Game Thread: Twins v. Indians, 4/19/15 @ 1:10 PM

[stringer bell]

Another SSS note: If Plouffe gets a hit in one of his next two at-bats, he will be at or over .200. When he hit his walk-off, he was at .118.

[Craig Arko]

I don't question Ash's literacy. Jane Austin is a bit of a surprise though.

We are lacking a bit in Thomas Pynchon. I'll see what I can do to help.

Bye bye House. It's fun playing at home.

House will only be gone until he makes a dramatic realization while trying to prank Wilson. He'll be back before the end of the episode.

 

Wait, what are we watching?

[Riverbrian]

 

It's actually a lot like it, but only if there are 10,000 people standing around in the parking lot and they each drove by themselves.  Then you've pretty much got it.

 

But if you are on Lakeshore Drive going past the fountain, you are more less parked already, so you can probably at least toss your cousin in the fountain.  The bad news is he will be able to get back in the car before you get through the stoplight.

 

If you are around Memorial Day... You should join us at Al's around 5:30P

Shane is playing like an MVP.

 

Or someone who wants to keep receiving a major league paycheck.

[big dog]

 

Hmmm, I see people were mentioning ladies whose last name is May.

So it's not just the CIA monitoring this site.  Great.

Uh, the Twins game? I'm afraid I don't watch much more than Austen movies. You'll have to enlighten me here.

[ashbury]

 

when TD finally decides to become a public company (rumor has it being the spring of 2117).

FTFY

He probably went back to work with Stephen Fry.

[big dog]

 

I like the movement on virtually every pitch. We aren't used to that on this team.

Aren't you thinking of t-ball?

[70charger]

 

He probably went back to work with Stephen Fry.

 

I'd watch that.

[Hrbowski]

 

Bye bye House. It's fun playing at home.

Did you happen to hear Francona and Callaway before the game? "Well Callaway, what'd we get today? A Kluber, a fat ol' Salazar, or a nice big.... [he sees TJ] House?!? [Francona thinks for a second, gives a dirty look to Callaway and kicks him.] Callaway, you been diggin' holes out here again?? [mumbling to himself] Dumb lizard always tryin' to bury squirrels out here."

[ashbury]

 

BTW, Shane Robinson is hitting .294. Best average for a Twin with more than 10 PAs.

Assuming this means there is someone with fewer PAs but a better BA, I vote for getting some more of those batters with fewer PAs.

[Riverbrian]

 

Bye bye House. It's fun playing at home.

 

Our House... 

 

Is a very very very fine House

 

With 4 runs on the board.

 

He can now be left ignored

That's a lie! It's a trap! My mom is gonna call the Twins on you!

[formerly33]

Whooo!

[Hrbowski]

OH, WHAT A THING OF BEAUTY!!!!!!!!

[Squirrel]

YES!!!!

[NoCryingInBaseball]

A dinger by Tori!!!

[Riverbrian]

HUNTER

 

That Dinger was worth 10 million

[glunn]

That was a timely bomb from Torii. 

[Jerr]

Not to interrupt the Jane Austin and women named May talk, but:

 

Circus Boy score update:

 

Twins 7 Tribe 1 on Hunter 3 run BLAST!!!! Bottom of 6.

[Halsey Hall]

Yaaaa! Gameday caught up to a homer by Hunter, and off Swarz, besides.  Unless this is a blast from the past. 

[ashbury]

 

Nice hit by Plouffe.  Too bad Vargas had bricks in his pocket while he was running to third. 

Vargas was born with bricks.

[JB_Iowa]

So Torii hit Mauer's birthday present.  

[Craig Arko]

Hunter just mentored Swarzak.

[big dog]

Welcome home, Torii!  Welcome home, Anthony!

[Squirrel]

How hard will it be to Park my Car somewhere... and how much time will it take to leave Al's Italian Beef... Drive to the Fountain... Throw one of my Drunk Cousins into the fountain... Take a Photo and return to the car and drive on toward Indiana.

 

Actually, Brian, despite what lies big dog is telling you, pretty easy. It depends on where you are driving in from. You can actually park near me (near the 'legs') for free. There's an Al's Beef near me and near Wrigley. We can take the red line to get to/from the game, eat at Al's before and/or after, see the fountain, which is near me, too, then walk back to your car and get on the road easily to IN.

[Hrbowski]

 

That's a lie! It's a trap! My mom is gonna call the Twins on you!

Trap?! Where'd you get an idea like that?? Boy I think you've been down in that hole for too long. [he holds his gun out so that TJ can grab it] Well c'mon, grab ahold. We'll get you out of this little ol' lizard hole and you can just run along home. [Callaway has spotted the pinetar on TJ's hand. He hisses and makes a face.]
