Game Thread: Twins vs Mariners, 8/1/15, 6:10 PM CDT

  It's great seeing Jim Perry. I grew up with his son Chris. As much as I hate living here, I had some cool neighbors.

I grew up next door to Carl and Dee Bornhorst. They were pretty nice.

The offense is sputtering. Hunter is one AB away from the .240's. Remind me again why we can't have Arcia on this team?

  If we get a ballgirl that flashes the leather?

You have lived a different existence than I have.

  I always heard that the Bomhorst's were salt of the earth.

My Neighbor was Mayor Reeves. We used his sidewalk as a goal line when we played football.

2-1 Mariners after six. CBU.

  Mr. Sloan's yard was our endzone.

Cuz he has options

You could even buy it from him at his grocery store.

I lived next to an elderly widow! She was not very nice at all.

But who then will mentor?

Our football field must have been bigger than yours. 

 

But then again... I was pretty close to Canada growing up.

Neither was I, which made the Bornhorsts all that much more admirable..

Mrs Bornhorst's rose garden was our short porch.

[Gibby]

 

  You guys are awesome tonight..what gives?

[Platoon]

tonight???

[ashbury]

I don't know if that double to left-center was catchable, but Hicks had a chance to make it closer if he hadn't, I dunno, lollygagged.

[Riverbrian]

 

You have lived a different existence than I have.

 

Now try to imagine if his existence was exactly the same. 

[ashbury]

Nice throw from Hicks to freeze the runner on third.

[howeda7]

Why not O'Rourke here?

[ScrapTheNickname]

I thought Gibson was toast after the double. Turns out he was untoasted.

I still laugh every time I come home to visit Dad. You can still see a square outline on the garage door. In the spot where I had black electric tape to represent a strike zone. 

 

That tape was probably on the garage door for a couple of years. And you can still see where it ate away at the paint... 30 years later. 

 

 

[Craig Arko]

Big time job from Gibson there.

Might be able to top that'un. The back wall of our brick garage was bowed inward. My dad never said a word.
