Okay, who here will be at the pub crawl?

[Willihammer]

In ice cream news, pistacchio ice cream with crunched up sugar cone on top is really good

[Riverbrian]

Lol ... talking about Vargas almost taking off Lowrie's man bits ...

The strange thing... If you ever catch one in that spot.

 

Your Kidneys is where it hurts.

[Squirrel]

I'm guessing each like triggers more database transactions than you might expect.

Yeah, I'm sure there's a technical reason for it, but since I'm not a tech head I couldn't even attempt a guess

[glunn]

Vargas looked pretty fast running to first.

 

Willingham needs to lay off the high fastballs.

 

I need to start thinking about dinner.

What brand has that?

I'll take your word on that. I wouldn't know.

Ok.. For the 2nd night in a row... It's past 10PM and I'm off to the freezer.

[Willihammer]

Stoneridge. Also more locally, Sebastian Joe's.

I am afraid of getting too wasted to enjoy the game that night.

I used to live down the street from Sebastian Joes on Franklin and Hennepin.

Always was a fan of the raspberry choc chip

I don't plan on drinking anything. Might taste a thing or two but will mostly stick to pop.

I used to live on Lake Street... Across from K-Mart and White Castles... And above a Rocky Rococco.

This is my go to place now.

[Squirrel]

Oh crap

[Riverbrian]

This is my go to place now.

Tonight... I'd probably order the Oysters... A Beer and I'd wink at the waitress.

Ya its all great innit. There's a place in Fridley called Grandpas, rumor is they make a mean pineapple. I'm up there next I think.

[glunn]

Maybe next time the Twins should have Deduno pitch the first few innings until the Twins are hopelessly behind then have May come in as long reliever with a lot less on the line?

Ice Cream is Better than sliced bread but sliced Bread gets all the credit.

We go there a lot.  There are two waitresses most nights and a lot of waiters.  They are all on a first name basis with my dog, who loves the calamari and the mushroom pizza.  The mushroom pizza is the best dish on the menu.  Also, I would never order oysters in a month without an "r".  I had a bad oyster experience in my youth.

What's on the line anyway? It's not like we're in the hunt for anything. It was his first MLB start. It's not like he's projected to be an ace type pitcher. While we were all hoping for better, I think some perspective is warranted here.

I did as well - and 90% of the time went for the raspberry choc chip with the waffle cone.   I also remember when Lyle's had the big  cheese block during happy hour just a block away.  Did not always eat healthy back then..

 

I don't think I am going to make it to the end- I am hoping that they will rally in the 7th and 8th and wint the game.  I will kick myself for going to bed and missing the comeback,  but I can live with that if it means a win.

[Willihammer]

Sheesh. Longest single of the year?

[Riverbrian]

No wind in the sails after May.

 

Deduno ain't breathing life into anything either.

 

I can't see a come back.

[Squirrel]

No oysters for me. Can't eat clams either. Unless I want to become deathly ill.

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.

Just a beer and a wink at the waitress for you

[ashbury]

By that logic, I would never drink tequila either.
