Game Thread: Twins @ Tigers, 9/28 @ 12:08pm CT

[USAFChief]

Game one to dad... I was 5 points away... When he won a hand after about 3 draws for 70 point win.

 

On to game two.

Great.  Thanks a lot.  No more score updates, please.  I'm recording.

[twinsnorth49]

Remember when it took Gibson 82 pitches to get through the 4th?

 

Progress baby!!

[Bark's Lounge]

Okay, he pitches the 8th, then we'll see Nathan in the 9th? That could be okay.

I'm prayin'.

[Squirrel]

4-2 Sox, or will be soon when the call is overturned

[Riverbrian]

Game two to dad... 5 hands played... He's on a roll... I feel like he's the Tigers and I'm Tulane University.

[ashbury]

I have to say I liked the Kinsler trade when it was made.  He hasn't put up the numbers expected of him, but I'd still like him more than Prince Fielder on "my" team.  Killed us today.

[glunn]

Coming up on our last 3 outs of the season ... against Joe Nathan.  I am still hoping for extra innings.

[twinsnorth49]

One more Vargas atomic bomb would be nice.

[twinsnorth49]

Drat!

[ashbury]

Pitching's the priority, but there's still some work needed for the offense to be ready to contend a little bit in 2015 IMO.

[twinsnorth49]

Less SO's would be a start.

[USAFChief]

And we'll see you...next spring!

[ashbury]

That's it.  Good game threads, folks.  See you here next year.

[GCTF]

Season over.Pathetic.

[glunn]

Oh well.  At least the Twins made a good showing.

[ashbury]

Season over.Pathetic.

Banned.

[USAFChief]

Season over.Pathetic.

You're about 5.9 months too late.

[big dog]

Good night, everybody.  Have a good offseason.

[Squirrel]

Now eyes onto Oakland and Seattle games.

[glunn]

I want to echo those who have enjoyed the game threads this year.  It was another painful year for Twins fans, but the game threads helped make it bearable.

[ashbury]

Less SO's would be a start.

I'd like more SO's in our starts.

[twinsnorth49]

I'd like more SO's in our starts.

Now you're moving the goalposts sir.

[glunn]

Now eyes onto Oakland and Seattle games.

I am also watching the Astros -- if they can win then the Twins get the third draft pick -- unfortunately the Astros are now behind to the Mets, so it looks like the Twins will pick at #4.

[ashbury]

Now you're moving the goalposts sir.

Yes sir.  My specialty.

[Craig Arko]

If I owned the Twins, every day would be the first day of spring

Every heart would have a new song to sing

And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring.

 

If I owned the Twins, every pitch would be as fast as a bird

Every hit would be a hit to be heard

Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred.

 

My park would be a beautiful place

Where we would weave such wonderful dreams

TC would wear a smile on his face

Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams.

 

If I owned the Twins every man would say the Twins were his friends

There'd be happiness that no man could end

No my friend, not if I owned the Twins.

 

Every head would be held up high

There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky

If the day ever dawned when I owned the Twins.

[GCTF]

Banned.

Has everyone been fired yet? What are they waiting for?

[TheLeviathan]

I totally nailed the under call on 70.5!

 

Yay!  

 

Wait.....

[Bark's Lounge]

Sad to see the season end, but how much abuse can one endure? It's probably time for a break.

 

It has been an honor to game thread with everyone who participates, I will certainly miss it for the next 5 months or so.

 

Thanks to All and let's get em' next year!

[Squirrel]

Konerko's last game, and they took him out?

[Winston Smith]

 So we draft 6th.Tie with Astros goes to them and they get the extra pick (2) for screwing up this years draft.

 

My guess is there will be 5 blue chip guys.
