[Brock Beauchamp]

I'm drunk so let's play two.

[Craig Arko]

Time for all of you to take the Ice Bucket Challenge.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

You guys will all be asleep in your seats by the third inning...

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

My prediction for the nightcap (no not THAT nightcap):

 

Twins 18, Tigers 5.

 

I know that's going out on a limb

[Brock Beauchamp]

You guys will all be asleep in your seats by the third inning...

That's pretty much a guarantee for me.

Hopefully the Twins keep doing what they have been the last 24 hours. 
My prediction: Twins 7 Tigers 3.

May goes 7 IP 2 ER 6K 1BB for his first win.

That's when they need the Ice Bucket Challenge!

[Craig Arko]

Complete with videos.

Wait. You mean there are more innings after the third?

[Thegrin]

I want to see May throw more than low 90's fastballs and strike out somebody

A lost scene from "The Rifleman"...

 

Lucas McCain: "Get your chores done, Mark. The Twins are going to start any minute now."

 

Mark: "That's great, Pa! First I want to read Twins Daily. That Riverbrian and ChiTown are sure humorous, I must say."

 

Lucas: "That they are. But they're not doing their normal pregame commentary today. I hear both had too much fun last night down at the saloon in North Fork with the Mods Club."

 

Mark: "Goodness. It won't seem like a Twins game without their lively banter."

 

Lucas: "Banter? Is that a new word you learned from that pretty little Sue Ostegaard girl next ranch over?"

 

Mark: (embarrassed) "Well, yeah, Pa. And she did want to meet me in the barn before the game to see her etchings. What does that mean, Pa?"

 

Lucas: "Darned if I know, son. Wish your mother was alive. Oh! On your way to the barn, don't trip over the dead Mexican I shot earlier today. Hurry up now. I don't want you to miss Santana's first AB."

 

Mark: "Sure thing, Pa!"

[Craig Arko]

Better call Micah.

I am trusting the moderators at the game are not going to do anything that will reflect poorly on TD and damage its reputation as the premier site for sophisticated baseball analysis in a dignified professional environment.

Don't do anything foolish! Ya' know, like expecting the Twins to score 5 or more runs, or counting on RB to make sense!

[LaBombo]

If I'm in asleep in my seat in the third it will be because I've badly overestimated the quantity of spirits on hand.

[mikeee]

I am still here and awake.  lol

Unless it's done nude except for a TD beauty contest-style banner and a Twins hat.  Then it's all good.

Meaningless Vikings preseason game or meaningless regular season Twins game?

Thank heavens you're not in the nosebleed seats in the Dome.  Those gave me the willies even stone sober as a kid with good balance.

Maybe Vikes can run a two point conversion and get back the PAT the Twins missed last night.

[mikeee]

rats on the double play.  It's the second inning.  they must score 6 runs.
