That an invitation????? 

 

  We are still going to brew and smoke one weekend. My kid keeps making rosters so I keep travelling. Trying to decide if I'm going to Japan later this month for the world cup. It's an Olympic qualifier, so it's a biggie.

Too early to call a no-hitter? Korey Kluber looks pretty good. Pretty good is good enough to no-hit this team today.

You got a good life and glad your kid got her Mom's genes

cream cheese?

If we got pics, we could tell.

[Riverbrian]

You gotta give the front office credit. 

 

It's like they knew we'd need 9 in the bullpen.

 Cream cheese mixed with some well aged English cheddar. I was going to put some minced fresh pineapple in it, but opted for a little honey instead.

[Riverbrian]

Can't believe i"m still watching. The lure of a no-no I guess. 

 

Got the Laundry in the washer... Remember to use detergent this time. 

 

When I move it over the Dryer... I'll probably do my shopping. 

 

So... I hope the Twins get a hit so I don't feel like I'm missing something.

I'm sitting in my garage smoking ribs and bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos.

Just finished eating ribs with sweet corn out of the garden (the ribs didn't come out of the garden). Masterbuilt electric smoker is the best purchase I've made in a long time.

Been cooking pulled beef and not paying much attention to stats....just the beef and this thread.....NO HITS???? 

This must end!!!!!!!

I'm going to try a Taco Casserole Tonight. It says easy on the recipe so I have a 50-50 chance of pulling it off. 

 

The recipe says I need a baking dish... And Surprise Surprise... I don't have one. 

 

Guess that goes on the list... Along with the Pinto Beans and Tomato Sauce and Taco Seasoning... Well everything the recipe calls for.

see, I knew I'd get a good idea by asking.

 

I will try that next time.

Well, with the complete waste of baseball time the Twins have turned into it's going to make my upcoming game threads rather interesting.

 

 

[Riverbrian]

It's funny... 8-0 doesn't feel any worse than 7-0 

[jimbo92107]

They say you learn more from failure than from success. The Twins are really learning a lot today.

 

This is one mean regression.

  Every day is a learning process for me.

Before texting, there was the signal drum.

Yeah... That's the Spirit... What doesn't kill you... only makes you stronger.

 

On the Other hand... What Kills you... Weakens you quite a bit.

Don't signal drum while driving.

 

I'm not sure yet about smoke signals...

[Riverbrian]

When does Molly throw the bats into the shower.

 

Or as he done that already? 

[Blake]

 

 

  Every day is a learning process for me.

 

So, "epic fail" means we learned more?

[USAFChief]

Back to Mauer and DPs...it does take a certain talent to find a way to hit into a DP when there's only been one friggin base runner all GD game.

[Vanimal46]

So most Sundays I go to my local watering hole to enjoy a cocktail or 3, and watch the Twins. Today someone requested to put NASCAR on a TV, so the bartender asked "Is anyone watching the Indians game?"

 

I was too embarrassed to say something, so I'm letting NASCAR take precedent over this garbage today.

[jimbo92107]

And Joe Mauer grounds out to second. Or strikes out...

 

OMG. Proved me wrong, Joe.

I knew there would be some statistical evidence to the contrary. 

here I thought the discussion was about whether or not the pitching staff had been serving up meatballs or not.  That is what you said, right?  Having the least amount of Ks and the worst BAA kind of suggest that it's been the case most of the season.  Whether or not we have been in contention despite that is a different discussion.

2pm here in Mpls. and looks and feels like 8pm with the rain and this game.
