Article: Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox, 9/30 7:10pm CT

[LaBombo]

 

Bars and clubs open late in Chicago, 4am sometimes even later.

Oof. Been there several times but didn't realize just how wee the wee hours are that they serve into.

 

My best shot at being out at 3am is waking up then to go to the bathroom and suddenly deciding I want to use a dirty, busy one with 'personal product' vending machines on the wall.

This is a brave Group posting here tonight. There's no quit in any of you. I tip my cap to y'all.

I'm wavering. There's only so much Pat Dean one can take.

The headliner tonight is Radiohead, but that one requires a wristband to attend. Wish I could remember the name of the band I saw around 5 PM... That was about 5 beers ago. They had a woman lead singer who killed it on stage. More of an alt rock flavor to them.

Can't beat the price. Sounds like something I could very much enjoy. That would have been cool if Radiohead was a free show!

[LaBombo]

 

It's been an interesting afternoon. Our office / the rest of the neighborhood had the power shut down at 3 PM. The assumption is because ACL music festival is in town this weekend... We got out at that time, and went to a couple of free music shows this evening!

Snow day for grown ups, but with t-shirt/shorts weather. Well done.

Honestly it was the best weather of the year here in Austin. 80 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. This type of weather reminds me why I moved out of Minnesota!

I guess when you want to do your best to get a record, you go with Pat Dean.

I wish I had something fun or uplifting to respond to you with. No dice. Agreed.

Speaking only for myself, I will say that yours is the most charitable appraisal of the act watching this dreadful team of any that I can either recall or imagine.

Pat "Master of the Intentional Walk" Light is in

And Pat Light. Holding their trump card, Andrew Albers, for an emergency.

With Molitor, I'm surprised he didn't bring in Rogers to pitch to Abreu.

That would have been great! Listening to "Creep" for free would have been worth it. They do a good job of promoting up and coming artists at this festival. I have no doubt that some of these bands playing at the free shows will be known in a year or 2.

 

There's a lot of musical talent down here this weekend. Last year I was at a bar, and Ludacris played an impromptu show just because he was drinking there too!

That guy makes good breakfast sausage though, I'll give him that.

Ok, ok, get it out of your system now, because in a couple of months that same comment is going to spark a spontaneous mass TD road trip to find your place and crash in your living room.

It's tough not to want Mourneau to have a big hit, even if it spikes this game.

Austin's a Great city. That is pretty damn awesome!

Heh. He is the Intentional Walk Ninja, striking swiftly and silently...

There's room for 3 of you here There's a couch, a love seat, and a blow up queen mattress. One rough thing about living close to the action is it's expensive for not a ton of room... BUT, with how many beers we drink, anything suffices as a bed, right?!

The game has settled into a nice pace. You can catch a little nap, mow the lawn, take out the garbage, and shingle your garage, and not miss a thing.

For old time sakes of the 2016 season.

Dick keeps promising us there's no more games after Sunday for the Twins. He better not be lying to me.

Yeah, >100 losses and Morneau at the plate is as close to rooting for a White Sock as I'm ever likely to get. Might as well, cause with this pitching he's probably gonna crush the ball whether I'm pulling for him or not.

Letting this marinate in the barrel 7 months is only going to make it taste better!

As much fun as Dozier's improbable 42 homers have been, and much as I enjoy the kids learning the game and showing flashes of their potential, I'm getting pretty close to the point where I have about as much invested in watching the Twins as Will and the boys have watching a random little league game.

Light sure is slowing down from how he was advertised.

This is what confuses me too. The reports from Seth / others say he was throwing upper 90s in AAA and when he was with the Red Sox. Why are we only seeing 93-95 every outing?

No worries LaBombo. Come Monday you can back to your daily regiment of watching Anime Snuff Porn Films and get back on the professional Connect Four gaming circuit.

[Kwak]

I wonder what Molitor will do when he doesn't have an 11-man bullpen?

The Twins are "fixing" him. Stay tuned.
