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

[glunn]

The record for most losses in the modern era belongs to the 1962 Mets -- 120 losses.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_worst_Major_League_Baseball_season_records#Modern_era_.281900.E2.80.93present.29

 

Maybe the Twins can make some history this season.

[Aggies7]

"Is this gonna be foreverrrrr?"

[Kwak]

Late to the party--did I miss much?

[Riverbrian]

If I was the traveling Secretary for the Twins. 

 

I'm cancelling the flight and putting the whole team on a Greyhound to Chicago so they have more time to think about what went wrong. 

[ScrapTheNickname]

The Astros TV announcers are laughing, like this one is in the bag. The gall.

[Aggies7]

Late to the party--did I miss much?

I think the last person to say that was at the Heaven's Gate compound. Similar carnage.

[Riverbrian]

Seriously

 

Two Walks

 

Houston isn't even trying right now.

 

Just toss it down the middle. 

[Riverbrian]

Well it looks like we Killed Pressly losing this game. 

[Aggies7]

Dude, just throw a strike.

[twinssporto]

 

Seriously

 

Two Walks

 

Houston isn't even trying right now.

 

Just toss it down the middle. 

You just got your wish.

[glunn]

 

Seriously

Just toss it down the middle. 

 

That just resulted in 2 insurance runs.

[Aggies7]

Not playing station to station, Astros? We'll remember this in August. Those meatballs over the middle will be two inches off the inside corner! Brushbacks I say!

[Riverbrian]

 

That just resulted in 2 insurance runs.

 

Well Maybe if Pressly wasn't reading my posts between pitches we'd be in the top of the 9th already.

[DiscGolfer]

You know it's bad when your mop up guys just come in and spill the bucket.

[jimbo92107]

Pressley walks two, then throws a BP fastball right down the middle. What's a hitter supposed to do? They're not paid to miss. Just throw strikes and let the averages get them out. Ruth is dead!!!

[Ultima Ratio]

Don't worry, they're just shaking out the last drops and dribbles now.

[notoriousgod71]

I like that Dick thinks the Astros pitching has been bad this season because they are all soft tossers that are basically the same pitcher. He seems not to notice the irony.

My wife just walked downstairs and yelled at me! "Why are you still watching this game," she said.

 

Any thoughts or ideas on what I can tell her?  I was speechless...

[Aggies7]

How could this game have ever been 0-0?

[DiscGolfer]

Ha!  I was just wondering when that was going to happen, I wouldn't want to stick around for the end of this either.

 

wait, I'm still here.

[ScrapTheNickname]

The most pointless managerial ejection of the 21st century. (any insight from the Twins' announcers?)

[notoriousgod71]

"It appeared as though Castro did not even want to run to third base but it's a part of baseball."

Yeah, and Molitor is Officer Hardhat.

I learned it from watching you!

I don't think it was

"I'm not watching the game... I'm umm... Watching... Dora the Explorer"

Tell her you're watching porn. It's less embarrassing.

The Twins getting crushed is like a bag of sand pinning you down to the couch?

 

No, that can't be it...

 

Morbid curiosity.

[wavedog]

I only get so many chances to watch the Twins play living down here in Texas, so I am sticking this one out. Could be a good thing I can't see them play much this year the way it's going so far this season. Just when you think it can't get any worse.
