Article: Game Thread: Twins @ Rays, 8/25 @ 6:10pm CT

[David HK]

I seriously gotta work, but...  Mr. Rays announcer just did the curse-thing, talking about how Cedeno had had such a successful scoreless streak, on the very pitch----- boom.

[USAFChief]

I went hunting recently with a couple of my friends.  Terrible thing...it's really hot here, my one friend is a bit overweight, and with all the trecking around, he got really, really tired, and keeled over with an apparent heart attack.

 

My other friend frantically called 911, and screamed into the phone "Bill's dropped over dead!"

 

The 911 operator tried to calm us down, and told my friend,"well, lets make sure your friend is really dead."

 

The operator hears the line go silent for a few seconds, then hears a shot.

 

Then my friend comes back on the line and says, "OK, what next?"

[Gibby]

 

 

"That's the one thing there's just
too little of..."

Sorry. It sounded like lyrics, what could i do?

 

Oh crap, I just came up with the melody.

[twinsnorth49]

Rosario says "plate discipline? Good one dude".

I caught up on this game thread to read this?

Heh.

You're welcome.

Like all Twinks fans, I loathe losing to the likes of the Yanks.  But I equally hate losing to this team, non-major-league city, stupid nickname that was changed because, well, we can't speak of 'the Devil', ridiculous, horrible, worse-than-the-Metrodome stadium with the fake grass not a color found in nature, should have been contracted or at least the top of the list instead of the Twinkies back in the day, hack announcer named Dwayne-havin'....  should I continue?  If I do, I'm gonna have to start including my relaticks that live there...

I thought the name was meant to be ironic, appealing to cheap hipsters. Isn't their management strategy trade anyone away due for a rays?

He's one of those dudes that swing at everything in BP.

Yeah, i know. I'll shoulder the blame of driving it home, but credit twinsnorth49 for the original thought.

  Rats, I hit like when I meant to hit report.

Rays broadcast with a little eye candy. 

 

Nice

[LaBombo]

 

Fien's got this.

 

Well, he hasn't been associated with a hit since 'The English Patient', so we've got that going for us.     Which is nice.

[Gibby]

Loney looked like me navigaiting the back steps, in the dark, after a few.

Definitely leading the GOTG standings tonight.

They never learn, do they?

The Twins pen seems like it might have shaped up.

[twinsnorth49]

I think Buxton would have caught that if it dropped at the 2nd base bag.

I PREDICT the game will end 7-11 with a Circle K.

Don't want to see creepy meat guy.

I remember our first child.  Mrs Chief and I were nervous as all get out.  Right at the 9 month point, still no baby, and a couple days went by, still nothing.

 

Then one night my wife starts shouting "Can't.  Won't!  Shouldn't!!  MUSTN'T!!!!"

 

I immediately took her out to the car and headed for the hospital.  

 

 

...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The contractions had finally started.

It's so quiet in THE TROP (what? A stadium named after an orange juice???) I just heard someone clear their throat.

That was kind of like nodding off in church, and waking up just in time to say "Amen!!!" without having any idea what you were Amening.

Sounds like the Astros back in the day...
