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

[Danchat]

I don't think the Twins will be getting anything in a trade for Milone.

[Aggies7]

My lord that's park territory

[Squirrel]

Okay, actually, it's warmer here in Chicago right now than what it is in Ft. Myers, FL.

[HitInAPinch]

any chance we can take Milone out now?

[jimbo92107]

I didn't see where that Correia home run went. Did the baseball actually disintegrate?

[Willihammer]

Its hard not to watch Correa and think about what could have been.

If they do it'll probably be Albers. Since they're the same awful pitcher, why even bother wasting the steps out to the mound to make the change?

[Squirrel]

I suppose you have a day to go. Aren't you normally a day behind us? Weather wise.

Tomorrow it's supposed to rain, starting about noon through the night. Argh ... that is going to be one really horrible commute tomorrow.

[Aggies7]

Great, here comes thunder. I'm sure my second rate Verizon wifi will crap out

[Squirrel]

Its hard not to watch Correa and think about what could have been.

Um, how? Wasn't he selected before we picked?

[jimbo92107]

So, does Albers come in after Milone gives up (the first) seven runs?

I suppose, but You'll never get away with it when he's right there in the middle of a major league park.  There are literally dozens of potential witnesses in the stands.

I want to hate you but you make it difficult

I'm glad I haven't eaten dinner yet. Anything in my stomach would've come back up when they just mentioned that Albers is back on the 25-man roster

 

He's on the special 26-man roster they now allow for double-header days, although Boshers on the DL might change his travel plans back to Rochester.  (Hopefully it won't.)

[pierre75275]

Man...I've seen enough of Tommy M. Let's see what Jason wheeler can do.

 

Here's hoping Albers doesn't get TM spot

If you play it off right, nobody would notice ... since he and Albers are the same guy. Along with Darnell and Dean.

[Squirrel]

I like having long, painted fingernails, but it really hurts when you accidentally scratch yourself and remove a chunk of skin.

[Platoon]

Um, how? Wasn't he selected before we picked?

I liked that, knowing that. But I liked it cuz I wish we had just gotten one of them good SS floating around.

[Aggies7]

Welp the new iPhone commercial on MLB tv is absolutely the most irritating one they have.

They just announced that since Albers is already here, he's taking Buddy's spot on the 25.

I saw them.  Pretty sure I can out run them ......

He will. Heart-warming story and we all know that Antony loves bringing guys back.

Okay, now you have to tell us five things that you like, that is around you right now. Go!

I'm betting the "over" on that one.

[Platoon]

They already announced he is on the 25. In Twins World soft tossing lefties are highly regarded!

[jimbo92107]

Well, at least the young players can relax now. Pretend it's just another game in Rochester, but with a smaller crowd...

 

On the other hand, the echoes in Target Field must sound a little eerie...

[Aggies7]

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

Pat Dean and Logan Darnell have to be wondering what could've been.

[Squirrel]

He will. Heart-warming story and we all know that Antony loves bringing guys back.

Um, we do? Who has he brought back? And don't say Bartlet or Kubel because I'm not convinced that was his choice.

[wsnydes]

So, I'm just flipping the game on and I notice the score.  Is this some sort of sick joke?  5-0 in the 3rd AGAIN?????  I had to like octuple take and I still have a hard time believing mine eyes.
