Game Thread: Twins @ Royals, 6:15pm CDT 9/28/2016 AD

[operation mindcrime]

John Ryan Murphy needs to drop his middle name or do something with his name.  Maybe he should call himself JR Murphy.  Sounds tougher.  May strike fear into opposing pitchers.

It should just be Murphy! Robocop's name was Murphy and so was Roy Scheider's name in Blue Thunder.

Twins have lost 30 out of their last 37 games?????    

Really?

 

I had no idea we'd won that many.

Don't ruin this for me Connie.

 

I'm so depressed I'm quoting commercials on tv now...

Connie? Was she the one in the ED commercials? Ruin what?

[USAFChief]

 

Tie locks?

Canadian for "Thai stick."

Tie locks, zip ties. Take your pick.

The Drive for 105 continues!

Are we setting our sights too low? What about Sunday's game?

Jack Morris goes with the 'Groundhog Day' reference to describe the Twins' September suckitude.

 

Finally, someone in the FSN broadcast team gets it...

I laughed so loud my dog barked at me.  Hilarious!

I think once, I get the spelling down, I can get away to Canada, as their fences(?) need more ties and when the snow flies, I could just step over them....WHAT AN EMBARRASSING SEASON  and yeah I'm yelling!!!!

[USAFChief]

Thanks all, I'm too stupid to quit watching, the game threads make it bearable.

Woos, we used to hand tie those snow fences with baling wire. In fall we put them in a circle and filled them with ear corn, sometimes three high.

I went to the Ryder Cup practice round today.  So much more entertaining than this mess tonight.

I'll bet their game thread wasn't nearly as good.

[twinssporto]

This thread is even more funny now that the game is over AND we lost.  I really am laughing hard.  Great posts!!

Don't worry; it's just that I couldn't find a demo derby car with the number 106 on it. But that doesn't mean I'm giving up on the dream.

Same here, I almost dread a possible winning team, the sarcasm could be muted? UGH

[twinssporto]

The Europeans were arrogant anyway.

Actually , harder to leave here than shutting off the game   

[jimmer]

We could end up with 10 more losses than any other team in baseball.  Think about that.

Hey now...let's not get ahead of ourselves here.  One desultory, spiritless game at a time.  

[twinssporto]

Just once I would love to see a post game interview with the opposing team that went something like this:

 

Reporter:  Great game Mr. Orlando.  You guys have been playing really inspired baseball the last few games.  What do you attribute it to?

 

Player of opposing team:  That Twins team really sucks.  It really helped that we had a 4 game series with them.

Royals celebrate being eliminated from the playoffs by a Baltimore win instead of a KC loss to the worst team in baseball...

The Europeans were arrogant anyway.

Quote from the brother of an English golfer. >>>>. “For the Americans to stand a chance of winning, they need their baying mob of imbeciles to caress their egos every step of the way,” Pete wrote. “… Team Europe needs to silence the pudgy, basement-dwelling, irritants, stuffed on cookie dough and … [weak] beer, pausing between mouthfuls of hotdog so they can scream ‘Baba booey’ until their jelly faces turn red.

 

“They need to stun the angry, unwashed, Make America Great Again swarm, desperately gripping their concealed-carry compensators and belting out … ‘mashed potato.’ … They need to smash the obnoxious dads, with their shiny teeth, Lego man hair, medicated ex-wives, and resentful children. Squeezed into their cargo shorts and boating shoes, they’ll bellow ‘get in the hole’ whilst high-fiving all the other members of the Dentists’ Big Game Hunt Society.

 

“Team Europe need to silence these cretins quickly.”

Hey 'north...any truth to the rumor if Trump wins Canada's building a wall?

I'll kick in a few buck for it of that's what it takes.

Just think how terrible some of the NL and other AL division teams feel about not getting to play us 18 times. Really tilts the standings.

We used to fashion up old coat hangers to fasten em with, in the freezing cold in our bare hands. Dammit!

Twins have lost 30 out of their last 37 games?????    

And 102 of their last 158.
