of jobs like that when they're brief?

[ashbury]

You know what they say about having to explain a joke.  It means your audience either needs more sense of humor, or another shot of Maker's Mark.

[LaBombo]

The worm is there because why?  It seemed that a delightful young lady in Tijuana had concisely explained this for me, until I suddenly remembered that I didn't speak a word of Spanish besides Ci, Pesos?, and the chorus from La Bamba.

[ashbury]

 since my membership title is JarJar Binks...

Fixed it for you.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Fixed it for you.

 

Refreshing to see the entire words.

 

Sorry i have nothing useful to say.

 

I'm still rooting for a come back.  Or at least a character building experience.

[teekz]

Fixed it for you.

 

LMAO. Awesomeness!

[LaBombo]

Fixed it for you.

While we're on the subject, why is my avatar inside either a goldfish bowl or a 1950's TV set/bomb shelter?  Not complaining because awesome, just wondering why me/how come.  Haven't seen any others like it.

[teekz]

There is the start of the comeback...

Tequila will build some character.  Or, as the football coaches say, at least will reveal it.

Chitown is gonna have kiniption fit.

It's the only way it would fit Walters head
