Article: Game Thread: Twins v Tigers, 8/23 @ 7:10pm CT

I don't know about last dance but I remember My Sharona, Another One Bites the Dust and The Stroke at every school dance. 

 

Add I've been working for the Weekend, one of Rick Springfield's songs,  Let's Go Crazy and Footloose.  In retrospect, I am not sure the school I went to was very cutting edge.

 

I think my worst dance experience is once the school had a bus to a dance in another town where they were having a live band.  They were so bad it was painful to listen to them, but if we left the dance area we were not allowed back into the building and would have to wait outside in the cold until the bus took us back home.  There had to be some child cruelty violations in there somewhere.

Announcers just got done saying Tigers defense was way better than the Twins this year.  That didn't sound right so I checked.  Twins 29th in DRS.  Tigers 28th.

[Platoon]

It is indeed an honor to be placed in the same category as the vaunted Tigers defense!

It's like the Gap between Ben Revere being drafted 28th and Wendell Fairley drafted 29th.

Sorry, I forgot,  Defense is judged by errors and fielding %.  I'm sure that's what Bert and Dick are using. SO yeah, Tigers Are WAAAAAAY better on defense :-)

Both organizations had defensive magician Delmon Young at one point on their teams. That alone shows the incredibly high standards both teams have for defense in recent years!

The Tigers uniforms are the worst in baseball... Home and Away.

 

Yep... I said it

Color My World

I believe "Colour my World" was the Prom theme for both proms I attended.

Still a little chip on the shoulder when it comes to things Michigan?

Even with yet another gift strike in the plate appearance., Gibson manages to walk a guy in.

What are they saying about the balk? Didn't look like much.

They are saying it wasn't a balk because it wasn't a balk :-)

Really! Santana over Rosario. C'mon Molly, how about we play the guys with a future here instead of another failed Twins SS prospect who will be out of baseball....oh never mind we got him until 2020.

Sorry guys, didnt see that Rosario was in CF.

Had to lookup what exactly a balk was. 

"In baseball, a pitcher can commit a number of illegal movements that constitute a balk."

 

Jezzz, sorry I asked.  And, feel better, Anibal....

They said he didn't set before starting his delivery motion.  He did

[jimmer]

I like how long Sanchez set himself the rest of the inning :-)  Like he was sayin you know what to the 2B ump.

Bad Gibson tonight.

Good... Bad...

 

I hope weget the Gibson with the gun... Or at least a live accurate arm.

[jimmer]

 

Heard that last time, too.

and how many times have you heard it when it was true? :-)

[Vanimal46]

What'd i miss?

Yoga pants, school lunches, recess, people sticking their tongue on a pole in the winter, detention stories, school dance songs, and more!

Well spoke.

 

But i think i at least glanced at them all. I also saw we are down 1-0 but haven't figured out how that happened.

 

Interesting that school discussions refer to prison movies...

Another great thing about back to school... Is school lunch! School lunches I'm sure are night and day different than when we went to elementary/middle/high school. My favorite school lunches were taco day, and square pizza day! 

What were yours?

Barf on Toast.

Barf on Toast.

So, basically the same as Vanimal's favorite, square pizza? :-)
