Game Thread: Twins vs Marlins, 6/8, 7:10 PM

[Aggies7]

I wish I didn't hate his political junk as much as I do, because bob costas calls a great ball game. Mlb network has him doing some games

[Aggies7]

Well, I guess that was a good answer inning. The answer was just a deafening NO

[ashbury]

It's probably my fault. I checked in, saw it was 4-1, and figured so far, so good. Didn't realize I'd brought bad fortune with me... learned today that a teacher I like was nearly hounded out of school this year by some unruly 8th graders, and my barber's wife has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. So Nolasco picked a bad day to give up giving up runs, apparently.

Ricky apparently doesn't like prosperity.

I want to know how the person carving the pumpkin knew to make his eyes like that before the pumpkin even threw up.

IDK, Marlins were pretty prosperous ...

How is pinching someone an ish? Does it mean something I didn't know?

No...

Chris parmelee: 3/4 tonight and just hit a 2 run HR

[USAFChief]

I'm too lazy to go look...does anyone know the most consecutive innings the Twins have held the lead this year?

 

It can't be much.

That should generate 3 or 4 threads on TD before morning.

I would think not very many. Tends to happen when you trail in all but 2 games

Yes.

 

 

Edit:  Just to clarify,   it's not me.   But someone knows,   and it's probably the same silly son of a beach who came up with the statoid that the Twins have trailed in every game played on a day that ends with a y 'why',    as in "I just watched all 9 innings of another crappy Twins game.    Why?"

My fault too.

 

I was just catching up on the game thread as the Marlins were catching up on the Twins...

For peace of mind, some things are best left undiscovered and not known.

Swarzak pitched tonight too. 1 2/3 IP, 0 R, 2 K

[bird]

Just got here. Came for the thread but am staying for the music suggestions. Four tunes mentioned, all worthy enough to already occupy shelf space in my Spotify library. Great taste, people!

 

Don't know if I'll stick around until Closing Time, but if I do, it'll be accompanied by tunes of that title by Lyle Lovett and my deep dark hero Leonard Cohen.

[HitInAPinch]

11 pitches to Realmuto.  Is there no one available in the bullpen?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and call this Small Sample Size and say that he won't keep up the pace for the rest of the season.

[spinowner]

Reliever NOW.

I really enjoy Bert's stories!

I think some people have more active imaginations.

 

Generally a good thing, i think, but at times it is its own punishment...

Have them memorized by now, don't ya?  Like me watching Fletch or Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Life moves pretty fast...

[HitInAPinch]

Too late on Nolasco.  They should know the pattern by now.

[USAFChief]

 

Yeah ... It's a good thing, except when it's not.

You scoff...I'll have you know the local hospital asked me to come do some standup in the children's ward.  When I left I told them I hope they get better.

 

22 of the little *******'s replied in unison, "Likewise."

[Aggies7]

$13 mil for this guy, eh?

 

Ricky don't lose that number

We don't wanna pitch nobody else

Send ya off to the showers by yourrrrself

 

Ricky don't lose that number

You're the second highest paid

You can lay your head on your millions

When you get homeee

When Cameron was in Egypt land.

[Aggies7]

Good 0-2 pitch
