Game Thread: Twins vs. Indians 4-19 @ 7:10 PM CT

This thread really isn't my style. I need to find something that's more me.

I'm not so good at the maths

I disagree. I am sure it is the denial that Major League came out 28 years ago. WTF? It is traumatizing.

Looks like rain, oh well.

In honour of the recent 28th anniversary of the greatest baseball movie ever made, and the it's connection to the Twins opponent, I bring you the Major League Game Thread.

All discussion in today's thread must be in relation to the movie. If something happens in the game, only Major League references are to be used. Players will be referenced by who you think most closely resembles them in the movie, from both teams.

For inspiration, here is a list of the funniest lines from the movie

Lineups.

Have fun

You know, even the best have trouble with game threads. Even the great RB. 

Who, you say?

BTW.....you're all doing it wrong.

 

Or is that y'all?

False!

Since there was no game tonight- I'll share a true anecdote.

 

While at the game on Saturday, I walked around between Pizza Luce and Red Cow up near Minnie and Paul's. Up there, you'll find three statues-- one of the Lady Liberty, one of Mickey Mouse, and one of a large Apple. There was a tiny little opening on the base of the Apple, I peered into the little gap and noticed that the base of the statue had been weighed down with left over bobble-head parts. No joke. Little unpainted Paul Molitor heads that had been cemented together to create a formidable base. I took photos but don't have them hosted- so I can't share right now.

 

It was a Soilent Green type moment. I was horrified. An example of Twins budgetary frugality or a terrifying conspiracy that goes all the way to the top?

 

I can't imagine a small child noticing this and what their reaction would be.

I saw a blurb about today being the anniversary of the first airing of a Simpsons episode.

 

I won't say which because i don't Bark to feel old...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yes we can...

Told ya so.

 

Not that we will, mind. Just that we can.

IMHO:  Bang the Drum Slowly was the greatest baseball movie, ever.  Incredibly sad.....
