[Circus Boy]

The champagne is still on ice in the locker room for the post-game perfect game celebration.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Next step: breathing through his eyelids.

And then eyelid trumpet playing, no?

 

Or is that just my imagination...

[drunksam]

The high stir-ups, the 3 quarters sleeves, I like this hurler's moxie, I don't like how he's keeping us off the board. 

[Squirrel]

Okay Suzuki … got us going … let's bring him around ...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We got us another baserunner in Suzuki.

 

Now what do we do?

[Squirrel]

 

20 pitches. 6 outs. Consistent.

 

I'm starting the no-no watch.

Ack!!! Take the jinx back, take the jinx back! No more mention of it!

[Squirrel]

Man … you guys are jinxing us all over the place … sigh ...

[Hrbowski]

Nice job, Eddie!!!!

[Circus Boy]

 

Coffee or beer?  Went coffee, lets hope the game goes well so it doesn't switch.  I want to go topless this afternoon. 

 

I always keep my man-bra on. Even in the shower.

[drunksam]

Eddie just has this Jeter like clutch, don't he?

[diehardtwinsfan]

Rosario = clutch

[Squirrel]

On the board … I'm hoping for a long inning here! 

[Hrbowski]

 I agree, you can't mention a perfect game. If I was pitching a perfect game I would be MAD if somebody mentioned it.

[Squirrel]

Oh, please … do not get me started ...

It's better to embrace it early than to Jinx it in the 5th!

[Squirrel]

As if they read TD between innings to know this …

No chance for a hex. I had my fingers crossed when I typed it.

[mnsportsgeek]

I will certainly take that.

[Squirrel]

Yup … we'll take it … wtg, DanSan … broken bat blooper gets it done!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I would like to commemorate the noble sacrifice of Santana's bat in being bisected to bring in those two runs...

[Craig Arko]

That bat gave its life for those two runs. Honor it.

[Squirrel]

Ohhhhh, man … DanSan picked off!

 

But end of two, 3-0 Twins.

 

 

 

 

 

This has been your CBU.

[mnsportsgeek]

That pick off can't happen, but it's hard to get too upset after 2 RBI's.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That bat gave its life for those two runs. Honor it.

May it rest in pieces...

 

(One can only ponder, if it were trisected, would we have scored a third run?)

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Time for May to go to work!

[D. Hocking]

 

As if they read TD between innings to know this …

 

I suspect the Twins did  last year, but this year Molitor instituted the no smart phone ban during the game.  That might be one of the main reasons they seem to be playing better this season - the players are not engrossed and distracted by the game thread postings.  

[mnsportsgeek]

All hail Trevor May!

[Squirrel]

All right … good job by May and keeping the runner from scoring … I'm hopeful for the outcome of this game ...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Stranded at third.

 

A provocative title for a book, but what would it be about?

[Hrbowski]

I'm not surprised May is dominating the Rays, he also did it in spring training.
