Game Thread, Twins @ White Sox, 9/12 @ 6:10pm CT‏‏

[Squirrel]

Does Mr. Beef have a stand at the park? It could be soothing.

And washed down with a Goose Island for every Sox run.

Mr. Beef? Not that I know of. And no to the Goose Island, that I know of. People in my section are drinking wine. Baseball park wine? Now that's puke inducing.

 

The hats are part of the 'Halfway to St. Patrick's Day'

[David HK]

Dang.  My Gf just came to Chi today for a conference, and I could have gone along.  Just couldn't tear away from a brand new job for a week--  believe me, I checked the schedule, and was tempted!  

 

I'd even sit thru a shellacking in that ****ty park in the cold to see the boyzzzz.  

 

ChiTown, and whoever else is there, you better get good and stinkin' drunk and cause a ruckus in my stead, cuz that's what I woulda done.  

 

And then put on my puke-colored Sox hat and stumbed over to Halsted to my buddy's pub for a good SSide Irish welcome.

 

Ah well.

So... everyone's half Irish today?

 

Dare i ask, which half?

 

(i guess i do)

[Hrbowski]

After Roger Goodell handed down his suspension of four games, Brady was trying to think of someway to make honest money, so he decided that if the suspension was upheld he would retire and start his own business, and he decided he would start a crane operating business, and would drive an offensive truck that said "Brady and Company" in large letters, and in smaller letters below it would say "Experts in Rigging and Erecting."

Ahhhh, now I get it.

 

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Duensing time.

[David HK]

Oh, goody, Boyer again, (followed by Dunse!).  And we only have about 17 other options in the bullpen, so it's a good call.  Gave it up last inning, so maybe this inning will be better.

 

Reminds me of Larry Miller, comedian extraorinaire-- referencing people who get divorced, then remarry each other.

'It's like opening the fridge and saying, gee, this milk is sour.  Well, maybe tomorrow it'll be fresh..."

[spinowner]

Sno cone on that catch, Torii.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh yeah, shoulda mentioned Buxton had a nice little running catch there.

[David HK]

Whew, we got outta that inning.  I'm worried about ChiTown chugging down ballpark wine over there. 

[Hrbowski]

Paul Molitor needs to tell the Twins to win.

[David HK]

Decided to log on to mlbtv at last.  Sox feed, can't do it.  Can't listen to Hawk with a lead, too noisy.  

[Hrbowski]

Is Robin Ventura the second coming of Dusty Baker? He has Quintana out there in a meaningless game with a very high pitch count.

[Hrbowski]

He's a great announcer for the White Sox, he gets into the game, and really understands the mood.

Cardboardnay?

[sane]

Pretty sure the Twins have one of the worst rotations in the majors by every metric, who else would you put the blame on?

I blame the pitchers' parents!

[Squirrel]

Ugh. I am not partaking of baseball park wine. Wine at the ballpark, and at the Cell no less, just does not compute for me.

[Squirrel]

The only consolation to the game so far tonight is that Oakland is leading Texas 3-1

You forgot CBU.

[Squirrel]

CBU

[Craig Arko]

The only consolation to the game so far tonight is that Oakland is leading Texas 3-1

5-1 now.

[Blake]

Well, as long as the Sox have to field the ball, the Twins are in the game.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

You forgot CBU.

Simon didn't say?

[David HK]

OK, how nice would it be to come back against their Bp, and just make them all puke into their hats--  and cry, too.

Let's go, boys.  I'll turn the game back on, even.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh forgot to pay attention...

 

Ceder Rapids won 3-2, and Look outs are tied in the 7th, 3-3.

 

CBU.

 

(Too lazy to look how any of those runs were scored)

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And while i'm checking out things of interest, the Michigan State Riverbrians are up 14-7 at the half.

 

(ducks)

[David HK]

Olt grounds out, Poof to Mauer.  

 

Can't wait til next year, when Olt grounds out, Sano to Vargas.

 

Or is that mean?

[USAFChief]

I think I've seen enough of Achter to know I don't want him as part of next year's bullpen.

[Danchat]

At least the Rangers are losing 5-1... 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I think I've seen enough of Achter to know I don't want him as part of next year's bullpen.

Why does this sound to me almost like a Robert Frost poem?

 

I must be reading things...
