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

[USAFChief]

Fryer woulda scored during the rundown

But the faceplant, 3 ft short of home plate, without there even being a play there, wouldn't have been nearly as humorous.

[stringer bell]

94 from Fien?

[big dog]

But he has to be better than this. He has to be. He will be.

I really hope you're right.  Heaven knows we could use him.

He hesitated at third. If he had just kept running it would have been close.

[Mike Sixel]

Almost wish I could watch this sometimes, for the comedy.......

[USAFChief]

Well, Dick that's not where Santana wanted to bunt the ball.

 

//that's not made up, by the way.//

[big dog]

3-3 and he's a goat?

5 hits, 4 walks, 3 ER, yanked in the 4th and bacon saved by Swarzak.  Not an impressive job.

[WLFINN]

been awhile there mr goldilocks...

[Riverbrian]

All right, whoever picked Chief in the pool for "who's the first person to quote lyrics from My Sharona", please come to the courtesy counter to collect your prize.

I was thinking about going with Chief on that...

 

But I placed my bet on Bark coming up with. "Crimson and Milone" ... Crystal Blue Milone-tion" or "Draggin' the Line"

 

You don't even have to alter "Dragging the Line".

[teekz]

rundown scoring:

 

3-4-9-5

 

nothing unusual about that

I think I had that on a Twingo card...

[LaBombo]

94 from Fien?

Temperature?  Blanket volunteered from here...

[Riverbrian]

Temperature? Blanket volunteered from here...

Nope... 94 ... Is Trombones leading the big parade... adjusted for inflation

[WLFINN]

he needs to steal second and Mauer will do the rest..... right Chi?

[Riverbrian]

94 is what Barbara Feldon became as she got older.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hey look, Schafer's caught in his second rundown of the game.  How many Twins have made 2 outs on the bases without attempting to steal?  That's got to be a small number.

 

(Well Dick) The run down was unfortunate. 

 

He sees the overthrow to first.  But how often does the ball bounce straight back to the first baseman?

 

I still wish he'd been able to stay in the rundown long enough for Suzuki to score, but oh well.

[Ultima Ratio]

Hey laude laude,

Hey laude lo,

Twins baseball.

 

 

<<<burrrrrp>>>

 

Someone tell Schafer that the little white square pads on the dirt are places to stay -- safely, like a base in a kids' game of hide and go seek -- while navigating in a series of left, 90 degree turns, back to the white plate that begin it all.  They are your friend, to touch and to hold.  Forever and ever.  Amen.

[stringer bell]

Perk for the ninth?

[LaBombo]

94 is what Barbara Feldon became as she got older.

Celebrity crush?  Get wise.

[teekz]

[Riverbrian]

Ok... Fantasy baseball

 

Here are my SP's

 

Carrasco

Arrieta

Paxton

Cashner

Ventura

DeGrom

Pineda

Fiers

Santiago

 

Its fantasy playoffs... All of these guys are pitching great... I've really got one too many and Wacha is coming off the DL on Thursday.

Do you have to decide before they pitch?  That seems like it would make chosing more difficult.

[USAFChief]

Well Dick, hows about a walkoff, just for Hawk?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Nice throw, Suzuki.

[teekz]

I'm calling Plouffe going yard.

[Riverbrian]

Surkamp?

 

At least Bible camp had some girls!

[snepp]

Bremergasm.

 

 

 

Premature at that.

[Riverbrian]

I'm rarely fooled... But... I thought Arcia just ended it. It looked gone off the bat.

Roto or H2H?  Scoring and standings?  "Help me... help you!!"

And there's always the possibility of extra innings.

Er...  Vargas?

 

Wait. I think i see what you did...
