Game Thread, Twins @ Indians, 8/9 @12:10 pm CT

Ugh. Tuned in late, first thing I hear from the Fox Sports team is speculation on no-hitters.

 

[spinowner]

At least it wasn't a cheap hit.

[Jerr]

Ohhhh, we destroy the no-hitter....whooopppeeee!

[Riverbrian]

 

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.

 

I never know what i'm discussing... Even when I'm discussing it. 

[GCTF]

Mauer ruins everything.

[Riverbrian]

 

Ohhhh, we destroy the no-hitter....whooopppeeee!

 

I can go shopping now

[ashbury]

Mauer breaks it up. Guess I'll stick around.

 

/ edit: RB and I reach opposite conclusions...

[USAFChief]

How to know the Twins are sucking, and have been for a while:

 

Bremergasm over a two out slap single to left from your three hole hitter to break up a no-no in the top of the 7th of a game you trail 8-0.

 

 

[S.]

 

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

 

I dunno, i think you could kill a lot of this team and not weaken it one bit.

[jimbo92107]

Miguel Sano is learning a lot today.

[Winston Smith]

Kind of sad Mauer wastes one of his few hits in a game down 8-0. Dozier spits on his hat, what a team.

[ashbury]

LOL, Dozier drools on his cap during GBA.

[jimmer]

Twins lead baseball in SV%

punch line contest:

 

A young lady had just taken up golf.  One day she went out to play, and got stung by a bee shortly after the round started.  It hurt so bad, she took the cart and headed in for medical attention.  When she got to the clubhouse, the pro saw her and asked what had happened.

 

lady:  "I got stung by  a bee."

 

Pro:  "Oh, that's terrible.  Where."

 

lady:  "Right between the first and second holes."

 

Pro:

Dick:  "(May) has been the most trusted late reliever..."

 

me:  yeah, all one times they've used him there.

[Gibby]

 

  Ok, I just made the number 1 jalapeno mistake. I do feel stronger.

Funny, but not touching that punchline    

[Blake]

I'm going to start a "bring back Cole DeVries" movement.

Do not understand post, not sure understanding is desired...

And the mistake is:..........?

was that your punchline contest entry?

[Gibby]

 

 

And the mistake is:..........?

 

  Not washing your hands after processing spicy chili's before touching sensitive areas of your person.

[Blake]

 

was that your punchline contest entry?

Actually, it was a random thought masquerading as a punchline contest entry.

[Winston Smith]

Thanks Jack, May should be starting.

[spinowner]

Hey, that sounds like the Kate Smith GBA, at least the first part. Back in 1974 the Philadelphia Flyers would play that recording before some of their games and the team had a 36-3-1 record in those games going into game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals. (I looked it up.) When it reached time for the song to be played before the game the arena went dark except for a spotlight where the rubber mat had been rolled out and out she walked. Of course the fans went nuts and the Flyers won the game 1-0. One of the greatest PR moves made in the history of pro sports.

I just KNEW I didn't want to understand that post.

Seriously? Rub your eyes or other places????  

Well, I think we all have done it, just hope they weren't really hot peppers, but it would be more funny
