Article: Game Thread: Twins v Royals, 9/5 @ 1:10pm CT

[stringer bell]

I said in my blog entry that he wouldn't win a Silver Slugger, maybe I should reconsider.

[jokin]

He now only trails Trumbo in HR in the AL.

If you are hearing it and seeing it.

 

I'd be more worried about Winona and Lacrosse. 

Dozier's not raking in Winona or LaCrosse, though. We care only about where Dozier Bombs land.

"Objects in your mirror ..."

[Riverbrian]

 

I still don't understand why stats are erased if a game is rained out. Why can't the stats still count?

 

All evidence of the game that no longer exists must be removed. 

 

When I spill a beer in the living room. I must remove all evidence of it before my wife gets home. 

 

If I don't... she will know that it existed. 

[jokin]

 

 

No, but maybe up one more spot.

 

Ahh, but you're assuming that he can't hit two more homers today... don't sell Dozier so short.

[jimmer]

I still think Altuve wins that.

[jimmer]

You think he meant 200 IP mark?  You know instead of 200 pitch mark.

LOL... ya think?

 

And a certified PED-free Silver Slugger award, to boot.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

 

I'm concerned about Dozier's 36th homer. We've been hearing lots of thunder and seeing some rain. Is there foul weather headed towards Target Field?

If this game is rained out before five innings, I will confront the god of thunder and lightning personally, and then punch him in the face.

[jud6312]

 

I still think Altuve wins that.

Agreed. But by putting it out there now just how deserving Dozier is, it gives the "we never have nice things," "Dozier got screwed" and "we needed this more than Houston" crowds something to run with during the offseason.

[bird]

 

He makes up for it by not having much of a bat.

 

 

And he's quite loveable.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

 

And he's quite loveable.

maybe he's interviewing for president of baseball operations after the season?

[amjgt]

LOL... ya think?

 

And a certified PED-free Silver Slugger award, to boot.

Are we sure?

If Mrs RB is anything like Mrs Chief, and I suspect she is, she'll know anyway, somehow.

[Riverbrian]

Rosario Smosario

 

Ho Hum

 

When does Buxton and Dozier hit again!!!

 

C'Mon!!!

 

Hurry up!!!!

[Riverbrian]

 

If Mrs RB is anything like Mrs Chief, and I suspect she is, she'll know anyway, somehow.

 

Yeah

 

I'm assuming that you are not allowed in the living room anymore either. 

[jokin]

 

Are we sure?

 

Unlike typical juicers, Dozier's head has gotten smaller this season... or does it just look smaller because he cut his hair....?... uhh, OK, now I'm growing a little concerned...

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

que paso?

[Riverbrian]

 

Kennedy proves that the Royals are not perfect. 

 

[spinowner]

Reminds me of the time Rosario stole third in Detroit when the shift was on. I thought it was a great heads-up play but he got criticized for it. This was a good heads-up play by Rosario and Glynn.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

So Rosario snuck home from second on a sac bunt?

 

There was a successful sac bunt????

[spinowner]

Dozier's first AB, solo HR. Dozier's second AB, 2-run HR. Now he's up with 2 runners on.

[USAFChief]

 

Yeah

 

I'm assuming that you are not allowed in the living room anymore either. 

And I'm in trouble not just for spilling the beer, but for trying to hide that fact.

 

With no extra credit for trying to clean it up.  None.  Zip.  Zilch.

 

 

[Riverbrian]

 

Dozier's first AB, solo HR. Dozier's second AB, 2-run HR. Now he's up with 2 runners on.

 

You had me until he struck out. 

[stringer bell]

Had to protect those first two by getting the game to the fifth.

[USAFChief]

Should'a sold high.

 

Stupid Twins.

[stringer bell]

Actually blue gave a pretty high strike there.

[Riverbrian]

 

And I'm in trouble not just for spilling the beer, but for trying to hide that fact.

 

With no extra credit for trying to clean it up.  None.  Zip.  Zilch.

 

Yeah... Women!!!

 

They also give you no credit for percentages. 

 

Wife: You spilled again!!! You Spill all the time!!!

 

Riverbrian: It's not like you don't spill on occasion!

 

Wife: Once a Year... I spill a beer... You spill once a week. 

 

Riverbrian: You have maybe 3 beers a year. I'm having a beer all the time. Based on percentages... I'm kicking your ass! 

 

Riverbrian: Where are going with the TV? 

 

Wife: I'm moving it into the kitchen 

 

Riverbrian: Gates and Padlocks to keep me out of the living room again?

 

Wife: Yep

 

Riverbrian: I'll go get the gate out of the garage.
