Game Thread: Twins @ Royals, 8/27 @ 7:10pm CT

[Riverbrian]

73 runs scored combined in the Tigers series. And we have 4 combined thus far in Kansas City.

 

I gotta ask... Does anyone know a good whiplash lawyer?

[Riverbrian]

He just said 'Uff'? Not Uff da?

He wasn't Norwegian... He wasn't allowed to use the "da" part.

[teekz]

Twins keep advertising one between innings...

[stringer bell]

Phew. I thought Arcia might get wrapped up like a douche after that grab

[Squirrel]

Sigh.  I just can't watch anymore.

[GCTF]

Strike this scrub out.

[Riverbrian]

Are roo bars a real thing? Can we get some rally roo bars in honor of Liam?

 

I hope Mr. Hendriks pitches well. Though i think i also hope we hit him better...

An actual thing... I dated a girl from Australia and I remember her saying that American cars looked funny because they didn't have Roo Bars.

[Intramural Legend]

That does seem to be happening a lot this year

 

Is baserunning Molitor's purview?

 

No, Molitor gets credit for the good base running. It is clearly Gardy's fault when they screw up!

[GCTF]

That works too.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Is someone going to make an awful prediction about now?

 

That sounds precariously close to an awful prediction.

 

So, yes, say i.

The Boss...who says "hi" from Asbury Park, NJ.

[USAFChief]

Ohferpetesake.

[Mike Sixel]

Just noticed an odd fact......Mauer has the lowest SLG in the lineup. That is not some cheap shot, just fascinating to me.

[teekz]

Wow. Nothing has been hit well.

[Willihammer]

Mauer could have thrown him out from left field and preserved the tie

[stringer bell]

Wrong base? Guess not.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I'm 100% percent behind leaving Hughes in. We got some big hitters coming up in 9th.

[teekz]

Mauer could have thrown him out from left field and preserved the tie

 

Did you watch the one game Mauer played in right?

Bruce Springsteen from the album Greetings From Asbury Park. I believe it was 1973. And I didn't look it up... Thank You

[USAFChief]

Did you watch the one game Mauer played in right?

While I'm not Willi...I watched the one game, but I don't remember where I was sitting.

[Intramural Legend]

Whats the point of pulling Hughes here? Not a single ball is hit hard, and yet for some reason we need to drop this on him???  I'm not going to lie, thankfully football season is here

[stringer bell]

Wow, does this remind anyone of late innings in the Dome?

[Riverbrian]

Bruce Springsteen from the album Greetings From Asbury Park. I believe it was 1973. And I didn't look it up... Thank You

And And.... Manfred Mann's Earth Band covered two other songs from that same Springsteen album and had at least minor hits with them... What were the other two songs?

[stringer bell]

Duensing has been brutal the last couple weeks.

I'm going to say "Forgettable" and "My Next Album is Going to be would be Great Though!"

Not fair. You're a music professional.

[alskntwnsfn]

Still more than Mauer I'm sure.

[LaBombo]

The Boss.

Common misconception.  Actually it was Bruce.

 

My cousin Bruce.  We were fishing with my other cousin, Larry (no really), from a gravel road in central Minnesota.  Larry 'caught' Bruce in the neck with a Daredevil, and my grandma drove us at just under the speed of sound in her Pontiac (police interceptor version) Tempest to the closest retired country doctor's lake home.

 

Bruce semi-fainted and bonked his head a bit, and we agrees on the way that the light that he saw was significant and should be commemorated, even if everything else he saw seemed like pure rubbish at the time.  My panicky Etch-a-sketch recording of his vision is the song classic you know today.

 

Oh, and Bruce survived the Daredevil strike.  He owns a bowling alley and is a great dad.

[Intramural Legend]

If only we had a guy that doesn't throw balls!

[alskntwnsfn]

Good pitch but guaranteed fastball there. Not well hit but still.
