Fluorescent giraffe door knockers

 

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

FTFY.

Maybe someone should start a thread about that.

[JB_Iowa]

Melody's

 

I'd have guessed Mick's.  Sounds like it would be more of a bar than a restaurant.  

 

 

And did Melody's "make your tastebuds sing?"

[Riverbrian]

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.

Double Concurment with Chief and Big Dog.

 

I'm not anti-Gardy. I'd thank him... And I'd build him a statue outside of gate 14.

 

But... The next Twins manager needs to come in with steel toed boots.

[USAFChief]

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

"What knockers!"

 

"Oh, thank you doctor."

 

We haven't had a Mel Brooks movie quote day on a game thread in way too long, and 11-2 seems like a good time to me.

Loud Country music... So it was Melody with an accent.

I wondered who would go there, but didn't have time to set up a betting pool and put my money on you.

[ashbury]

Welp, Mrs Ash is giving the stink-eye

about some unfinished chores, and I can't in good conscience say "but the game isn't over".  Catch you all later.

Tell her Hi!!!

[Circus Boy]

Maybe I can watch the big comeback.

 

No. No, you won't.

[Riverbrian]

No. No, you won't.

Yeah I know.... It's going to be a big big big big big big comeback!!!

[Squirrel]

LOL... As the Animals once sang... Please don't let me be misunderstood.

 

 

Btw ... it's not a matter of being misunderstood, it's just that I'm already lost in the house of the rising sun.

 

(Sorry I'm so late at responding to the reference ... I got it, but my mind is splintering in too many directions right now.)

[GCTF]

Loud Country music... 

Sorry to hear your dining experience was completely ruined.

[Squirrel]

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

I'm not going to like this.  I'm just going to say I get it and I'm there with you.  :/

[GCTF]

The Comeback is on.

[Riverbrian]

Danny Santana... Our slugging leader... Who'd a thunk it.

[Riverbrian]

The Comeback is on.

Ash is gonna miss it and it will be Mrs. Ash's fault.

[glunn]

Ash is gonna miss it and it will be Mrs. Ash's fault.

If that happens and ash plays it correctly, then he will have a reason to avoid chores during the rest of the season.

[Squirrel]

It will not be Mrs. Ash's fault ... let's put blame here appropriately.  It's the Twins' fault ... theirs and theirs alone.

[Riverbrian]

It will not be Mrs. Ash's fault ... let's put blame here appropriately.  It's the Twins' fault ... theirs and theirs alone.

Yeah... It's all on Dan Gladden!!!

[Circus Boy]

The Comeback is on.

 

See your future, Danny. Be... your future. Be the ball, Danny. Hit the ball.

[glunn]

It will not be Mrs. Ash's fault ... let's put blame here appropriately.  It's the Twins' fault ... theirs and theirs alone.

This is why spouses should not be allowed to attend Modcon.  Now they have an ally on the inside of our operation.

Lol ... maybe it's not about having an ally ... maybe I've just discovered I like them better?

Back to Warren Minnesota:

 

Ricky Nolasco has a 5.96 ERA and that cost 48 Million dollars.

 

In Warren... the Twins could have had a 11.92 ERA for 53 Million.

[Danchat]

We're getting to the point where Nolasco is going to be on the list of worst big free agent deals. If he's going to pitch like this year, he isn't worth starting. I'm not sure what the management should do.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Wait...  Wasn't Hardy up with the bases loaded before?

[Riverbrian]

Wait...  Wasn't Hardy up with the bases loaded before?

Everyone is so bored with the game... They have started to recycle past innings.

[glunn]

Try him in the bullpen.

[Riverbrian]

Dear Minnesota Twins,

 

Comebacks are so much easier if you halt the other team from scoring. If you allow the other team to keep scoring. It'll be like chasing a moving target. I recommend halting that target and holding it in place.

 

Sincerely,

 

Riverbrian

Give it a few more starts.  An 11.92 ERA might seems like buying low.
