Game Thread: Twins vs. White Sox 4-16 @ 3:10 PM CT

FTFY.

I didn't think of fixing the noun.

[Walter's Whites]

I have an idea. Let's take the media guide away from Bert and see what he talks about. My guess is nothing. Or how many days until his next birthday.

[Squirrel]

A Grossman walk. Imagine that!

What's the wind like there? Keep hearing the Sox announcers say how wicked it is today.

You would punish us by having us listen to just Dick? You are an evil evil man.

The first car I actually owned was an '85 2-door Ford Escort, manual transmission. The second car I owned was a '94 Acura Integra, also a manual. The third and final car I've owned and still own is a '09 Mini Cooper convertible, still a manual transmission.

[ashbury]

My first car was a 1957 Cadiilac hearse/ambulance...

The bar has been set high for the rest of this thread, regarding first-car stories.

I'm sensing a trend here...small cars?

[stringer bell]

Outside the park--pretty strong. Seems to swirl , but both Grossman and Sox LF staggered under high fly balls.

With a manual transmission

It's hard finding manual transmissions these days.  Fun to drive!

My recommendation would be to either turn on the radio broadcast, mute the TV or put music on. Do not listen to Dick alone. Don't do that to yourself.

They brought in a Red Sox announcer?

[Blake]

I think Shields is lucky for the score to still be 0-0. The Twins have squared up some balls pretty good.

 

Yes, Santiago caught a break, but I don't think the Sox have as many hard hit the balls as the Twins.

[Squirrel]

I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.

 

Except for this undignified response.

[ashbury]

One weak spot in Sano's game continues to be not checking his swing in time to avoid the strike being called at first base.

[crapforks]

I imagine Sano will be seeing plenty of Shields' curveball if they face off again today.

[Squirrel]

I kind of feel that way about listening to Hawk, alone or otherwise. Yet I still do. It's difficult to measure the harm it's caused over the 17 years I've lived in Chicago.

I think Shields goes to the well once to often and Sano puts one in the seats.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Just a tease for all you threaders out there, if you share WW's opinion, you may be in luck next weekend.

15 mph gusting to over 30 mph, it is whipping around.

I'm watching the game on FSN on mute & listening to the Spanish radio broadcast. I don't care for Bert & Dick either.

I'd try to quantify but I prefer to remain a member in standing (notice I didn't say "good") on TD.

I know what the tease is, and for a further tease, it's a good one!

[notoriousgod71]

A base hit? Give me a f-ing break.

[hybridbear]

Santiago might be getting himself into trouble this inning...

[Squirrel]

Just say you prefer to be standing.

[twinssporto]

It will be interesting to see if he gets away with it 3 times.

I don't even speak Spanish and I'd still rather listen to the Spanish broadcast.

[Mr. Brooks]

I think you mean Dozier might be getting him into trouble.

[Squirrel]

It's interesting that Hawk didn't say 'He gone!'
