Game Thread: Twins v Yankees, 7/25 @ 6:10pm CT

[JB_Iowa]

Are you kidding me?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sano!

 

Hit 'em where they ain't!

[USAFChief]

Pretty bad strike three call to Plouffe-see, IMO.

 

Better open up the zone for Milone too, blue.

[USAFChief]

Fork, stuck.

[JB_Iowa]

TORII!!!!

[Squirrel]

GONE! 3-RUN BUNT BY TORII HUNTER!!!

[JB_Iowa]

Score looks familiar.

[Halsey Hall]

Poof gets all the credit here for taking strike 3 and not hitting into the dp, to set up a Torii blast!  Hats off to poof.

[JB_Iowa]

Torii passes Kirby on the Twins all-time home run list.

[Squirrel]

After 3, Twins up 5-0 ... with 2 HRs on the board, how many more will they have this game?

[Squirrel]

Brian's working his way through the thread ...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Another bit of ignorance on my part.

 

Any rhyme or reason as to whether or not the names are on the uniforms?

[USAFChief]

Let's hope he gets farther than he did trying to work his way through college.

[Jham]

Nice to see milone bounce back if only for a few innings.

[howeda7]

Every time I think he's showing his age, he goes and does something like this...

[JB_Iowa]

Another old-man HR there.

[USAFChief]

I blame Jham.

[Squirrel]

Well, poop. I can't stand ARod.

The '60's throwback unis have no names because that's the way it was 50 years ago. And beyond that, most teams do not put names on the backs of home unis, although I think the Twins do on their newest ones.

[Jham]

Hmmm... feel like that hr was my fault...

[howeda7]

The scoreless streak by the starters ends at 18 2/3?

[Squirrel]

I blame Jham.

Agreed.

[Squirrel]

Hmmm... feel like that hr was my fault...

It was.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I blame Jham.

But it's totally acceptable to break up a no hitter with a bunt, isn't it?

[Blake]

Molitor is a genius batting Hicks 2nd.

 

Or do we still need to put a fork in Molitor?

I'm not sure what to say. But for you to say something nice about Plouffe. Maybe I should try and think of something nice to say about Delmon Young.

It's gonna take me awhile... I'll get back to it later.

We can prolly live with that.

[Squirrel]

We can prolly live with that.

Well, I hope so, otherwise we'd have a lot of dead people around.

Thanks.

 

Some rhyme/reason, but it takes second place to historical accuracy.

 

From a usefulness perspective, i'd expect generally names on visiting uniforms as it is slightly more reasonable to expect home fans to know the numbers...

 

But that isn't thinking very hard, and life is always more complicated than that...
