Game Thread: Twins @ O's 6:05 CDT

[wxman91]

 

It's so hard to pretend to be working right now--  trying to find an internet feed for the hockey game, and looking busy at the same time.  Was up at 2AM a couple weeks ago, watching UND-Michigan- the only feed I could get was in Russian!  

Time to show the colours---

 

Tight game so far.  A few good chances for each team.  DU about to go on their second PP.

really I do agree w/ Chi, it'll be fun and great scenery

 

As long as I don't need Gas... Food... or... Humans of any kind.

 

Yeah... It will be. 

[Squirrel]

I made sure to like that one twice.

Lol, me too

[Platoon]

Just wanted to to get a daylight look at Northern Michigan and avoid Chicago Traffic in a large truck.

 

Little known fact. Big cities are easier the bigger the vehicle. I have been through Chicago on 18 wheels, and two wheels, Gary to Rockford. Trust me, the truck is a dream compared to the bike.

Or if it snows, which it could.

[USAFChief]

 

Goody, now I know how to spend my day!

 

[David HK]

Aha!  Got the radio feed- from UND, so it's almost like being in English.  I still get shivers playing DU, with Zucker and Drew Shore and that crew....  whew!

Yeah... I'll have insurance of some kind. 

 

I can bang that thing around in Chicago all I want. 

[D. Hocking]

 

Ah, Duluth, the air-conditioned city. Where the ice mountains of spring destroy houses.

 

What time of year you going through there again?

 

I was always excited to go to Duluth, because they had escalators.  Virginia was closer, and they had elevators,but Duluth was the closest escalator.

 

It was a simpler time.

Twins Baseball™

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Don't forget to ask if you're there yet.

[Aggies7]

Just awful baseball.

With the Gophers and Badgers in the Big 6 or 7... Whatever it is with Notre Dame Joining

 

Denver might be our biggest rival now. 

 

Or UNO or UMD or St. Cloud.

 

I can't make up my mind. 

 

We are rivals with everyone. 

[Hrbowski]

The O's ground crew did that on purpose.

[Aggies7]

Yes, it was the mound. Sure.

[Intramural Legend]

Well - that stinks.

 

More slow starts for our Minnesota Twins!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

The O's ground crew did that on purpose.

Or didn't do anything for it, on purpose.

[D. Hocking]

I suspect that question is a large reason why we rarely took family trips that lasted more than an hour, which is maybe why I thought things like elevators and escalators were great entertainment.

[Riverbrian]

I forgot to mention

 

Saturday Night... I'm taking the Nephews on a Grand Rapids Beer tour. 

 

Hitting all the Breweries. 

[James]

Yeah... I'll have insurance of some kind. 

 

I can bang that thing around in Chicago all I want.

 

Are we still doing "phasing"?

[Hrbowski]

The O's ground crew should be fined.

Well, what do you expect when you go to a hotel or an office building and push all the buttons on the elevator?

[Intramural Legend]

So - how many games until we can be discouraged? 

[Aggies7]

That's a nice 0-2 pitch. Enough for me tonight.

[USAFChief]

 

The O's ground crew should be fined.

Yeah, they didn't even let him warm up, so how could he know?

[Aggies7]

You're not yet?

[formerly33]

 

Well, what do you expect when you go to a hotel or an office building and push all the buttons on the elevator?

You mean the elevators are almost human and get irritated when you push their buttons?

[USAFChief]

I believe it took till game 3 to give up an 0-2 hit.  Progress.

 

 

[mlynch16]

This just is not fun...

[Hrbowski]

Well played, Mauer.
