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

[USAFChief]

Next ModCon I'll arrange a gin tourney.

I'm in.  What are the stakes?

[GCTF]

Weird. I'm seeing them all listed as free, like above.

I see that too. When I try to go to the game the screen to log into my credit card info comes up.

[GCTF]

Maybe Canadians are exempt?

I had it for the last 6-7 years and didn't renew this year. Might be a grudge.

[LaBombo]

Price is one of the luckiest pitchers in the league.  He so often seems to pitch when the other team doesn't score many runs.

The low contact rate has really held his career back.  Maybe if Anderson is let go by the Twins he can go get Pricey straightened out.  Fingers crossed on both counts.

[USAFChief]

 

 

He rolls his eyes when I discard an 8 after he picked up an 8 around 10 cards ago.

Must be tough going through life as a massive disappointment to your parents.

 

I speak from experience, BTW.

[USAFChief]

Gibby:  catlike!

[Squirrel]

2-0, KC. I keep switching channels and missing things.

[USAFChief]

BTW...no Gopher-Michigan scores please...I'm recording it.

[glunn]

Gibson is getting some valuable experience today.

I also haven't finished watching Don Larsen's world series game - no spoilers plz kthxbye.

[ashbury]

We may have found our shortstop of the future.

[glunn]

Hicks!!!  I doubt that Santana would have caught that.

[GCTF]

Hicksie tracks it down. Gladden actually got excited.

[ashbury]

Nice having a major league CF out there.

[ashbury]

Hicks!!!  I doubt that Santana would have caught that.

"That's why they love him."  I'm listening to the Tigers feed - up to now they've been fine, but no idea what they think they are saying there.

Rod Allen on Hicks' catch: "That's why they love him!"

 

He must not follow Twins baseball.

[GCTF]

"That's why they love him."  I'm listening to the Tigers feed - up to now they've been fine, but no idea what they think they are saying there.

They haven't downloaded the 2014 Twins cliche app, still using the 2012 model.

[GCTF]

"That's why they love him."  I'm listening to the Tigers feed - up to now they've been fine, but no idea what they think they are saying there.

I had yesterday's game on TV with the Tigers' crew. They trotted out the old "play the game the right way", and "Gardy's teams are fundamentally sound" stuff. 

[USAFChief]

"That's why they hate him."

 

-Chief, in his recliner.

[ashbury]

"That's why they hate him."

 

-Chief, in his recliner.

"Aaron Hicks!  You get offa my lawn."

Price at 109 pitches? Does he come out for the eighth?

[Squirrel]

Price at 109 pitches? Does he come out for the eighth?

I hope so then we might have a chance.

[USAFChief]

I hope so then we might have a chance.

I was kinda hopin' just the opposite.

[Squirrel]

KC and Sox are now tied at 2 apiece

[Craig Arko]

I find the recent outings of Gibson, Nolasco, and May to provide real hope for 2-4 in the rotation next year. I sure hope Meyer is given the chance to sieze a spot early next year, by whoever is running the team.

[USAFChief]

KC and Sox are now tied at 2 apiece

crap.

[Squirrel]

I was kinda hopin' just the opposite.

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

[Squirrel]

crap.

Tigers' announcers just gave credit to Pinto for calling a good game.

We'll know Gardenhire is listening in, if we see steam coming from his ears.
