Article: Game Thread: Twins v Indians, 9/22 @ 7:10pm CT

[Squirrel]

Man, I went to the swap meet, and bought some used sneakers.  Bad mistake.  I think they might have been previously owned by a drug dealer.  I'm not sure what they were laced with, but I've been trippin' all day.

Ooooh, where? I want a pair!

On the 38th anniversary of Bert's no-hitter, the Twins win to stay alive in the wild card race. It also happens to be the 38th anniversary of my oldest child's birth.

together?

I forget. I use sandals...

 

Um, probably different ends of the same lace together.

 

Just don't cross the streams. I've got it on good authority it is bad.

[twinsnorth49]

 

That was odd.

Not really, either way you look at it.

Drumstick? What is this, the high hat?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh, may i now commence to scoreboard watch?

[USAFChief]

Houston scores on a WP in the 8th.  4-3 LA, 2 out, 1 on.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Houston has pinch hit 4 batters for the last two spots in the lineup.

Stax Stuff was the best... So much better than Motown. 

 

You can hear Cropper playing guitar with Wilson Pickett... Sam and Dave... Otis Redding... Eddie Floyd... and many others. 

 

Eddie Floyd... It's like Thunder... Lightning... The way you love me is frightening... You Better Knock...TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP... On Wood... BABY... (Horns) 

 

Awesome stuff... Timeless. 

OMG- Knock on wood!  Amii Stewart version, that hot, hot, gal!  

One summer, played some town ball in Crookston, back in ummm...  '79? I think.  They used to play that song for us at the Viking Disco, when we'd walk in after a game, still in uniform!  Party down!!!

[stringer bell]

I started a thread for this.

[USAFChief]

Huston Street K's Houston's Marisnik with 2 on and 2 out to end the 8th.  4-3 LA heading to the 9th.  CBU, Huston/Houston Edition.

Did you name the child Bert in honor of his big game (or simply because you really admired him)?

Like only because there were no cannibals in this joke.

Certainly within 5 yrs

I went to the Asian Games in Guangzhou back in 2010, and saw the baseball competition.  (Surprise, Japan won).  I thought they were trying to save $ on scarce baseballs or something, but there was netting completely surrounding the stands except for the outfield.  No souvenirs at all.  It sucked for that reason, and also for obscuring the sight lines.

The top three hitters in Cleveland's lineup are hitting .302, .318, .315--top three for the Twins: .260, .236, .266.

Cleveland's top three hitters went 1-11 with an ill-advised sacrifice bunt, while the top three Twins hitters were 5-11 with two walks, two doubles, a triple , two runs scored and two RBI.

God, the beauty of this game, created by Thee.  Nothing like a good game of Ironic-ball.

Oh Always, where do you think Torii got his moves? Dude is a full on Fresh Prince ripoff. And Dozier is....well.............white.

 

Torii will never touch this though

Say, they look nice with the black knee socks, too.

Very sweet line for Santana, with a little help from Perkins:

 

7 IP, 5H, 1 BB, 7K.

 

He's been money for what it is worth.

I think I get it now ... you mean like how when Torii homers/robs homers we post videos of Kirby Puckett?

Well, no. Bert was pitching for the Rangers then and he had left Minnesota firing double barreled one-finger salutes to the few fans left in the stands for Twins' games.

 

My daughter was born that day and I got home just in time to hear it mentioned that Bert had pitched a no-hitter.
