Game Thread: Twins v Yankees, 7/26 @ 1:10 pm CT

Got any sour cream or an avocado?

Or cilantro?

Sounds good, enjoy

 

No... but I could get some.

 

I'm liking the idea of Sour Cream with that.

Can we trade Gibson for a good C or SS? Before today's game might have been a good time to "sell high". I sure hope the Twins aren't buyers at the trade deadline. They should be sellers. It's obvious that they are nowhere near as good as KC.

[Winston Smith]

Umpires do it to the Twins again.

[Danchat]

Twins are down 7-1....

 

Anyone up for betting today? The current over/under on Dave starting new topics about how bad the Twins are is currently at 1.5.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Dozier is on.

 

Like where this is going...

[Winston Smith]

There's the double  play Dick has been hoping for, half inning late.

They don't have to be... Just get in to the playoffs and get hot. If you don't get in... It doesn't matter if you are hot or cold. 

 

Just get in and let's see what happens. 

 

Buy Baby Buy.

Mauer now 1 for 3.

 

Shane is all wet!!! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because he went to Lake Michigan

What about question marks?

That got me giggling. 

 

Good One

Feeling like it is getting harder to get Tulo for that Gibson-centered trade now.

[Riverbrian]

Dear Terry Ryan,

 

Bullpen... Bullpen... Bullpen

 

Please

 

Thank You

 

Sincerely,

 

Riverbrian

Not just from the Rockies standpoint... I also can't see the Twins doing that either.

 

The Twins watch health to closely in my opinion and I still don't expect the Twins to go that big and I wonder if Tulo can block... If he can... He will.

9 outs left to score 7 runs. Whaddya say, folks?

[Platoon]

But you still obviously love ellipses. I personally enjoy a semi-colon after lunch.

That's normally when I enjoy my colon also!

Conga conga conga.

It would be cool... I hope it's this inning... because I only got about one more in me. Unless they can string a few together to entice me for another. 

[AlwaysinModeration]

There is the fastball Sano was looking for....97, low outside corner. No problem!

Good One

I am honored!

Ouch.

[Riverbrian]

Alright

 

That's enough

 

I gotta go see if I ruin my dinner tonight 

 

or succeed

 

It's probably 50-50 right now. 

 

Have a nice rest of your Sunday

At least Graham is looking good today.  Graham seems to have a lot of potential.

[Craig Arko]

@afansview: Today's God Bless America singer at Target Field was like watching Mike Pelfrey work with runners on base. Gotta pick up the pace!

 

 

They're all pretty much like that, aren't they?

[Platoon]

BTW... I tried Gibby's suggestion to cook my bacon in the oven this morning and it worked out great. 

 

I can now cook Bacon and Eggs and Hamburger Helper.

 

The progress I'm making doing things I never used to do is slow but moving in the right direction.

 

At the local convenience stores they have excellent pre made pizzas on cardboard! (The cardboard is the one on the bottom). I generally put it in that boxy thingy under the stove top, and set it for like 550. I used to do it at 450, but found it took almost 10 min! Who has that much time to spend cooking!

[glunn]

I wish that Sano would NEVER slide head first, unless it is in a World Series game.  Not worth the risk.

Probably protecting the ankle.

Brian should have been in So MN today. When I went into my shop, wherein a standup freezer and stand up fridge are located I found the door was left ajar on the former. So there would have been an excellent selection of freshly thawed culinary delights too numerous to eat. He could have feasted, at least for the day. Our nearby living daughter was delighted, she got to cancel grocery shopping, but the garbage man will unfortunately be having hernia surgery at the end of the month!

Conga conga conga.

If it's okay with everyone else, i think the Conga line gimmick is gettin' sent down to AAA to work on its consistency...

 

I think our bane there were the double plays. If not for them, we might have had something.

[AlwaysinModeration]

3-6 vs As, Angels and Yankees. Meh.

 

Maybe better next week.

Maybe hula-hoops instead.
