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

[Vanimal46]

Anecdote time, sonny: Years ago, just after the glaciers retreated, I set a buddy of mine up with a gal I knew. (not in the Biblical sense, get your mind out of the gutter) Anyway, she was an uptown party type girl and he was a hunting and fishing kind of guy. She wound up going hunting and fishing and enjoyed it. If memory serves, she even went bow hunting.* Last I heard, she was quite the outdoorswoman. (This was back when I lived in the Twins Cities area)

 

*Time frame somewhat exaggerated to protect those still living.

One of my married co-workers (who's also a woman) is helping me with planting some seeds that Vanimal may be a catch for you! Cross fingers it helps.

Guys, I could use some advice. I've had a crush on a co-worker for as long as she's worked at the same company I do. I've learned so far to not dip into the company ink... She's quitting soon for a new opportunity and just broke up with her boyfriend. Is it free game to ask her out before she moves on to another company?

 

 

Ask her to go birdwatching.

Good news is, the Braves lost already.  So there's that.

Yeah, that doesn't do much to improve my outlook.  Sort of a yawn, in fact.

[LaBombo]

 

I an catching up on TIVO, so this is a little late, but I am very impressed with the Twins bunting game!

 

If you like bunting, they've got a kid in Fort Meyers you're really gonna love.http://www.eddiegaedelpubandgrill.com/images/Eddie-Gaedel1.jpg

[Mike Sixel]

Please tell me you are known as vanimal at work.....especially to your customers.

[jimmer]

well put together team by Ryan. Serious playoff contender this year and WS contender in '17...

[Aggies7]

Some fan was unfortunate enough to be sitting behind the extended net.

[USAFChief]

 

Ask her to go birdwatching.

ain't gonna help Vanimal much if she's going out with YOU.

[Vanimal46]

Where did he go, I miss his humor.

One of life's mysteries my friend. I'll tell you what, if and when he resurfaces, he better be able to handle the volume of notifications he'll receive. Along with getting photoshop fired up...

[Vanimal46]

Ask her to go birdwatching.

See if we can find any brown creepers down here?

[LaBombo]

 

She's originally an Oklahoma girl, so maybe Okie from Muskogee is a better option?

 

 

In that case, don't let your hair grow long and shaggy, like the hippies out in San Francisco...

[ashbury]

If we lose today, we'll be 0-11 in our last 11 games.

And 0-162 in our last 162 losses.

[spinowner]

Great AB by Mauer. Now we need about 5 more in a row that are just as good.

No! No, don't do that!

 

Coming from a woman.

 

But then, not all women are the same ... maybe it'll work. It's just the LAST thing in the world I wanna hear.*

 

And with that, well played, Mauer.

 

*Edit: generally speaking ... no personal offense hahaha

[DiscGolfer]

RISP for Sano

[Aggies7]

I'd rather this Bruno be the hitting coach as this point.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Have you seen this diversion?

Hahaha not quite... Unfortunately I have to go by my real name on the job.. Though with some customers I'd love to give them a fake name and contact information so I never have to deal with them again.

[DiscGolfer]

Sac bunt time?

[Puckett34]

Well played, Mauer

[ashbury]

Ask her to go birdwatching.

Just try not to sound like Austin Powers when doing so.

[Dr. Evil]

I already know what I'm going to say if Sano parks one here.

[jimmer]

 

Sac bunt time?

might as well go for the hat trick

[Puckett34]

 

Sac bunt time?

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

[Puckett34]

Got under the bunt a little bit there

[LaBombo]

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

[Vanimal46]

No! No, don't do that!

Uh oh, I hope she's not decreasing my chances... the co-worker is awesome, one of my favorite people at the company. She's been wanting to play match maker for me since I started.

[SwainZag]

Sano has been awful at the plate. Simply awful.

[USAFChief]

Easy, but not free, from what we hear.
