Love it.

Geez ... you are really on it today ... but that one is as scary as it is funny.

[jimbo92107]

Delmon Young is available? See ya later, Jose Berrios!

[Squirrel]

Does every broadcast team for the opposing team reference to MTM theme song???

[Circus Boy]

For once, Perk gets to toy with the bottom of the order. Me likey the odds.

How do you guys rate Perk's Lincoln beard? I'm thinking 7 out of 10.

Three wins in a row. A streak. This is fun.

The Cubs' broadcasters played it, a few times. Not all the way through, but there it was ... as if Minneapolis has no one famous other than MTM.

 

Although ... I did take a few moderators on a mini-tour of Mpls last August, and we drove by the house.

10 out of 10 for accuracy to style.

 

5 out 10 for appropriateness of style.

[jimbo92107]

"Thank you for watching. This game has ended."

 

That would look good on a tombstone...

I like beards. Mostly. But I need the 'stache with the beard otherwise you just look Amish. So I give him a 4.8.

Milone - 1.43 ERA in last seven starts. Second coming of Bob Gibson?

He kept it rollin' today, that's for sure. We hit some gold with this so far. I almost hold my breath each time thinking 'This has gotta give at some point' and then he turns in another ace performance!

Perfect timing with Pelf coming back to earth in June and July

Nice save @glenperkins - you tied Eddie Guardado for 3rd on the #MNTwins all time list. 116!

Also think he tied the BP coach for all time saves today.

You should put this in the 'Fun with Numbers 2015' thread!

Hmm ... Orioles are looking to trade Delmon for pitching ...

Glen Perkins - All-Star closer.  I don't think many people would have been predicting this 5 (or 6 years ago - I am losing track of time).
