Game Thread: Twins@Mariners, 4/25, 8:10 p.m.

[stringer bell]

Stauffer? Geez, with all the lefties in the lineup, I thought they would go with a left hander.

[Willihammer]

Can I get the background info on this nickname?

If I had to guess.... Paul Pleiss.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

5 strikeouts in 3.1 innings, and an opposite field ground ball double to Nelson Cruz that scored the runs. Pretty damn good outing until the line drive off the right elbow.

Over the last few years, whenever the Twins play here, they always lose the games that I attend and win the games I don't. As much as it hurts, I've finally accepted the fact that I'm a bad luck charm. So after cursing them once again with my presence last night, I promise to stay home the next two games.

 

That must be the Twins' problem.  it's not that the team is bad. There are just too many fans who are bad luck.  (If 's just you, we just need you to stop going to 95 games a year and cut back to about 60.)

I think in 97 years when they watch old baseball film from today. 

 

People from the year 2112 are going to say... "What's with all the flipping beards" "When was the razor invented"?

He just seemed to be settling into a groove too. Hopefully he doesn't miss a start or... no... he wouldn't lose his spot to Nolasco over this? Nope nope nope nope...

Insulation, obviously.

 

What with globular warming and all.

You are talking about Mauer's beard again, right?

[Platoon]

Man, are you ever GREEDY!

. Not at all, Jennifer for Brian, and I would settle for the twin!

[stringer bell]

Pack your bags Kennys!

[gil4]

 

I would be willing to live on a tropical island with Jennifer Lawrence for TWO years if the Twins can win the playoffs AND May's elbow is undamaged.

 

Since we're bidding, I'll go three years if Twins can win the playoffs, May's elbow is undamaged, and Meyer turns into a right-handed version of Randy Johnson.

Indirectly... It was Ackley that led to the thought. There are a bunch of beards in baseball these days. 

 

ZZ Top is no longer unique. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A lead. And another Eduardo RBI.

[Thrylos]

Yeah. Nunez is the problem here

[Riverbrian]

Life is good... It's Glunn's fantasy and I get the Girl. 

 

It's easy being me. 

[Platoon]

If Seager could play third against us every game, our offense would be a lot better

[Platoon]

Injury aside, that will be interesting. The Pelf shutout, and Nolasco. Neither of them are going down

[Willihammer]

Much better to be the team making the other guys pay for sloppy defense

[Halsey Hall]

A couple of diamond cutters and we have the lead!

[stringer bell]

Way to pick up Vargas, Eduardo & Zuke!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

(raises hand) Three years and a day, auctioneer!

[Halsey Hall]

 

 

Pack your bags Kennys!

Right on.  He needs to go down and learn not to swing at that pitch. 

[Platoon]

He plays third like his brother Pete

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Pack your bags Kennys!

yes, we are almost at that point.

I will raise you two years and the woman on Game of Thrones who is the mother of dragons.  The dragon fire could be used to cook the wild pigs that Jennifer kills with her bow while I laze around camp and eat tropical fruit.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Yeah. Nunez is the problem here

not until he's in the field somewhere

[glunn]

Maybe we should be glad that maybe Pelf has made an adjustment that makes him valuable?

[stringer bell]

Gee, Nunez lost his helmet sliding into third.

. Don't you like wild pig?

Gee, Nunez lost his helmet sliding into third.

 

At least he was safe, though.
