Yeah, not so often you see a two tag double play.

 

I enjoyed it.

 

 

Oh, and sorry i've wandered off.

 

Game's not quite so close as the last two.

[big dog]

Well, that was a double-play inspired by Swan Lake.

[70charger]

Thompson kinda got bailed out by that unlikely double play. Still, can't complain about a couple of scoreless innings.

Circus Boy score update:

 

Twins 7, Tribe 1 bottom of the 8th.

GREAT JOE!!!

The Tribe thinks so. They're all wearing #7 on their jersey in honor of his birthday.

[Hrbowski]

Robinson has a three hit day!

[Hrbowski]

Dozier still has the best walk-up song...

[ashbury]

Another Jane Austen reference? This is getting a bit much.

Hang on, really?  I thought that was Three Stooges.

You mean Tchaikovsky, I think.

[ashbury]

 

You mean Tchaikovsky, I think.

Jane Austen wrote Tchaikovsky? What couldn't she do?

How is that a Jane Austen reference?

[Circus Boy]

 

What have I missed? Has Circus Boy become a cult leader or something?

 

I suppose Twins Daily could use a David Koresh or Jim Jones of its own.

 

Yes, it's a special cult that makes doilies and remodels kitchens bathrooms.

She couldn't hit the curve.

[Hrbowski]

I don't mean to go off topic, but what is wrong with the bleeping KC Royals? Herrera just threw 2 100 mph pitches at Brett Lawrie's head.

I think that was Moe's real name.  Tchaikovsky is on this birth certificate - but they called him Moe for short.  His true love was ballet - but his movies with his brothers were what really paid the bills.  I think that was always a bitter pill for him to swallow.

Now I will follow your teachings my Master.

No, that was that Amy Adams movie.

Nothing is really off topic in game threads.

Jane Austen herself could not have come up with something more tragic.

Moses Harry Horwitz was his name

[Joe Mauer shows up for batting practice and strolls casually over to Paul Molitor.]

Molitor: Joe!
Mauer: So, Molly, earlier I was saying today's a pretty big day and you didn’t really respond, so I’m just gonna tell you, it’s my birthday! Uh. Tada!
Molitor: No, no, no, can’t be. I distinctly remember: your birthday was last year.
Mauer: That’s the funny thing about birthdays–they’re kind of an annual thing! Uh... Molly, I’m turning thirty-two, and I wanted to ask, uh, what I really want for this birthday… Actually what I really want for my birth–want for my birth–
Molly: Okay, Joe, please, stop with the mumbling. You know how I feel about the mumbling–blah-blah-blah-blah, it’s very annoying. [Joe looks hurt.] I’m just teasing, you’re amazing, you're the best, Joe!

Mauer: Uh, I want to see the fireworks tonight.
Molitor: Uuuuh... What?
Mauer: Oh... well, I was hoping you would let me see the fireworks.
Molitor: Oooooh; that. I almost forgot about those. Duh...

Maybe Herrera is channeling his inner "Gallagher" and instead of using a sledge hammer to a water melon, he is using a baseball to a human head... just a guess.

Ohhhh Kaye.

[Squirrel]

Well, and there's a candidate right there for when Pelf is moved back to the pen.

[ashbury]

Moses Harry Horwitz was his name

Imagine what Danny Kaye could have done with that.

[Hrbowski]

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE BLEEPING ME! ARCIA!

[Squirrel]

OMG! Arcia caught that!

[70charger]

Hey! Arcia playing some D!

 

Where'd that come from?
