Game Thread: Twins @ Indians. 8/2 @ 6:10pm CT

I have to admit, that was awesome...walking Kepler to get to Sano? Talk about picking your poison.

I can't remember a similar situation for the Twins since Mauer led to Morneau like 6 or 7 years ago.

[Danchat]

 

Because baseball.

Yep, that's why I keep watching, because it's so darn unpredictable.

[USAFChief]

Shameless plug:  We're at the point where we have more game thread posters than games...don't get left out!!1!

 

And it's pretty clear to me the threads will only get more and more popular as the Twins go undefeated for August, scoring double digit runs in every game.

 

Visit the volunteer thread, pick out a game or three, and PM me!

[Halsey Hall]

The guys are having fun, and it spills over to TD!

[Pardon My Dinger]

I love max Kepler. Which I suppose means I love Germans. Which, by the transitive property, enforces my love of David Hasselhoff.

My wife and I spent New Year's Eve and Day in Munich in the mid-90's. What we found was all the major Public Houses were reserved for private parties.

We bought food and drink to bring back to our hotel at the train station, which we promptly dubbed 'BahnhofDale.'

They have a one day a year in Germany where married women (single too, actually) go downtown for flirting (and maybe more). If you are wearing a tie, you are available to participate.  If a woman comes up and cuts your tie, you're getting some kissing time (and maybe more).

Those offensive statistics from June 25 are incomprehensible considering the start

Do they sell ties in bulk at Costco?

I don't follow the "and maybe more" part

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Our studies have shown the bird to be equal to or greater than the word

Would that be Larry?

[Aggies7]

Would that be Larry?

Some people only know the bird is the word from family guy.

 

Others from full metal jacket

[USAFChief]

 

Would that be Larry?

 

"No."

[Aggies7]

My MLB TV game just somehow switched to the Reds and cards. Yet, I still inexplicably have the audio of Dick and Roy calling our game.

Bird is NOT the word.  He is: http://sabr.org/sites/default/files/images/FidrychMark.jpg

Same. WTF?

 

[ScrapTheNickname]

I agree with the opinion that Polanco had been jacked around for the last few years, but he's only 23 and watch him go.

[Aggies7]

Same. WTF?

I don't know. I'd rather listen to the radio broadcast if I can't see our game.

You are referring to Sigfrieda Hawkinstein Day.

 

I could repurpose the photo from the previous Spoiler Alert if you need it, for an example of one of the tie-cutters.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

If Kepler always hits homers, and Polanco always hits doubles, does that make Polanco only half as good as Kepler?

[USAFChief]

Big circus in town in Tucson this week, and wouldn't you know it, a huge fire broke out.  It's been all over the news.

 

Apparently, it was in tents.

Yeah, Mrs Chief told me the same BS story.

I was wondering if anybody else noticed that the Twins feed had switched to a different game entirely - after a really close up perspective of a foul pole, looking upwards, for five minutes....

It's Peyton on Sunday Mornings

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

"No."

Just makin' sure.

 

Haven't been paying much attention to him of late. Just glad to know he's not pining for the Fjords...

[ashbury]

Of course not! It makes Kepler twice as good as Polanco!

[crapforks]

OK. Its back now. How strange. Not strange that there is a technical hiccup, but strange that the fallback is just switching the video feed.

 

[cmoss84]

Does Polanco's approach and swing remind anyone of a lighter hitting Cano?

Yeah I switched to the Cleveland broadcast. Works, but the announcers aren't too happy
