Game Thread: Twins @ Orioles, 8/31 @ 12:35pm CT

Not a good inning for the Twins, unless you take draft order into account.

[big dog]

I vote Nolasco stays in for the rest of the game.  He's killed this bullpen long enough.

 

 

--edit--and, as seems to happen a lot lately, Gardy disagrees with me.  And who's coming in?  Some young gun who needs game experience?  Nope, Swarzak.  Yesterday?  Duensing and Burton.  I vote to give Pressly some more chances.  Instead Gardy probably wants Guardado back.

Carnac: "2 bucks in labor"

Ed: That sounds like a bargain.  I just took my Mercedes in for a tune-up and....

Carnac: Really? That's the best you can come up with?
Ed: Forgive me for any lack of eloquence.  Evidently I am once again overwhelmed by your radiance.

Carnac: A flashlight with worn out AA batteries would also do the trick.

Ed: You do yourself a disservice, your Magnific--- hey, waitaminnit!

Carnac: You're quick.

Ed: May a bad person come and do a bad thing to you.

Carnac: Leave the mythic curses to me, for your own good.

Ed: Would you be so kind, then, as to open the envelope?

Carnac: What happens soon after, to a couple of male deer after their sex-change operations?

LOL... I'm just saying... Warren Minnesota is a special place.

 

The Warren Municipal Liquor Store: Case of Bud Light $15.99... Bud Light Keg with Tap $17.99.

I just googled "Warren Municipal Liquor Store" and your post was on the second page of hits.  Google seems to be watching this thread.

Hey-yo!

I wonder what the most runs given up for 9 innings of work.

 

There has to be a time... At least once... Where a manager walked out to the mound and said... "Screw this" you're staying in... Finish the game and we are flying you out to Charlotte in the morning.

Hey-yo!

Speaking of draft order, Ed wants me to crack open a nice cold can of Bud!

[JB_Iowa]

Quick, somebody, tell me again why we watch this?

[Winston Smith]

Sigh................

Good thing.  The moderators seem to have taken a holiday.

[big dog]

Do you see the ad behind home plate?  "Ollie's Bargain Outlet"?  That's a little non-traditional.  I wonder if they have an outlet in Warren MN?

 

AND SWARZAK COMES THROUGH!!! Geez, there goes Nolasco's ERA.

 

Looking forward to 2015!

LOL... That's awesome... I now need help from the internet experts.

 

How can I get it boosted to the 1st page?

 

It should be easy since There isn't a Warren Municipal Liquor Store.

[Willihammer]

Hardy? We didn't need him

Player: But we don't have a farm club in Charlotte.

Manager: ...

Well, he wouldn't have gotten to hit off our staff so it wouldn't have worked out that well for him.

 

Anthony- just start hitting guys.  That way it's only one base at a time.

Include the quotes in your search: ' "Warren Municipal Liquor Store" ' has only one response.

This game is getting Clint Howard Ugly for the Twins!!!

[GCTF]

Nolasco happens.

Also Swarzak.

[ashbury]

For two dollars more, we can have a doubleheader.

[JB_Iowa]

So Brian, were the walleye and chicken at Mick's or Melody's?

I think that helped you a lot.

Unfortunately, if you buy the doubleheader they then offer you the memory wipe for $3,000.

[USAFChief]

You can see the "give up" in the Twins body language pretty clearly today, no?

 

That's why we need some new management, IMO.

Melody's

Agreed, and that's why I want to leave the players in Rochester as long as humanly possible.  I have not been anti-Gardy at all (not necessarily pro, but not anti), but he's completely lost me here at the end of the year.  He's managing like a guy who can't wait to retire.

[Winston Smith]

 The good thing is with the same front office and coaching staff coming back we can expect more of this next year.

 

Sorry this is making me sad.

You pretty much could have typed anything before the part I bolded.

[ashbury]

I think that helped you a lot.

Fluorescent giraffe door knockers also may come in handy at times.

Only one hole to fill on this roster.....
