Game Thread: White Sox @ Twins, 6/23 @ 7:10pm CT

[DaveW]

The bad news is teams have figured out how to beat the Twins: RHP

 

The good news is that's 27% of starters are LHP!!!!!

[Squirrel]

Well, wtf.

[USAFChief]

We've become the Sox.

[Riverbrian]

Man, that's a tough one. It's like you'd be stripping a Samurai of his sword. I need RiverBrian's advice.

Dear Riverabby,

 

I frequently photoshop on Twins Daily and I enjoy it. However one moderator who I respect immensely has a problem with any photo of Brian Dozier being photoshopped or anything done to eyeballs. Another moderator who I respect even more is always requesting my uniques photos and it puts me squarely in the middle. What should I do?

If you are good at golf... You should golf... Sometimes people want you to put the clubs away and that just means it easier to get a tee time for others.

Y2K was really only important to people selling Y2K seminars and mouse pads!

 

It is funny when you think back at how much hand wringing there was as 2000 approached - VCRs won't work -- planes will drop from the skies etc. and then it was a huge non-event.

 

Do some of the more senior posters remember if there was the same hype leading up to Y1K?

[John Kelsey]

That was a comically bad play by Torii. 

[glunn]

Geez.  The Twins are not looking sharp tonight.

[USAFChief]

Fugly.

[Squirrel]

We've become the Sox.

I blame the Olsen twins.

[DaveW]

Thompson is garbage, send him and duensing packing.

[stringer bell]

Wheels coming off.

Cue the Benny Hill music

You should ask Chief about Y1K BC

[Aggies7]

And now the comedy routine starts. Very disappointed in how the bullpen has performed in recent close games. Last nights game was another that should have been a springboard, but here we are again playing sluggishly.

Yes, I remember the time the handle on our crank phone broke at home. We had to drive over to the neighbor to let her know we were going to mow lawn, and then go to the store! .

[David HK]

Thompson- nice snag.  But...  OK, if you're a lights-out shut-down reliever, you can wear the ironic mullet.  If you can't get guys out, and give up late-inning runs, you need to cut the "party in the back."  Even if only to change the mojo...

[USAFChief]

I believe the hullaballoo was about 999 BC, not 1000.  Changing of the thousands digit, y'know.

[Mike Sixel]

How's that whole leadership thing going tonight for Hunter?

 

Not having cable.....why can't Buxton steal?

[hybridbear]

Time to DFA Thompson. There was an awful article in the Star Tribune today trying to absolve him of blame for his recent poor performance.

[Platoon]

This was not the first throw Hunter has made that not only missed a base, it missed the entire infield. This one almost hit a light rail car.

Ask for Always33's advice.

Dear Stealers Wheel in Barkville

If you are good at golf... You should golf... Sometimes people want you to put the clubs away and that just means it easier to get a tee time for others. But just because the one always wants you to play golf, doesn't mean you should right then and there. When in doubt, listen to your mother.

FTFY

"...right then and their" what?

[David HK]

I still have some old stone tablets lying around with warning messages on them.  We thought there'd be no more flint, hence no more fire.  Fire good.

[Squirrel]

"...right then and their" what?

I already corrected it.

[Riverbrian]

Wheels coming off.

Its the only way the White Sox can win. Someone has to out-wheel off them.

Not quickly enough, you didn't.  

[Aggies7]

Brutal brutal bullpen work.

[Squirrel]

Nope.
