Article: Game Thread: Twins v Angels, 4/15 @ 7:10pm CT

[Cap'n Piranha]

You know you're struggling when the Twins announcer mentions "just a .103 average".  Looking in your direction CJ Cron.

[twinsnorth49]

Oh, so its going to this kind of game again huh?

[Riverbrian]

Will those Rally towels help the Wild? 

 

If they do... we paid too much money for Parise and Suter. 

[spinowner]

Good positioning of Esco by the Twins coaching staff.

[twinsnorth49]

 

Did you intend to use #42 for irony on this night?

Jokes aren't jokes if they require explanation.

[Mike Sixel]

Mauer sacrificed in the first inning? You cannot be serious.

In fairness I think he was attempting to bunt for a hit.

My initial reaction as well, fortunately it seemed to have been a prank. At least that's what I hope.

[Blake]

 

i take it personally. Molitor is trying to drive me bat-poop crazy

Why should you think you're the only one? You're not that special!

0-9 doesn't buy much benefit of the doubt.

I'm never serious and don't call me... Umm... 

 

Ok... Give me a Sec

Predicted post-game platitude:

 

“Every game matters, and the more we can continue to have big at-bats like we did today… we’ll get on a nice roll and win more than we’re going to lose.”

[twinsnorth49]

Interesting route Eddie.

[Intramural Legend]

 

WHY IN THE HELL IS JOE MAUER BUNTING!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

We need Jack Goin to stop over again so we can ask him what the hell is with all the damn bunts!

I rarely listen to the Angels Post Game

[Blake]

 

The Angels only brought 1 colour?

The great thing about the color red: You're either on fire or going down in flames. Sort of a one size fits all color.

"We've just got to keep going out there everyday and playing hard, and the hits will start falling.  The guys battled today, there's no quit in this group."

[Intramural Legend]

Just started watching the game - what the heck is going on with red on red?

[spinowner]

 

"We've just got to keep going out there everyday and playing hard, and the hits will start falling.  The guys battled today, there's no quit in this group."

And there's no "me" in team. Oh, wait, is that right?

[Squirrel]

Just getting home from work. Did I miss anything? More importantly,Mia's anyone heard from van yet?

[Blake]

Oh, and what's the dealio with the "u" in color? 

[kusko_andy]

I was looking ahead to see when the Twins might get to face a mediocre or bad starting pitcher this year....  then I remembered that everybody is a good pitcher nowadays.  It's not 2004 any more.   Good grief.

[twinsnorth49]

 

Oh, and what's the dealio with the "u" in color? 

Um, because I speak English.............properly.

[Mike Sixel]

If we hear from van this soon, it will be like watching the twins "hit".

[spinowner]

 

Oh, and what's the dealio with the "u" in color? 

It has to do with living in Canadia.

[Riverbrian]

It was a one time squaring and then he returned to the Joe he usually is. 

 

Might have been a shift away from the third base line that tempted him.  

 

It was good out of the box thinking and I don't think the intention was sacrifice. It was over quick.

Bad taste to use that irony at another player's expense I guess... I will shake it off and get 'em next time up

[spinowner]

5-4-3. Very cool!

Don't bother us with your logic Mr., there's a meme to follow here.

Wait, scottz isn't the sacrifice any more? Was there a stone knife and stone alter involved?

 

Oh yeah, Pyramids, mustn't forget the Pyramid.
