That guy is making me nuts.  If I was at the park, I'd find that doody-head and ask him politely to STFU.  But only because it's Canada, and I can reasonably be assured he's not armed.

 

Hes still better than the way their announcer keeps saying two (teeuuu)

[twinsnorth49]

 

Not too difficult. You just say, "Excuse me, Mayor Ford, would you be so kind to try to keep it down just a touch?"

No way Ford would be that coherent.

[Squirrel]

 

Who?......how? 

 

I wish I could share your optimism but I've yet to see anyone tonight who has a clue at the plate.

Concur.

 

Sadly so.

[DiscGolfer]

Is David Price pitching again?  I thought Toronto's pitching was supposed to be bad.

Yeah, Buck is bloody annoying.

[zchrz]

Excuse me sir there is no smok... wait really, wtf is that.

[USAFChief]

 

Odd they didn't PH Cow Bell there for Revere.

He would've faced Fien, not O'Rourke.  Probably didn't want to lessen the defense up 2.

[twinsnorth49]

 

Toronto is f***ing huge. I don't know what they call the extra freeways on the side, but they are as big as 494! And then there is the main one in the middle, about 8 lanes also. If you are looking for the Smith St exit, the first sign might be 6 clicks before you get there.

 

You mean the 401? One of the main reasons to hate Toronto...................this picture is at Noon!!

[DiscGolfer]

that gives me anxiety just looking at it

Every time Brian starts mocking Chicago traffic, I'm showing him this picture.

[DaveW]

Screw this team, what a bunch of soft *******s, at least pretend to care about this game.

[Aggies7]

I think Erik Estrada would have two hit the twins tonight. Pathetic.

[Squirrel]

The crash has been mighty.

[Platoon]

I'm watching the Canadian feed, can anyone else hear the guy in the crowd who just keeps screaming "Phillip, Phillip" incessantly at the top of his lungs? As well as the first name of whichever Twin happens to be at the plate.

Is that what he was saying? I don't speak Canadian, but I could hear him yelling something!

But cmon guys dance party if we win!

[DiscGolfer]

foul by about a centimeter

[twinsnorth49]

Win.....lol........good one zchrz!

[zchrz]

 

Win.....lol........good one zchrz!

 

Watch it!  I'll get real mad and throw some clothes on the field!

[DaveW]

Win.....lol........good one zchrz!

What is this win you speak of?

[twinsnorth49]

Plouffe...................sigh. It landed on the pretend grass even.

[twinsnorth49]

 

Watch it!  I'll get real mad and throw some clothes on the field!

Speaking of Mr. clothes off, isn't time he charactered us a win?

[David HK]

Plouffe played that one like a new daddy- no sleep for days.  And now, another 4-out inning for the club who mashes everything.

Yeah, I'm sure Trev is pulling night duty with the little tyke.

[DaveW]

If they lose this game the season is in serious danger of going into a full tailspin. Do you make a big move (demote/cut a couple guys) or do you fire brunansky or Ryan etc? It's clear that the status quo at this point is not the answer. Something needs to be changed

[zchrz]

Twennny Teuuu game hitting streak!

If we're going to go on who should be doing what, but isn't...

 

 

Hunter is pretty far down my list.

 

I'd start with wondering when Mr HOF lock, $24M a year is going to start hitting at a league average pace.

 

But that's just me.

[DaveW]

Yeah, I'm sure Trev is pulling night duty with the little tyke.

Especially considering the kid is likely no where near Toronto...

Mauer was hitting very well his last 40 games, this last week he has been in a funk like the rest of the offense not named Sano

[DaveW]

Why is Nunez on this team?

[Aggies7]

At what point do you start to wonder about the actual brightness of the twins future? You have to expect that once "the book gets out" on our young guys, their numbers will regress and so far whatever character we thought the club had when they were throwing their gloves on the field and winning every night seems to be non-existent. There really hasn't been one "great" starter all year for the twins...the bullpen has been dreadful for months and the only solid guy we had now has the yips. The jury is still out on Molitor too. Right now, we have no catcher, a 22 million dollar first baseman not nearly producing enough, a platoon at short stop, an up and down 3B, a 40 year old RF and an offense that can't do squat. Have to wonder about the future as much as the present.
