[Craig Arko]

Yankees shelled David Price. Tigers continue to fade.

[Bark's Lounge]

Nifty play there Dozier. I likey.

[crapforks]

turned on the game just in time for that Dozier DP. Rad.

[alskntwnsfn]

Whoa, what's with the purple guy behind home plate

ballin.

[crapforks]

Damn, Alex

[Craig Arko]

Hendriks looks bulkier than I remember him.

[JB_Iowa]

Hendriks looks bulkier than I remember him.

 

Still first time through the order, though.

 

I seem to have memories of the 5th and 6th inning -- but then that's what I think about every Twins pitcher.

[stringer bell]

Hughes not getting any swings and misses.

[stringer bell]

Hughes not getting any swings and misses.

But he got a called third.

[alskntwnsfn]

But he got a called third.

It was a ball by a lot, but yeah he got the call.

[alskntwnsfn]

That's what happens when the ump sets up way inside.

[teekz]

Wow. 12 straight now. Can we buy a hit?

[alskntwnsfn]

Too early to call him Cy Hendriks

[notoriousgod71]

Could Hendricks do the impossible???

[USAFChief]

Whoa, what's with the purple guy behind home plate

Mrs Chief had the same question.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Too early to call him Cy Hendriks

Never too early

 

(Coming from a guy who just praised the offense on another thread)

[teekz]

Hey. Sweater vests are in right now. Didn't you get the memo?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

We're seeing some pancreatic pitching performances from Hendricks and Hughes tonight..

[teekz]

4 innings over and it hasn't even been an hour.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So they add a dollar to the fund every time someone avoids a responsibility.  It's pretty big now.

 

What do ya do with a good ditching pool?

[teekz]

There goes the perfect game...

[USAFChief]

You can cancel the postgame presser.

[LaBombo]

4 innings over and it hasn't even been an hour.

They're overdue for a string of games that don't go over three hours.  Or over four, for that matter.

 

Twins must have yelled at Hughes from the dugout that TD game thread is worried about no swings and misses.  Nice slider to get Perez on a bad swing.

After watching the Detroit games over the weekend, I totally agree.

[Willihammer]

What do ya do with a good ditching pool?

Is that like a swamp cooler?

[teekz]

Ha. We're just as far into the game as Detroit. And we started an hour later.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Is that like a swamp cooler?

 

Nah, just a bad attempt at a spoonerism joke...

 

Tell me about this swamp cooler.  It sounds cool.

[teekz]

Dang he can fly

[USAFChief]

It's weird...I normally don't like lengthy games.  But since I was AT two of the Detroit games, I wouldn't have minded if they had went 20 hours.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Everybody in Minnesota knew Schafer might try to bunt and then attempt to steal second. And there he stands.

 

He's got the head first slide perfected. That's why you do it.
