Game Thread: Twins @ Orioles, 8/22 @ 6:05pm CT

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

So what about the 2002 All Star Game?

I knew I needed to think harder before I posted that.

[Willihammer]

Twins 6-0hhhhh against the Orioles!

[jimbo92107]

Buxton drove in the winning run. Good game.

[Bark's Lounge]

Where it stands right now - this has been a good series for the Twins. Cut the O's heads off tomorrow and it's a dream come true.

 

The Jepsen pick-up, no matter what our gripes at the time were, has definitely helped us out because of the Perkins' injury.

[Riverbrian]

 

Maybe I shouldn't say this, but I can't help it. If you start at 50 feet away and move 10 feet closer each time that means 10 feet away would be the fifth time you asked. (So obviously that means she didn't hear you the first time.)

 

Be Careful... I got Skippy from Family Ties mad at me kind of like this.

 

True Story: His real name is Marc Price. He also does a comedy act (not very good) and he came to town. 

 

After the Show... I knew the club owner and he invited me to hang out with Skippy and the three of us were just sitting there having some drinks and Skippy asked what we thought of his new material. He mentioned his Regina Joke specifically and what did we think of it. 

 

The Joke started with I was in Regina Saskatchewan. 

 

To Keep this is somewhat PG... Just use your imagination...  The Punchline was C'mon it's just one letter off. 

 

So Skippy asked the both of us what we thought of the joke... The Club Owner was all... It was great... Wonderful... and I said... Umm... Actually it's two letters off. 

 

And Skippy glares at me and says... Well that wouldn't have been as funny... and he stormed off. 

 

and that was the last I saw of Skippy. 

[Riverbrian]

 

I am at the airport right now, just purchased my ticket. I'll be at your place around 4:00am.

 

I'd be there sooner, but the only flight available was into Lansing.

 

Yeah... I've flown twice and both times out of Kalamazoo just to save 200 bucks. Apparently flying into Grand Rapids is more expensive because the terminal is paved in gold or something. 

[spinowner]

Why oh why can't we play games like this against the Yankees?

You are living in the Dubai of the Americas.

+++++. 

 

 

 

and that was the last I saw of Skippy. 

 

The game threads have on occasion gone a little off topic, but of all the things that would come up here -- I never in a million years would have guessed there would be a post about an angry Skippy.  

 

I wish Mallory would have put a restraining order on him - he needed to be exiled from the show.

 

It also sounds like his jokes would not live up to the caliber of the ones told here.

I think Skippy was right? Asskatechewan was the joke punchline... correct?

[JB_Iowa]

Another small ball win. That's encouraging.

The stalker I didn't understand was Steve Urkel - I mean, Carl's a cop fer cryin out loud!

By Being consistently off topic... we are always on topic. 

[Ultima Ratio]

Shout a hip hooray!!!

Evens out. We're like the Yankees against the O's.

That's what i keep forgetting to give in game thread intros...

 

A topic!

But in the Latin alphabet...

 

Hey, could that be what an Lpad is?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

The Twins are more like a mini-roll. A very very small roll.

Supersize me!

 

(unless of course i'm a little premature... I suppose it might be reasonable to wait a little still)

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Very interesting tidbit from Molitor in the post game interview; Suzuki's bunt was not a call from the dugout, but it was Suzuki acting on his own!

[Pius Jefferson]

About four innings away from the Twins officially being 1.5 games out of the second wildcard spot. 

[TwinsCD]

I know I will repeat this at the beginning of tomorrow's game thread but you have no idea how giddy I will be if the Twins win tomorrow's game.

 

Jays did their job tonight.  Now we have to root for the Tigers tomorrow.

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Twins have taken what started out as a miserable road trip and are now 3-3.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Twins have now won 3 of 4 series, including two from teams ahead of them in the WC race.
