Game Thread: Cubs @ Twins, 6/21 @ 1:10pm CT

[Aggies7]

What a brutal offensive inning that was. Esp for the top of the order

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I want to say Andrew Albers ... not sure if that will be considered a valid response.

Could be... I didn't know what i was asking for, so i'm still trying to sort it out.

[stringer bell]

Let's see if they can get Rizzo out. Yes, yes they can.

[70charger]

Three hits in the game so far. Yuck. 

[stringer bell]

Nice job Pressly! Rally time!

[stringer bell]

Three weeks of depending on the pitching staff. Time for the lineup to come alive. When it happens it will be "as expected".

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hit it where they ain't.

[Aggies7]

Arrieta won't, but he should go the distance. We aren't making a peep.

[notoriousgod71]

Is the Twins offense still second in the league?

[Hrbowski]

Dumb Coghlan thought he had a homer.

[stringer bell]

Thompson isn't fooling many any more.

[Aggies7]

Thompson isn't fooling many any more.

His slide seemed to start when the offense went awol. If the twins don't find a consistent offense before the ASB, it's a done deal folks.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Thompson isn't fooling many any more.

You can fool all of the people some of the time...

[70charger]

That got out of hand pretty quick. Not working for Thompson post-injury, is it?

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Remember that time the twins had an offense that could get on base once in a while? That was pretty cool.

How much lower will buxtons BA drop until he gets a game off?

It can only drop very slowly at this point.

[drock2190]

If Thompson isn't sent down after the game, I will be disappointed

[stringer bell]

Bullpen--oy.

[Hrbowski]

Twins throwing another game away.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Well, if we'd done that, it'd have tied the game.

 

Oh well. Bases empty. No outs. Kinda like a new inning?

[formerly33]

This is not funny.

[70charger]

Well, ****.

 

Anybody seen any good movies lately?

[Aggies7]

Well it's been a fun ride. Thought we had it turned around. Offense just won't click consistently and the bullpen is running out of reliable arms. We're getting worked at home far too often.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Twins throwing another game away.

 

Not to be confused with pitching...

 

It's not over yet!

[stringer bell]

Probably Tonkin can ride with him.

[Circus Boy]

One minute, 2-0. Turn around and it's 8-0. Not good.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

 

Well, ****.

What we do in the dark.

 

Thought it was pretty good take on the vampire mockumentary genre.

 

But i'm a sucker for anything concerning Flight of the Conchords folk...

[drock2190]

Well they weren't going to score any runs anyways so might as well show the front office they need better relief pitchers

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

One minute, 2-0. Turn around and it's 8-0. Not good.

In all fairness, it's felt like an 8-0 game since the first inning. No life at all today.

 

Best advice is to take advantage of a perrenielly underachieving White Six team next week.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

One minute, 2-0. Turn around and it's 8-0. Not good.

 

Pssst.

 

Try turning around in the other direction a couple of times...

 

Who knows, it might work.

[stringer bell]

I'm trying to figure out Will Farrell & Kristen Wiig's Lifetime movie.
