Article: Game Thread: Twins v Blue Jays, 5/19 @ 7:10pm CT

[Winston Smith]

Cheer up there are only 123 possible losses left in the season, as long as we don't get into the wildcard game anyway.

[Marzen2016]

Over/Under 10 home runs the Blue Jays hit in the series? Maybe should have moved the total closer to 20? Who knows but this could really inflate the team's ERA this weekend.

[Platoon]

You all... have special invitations... to take up residence... whenever you want... the gates are wide open.

I am happily and safely ensconced in moms basement! I fear entering RiverWorld would be akin to stumbling into the castle of Dr. Frank N. Furter, sans Janet!

It's a 4 game series. Im going way over 10.

[Mr. Brooks]

And still no Polanco......

Or another game 163. . . .

[Platoon]

It is my understanding they asked Polanco to play, to paraphrase his response: WTF, don't you think I saw what happened to Kepler, Meyer, Berrios, and Rosario. I am staying on the bench and collecting MLB meal money!

[Pardon My Dinger]

An ellipse consists of exactly three periods (...). Anything more than three periods in successions is scofflaw, and I won't stand for it!

Excellent use of ellipses, Mr. Brooks.... It's mind.boggling. to keep Polanco rotting on the bench. 

[twinsnorth49]

God I hate the ****ing Blue Jays.

ellipses and mind boggling....you, sir, are my hero.

God I hate the ****ing Blue Jays.

More than the Leafs? Or Senators? 

[Platoon]

God I hate the ****ing Blue Jays.

I am glad you typed that in English. I have no idea what the Canadien word for ****ing is?

[Winston Smith]

 

Or another game 163. . . .

You mean the Twins and the Braves playoff for top pick?

[twinsnorth49]

The Sens? Yes. The Leafs?.............  No real Canadian outside the Province of Ontario hates anything more than the Leafs. It's unpatriotic.

Speaking French now are we? Tres Bien.

[Platoon]

You mean the Twins and the Braves playoff for top pick?

Yes, and since the loser is the winner, it could be a long game. It would be kind of fun to put together a lineup to guarantee a loss! And no, you cannot use tonight's.

[Vanimal46]

If that isn't a billion dollar idea, I don't know what is... I mean, I would tune in to see who would deliberately tank that game for the #1 pick. Wouldn't you?

[LaBombo]

The 2016 Twins are a Total Ellipse of the Heart...

I will have you know I speak 7 languages fluently, unfortunately Canadian is not one of them!

A mere period can't be expected to stop my thoughts. I need three to accomplish the task.

I don't know... it would probably set a record for intentional walks.

[Platoon]

I think in Negative Game 163, we are the odds on favorite. No team can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory like such!

[HitInAPinch]

Hey, looks like Dozier's rally speech to the team worked.  He's leading off again!

[Bark's Lounge]

 

God I hate the ****ing Blue Jays.

This goes out to you North, but I don't suspect that the Twins are responsible for this homicide.

Managing 101 says that a guy with a .215 ave and .303 obp is the ideal guy to leadoff.

Assuming that the scorers could tell the difference with the Cy Young candidates they'd send to the mound.
