[Squirrel]

Well, guess not this time.

[Squirrel]

Wow ... go Bux!

[Riverbrian]

 

Wow ... go Bux!

 

And Polanco as he moved toward third to throw across his body for the out. 

 

 

[Squirrel]

And I seem to be talking to myself. Y'all must have gone into the invisible sub-thread again.

[Riverbrian]

Everyone else is typing in white font. 

 

Use a black background. 

[Riverbrian]

Belisle can't wear #9

 

Pitchers can't wear single digits. 

 

It'll bug me.

If that's all that bothers you about the Twins this year, I think we'll be doing pretty good.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I am living vicariously, as i am wont to.

 

And marginally failing at multitasking.

 

So it goes.

Belisle can't wear #9

 

Pitchers can't wear single digits.

 

It'll bug me.

Think of it in binary...

[Bark's Lounge]

 

Arenado  with two errors. 

 

Uff Da

Even the best of dogs spill out onto the carpet sometimes.

 

Today Arenado had a case of the defense Diarrhea. He'll be a good dog again.

List of things that will bug me about the Twins this year

 

10. No Lutefisk at Target Field

9.  Mauer refusing to shout Aye Batter Batter at the opposing hitters. 

8. National Anthems Performed by TC Bear

7. Flowers in the Flower Bed that are squished by baseball not being replaced quickly. 

6. No actual Twins on the Twins Roster

5. Poorly planned World Series Championship Parade that is routed through White Bear Lake

4. Wisconsinites and NDSU Bison Fans on the light rail wearing Green and Gold

3. No Trees in Centerfield. 

2. Matt Belisle wearing #9 

1. Not making Belisle wearing #9... #9 on this list. 

[David HK]

 

Okay, I want to get something straight here. Talking about the game is absolutely acceptable in a game thread. It's encouraged, even. It's a must. But game threads can stray to wherever it goes, too. There are no strict rules in game threads about sticking to topic. So, you can talk about the game or not, it's all good.

I don't know about that game-talk stuff.  I think, next stop: Communism.

I stayed with friends out that way. Proudly showed me the bar from Fargo. Would be nice if they could take in the parade.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I by the way.

 

We are ahead.

 

Thanks to sacrificing a fly.

[Danchat]

Wait... why is Alex Wimmers pitching for Team USA? Are they really low on relievers or something?

We loaned them some arms for the game. And the USA Gave nothing back.

"Ask not how you can give up a one-run lead in the ninth..."

Ugh ... Santana should've had that one. Someone should have.

[Riverbrian]

Breslow getting no help from Santana says "Fine... I'll do it myself".

[Squirrel]

Okay, well ... despite some of it ... they still win.

" Ask not why your teams top "SS" prospect is playing second base, while a joke utility player is playing SS"

This ... honestly ... DanSan is just not good and should not be there.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Mr. Not wants to know why everyone keeps asking him things.

 

If he's said it once, he has said it 8 times: he don't know.

[DocBauer]

Can't believe Team USA lost their luggage! Having to play the game in their pajamas really threw their game off.
