There's a job for that???? Paying job????

Yes. No.

[Craig Arko]

I really think there will be no point for May to go back to Rochester. Maybe ever.

[formerly33]

 

Gotta give it up to Moss on that play.  He played that off the wall perfectly and threw a strike to Kipnis.  

I thought it was a bit low.

[stringer bell]

Another key inning for May.

Remember, we shouldn't tip our cap to people, Molitor and Ryan said so.

I am starting to think Vargas needs to use a wheel chair when he is on the base paths - I think it would increase his speed.

[Riverbrian]

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. 

[stringer bell]

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.

Today is the anniversary of Mr. Korea's demise.

It wouldn't hurt his cornering ability either.

[ashbury]

 

However, I'm far from giggly. Too reserved, like Jane Fairfax.

When Game Thread cultural literacy begins to require Jane Austen on a regular basis I'm going to have to bow out as gracefully as I can. Monty Python and Three Stooges references are about all I'm good for.

Joesph Patrick Mauer!  Just because it's your birthday doesn't mean you get to play lazy defense!

If you are down here Memorial Day weekend the answer to the question is "it will take 2.5 hours".  That's to park your car.  Just forget about the rest of the itinerary.

Perk could build him one with a super-charged motor.

I'm sure Halsey will blame Plouffe.

No, it doesn't. And he felt bad. But you can excuse him because it's his birthday. .... ?

So... If I understand this correctly... Driving to see the Chicago Fountain... Is nothing like Driving to a Supermarket with a parking lot in Eau Claire? 

[big dog]

Way to go, Trevor, way to go!  Clap, clap!

[70charger]

 

nice game for May so far. Like it!

 

Six innings on one-run ball. Can't complain about that. Also, we haven't seen much of that from Twins pitchers in the last few years.

 

I honestly hope that May grabs onto a rotation spot and doesn't let go. 

[ashbury]

 

Gameday is stuck in the 3rd with Poof at bat.  Nice long half hour at bat for him. 

Halsey's working definition of Hell.

Well, you recognized the author. I'm not sure I believe in your claims on near-complete illiteracy. But if you say so...

[D. Hocking]

The biggest difference is there are not as many cheese curd vendors at the Chicago Fountain.

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.

[Mill1634]

Aaron Thompson for our 7th inning pitcher sounds like a bad idea.

[Gibby]

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

[formerly33]

And House adds yet another strikeout. I can't find an appropriately sarcastic smiley.

[Craig Arko]

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

[70charger]

 

Joesph Patrick Mauer!  Just because it's your birthday doesn't mean you get to play lazy defense!

 

"Sorry, mom."

 

"Now go stand in the dugout and think about what you've done."

 

"Okay."

[Hrbowski]

Shane is playing like an MVP.

[Mill1634]

I told you Robinson is a beast.

[ashbury]

 

Like May's changeup.

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