wow.... nice to join a game thread with a 7-0 lead in the 2nd... This will probably be Nolasco's one gem of the season now.

 

Diehard... Those two singles to lead off the 2nd are on you

[Bark's Lounge]

 

Nope... I need a photo of President Ford Jamming on Guitar with the Little River Band

Sorry, Nolasco struck out the first batter in the 2nd.

[Riverbrian]

 

Things are going well tonight, maybe the Wolves can even get the first pick they worked so hard to earn for once.

 

Is that tonight?

 

I'm willing to bet that the Knicks get the #1 Pick.

[diehardtwinsfan]

and got a K for the next out. Nolasco is an NL pitcher.

LOL... That's Gold!!!

 

I'm sure they are doing "Cool Change" in that picture

[diehardtwinsfan]

Only thing I'm willing to bet on about the NBA lottery is that it's fixed.

Probably the Knicks or Lakers because basketball reasons.  Wolves are right at home with the 4th pick.

[kydoty]

Lol, they called that a hit.

I think the Wolves will get the #3 because it's a 2 big superstar draft.

So...what's it called when the Pirates' organist plays a tune that resembles something between Offenbach's Can Can and Saint-Saens' Tortues?

[Riverbrian]

1 run is OK... Diehard is off the hook

I'm not sure. But I'm going to avoid guessing Grunge or Nu-Metal.

[diehardtwinsfan]

yeah, I said Liriano would pitch a good game today, so I should be off the hook for any of my predictions.

[kydoty]

Yep.

 

We need a big man in the worst way.  So of course by the time our name will be called, the best player available will be D'Angelo Russell.

[Bark's Lounge]

Meet the new Nolasco, same as the old Nolasco!

 

I have not watched the game till this point. My niece was over and had control over the TV.

 

I'd rather Plouffe hit an HR and me not see it than Plouffe not hit a HR while I am watching the game.

 

That's me Boy!!!

Put the Philly Phanatic on Bass

[stringer bell]

If there are official scorers like that all around the NL, somebody might hit .400.

I think its 3 deep, Towns is the ultimate prize (and by far the best fit) but Russell and Okafor can both be studs.

[kydoty]

It still counts if it hits the foul poll on a bounce, right?

With my upcoming move to Michigan... I'm worried about my T-Wolves luke warm fandom turning into Piston cheering.

Yes... Unless it bounces off the beer man in foul territory first. 

[stringer bell]

Got the run back.

Don't worry, you'll meet enough ignorant fans up that way to keep you cheering for a lousy Wolves team. They will turn you off to the Pistons without much work.

They are a tough franchise to continue to follow lol, incompetence at almost every possible turn. Someday (aka when Glen Taylor sells the team and Flip isn't coaching) its going to be glorious when they are good however.

CBU:  Twins 8, Pirates 1 

After 3 innings

I hope so... I'll fit right in with ignorance... Feel right at home. 

 

As far as my affiliations... That's the way it has worked in my life. 

 

The Twins and Vikings are too deep rooted. I'm a lifer. But... The Wild and T-Wolves are still fairly new and haven't really been established and I'll be getting Pistons and Red Wings on the Tube nightly. 

 

I grew up in Northern Minnesota and I grew up a Gopher Fan in all sports. I moved to Grand Forks and UND Hockey took over and now I hate the Gophers in Hockey. Still Cheer for them in Football and Basketball but I can't support them anymore in Hockey. 

 

I was all about the North Stars when I was younger but when they left... It killed me and the Wild just haven't cemented me yet.

[stringer bell]

For most of the Pirates' lineup, the plan is "don't throw it over the plate".

[diehardtwinsfan]

what's going to really suck about it is the U of M fans (not Minnesota) and Michigan State fans.
