Game Thread: Twins vs. White Sox 4-15 @ 1:10 PM CT

[Brock Beauchamp]

They didn't back in. They earned it fair and square.

They've played most of their games against the White Sox and Royals. I'm not sure that qualifies as "fair".

Yeah, but if I had typed "fair OR square", Chief would have just responded, "yes".

Miguel Sano vs. Jose Abreu:

 

Can you feel the TENSION in the air? You can cut it with a knife as these 2 sluggers flat out don't like each other.... 

 

JA: "I hope you brought your jammies, Undertaker. Because I'm going to put you to sleep."
MS: "Put me to sleep? Please.... You're the one putting your fans to sleep hitting 0 home runs so far."
JA: "Oh yeah? At least I'm not striking out 35% of the time in my career."

 

Oh no! There's a crazy look in Miguel's eyes.... Could it be?! YES! It's the Tombstone Piledriver!!

And the crowd goes wild! But WAIT! We're not supposed to see any other AL Central teams here.... What is Eric Hosmer doing running in the ring? As a dirty Royal would do, he just hit Sano in the back with a folding chair... Sano is down. Who can help out the Undertaker now?

Oh my god!! It's Byron "The Rock" Buxton! Please Byron, save Sano from the WRATH of Hosmer!

 

BB: "This ain't your battle, Hosmer. We just played you last week."
EH: "You think I wouldn't make an appearance? We deserve to win the title! We won it all 2 years ago."
BB: "That's old news, Hosmer."
EH: "You know what isn't going to be old news, you batting .081 and striking out 52.6% of the time in April."

 

Oh no! I've seen that look from Buxton before, and he's going to try it.... The PEOPLE'S ELBOW! He's flying around the ring, and...Connection! Hosmer is DOWN! 1....2....3..... PINNED!!
 

But wait! Francisco Lindor sneaks up behind Buxton as he was celebrating the win and knocks him out cold! Who can save Buxton from the BLOODY carnage on the ring?

NO WAY! Could it really be?! Brian Dozier, the REAL AMERICAN is here to avenge his friend.

 

BD: "YOU.... We need to talk. What are you gonna do, brother?"
FL: "You guys are trying to steal property from us. The title is OURS."
BD: "Nobody has the title now, brother. Until I say so, it's MINE."
FL: "You know what else is ours? Your weakness. Down and away pitching so you can't hit home runs anymore! Hahahaha"

 

The crowd is growing EXHAUSTED in anticipation! Right hook... MEAN right hook again for Dozier! Lindor is pushed down, and OMG! It's the LEG DROP!!!

And Dozier wins! He's tearing off his shirt as the ladies go crazy! But wait.... Dozier NO!!

He was sneak attacked by none other than Miggy Cabrera. The former MVP couldn't take the thought of Dozier being better than him.

 

*Lights dim*

Finally! Ervin Kane is here... and boy does he look TERRIFYING and ANGRY....

 

ES: "You don't get to do this to my friends, Miggy. You don't smell baseball, you don't get this title."
MC: "I have something better than that title... I can hit against anyone on your team. In fact, I know off the top of my head that I'm hitting .318/.391/.585 with 40 HR against your team in my career."

 

Is this it? The final battle?! It certainly appears so... Ervin is PISSED. Wait, what's he taking out of his pocket? YES! It's the famous pitching sock! Miggy quivers in fear, knowing what's coming next...

Oh my god! It's over! Twins win! THEEEEE TWINS... WIN! The crowd is going wild for the new AL Central division champions.... Now let's get back to our regularly scheduled programming.

 

 

Win Twins! That is if you play today....

 

Epic intro!  Wish I could have watched the game today.  Great job!

[twinssporto]

This is the kind of stuff that really builds confidence in a team.  Worst to first baby...Book it!

[twinssporto]

 

The trade deadline is going to be very interesting if the Twins are still competing and Santana keeps Cy Young'ing

It's not going to matter.  We might actually be 15 games over .500.

Yeah, but if I had typed "fair OR square", Chief would have just responded, "yes".

Is there anything wrong with Chief responding "yes"?

[snepp]

 

Is there anything wrong with Chief responding "yes"?

 

Concur.

Is there anything wrong with Chief responding "yes"?

No.

Is there anything wrong with Chief?

Sometimes my dyslexia kicks in. I'm gonna have to plead the fifth on this one.
