Game Thread: Twins @ Detroit, 9/26 @ 6:08pm CT

[Platoon]

Oswaldo might not be perfect, but he is never boring!

[Squirrel]

Uh oh .... Sox scored. It's 3-1

[Squirrel]

Why are there no Amish in Chicago? I assume there are not, since I have never seen one of their buggies on the Dan Ryan or Kennedy? Which brings up another sore spot........ How come they name the freeways there, I still don't know whether 290 is named after those guys, Alfred E. Neumann or the Rev Guido?

There are tons of Amish in Chicago. They are all sitting at the train and bus stations waiting for their connection to other locations.

Brian, he was shirtless.

 

[Platoon]

Still 3-0 in Chicago, 8th inning.

In honor of Brian's 10k posts, they should name I29 after him!! Let's start a petit one: please sign below:

It gives people something to read while sitting in the traffic jam.

Guy sitting in traffic jam, looking at map:  "Dan Ryan."  I'm on the Dan.  Ryan. ...  The Dan...Rye...uhn...freeway."

 

...

 

thinks to self, "well that didn't take up much time.  Here I still sit."

It could be ... in about 50-60 years.

If we do many more of those Modcons, it will be.

[Squirrel]

Okay, 3-1. Going to the 9th now.

Not to disrespect the man. But I should have done a photo search for "shirtless Robin Williams" to execute my plan. Can't take it back now. RIP RW.

[USAFChief]

Winnah!

[Squirrel]

Winnah!

Hoping to say that for KC in 6 more outs.

Late-season game thread fatigue starting to slow brian down?  He actually allowed a post sneak in between a Chicago traffic reference and this.

Just one cup of coffee today.

[LaBombo]

Just one cup of coffee today.

Me too, but luckily the cup was the approximate size and weight of a goldfish bowl.

 

On the way home tonight certain stars seemed to be in a very unusual alignment, but a quick check of the box score revealed that it was probably due to it being a night where Vargas drew a walk.

 

Kidding aside, it's nice to see (well, hear and then see in the box score) the Twins show some power tonight, especially when the Tigers' season is on the line.  Almost makes up for missing out on a game thread about body hair and what happened on the kayak.

Alice... The Mad Hatter and the March Hare were also at the party.

[Squirrel]

And it's a WINNAH for KC and they have just now clinched a playoff spot

[LaBombo]

I am way behind on the TIVO, but I think it could be said that this could have been the end of Swarzack as a starter?

It could have been the end of Swarzak as a Twin.

 

Not because this start didn't go well, but because it means he won't pitch again this year, and his future as a Twins reliever has been in doubt due to his impending arb payday and the number of younger, cheaper, higher upside alternatives the Twins believe and we hope are on the way.

Well, being picked last for kickball and Riverbrian petitions is better than not being picked at all...

Wanted to ask her about that, but her intimidating height made me reconsider.

Save the Best for Last... Right?

Good for KC. The last time they made the post season I was 10 years old, now I am kickin' on 40. **** - I just bummed myself out.

Yes, probably. Can't say for sure unless you've purchased Sinatra's Extended Lifetime Uptrend Warranty .http://lifeisnowshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Sinatra_bestyettocome.jpg

Put another way, the reason that you were 10 when KC made the playoffs is that they suck, not that you're old.
