Article: Game Thread: Twins v Brewers, 4/18 @ 7:10pm CT

[Aggies7]

That's the best kind of Bert.

I do appreciate the honesty. Not sure Eric would, though.

[spinowner]

 

Sano will have three HR in the next four games.

Good start!

[David HK]

My Gawsh-  How many ways do I hate those softball unis?  And how many times this year am I going to be forced to have to burn my retinas in order to watch the Twinks?  Damn near enough to turn me into a Cubs fan for good.

[jimbo92107]

This starting pitcher appears hittable.

[Aggies7]

Man, the wild stink.

[DiscGolfer]

I think all Brewer pitchers are pretty hittable

[jimbo92107]

That catch by Buxton... Man, that's speed. He was running about 23mph just then, like the fastest guys in the NFL.

[DiscGolfer]

 

Man, the wild stink.

wow, 2-0 on 3 shots.

Well Sonny, back on 11-24-71, I was in a bind. To be discreet I will keep it simple, not to be too detail oriented. I had been working for the man, and they cut my benefits and pension in August of 70. I reached my breaking point. My work was integral to their cause. I had to take matters into my own hands.

 

My plan worked out perfectly, I never meant to hurt any of the Northwest Orient Airlines employees, and I didn't. They were very accommodating. It certainly was a hassle, but once I got the money that I thought I definitely deserved, and the parachute, which was a stressful situation because I thought they would sabotage it, but fortunately they did not, and I jumped from that airplane and went on to live a very good life. It was a victimless crime and I have no regrets.

 

That jump was colder than a witches you know what and I suffered from frostbite, a pretty bad case I must admit, but I had to refrain from going to the hospital because I didn't want to make any noise. I still have nerve damage in my hands from that incident, but it was damn well worth it. I mapped this whole thing out and I had a colleague pick me up at a rendevous spot. He had to wait 7 hours because jumping from an airplane ain't none too accurate. But that little incident set me up for life and I have no regrets as I enter the ending chapter of my life.

 

They got what they deserved.

I vote this the BDHQSFT (Best Dashiell-Hammet-like quote so far tonight).

That guy playing without a helmet has been pretty good lately 

[Blake]

I'm not sure what happened Arcia, but it's great to see. Looks like he's become a professional with passion. 

[spinowner]

That wasn't Mauer throwing home, or wherever that throw was intended.

[DiscGolfer]

Love that pee wee fielding

[David HK]

ahhh, the Little League World Series is on!  

[Craig Arko]

El Nunez.

[Blake]

 

Double digits--god forbid. Blake's already wasted!

In looking at the Brewers, I think they're the ones who've been imbibing. Wow, Sox fielding of last year is now the Brewers of this year.

I recall the Twins looking like that the 1st week or two of the season last year.

[DiscGolfer]

Taking a drink every time Nunez loses his helmet is getting taxing

Wow Grandpa ... I've never heard you open up like this before. You know that question your little granddaughter asked you so many years ago which left you discombobulated and stuttering? Think you could enlighten me at long last? Oh ... you don't remember ... how could you?

 

Again, why did you divorce Gramma?

[Danchat]

Quick question. I thought Fernando Abad was supposed to be back today... but on gameday I'm seeing O'Rourke's still on the bench, so did Abad get an extra day or something?

Good thing Bark's got that BIG bottle of rum.

[Squirrel]

Well, duh.

[David HK]

Arcia grounds out the to the rover.

I think he gets 3 games, so should be back tomorrow

Hi Bob.

[David HK]

Say, did anyone know that the Wild are sort of in the playoffs for the hockey thing?  Well, let's check in during the inning break-  where's that rally rum?  See if they're down by a touchdown yet...

[tharasix]

 

He said they don't want to be short handed going into NL league game rules, which makes sense. 

 

It also seems to mean that the Twins aren't going to prevent Sano from playing 3B against all logic if the situation arises.

The winners get the Stanley Cup. The losers get Stanley's cup.

Dozier doesn't feel comfortable unless a baserunner is threatening to mow him down and land him with two broken legs. I guess.
