Article: Game Thread: Twins v Royals, 5/23 @ 7:10pm CT

Does anyone know of any 12 step programs in the Twin Cities for frustrated and angry Twins fans?

The last 12 steps off the St. Anthony Bridge?

[twinssporto]

Here's an idea.  Since there are no leaders in the club house maybe someone should bring back the naked walks like Mike Redmond did years ago.

 

 

[LaBombo]

 

Robbie Grossman should be our All Star representative!

 

It would make for an even more indelible career data point for Terry Ryan than the name 'Ron Coomer' when Grossman comes up in the occasional trivia question down the road.

I've been saying that since his first game when he went 3 for 4 with a couple of RBI's.

My bad

I'll see your Ron Coomer, and raise ya a Dave Engle.

[operation mindcrime]

Lol, that was some stellar defense.

[jimmer]

should be a double and a one base error?

For a second I thought I was watching a video of myself playing outfield ... getting fairly close to the ball, but letting it drop and then walking 1/8th heartedly over to pick it up.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

All this Robbie Grossman All Star talk is going to look foolish when Danny Santana is named as an All Star pinch runner.

[jimbo92107]

WTF Sano? All he needed do was corral that ball by kneeling down to block it from getting past him on the carom. Even I could do that!

[Blake]

 

My bad

Well, considering a Twins day seems like a week and a Twins week seems like an eternity, and Grossman has been up for a week, it's quite understandable if you missed the early calls for Grossman to be in the All Star game.

Was Madonna an outfielder in that movie?  All I remember is, she was a Peach!

Damn, the Twins must have some serious bruises on their forearms and chest area from bending over the pickle barrel on a daily basis.

[LaBombo]

But Engle had the feel-good story of raising his family of 18 in a shed made of lawn clippings and driftwood,  right here on the plains of Minnesota...

I'm checking in a little late. Can the "Nolasco's rebounding!" narrative die now? He's been pretty terrible in May.

[David HK]

Whoa, couple of key K's there!  This guy may be our new Blaine Boyer.

Center fielder ...

 

I changed my pic to Madonna because my mom told me I couldn't keep Kurt Cobain.

So before he was too good to go back to the rotation and now he's too bad?

Is there a situation where he should get another shot at starting?

[LaBombo]

I like it.    Or they could play strip baseball.    Every error,  missed cutoff man,  failed bunt,  and 3-0 Broadway fastball results in the loss of a uniform part.

 

Any bets which Twin ends up Full Monty first?

And where were you keeping Mr. Cobain? False imprisonment is a felony, you know.

It's not imprisonment ... Kurt asked me to hide him since he was sick and tired of the media.

 

However, false it definitely is.

Gotta go with Terry Ryan

"All of them had hair of gold

like their mother

the youngest one in curls"

 

 

do I have that right?

[jimbo92107]

If he faced him a lot, I think Joe Mauer's average against Moylan would be about .800... That was a very comfortable swing. 

[operation mindcrime]

That was a great call by Dick!

That would be awfully nice,  but seeing as how they have so little faith in their other options,  the narrative may need some help if it's not going to go quietly...

I, for one, never bought into that narrative. That narrative was DOA with me.
