Game Thread: Twins v Angels, 9/5 @ 7:10pm CT

[Riverbrian]

Collapsed, hah!  Most of us know he was actually pushed, and there's been a massive government cover-up.

It was really tragic... Kinda like if the Dog fell off the Target Center

[stringer bell]

Well, there goes any prospect of Pinto making the team next year. 

[ashbury]

I did.  They didn't.

In that case I'll come over some time to bury your friends, not to praise them.

Bullseye down! Bullseye down!

[LaBombo]

The hard stuff.  It always comes down to that.  A gateway ice cream, just a little vanilla, or maybe strawberry, what's the harm, right?  Then comes a "friend" letting you try some Gold Medal Ribbon "for free, man!  It's awesome."   Next thing you know, you're cruising the entertainment district late at night, looking to score some butter brickle, hating yourself the whole time.

Early intervention is key.  Mine came when a college friend found me licking Fiesta Sundae dishes, Blizzard cups and Dilly Bar wrappers from the dumpster behind DQ.  Clean since, unless you count the O'Dooles' of ice cream, frozen custard, and even that only on summer holidays.

[ashbury]

In fact for some people, ice cream can be almost like a drug.

[glunn]

pfft.  you ol' softie you.  That's the kind of thinking that led to IV straight XC loss seasons for the home town IX from CDIV thru CDI!  

Chief is just showing off here.  One of Chief's grandchildren invented Roman numerals.

[LaBombo]

In that case I'll come over some time to bury your friends, not to praise them.

Never took it personally.  They knew about my default on an eye lent to me by my next door neighbor years ago, a Rooster something-or-other whose last name escapes me at the moment.

[stringer bell]

This will not end well.

[glunn]

We could use two strikeouts in this situation.  It would be nice to have a flame throwing reliever in the pen.

[LaBombo]

This will not end well.

Duensing in.  What could go wrong, other than the Angels producing a batter, lefties included, who can stand in the right-handed batter's box and wave the bat around a bit?

What's is the opposite of "All's Well that Ends Well".

[stringer bell]

Well, I hate to do this, but I have to work tomorrow.  I'm not as big a jinx as JB, but my luck hasn't been very good since I tuned into a 5-0 game that the Twins ended up losing 7-5.  Good night all and root us on to a win or a double DQ blizzard, whichever is better.

"Gardy signals to the pen, and here comes Duensing."

That's different.  You can be lax about paying back an ear, but an eye?  Gotta be another eye for it.

[glunn]

Losing to the Angels?

[LaBombo]

Brian Duensing.

The Life and Death of Julius Caesar?

As long as it ends...

[big dog]

Well, who could have possibly seen that coming?

[USAFChief]

Butter Brickle has caused a lot of problems because the brickle pieces clog the needle when you try to shoot up.  The hard core addicts use a larger needle and then end up with a dangerous amount in their system and hallucinate things like Revere home runs.  The rumor is they found an empty container of the stuff in Jim Morrison's Paris apartment, but Bridgeman's had enough power at the time to suppress that fact in the news and police reports.

Needle??

 

The real bad cases use a spoon.

According to the Tragically Hip... 2.50 for an eyeball and a Buck and a half for an ear.

[LaBombo]

This will not end well.

Gave that a like just because it was nice to know that someone else shared my absolute sense of doom in that case.

[big dog]

Needle??

 

The real bad cases use a spoon.

-or both- I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon 

and another girl to take my pain away.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That's different.  You can be lax about paying back an ear, but an eye?  Gotta be another eye for it.

Now you've all done it!

 

I can't bare to hear the eye scream!

 

And surprise of surprises, it seems the Angels have taken a lead?

 

What gives?

[D. Hocking]

The Life and Death of Julius Caesar?

 

_{^{/ I'm always shaky when detailed questions about Willie S are asked}}

Et tu Bruno?

[glunn]

I thought that RB's setup was especially profound tonight.  

[Riverbrian]

Needle??

 

The real bad cases use a spoon.

And a trip to the moon

[LaBombo]

We could use two strikeouts in this situation.  It would be nice to have a flame throwing reliever in the pen.

Even a propane torch would be a step up over Duensing, and he may descend to disposable Bic territory before it's over.

New survey:

 

What kind of ice cream would the Twins be?

 

I'll go with rocky road.
