Game Thread: Astros @ Twins, 8/9 @ 7:10 CT

I think you spelled 'eh' wrong?

No, it never precedes a sentence. The proper way would be "huh, who knew eh"?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Why not pinch hit vargas for Grossman?

I give up...

[ScrapTheNickname]

All the tension of a lost season. I mean I want a comeback, but I don't NEED a comeback.

[twinsnorth49]

No... That's bad base running... He should be at least leading off.

 

(Chief is not here... So I had to type something that Chief would type)

Figured as much.

[LaBombo]

 

Grossman needed a courier to get that throw to home plate

 

Revere and Grossman... the only two MLB outfielders never to be told to get lost by a Milk Bottle Toss carny...

North knows his Canuck

 

The Tragically Hip and the Location of every Timmie's in Manitoba. 

[LaBombo]

 

 

My MLB TV feed is showing me still footage of Suzuki standing on second. I presume this is a good thing?

 

That depends. Is he holding a newly inked contract extension in his hand?

[Platoon]

. I have always wanted to understand the Candien language! .

[twinsnorth49]

Why not pinch hit vargas for Grossman?

This is one of those trick question things, right?

 

I'm not biting.

[jimmer]

Please, PLEASE challenge Kepler.  I dare ya!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And the tying run comes to the plate...

[twinsnorth49]

That depends. Is he holding a newly inked contract extension in his hand?

Not funny.

[jimmer]

darn it!!!!!!!

[Platoon]

The tension is palpable!

[Platoon]

I didn't really think it was palpable, but it's not often you get to use palpable!

[twinsnorth49]

Umm, about that mustache Kep.

[LaBombo]

 

Not funny.

I got a million of 'em.

What, besides tension, is palpable?

[Mr. Brooks]

Anyone else think it time for a Boshers-Chargois swap?

 

If by "it time", you mean a month ago then yeah, totally agree.

Not funny.

I thought "that depends" was well regard as a humourous phrase in some parts.

 

And no one specified the terms of the contract neither...

 

Anyway, the game is over.

 

Thought i'd something more to say.

[LaBombo]

 

 

Umm, about that mustache Kep.

 

He's just ahead of his time. It's going to be huge in the 20's...

Let's hope Clark is his inspiration and not a certain 30's mustachio aficionado.

no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun?

[Platoon]

What, besides tension, is palpable?

 

 

pal·pa·ble

ˈpalpəb(ə)l/

adjective

able to be touched or felt.

"the palpable bump at the bridge of the nose"

synonyms: tangible, touchable, noticeable, detectable

 

Almost anything. Ex. 'Trevor Plouffes lack of foot speed is palpable'! (To almost anyone but Trevor Plouffe)

[Platoon]

He's just ahead of his time. It's going to be huge in the 20's...

. For a true 'stache, we need a gif of Hercule Poirot!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun?

Yup. Exactly.

 

Wait... there was a starting gun?!

 

That might also explain some of the Twins' recent baserunning.

[USAFChief]

My MLB TV feed is showing me still footage of Suzuki standing on second. I presume this is a good thing?

That's not Zuke.

 

That's Plouffe, after the Polanco single to center.
