Article: Game Thread: Twins v Rangers, 7/1 @ 7:10pm CT

I had to visit the doctor again...sheesh, that's like five game threads in a row now, amiright?

 

Anyhow, I went to see him because I can't stop singing "Green Green Grass of Home."

 

He told me I suffer from Tom Jones Syndrome.

 

I had never heard of this, and asked him if it was common.

 

"It's not unusual," he told me.

If Nunez would have ditched the helmet right out of the batter's box instead of almost to first, the improved wind resistance might have had him safe on that play.

Sure is a nice evening.

I need a bit of time to think this one through.

Three nuns were attending a baseball game.

 

Three men were sitting directly behind. Because their habits were partially blocking the view, the men decided to badger the nuns hoping that they’d get annoyed enough to move to another area.

 

In a very loud voice, the first guy said, "I think I'm going to move to Utah. There are only 100 nuns living there."

 

Then the second guy spoke up and said, "I want to go to Montana, there are only 50 nuns living there."

 

The third guy said, "I want to go to Idaho. There are only 25 nuns living there."

 

The mother superior turned around, looked at the men, and in a very sweet and calm voice said, "Why don’t you go to hell... There aren’t any nuns there!"

My tv is on extra innings so each game is in a small box. I glance up and see a huge fight, I immediately rush to turn on 668 before realizing it was video of the Blue Jays and Rangers fight from earlier this year.

For the life of me I can't understand why we aren't attracting more young fans to our nightly laff fest.

Sano really working the count in his first 2 AB's back!

They all moved to Tampa to watch Arcia.

With Rougned in the lineup I'd ordinarily say to stay tuned and you might see something, but I'm not sure any of our Twins have sufficient moxie to irk the young man in any way.

Twins are being NO-HIT????? 

 

Well, this post should fix that! No hit??????

Good jorb.

[ashbury]

Glad Grossman swung away. I was just about to snark that playing for one run will clearly be enough with our ace on the mound.

Two stinking hits..... or maybe more    

[HitInAPinch]

Make it 2   :-)

[HitInAPinch]

Who in the hell called that?!?!

[Aggies7]

Not much can be said about that.

[HitInAPinch]

[Jerr]

Oh well...no hitter is gone, but these Twins SUCK!!!!!!!

 

Bye-bye all managers/coaches and most of the front office!!!!!!!

[ashbury]

ZUKE oh never mind

[wavedog]

Really a bunt with your hottest hitter up? Someone needs some managing lessons.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Let's face it, Molitor has no idea what he's doing.

[Aggies7]

One of the myriad things that the twins have been abysmal at all season is executing bunts. So why not put on a suicide squeeze with one of the few guys who have been hitting well recently.
