Do the Mariners have sparkles in their jerseys? Why haven't I noticed this before?

 

That's cute.

How does that song go? "Rah rah Rasmussen".......something like that.

Those communist propaganda songs have no place on TD.

[LaBombo]

 

 Didn't that guy used to be the singer for Black Flag?

Henry was on my flight from Madison to Minnie.   He's much harder to recognize when his eyes are open,  his mouth is closed,  and that vein on the side of his neck isn't threatening to blow out.

Dang, I've been watching for ten minutes, and I just realized that the score is 6 to 2, IN FAVOR OF THE TWINS. My eyeballs literally assumed they were behind 6-2. Double take city!

So he was sleeping then?

Not sparkles, "Northwest Diamonds."

Ooooh, classy!

Just a regular 6-2 lead has a kind of surreal Twin Peaks quality to it.   6-2 Twins with Dean outdue...   out-whatevering Felix Hernandez,   well,   that's some serious Spock on a Unicorn $#!t   right there...

Good shape if they get through the 6th Roy?

 

Ha ha ha ha, you silly little man.

[Jham]

Just tuned in.  It appears as though Dean is battling his tail off out there.

The way Spock is riding on that horse seems unnatural. The down unders must be hurting a bit, but he is an alien, the system might not be built the same way.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Dino's been good, sure. But that Cruz at-bat? Pure Rasmussen.

[LaBombo]

I guess,  but I thought of it more like... Dr. Rollins,  the dormant phase before he morphed into Mr. Henry at the next gig.

I like this Dean guy, finally I can forget all about Brian Duensing once and for all.

[jimbo92107]

That last pitch from Dean to strike out Cruz looked like a high slider. Definitely not what Cruz was expecting. Odd place for a slider, but it worked. Most pitchers spend all their time trying to make their slider almost hook into the ground. Dean purposely spun it or cut it high. Good mix of pitches.

[luckylager]

Pat Dean.   Who'd a thunk it? 

[Bark's Lounge]

… and it is not a unicorn. Unicorns have golden horns on their heads. That looks like a cone shaped tumor or growth.

Only on page 1 so far. Not raining in Portland.....

It definitely wasn't the fastball Dick called, looked more like the rainbow lob to me.

Ah, so you speak fluent Google.

 

Should I be concerned about the fact that my favorite book is Crime and Punishment, my favorite band is Nirvana, and my favorite baseball team is the Minnesota Twins?

Ultimate bonus points for Crime and Punishment. 0 points for the Twins and Nirvana.

It might be a bit of an insight into why Vulcans only get their Pon Farr schwerve on once every 7 years...

Enjoy the next 8 at your own risk.

Eh hem, family show here, let's keep it clean.

We need to get him to a strip club stat!

[jimbo92107]

These are not the Twins you were looking for.

 

[Waves hand]

 

Move along.

[LaBombo]

Mauer goes deep:   the Pegasus wingman to the Dean  >   King Felix unicorn.

That Mauer HR had quite the impact.

[Blake]

Considering the game score, why doesn't Spock have a goatee?

[Pardon My Dinger]

Well, I'm good with this. Off to beddybye. What's the worst that could happen at this point?

 

Sorry in advance.
