Game Thread, Twins vs. Cubs, 6/20 @ 1:10 pm CT

We don't care but Wisconsin Dells obviously spent money with FSN in case we do.

I was always a fan of Hot Springs, SD.

 

I do regret that my family never checked out the Dells while i was an actual Minnesotan...

 

But bein' an adult now, i suppose i can go when i want, life permitting...

Baseball is weird.

RIP, George.

 

I also admit, I uttered 5* of the 7 words you can't say on TV on the DP ball.

 

*#'s 1,2,3,5 and 6 in case anyone's keeping track.

Baseball is weird.  Lester is a good pitcher, and throw the 60 ft to home plate with precision over and over, at over 90 MPH.

 

But he develops some sort of inexplicable inability to throw the ball to first base, and teams run wild on him.

 

Baseball is weird.

Steve Blass, Steve Sax, Dave Engle, Chuck Knoblauch and Matt Garza all seemed to develop mental blocks with their throwing.

I cooked for the first time in Michigan

Followed the recipe and it tastes alright.

Although... When the instructions say simmer for 10 minutes... I'm not sure what number that is on the dial thing.

Boil, then turn it off

KKKKUUUURRRRRRTTTTTTT

[formerly33]

That. Looked. AWESOME.

[USAFChief]

Zuke goes second deck to left.

 

As expected.

[Vanimal46]

Touch em all Kurt Suzuki!!

And Carlin is funny.

 

Thanks!

 

Oh, and Suzuki scores from home. Clever, that!

[Craig Arko]

Stick a fork in Zuke.

[Riverbrian]

Mr. Suzuki

Zuke goes second deck to left.

 

As expected.

It was pretty much a given.

And the tornado sirens go off in celebration. At least in my neighborhood, unless I can hear them coming all the way from Target Field, which would explain why it took a minute or two to get here.

Who's more deserving of an all star spot:

 

Ron Coomer in 1999

Omar Infante in 2015

[Jerr]

Twins 1 to NOTHING for Cubbies

[stringer bell]

Two consecutive things where I agree 100% with Bremer. Dozier should be an All-Star and could lose it because of the "Royal Flush" and Zuke hit that ball about as far as he ever can or will.

May gets a backwards K.

[Vanimal46]

I really enjoy watching May pitch. I know we all have our different opinions of how the rotation will shape out after Santana, but I really want May to stick.

[Circus Boy]

I was chastised severely for my defense of Mr. Zuke the other day on this very board. Now you all cheer. Just remember: When Zuke is inducted into the HOF -- no thanks to any of you -- he'll ask me to give his introduction.

He may be our best pitcher

[USAFChief]

Don't be giving up any 0-2 hits, Trevor.

You should put down a (non refundable) deposit on travel accomodations to Cooperstown now.

FSN has a man crush on Mr. Rizzo. 

[stringer bell]

Don't like Rizzo coming up with runners on.

[Guest]

 

He may be our best pitcher

He MAY be our best pitcher?

 

I see what you dd there.

[Vanimal46]

He may be our best pitcher

I'd rank them Pelfrey, May, Gibson, Hughes, Milone right now. Never would have said Pelf #1 any other year...

I like the Dells... I recommend it. Especially if you have some young kids to take with you.

 

Of all the places we travelled to as a family... It was the place we visited 3 times over the years because it was the kids favorite by far.

 

It's hard to imagine that they would like a water park over the worlds largest pig made out of corn but they liked the water park better.

[Guest]

Rizzo had no business swinging at that pitch and even less business actually hitting it fair.

[Mill1634]

We need to get out of this
