Sweet!

Marnie Gelner: As always after the game, we'll be asking manager Paul Molitor what the hell happened.

[Comrade Bork]

To be totally frank, to me it looks like Pat Dean has better starter stuff than Kyle Gibson, who seems to have lost a lot of movement. I'd also like to see them try Taylor Rogers for a couple starts.

 

Gibson is about to go on the DL for lack of feeling in his fingers. Probably should have some bone chips removed.

 

 

Sorry Chief, the Fandom for the best of me. Nothing to do with the twins... It's just better TV atp

[Platoon]

What is Orlando hitting? If he can field like that, it can't be over .200

[USAFChief]

spoiler alert:  The Vikings played the Bengals tonight in preseason NFL football.

I am really excited to see what this team is going to look like next year when we get out pitching issues straightened out............

And out of the time capsule from 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 popped a singing, dancing frog, along with a Twins fan's fervent hopes for a competitive pitching staff next year.

Edit: Forgot Eddie is a fellow sax man, plus it was mean to use such a bad picture, so here's a better one.

This is what Kyle Gibson's gonna look like in twenty years!

Just think if you were an established NFL, and got yourself hurt in a f*^king preseason game! Ugh!

[USAFChief]

False.  

 

Nothing, and I mean nothing, about Gibson screams "one hit" wonder.

It could also be a picture of Ron Davis...Blowing the lead again.  Get it?

I am past fervent, or hope, or probably next year as well.

Chief - I got the game thread intro tomorrow night.  Hopefully I won't be a one hit wonder too.

[operation mindcrime]

He needs to pack his bags and leave tonight.

Take me out of the game tonight. I don't wanna pitch no more im not feeling right!

This post made me think of watching the Twins, since April. It's like in an alternate reality. The games count for someone, and it's been fun to see some of the new guys, but deep down you know it don't make one hell of a bit of difference if they win or not. It's basically a 110 game extended ST!

[jimbo92107]

Dean is pitching like he wants somebody's job.

I predict a long, successful and frequent game thread career.

Sandwiches and cats. And Abraham Lincoln. Just don't work blue, the mods don't like it.

False.  The mods love it.

 

The OWNERS don't like it.

Things there can be no explanation for:

 

-the meaning of life

 

-the nature of the universe

 

-somebody is paying for those Jack Links sasquatch commercials

Too clever for your own good.. I laughed way to hard.

[Comrade Bork]

I wanted to make a joke, but the list of failed pitchers is just too long

[jimbo92107]

False.  The mods love it.

Good point. I keep forgetting that somebody thinks this thing will be their retirement nest egg. Me, I'm betting the lootery.

I guess baseballs only have seams in the top half of innings.

Best done heavily sedated?

I can't imagine a conscientious obstetrician would put the epidural right through my forehead

"conscientious obstetrician " might be one of the greater things I've heard

Unless you're in the Hamptons or Beverly HIlls, in which case you probably have one right there in your neighborhood who can take care of it for you.

I was going to assert they might make a small fortune in Twins territory but the truth is it's way too niche a market. Such a niche I'm bot surprised the Twins aren't selling wins on Etsy

False.  The mods love it.

Speak for yourself. Personally, I hate the competition.
