Game Thread: Day-Night Double-Header Twins v Astros, 8/11 @ 12:10pm and 6:10pm CT

[Squirrel]

I'm just wondering what might have been if Correa had fallen, that's all. Maybe there's a 50% chance in that alternate reality we take him instead of Buxton.

I believe we would have. Just wasn't what it was so hard for me to imagine. Now, if we'd have passed on him, I'd be more than wishing right now ... I'd be grumbling mad.

This is malarkey. Nothing like Twins pitching to get a team out of a slump.

My bottle of water, my tv, my tobacco, my air conditioning and a lovely scented candle that smells like pine trees

Nothing velvet?

You know, this is starting to remind me of Groundhog Day. 

 

What does it remind you of?

Multiplicity.

 

But instead of cloning Michael Keatons, the Twins are cloning terrible lefties.

[Platoon]

Yeah, well, and if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.

That would work well in MN, we welcome transgender here. Not only with open arms, but open bathrooms!

I don't have any leather bound books

April, 2016?

I think I just saw this pitcher's "circle of death." A curve ball that bounces three feet in front of the plate.

For what it's worth, watching Star Trek DS9 streaming episodes is pretty fun.

I've blacked out past traumas so this is all new to me. And I will thankfully black this out tomorrow.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

I just want to remind you that the sun will come out tomorrow.

Unless it rains.

Or the world ends.

even if the world ends

the sun will come up

that's optimism

on a cosmic scale

I'm actually trying to do work while the game is on. That's not going very well.

[HitInAPinch]

Oh, man.  Finally hit #2 for Twins.   Rocket shot by SANO!!

I can't like this.

Or a big case of ... irony?

 

Or, if the sun comes up and no one is around to see it, does it still come up?

[Platoon]

This is what a weak pitching, power hitting team plays like. Blow em out, and then get blown out. Baseball has always been this way, and always will be!

[Squirrel]

I can't like this.

That's okay. It's your peragative.

[Danchat]

This looks like it'll be a sweep... isn't this the 9th 3-game series the Twins have been swept? And isn't the record 10? Could someone confirm this?

[HitInAPinch]

Um, this was a 4-game series and we won on Monday. But as Aggies pointed out, we will be swept in the DH, if we don't come back and win this. It ain't over ... yet.

For some reason I was thinking about watching Indiana Jones, but I don't think it is streaming, and I have no interest in trying to watch it on my computer (I have a burned copy on a backup someplace). So, maybe Stranger Things, but more likely VIkings (the tv show, not the MN team that might be good).

[jud6312]

Can Escobar come back in now?

[Aggies7]

And the worst wifi ever finally gets knocked out. Thanks Verizon

[Platoon]

I liked it, too.

What has your aunt said about it?

[jimbo92107]

Whatever happened to Sam Deduno? He was better than these guys.

Deduno abides.
