Game Thread: Twins @ Astros, 5/4 @ 7:10pm CT

This is the longest train wreck ever.

 

Like a bad turtle pile up 

[Dr. Evil]

Somewhere tonight Terry sits watching, his lips pursed clutching his shoulder bag.

Pressly begins to warm up. Just use everyone!

[David HK]

Oh, is the game still on?

 

What are we down now, only a touchdown and a field goal?  The Vikes'll get that back this quarter.

 

Oh, wait...

[glunn]

Moderator note -- I am grateful for the restraint that posters have shown tonight. I keep thinking that the Twins have hit bottom, then they keep proving me wrong. It seems to me that RB's approach makes sense -- skip a game (or ten).

Buterrible > Murphy

If they don't let Rosario pitch... When can they. 

 

Might as well just send Rosario down if they ain't going to use him.

The twins should sign Ronny "fielder's choice" banks (chappelles show fans will get it)

[DiscGolfer]

.075

[Ultima Ratio]

Murphy needs to crowd the plate, crouch low and never, ever swing.  Yeah, it's that bad.

[Aggies7]

.075

Hey, rounded up, that's .080!

hey, you move the decimal point to the right once, that's 75 cents

[notoriousgod71]

How has this game managed to work itself into the bottom of the eighth in 3 hrs? This looked like a 4 1/2 hr game as of half an hour ago.

You are doing good work

 

Nice Job!!!

Would love to see Dozier pants someone as they head into second.

Sold!  You just bought yourself a catcher who cannot hit

Have a safe trip. I think I'm going out to Crappie fish like last night. Maybe listen to game on the radio. It may be more fun to get a treble hook in my thumb.

Thanks.

 

At rest stop.

 

Resting for a moment, catching up a bit on ye olde thread o' game, and might even check score...

 

Do they make thimbles, but for one's thumb? A thumble perhaps? Might keep the pointy end out.

Nice Job!!!

It's been tough but I'm hanging in there

How long can it take to hit a ball over the fence, and run around the bases? Now if both teams were doing it, .............

[twinssporto]

Maybe they should make Pressly a starter.  

[Halsey Hall]

I'm not watching tomorrow either!

[jimmer]

 

Maybe they should make Pressly a starter.  

Elvis was always more of a closer.  And he's dead :-)

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Listen... I'm only right 85% of the time.

Once i thought i was wrong. But it turned out i was wrong about that.

[DiscGolfer]

This could be the longest game ever whey then Twins tie it up in the 9th and Houston walks off.

[David HK]

Brains beaten in by the 'Stros.  Oh, the ignominy.  

[notoriousgod71]

Twins face Sale on Saturday. At least they'll get one win.
