Game Thread: Twins v Angels, 9/4 @ 7:10pm CT

[Riverbrian]

I'm just saying... JB doesn't know the game is tied.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

can't track a fly ball with two hands, a flashlight, and voice GPS.

 

Recalculating...

 

That could explain a few things...

[Thegrin]

LOL  who was griping about Nunez being in the lineup tonight ?  LOL

[Squirrel]

Gardy was certainly certifiable when he slotted Nunez into tonight's lineup

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I don't have a problem with giving Nunez another game

yes!

[Riverbrian]

Good call

Congrats on post 3 thousand

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Reward Nunez for his good game yesterday

Yes!

[stringer bell]

It took two days, but there's your cycle.

[Squirrel]

And CR is ahead 2-1 in the bottom of the 9th

[LaBombo]

I've become partial to Gelato. I like it creamy and lacking air.

Make that spare and Apu will give you a free one...

 

Cool that Nunez tied the game with a homer, but is anyone else worried this will be banked on as another reason to bring back a shortstop gravitating toward third and a sub-.300 OBP?

[Willihammer]

Phew, watch your heads!

[Willihammer]

Boi, Schafer is earning all kinds of Gardy points. 

 

He has been fun to watch play

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Well, I managed to come in for the Angels scoring outburst.

Quit watching games JB / you will never learn

[Squirrel]

I like Talenti's peanut butter cup gelato.

[Platoon]

While firing Gardy is defensible, I don't think the day-to-day line-ups are fireable offenses.

Not per se, but either he is the one of the only people around who do not think it important to give Santanna reps at SS, or he has made up his mind one way or the other, or he is under orders from upstairs not to. He often talks of doing one thing, but never does it. He can put out any lineup he wants, he is the guy. But since the 11th game after the ASG, he would have been doing the team a favor by treating the rest of the season as spring training.

[Squirrel]

I used to like B&J's coffee Heath bar crunch, but they changed it and now it's awful.

I've been in the "He should play more" club.

 

Or The H S Pee M club for short.

[Platoon]

That was me, but I know he can hit, but he is not a SS. In a sad confession, I was typing one of those posts while the ball was sailing outa here. Lol

I normally get the Haagan Daaz Sea Salt Caramel. Telanti Coffee Chocolate Chip is also nummy.

 

Even low grade ice cream is good but the high end stuff is what makes life worth living.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

The pre-game thread starter was yet another example of why the mods are still an undervalued TD asset despite their six-figure salaries, lavish benefits, and favorable treatment from Target Field ushers. Well done, again.

I've often considered upgrading my $59.95 basic yearly Twins Daily membership in the hope that with the extra revenue, the mods might get an extra week of paid vacation every year.

Too bad we didn't stop at Sebastian Joe's for some raspberry choc. chip when we were in the area.

[Willihammer]

In ice cream news, Wal Mart is selling Blue Bunny's Homemade Chocolate for $3.50 and its totally worth it.

And Burlington threatened in the bottom of the 9th, but Cedar Rapids held on for the win.

Joe Mauers mom would have made u eat Kemps! At least till last year.

Absolutely... I did manage to get some Street Gelato walking back to the Hotel from Hell's Kitchen.

 

And yes... That means the breakfast simply wasn't enough.

[LaBombo]

Phew, watch your heads!

The lice are up to their usual antics.  Something else to be concerned about?

Some day Hammer... You and I will do an Ice Cream Binge and tour together. We will wear Bibs and everything.

[stringer bell]

I like Nunez as a bench guy. He's got versatility, speed, and some pop in his bat. He is accustomed to being a bench player. I think his defense is better than advertised.

Mrs Chief and I were terrified you were going to get the whole lot of us busted, what with you parading around with your "street gelato" and all.

This might be my favorite (I might have gone there more than Liquor Lyle's back in the day).  Bridgeman's butter brickle a sentimental favorite from childhood, and I do like a good vanilla with some quality hot fudge.
