[Hrbowski]

They have never pitched in a MLB game?

[USAFChief]

 

They are all batting less than .300?

As is seemingly every Twin since 2006.  

 

Yes, but no.

[USAFChief]

Winnah!!

 

All of them have drawn more walks this year than Eddie Rosario.

[Hrbowski]

WE WHUPPED THEM!!!! WE WHUPPED THEM ALL!!!!!!!! YOU'LL THINK TWICE BEFORE MESSING WITH PAUL L. MOLITOR!!!!!!!

Not any more, we hope.

I got a pen and paper, then i realized i don't know how to draw a walk neither...

 

But i'm glad we came out on top. Coulda had a little more drama from Perkins, just to know he's still sharp. But not a big deal. I'm sure i'm in the minority there.

This was a good post to end up taking a nap on...

 

I woke up for the second homer, but was too lazy to find an image of another food service utensil.

 

Guess it's time to go to spatula city again...

Is that next to Helmart?

Ya know, i've never gone...

 

It's an 80's movie reference, perhaps obscure? Maybe not, as most people have probably heard of Weird Al...

Actually, my next guess was

"didn't homer in their first big league at bat like Eddie Rosario did."

Rush Limbaugh used to run the Spatula City spoof. Joe Soucheray and Garage Logic used to do a parody about helmets and the Helmart Store, if memory serves.

My apologies.

 

It is i who failed to pick up on a reference.

 

I'm not familiar with helmart and would not mind being enlightened, if there is further insight to provided by this parody.

 

Anyway, shall be checkin' ye olde minor league scores, and hopefully getting a good night's sleep so i won't miss any of tomorrow's game.

The commercial spoof featured someone getting hit in the head with a cupboard door and from there segued into safety and helmets for everyone for every situation. It was a hoot. However, that particular spoof probably goes back 20+ years. I did some searching but cannot find the audio.

Side note: Did anyone else, besides Twins management, see the emergence of Rosario coming?

 

not saying i'm nostrodamus, but when puerto rico put a 21-year-old eddie rosario in the outfield for the 2013 world baseball classic, it seemed like the twins had somebody worth keeping an eye on ...

 

 

So, people do actually read game thread starters. I'm now officially validated. Woo hoo!!

+20000000000 points for the SNL Jeopardy reference, but...

 

 

not the answer I was looking for.

That is a Cheers reference actually
