Game Thread: Infield Roller Edition Yankees@Twins, 5:10 PM PST (7:10 PM CST),

You say there is a light at the end of the tunnel?

 

A train, obviously, but knowing this year's Twins, they won't even be able to get that right.

 

[LaBombo]

Escobear OPS could sneak over .600 after tonight!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

CBU:

 

New York 8

Minnesota 1

 

and it is Jepsen time.

Which now is the 7th inning.

[Winston Smith]

 

Good lord I know arod is old and hurt....but he may be the slowest player I've ever seen

Might be the only guy slower than Plouffe.

Two words: Matthew LeCroy

[Willihammer]

 

It was the worst...

Since Louie the first.

Worse than any team since the 2010 Pirates.

 

Worse than any 90s Twins team as well.

What is that in PST?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Worse than any team since the 2010 Pirates.

 

Worse than any 90s Twins team as well.

I actually don't know.

 

I was just making a mildly obscure music reference:

Happy 150th birthday General Mills! Doesn't taste a day over 125

[Danchat]

Uh, why did Danny Santana pinch hit for Buxton there? Doesn't Buxton need to get all the plate appearances he can get?

 

I just know Molitor is ready to plug in Santana as a starter for the rest of the season... I think Buxton may be going back down soon.

[Willihammer]

Since August 7 last year, Mauer has a 

 

43 game OBP streak

a 28 game OBP streak

and a 27 game OBP streak (still active).

Somebody say something really defamatory. I want to know the moderators are ok.

I wanted to say something too. You said it better.

[Platoon]

So Dick is wondering whether Oswaldo gets claimed. And thinks he might end up back with the Twins MiLB. I would hope Arcia would not do that. I think the history with this team precludes that.

I think it's a little something like this between Molly and Dan-San

Mickey Tettleton was turrible slow, and that got me to thinking about the slowest team I've ever seen play.

 

1993 Tigers: Tettleton, Rob Deer, Chad Kreuter, the mid-30's, virtually stationary versions of Trammel, Whitaker, GIbson and Gladden, and the mummified remains of Eric Davis.

 

Oh, and anchoring the relay was the nearly 300 pound Cecil Fielder.

Isn't North one? Someone spell Canadien wrong again, that always gets his attention!

[Willihammer]

I was going to Game Thread tonight but the Arcia news got under my skin and I had to walk it off so I didn't spill any of that vile over here. 

 

I'm still not happy but...

 

How Bout a Joke!!!

 

3 Friends on a desert island... They find a Genie who granted them each one wish. 

 

1st guy wishes that he was off this island and back home. Poof... He's gone and immediately back home

 

2nd Guy wishes the same thing... Poof... He's off the island and back home with his loved ones. 

 

3rd Guy is worried that it's going to be boring on the island now so he wishes that his friends were back on the island with him.  

[jimmer]

There's a cereal named after Anthony Rizzo called RizzOs

Hey - that's what it feels like when the game's over and everybody else leaves the thread!

[Highabove]

NEWS FLASH !!!

 

The Saints just tied the Twins with 20 wins.

[Platoon]

Dick just did the whole Buxton with a long run and glides after it,,,, it's Santana. Someone should change the corporat script for Dick when they make a position change.

[Willihammer]

 

Honey Nut Cheerios?

You were one of those kids who was completely satisfied to color with the Crayolas buried at the bottom of the box weren't you?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

what is Canada?

 

 

 

(see what I did there?)

I would cut Dick some slack  - they have to be drinking heavily by this point, or at least doing their best to watch as little of the game as possible.

Trevor Plouffe: warning track power.

we needed to keep Robbie. Players like him do not come along every week. And Sano will be back soon, we need a spot in the OF for him, so we can keep Our cleanup hitter. And lest someone thinks I am not paying attention we signed a guy to DH for the next 4 years so we are set there also. Sometimes it's necessary to look at the big picture.
