Game Thread: Twins @ Royals, 8/28 @ 7:10pm CT

[Riverbrian]

I thought the idea was a Carnac routine was supposed to make Glunn feel better.

What did Henry Ford Have?

[Riverbrian]

Carnac: "Deferred gratification".

Ed: Deferred gratification.

Carnac: Difficult to get anything past you, my friend.

Ed: You are too kind.

Carnac: Yes, actually I am.

Ed: <pauses> Thank you, your Magnificence. I think.

Carnac: If you call that thinking.

Ed: Perhaps you should open the envelope.

Carnac: What does an animal skinner get from his job?

What does an animal skinner get from his job?

[ashbury]

Thanks, ash.  That was better than Sominex.

FTFY.

[Riverbrian]

What does an animal skinner get from his job?

Oh Fur... I got it... That was good... I was slow

[Halsey Hall]

Time for an Arcia bomb. 

[Riverbrian]

What did Henry Ford Have?

A Knack for Cars!!!

 

It takes me while but when I start rolling... Get out of my way.

[stringer bell]

I do love Arcia's enthusiasm.

[glunn]

Time for an Arcia bomb. 

Nice call, and nice baserunning by Arcia.

[glunn]

A Knack for Cars!!!

 

It takes me while but when I start rolling... Get out of my way.

You are on fire today.  And tomorrow you will play vending machine roulette, and hopefully not get sticky.

[ashbury]

Time for an Arcia bomb. 

Close.

 

Neither Stringer nor I had this one in our possible scenarios.

 

_{^{/ and the chickens haven't hatched yet, either}}

[stringer bell]

Nice to have Mr. RBI on the bench.

[Riverbrian]

A car knack?

Yeah... That's on me.

 

I had concussions and no chance to heal as a kid.

[Riverbrian]

You are on fire today.  And tomorrow you will play vending machine roulette, and hopefully not get sticky.

I'll take the sticky... I just don't want to pay 60 cents for an empty can.

 

Someone at work is going to get the empty can... It's only a matter of time.

[glunn]

Nunez!!!

[Riverbrian]

Nunez needs to play more.

[USAFChief]

Nice to have Mr. RBI on the bench.

Nope...Nunez played the whole game.

[snepp]

Who is this team?!

[stringer bell]

Schafer!

[glunn]

I'll take the sticky... I just don't want to pay 60 cents for an empty can.

 

Someone at work is going to get the empty can... It's only a matter of time.

Be an optimist.  Maybe that can will be half full.

[USAFChief]

Ok, this one's over.  Perk never blows a lead.

 

Thanks all, I'm out...got a football game to watch yet tonight.  

[ashbury]

I'll take the sticky...

That's what sh-<mmphmphhmmmmphhh>

[ashbury]

Ok, this one's over.  Perk never blows a lead.

 

Thanks all, I'm out...got a football game to watch yet tonight.  

You won't like it... oops!

 

_{^{/ didn't actually look, of course}}

[glunn]

Nunez needs to play more.

And Dozier should get more days off.  Maybe Gardy could come up with a strategy based on that.

[USAFChief]

Be an optimist.  Maybe that can will be half full.

I agree...be an optimist.  Maybe the sticky stuff isn't dried soda.

[Riverbrian]

Be an optimist.  Maybe that can will be half full.

That made me laugh... Woke up my wife.

[ashbury]

Several Twins string together some hits and they get a couple of runs? 

 

 

You still scoff?

[Danchat]

I must admit, Jordan Schafer is playing out of his mind compared to how he played with the Braves. If he keeps playing well, I think the 4th OF spot is his in 2015.

[Riverbrian]

That double is gonna look lonely on the Dozier spray chart.

[stringer bell]

I am sure that Yost will be criticized for using Chen, but you do have to use everybody. And I wouldn't rule out the Royals yet. Dozier doubles, now I do.

[glunn]

According to the Royals' announcers, the Twins will land in Baltimore after 4:30 a.m.  I wish that I knew a bookie so I could bet on tomorrow's game.
