Game Thread: Twins v Pale Hose, 9/2 @ 7:10pm CT

[Squirrel]

Looks like a pitchers duel in Fort Myers, right Chi-Town?

Tonight's game is in Braedenton, not Ft Myers. I'll be at the game tomorrow night.

[stringer bell]

Well Dick...Noesi hasn't fooled anyone except Dozier and Mauer.

[stringer bell]

C'mon Milone!

My bad. I thought you were going to Jet Blue tonight.

[Riverbrian]

Well dick, do u think Gardy is gonna use this time to evaluate players, or see that the boys get their performance bonuses and go for that 73rd win?

Well Bert, I don't know! Gardy's been in this league a long time, and you won't find another manager who would be better suited to make such a decision.

Well Roy, what do yu think?

Well guys, I think Arcia needs to stop dropping his hands before he swings!

Well Roy, I think u might have mentioned that in his previous 27 PA?

Wel that wraps it up for tonight, stay tuned for Gardy's press conference and a replay of Marnies mn lottery winners!

LOL... Love it

[Don't Feed the Greed Guy]

That stop sign was late. Would Dick call Ullger out for that? No, blame the kid.

[ScrapTheNickname]

I think you guys are more entertaining as yourselves.

Carnac: "Well Dick."

Ed: Go on.  You have some game analysis for us tonight?

Carnac: Well Dick.  The all-seeing eye has penetrated the envelope and informed me of the contents.

Ed: Oh, we're doing that?  OK.   Hey.  Yo.

Carnac: May the fleas of Dick Trickle infest your race car.

Ed:That sounds worse than it really was.

Carnac: Hopefully the contents of the envelope will be similarly benign.

Ed: We can hope.  Open it, please.

Carnac: "What do you call a detective who specializes in water investigation?"

[Riverbrian]

Well Dick... Flowers is kind of a girly name for a baseball player

[Riverbrian]

In consideration of all these Jack Links commercials... Has it been established that Sasquatch is real?

[stringer bell]

I thought the stop sign was late. Don't base coaches point to the bag when they want them to hold right there?

You forgot to put 'Well, Dick ...' in front of that.

It was way late. I do not like Ullger over there.

[Riverbrian]

Well Dick... Nope... Arms straight up... Like you are being robbed at gunpoint or if someone is putting on deodorant for you.

[Riverbrian]

You forgot to put 'Well, Dick ...' in front of that.

That wasn't expert analysis

Well Bert it sure took you a long time to get that! It must be your California reading classes that caused your lack of comprehension.

[USAFChief]

That wasn't expert analysis

I bet you hear that a lot, when you opine on media related matters.

[hawkiconk]

yes

his name is dick

[Riverbrian]

I bet you hear that a lot, when you opine on media related matters.

I hear that on everything!!! I could be discussing my thoughts and feelings and my wife will say "that's not expert analysis"... Let me tell you what you are really thinking".

[Platoon]

You forgot to put 'Well, Dick ...' in front of that.

Well dick you for got to put well dick in front of your "you forgot to put well dick in front of that"

 

My head is starting to hurt, I feel like I have been listening to the hawk!

[Riverbrian]

Well Dick... Milone just gave up a hit to a player with a uniform number in the 70's... When that happens... You are having a problem on the mound,

[hawkiconk]

Well dick you for got to put well dick in front of your "you forgot to put well dick in front of that"

 

My head is starting to hurt, I feel like I have been listening to the hawk!

he gone

[Thegrin]

 

Carnac: "What do you call a detective who specializes in water investigation?"

Well Dick... is it an EPA Dick ?

[Craig Arko]

Well Dick, I still find it hard to believe that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle thought Gardy gnomes were really gnomes.

[stringer bell]

Swarzak + inherited runners= Trouble.

[Riverbrian]

I wonder if Milone is gonna demand a trade when he starts in Rochester next year?

[Bark's Lounge]

Well DIck...

 

Angry just as fast as we can
holdin' on to hope a trade did not fail
tryin' to get away into alcohol
and then you groove a pitch down the middle
and I stumble to the ground
and drunkenly say

 

I think it's Milone now
he doesn't seem to get a batter out
I think it's Milone now

the beating of my fists against hole filled wall

Tiffany? Dude... You gotta go with Tommy James.

 

Regardless... "I think its Milone Now" is stuck in my head

tommy james is gonna be mad at you....

[Danchat]

I think the Twins are miracle workers when it comes to bullpen pitchers and 4th OFers, but when it comes to AAAA starters, they just suck.

 

That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but face it, we have 3 of the worst starting pitchers in baseball right now. Nolasco has been awful, Milone needs an actual pitching staff instead of whatever Rick Anderson tells him to do, and May has been bad. May will get better over time, but these other two... heck, I'd give Milone a shot in training camp but there's no way Alex Meyer should be blocked by him.

 

Vance Worley, Liam Hendriks, or even Scott Diamond would be better options than Tommy Milone. But y'know, with this pitching staff, it wouldn't matter. They'd all be bad.

 

 

Ahem! Sorry for getting carried away. I've had it with this pitching staff. I'll let TR judge them this offseason and see if Rick Anderson will stay another season.
