Game Thread: Twins vs White Sox, 4/13/16 @ 7:10 CT

[Platoon]

It's TD, so maybe... both?

I bet Norman Bates would have loved TD.

[Aggies7]

I feel ill.

[jimmer]

 

Such is tradition.  Man on 2nd?  Bunt them over.  Thought Ned Yost had the market cornered on bunting in inopportune moments.

Two W Series appearances in a row and the manager of the current W Series champs.

Gift double courtesy of Sox player positioning. 

 

Even Mauer is going to pull a soft-tossing lefty.

 

So, maybe just a hint of the Sox of last year.

[formerly33]

 

I feel ill.

So do I ... literally speaking. Flu. Again.

 

(Blows nose vociferously.)

[Platoon]

You should definitely ask her out now. Get the rejection out of the way early.

Does he know you are THE Vanimal? Of Whine Line fame and fortune!

no credit to Mauer on that?

I have to keep some secrets up my sleeve... I hear some women like mysterious men.

[Aggies7]

I just sat down to pee. Seemed appropriate as a fan of this club.

[Dr. Evil]

Why not give Tonkin a look in this situation?

[DiscGolfer]

On a positive note, you should be able to low ball scalpers for really good seats if all this keeps up.

 

 

[Blake]

It's against my policy. Until it isn't.

 

You're probably right. Just down on the team right now.

[LaBombo]

Wow, it seems like just a few hours ago that the Twins struck out in order the first time, and now the Seventh Inning Wretch is already over...

[USAFChief]

 

Does he know you are THE Vanimal? Of Whine Line fame and fortune!

He?

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[Mike Sixel]

Why not give Tonkin a look in this situation?

Who?

[ashbury]

Have you seen this diversion?

He would likely lead his league in HBP if he weren't a threat to strike out every time up.

Hopefully this event took place in a bathroom.

Some of them like Mystery Men.    It's like audio-visual catnip.http://cdn-static.denofgeek.com/sites/denofgeek/files/styles/insert_main_wide_image/public/mystery-01.jpg?itok=xJfRbaYQ

[DiscGolfer]

Twins are doing their part to help keep the pace of play average down

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

He would likely lead his league in HBP if he weren't a threat to strike out in every AB.

I found it interesting how the catcher and umpire had no reaction to his antics. They must have fun playing baseball in Japan. Not here, not here in Minnesota.

[Vanimal46]

Well, somebody from the extended TD family should chaperone the first date. Maybe Stringer is free?

Well, there's tons of options for a chaperone. But I don't need her to fall head over heels for one of you guys!

 

Rumor has it Chief's doppelganger is Chris Hemsworth, so he's out.

 

Mike looks exactly like Brad Pitt... can't trust that.

 

Platoon looks like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, he'd blow me out of the water.

[Blake]

History in the making! (Futility is also history, right?)

Well, there's always me.

 

... Oh wait, we don't want to risk you succumbing to my charms. Your prospective date's new found fan club may have mixed feelings concerning me in that case.

[bird]

 

YES! Let's do this. She's the type of girl that probably hasn't been single for more than a week since she was 14...

Somehow I make her laugh and there's a drunk make out session on the resume already...

 

 

So, you watched her make out with someone?

[LaBombo]

Being named closer of this club is like being Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the US presidential line of succession...

[Aggies7]

Wonder what our elimination number is

[Halsey Hall]

At least something is looking rather good here.

Never leave a game early, you might miss history in the making

[Mike Sixel]

Still waiting for someone to tell me who Tonkin is.....

[jimmer]

Bremer praising the sac bunts.
