Game Thread: Rays@Twins, 5/17, 1:10 p.m.

[Bark's Lounge]

The Marlins are dim-wits. Mike Redmond has been dismissed as manager.

 

I guess you could call that a Circus Boy Update.

[blairpaul715]

Where is the Stick the Fork in him, about Duensing, oh yea, right, no one really cares about him LOL......c'mon Duensing, get out of this, dammit!!!!!

[drock2190]

Why do the Twins still have Duensing?

 

WHY?!

[blairpaul715]

Can we dismiss him after today?????? I have no idea what manage was thinking going to Arb with him, what we paying him $2.5M????

[blairpaul715]

We were only down 3-1 going into this inning, have a day off tomorrow, why not use your best pitchers, Thompson over Duensing if you are going to use a lefthander, and I guess now it doesnt matter, now that Tonkin hasnt done much, and we really only have 3 Relievers we can depend on right now, Perkins, Boyer(incredibly) and Thompson.

[drock2190]

Stauffer needs to come up here so they can release Duensing.

 

Then when Stauffer stinks up the joint, they need to release him too.

I need a good INSTRUMENTAL version of "Keep the Home Fires Burning".

 

Doesn't have to be free but I don't want any vocals.

 

Driving me crazy.

 

 

Oh, the WW1 song.

I see you clarified. Still, I want to recommend this old favorite that your question reminded me of. Funk/blues - tinged with the disco of the era, but whatcha gonna do. (Warning, PG-13 lyrics and adult theme. She's nasty but fun.)

Nice setup by JB.  The Twins need to continue her winning streak today.  RB needs to activate that rabbit foot.

 

The Twins are going to have to go some -- and the rain is going to have to hold off -- to continue my streak.

 

Bah.

[kydoty]

The rain can start at any time and just put them out of their misery.

Huh, my roommate listens to that song WITH the lyrics.

Somehow I don't think that would go over too well on Memorial Day in one of the most conservative counties in the country.

[ashbury]

That's it in a nutshell, isn't it?

[Platoon]

I had a rabbits foot surgically implanted. Its supposed to provide some jinx protection.

 

So far.. I've noticed that I run faster and have a hard time finding shoes that fit.

anyone but Brian I would ask where it was implanted! But in this case that's NOT a good idea!

[glunn]

Those 5 runs are on me.  I took a break to tend my worm bin.

Wasn't a particularly constructive suggestion, I know.

Let's see if I can make a post on a phone: What doesn't your roommate listen to?

The lack of response to this is all the proof I need that this is a slow Game Thread.

Country, heavy metal, rap. I tried to get him to listen to country, but he didn't like it.

And Sundays are usually a good day for our threads.

I didn't make any comment because I was afraid of to response.

[formerly33]

At least Danny and Cory know how to be entertaining no matter what.

[formerly33]

I just right-swiped my trackpad to put up the time since I was checking to see what the inning was - or trying to, that is. I think that Twins games should be Microsoft's next feature on their charms bar.

[formerly33]

This thread is eerily silent.

OK, I'm done with another draft writeup, so I might participate a little more, but there isn't much to talk about.

No? You and I can always think of something entertaining to talk about. The problem is, if we're going to talk alone, we don't exactly have to put it on Twins Daily. Not all of our conversations need to be documented.

[JB_Iowa]

Seeing a lot of empty seats at TF.

 

To cheer me up, we're getting another little rain shower.

 

They are so funny - very little thunder or lightning -- but these strong gusts that blow the rain sideways.

But maybe your parents would prefer that they were.

If we had anything really important to say, it would be said in private.

[JB_Iowa]

Just read the post about Redmond.  That stinks.

8-1, end of 8. CBU.

 

_{^{/ we can at least do that.}}
