twinssporto Verified Member Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Welcome to another fantastic Twins Daily Game Thread! It looks like our evening game has been postponed due to rain and thunderstorms. Since the game has been rescheduled I will not post my usual intelligent and stimulating introduction. In light of the current circumstances, I will instead fill in our gentle readers on the day I experienced...I was invited last night to participate in the Minnetonka Lions Club annual crappie tournament on Lake Minnetonka today. I arose out of bed this morning at 5:15am excited and ready to win this event. I proceeded to get my gear together and brewed a pot of coffee. After some coffee and a quick breakfast I made my way out to my friend's dock and climbed onto his boat. Everything was going great so far. I did notice the temperature seemed a little bit "chilly". I looked at my phone and it said the air temperature was 35 degrees. Is this spring? It can't be THAT bad I told myself. About an hour into our fishing tournament I noticed my fingers were kind of numb. Since it wasn't my boat I was the anchor boy today. Wet fingers in 35 degree temps make most people irritable. Not me. I kept up the facade. This is fun I told myself. After about 3 hours (and no fish) I thought about my Game Thread post that needed to be written. It truly warmed my soul. It only lasted 10 minutes before I decided I wanted to go in. My fishing partner laughed when I said maybe its time to head in. He explained slowly and with honest enthusiasm it was a tournament and we needed to stay the course (he was wearing gloves, hat and snowmobile suit)...Please I begged, I need to write a Game Thread introduction. "I don't care," he exclaimed loudly. Guess I'm not going home early...Do you have any booze on this boat?, I asked longingly. Oh well, long story short. I am still cold. My fingers dan't wrk so wel and Im kina delereos. Hop yu all have a wonferl evning. Go Twns!!!!! No lineups: RAIN OUT!
Squirrel Community Moderator Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Lol, well I thank you for sticking with it ... both the tournament and the thread.

glunn Community Moderator Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Did you eventually catch anything? It seems very cold for crappie fishing, but cold enough for crappy fishing.
twinssporto Verified Member Posted April 29, 2017 Author Posted April 29, 2017 Did you eventually catch anything? It seems very cold for crappie fishing, but cold enough for crappy fishing.Caught 4 crappies and one bass. All released. Nothing worth while to weigh in at official scales. Did have fun though!
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Fish! It sounds like weather for it. I bet the Twins are better at fishing than the Royals.
twinssporto Verified Member Posted April 29, 2017 Author Posted April 29, 2017 The Royals don't fish. They are land locked in Missouri with very few lakes and one dirty river running through it.
twinssporto Verified Member Posted April 29, 2017 Author Posted April 29, 2017 Whoever the Moderator was that fixed the Game Thread introduction to POSTPONED, thank you. You might also want to add to the title: POSTPONED, but still POSTING. Just a suggestion.
USAFChief Twins Daily Contributor Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Great work. As expected.
Squirrel Community Moderator Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Glad I don't have to miss the game ... off to the theatre!
crapforks Provisional Member Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 I listened to The Royals announce crew last night. Man, Rex Hudler. Tough to listen to. Cringey.
Heezy1323 Verified Member Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Glad I don't have to miss the game ... off to the theatre! What are you seeing?
Blake Verified Member Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Fish!It sounds like weather for it.I bet the Twins are better at fishing than the Royals.Only because the recent versions of the Twins have had more time off than the Royals...
Blake Verified Member Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Glad I don't have to miss the game ... off to the theatre! Real theatre and not a movie? Actors on a stage? That's something I miss about Minneapolis as I do love theatre.
Squirrel Community Moderator Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 What are you seeing?My Fair Lady at the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 My Fair Lady at the Lyric Opera of Chicago.Wouldn't that be loverly! Enjoy!
ashbury Verified Member Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Wouldn't that be loverly!By George, you've got it! / Oh why can't a Royal be more like a Twin? / / Come on Castro, move your bloomin' arse! Buxton's the tying run, right behind you.
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 By George, you've got it! / Oh why can't a Royal be more like a Twin? / / Come on Castro, move your bloomin' arse! Buxton's the tying run, right behind you.I've grown accustom to this thread...
D. Hocking Verified Member Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Bummer about the game I could have posted all Night...
nicksaviking Community Moderator Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 My Fair Lady at the Lyric Opera of Chicago.You said you were going to the theater earlier. Is it a play or musical? Just curious because I'm wondering why the theater version wouldn't still be called Pygmalion.
glunn Community Moderator Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 I listened to The Royals announce crew last night. Man, Rex Hudler. Tough to listen to. Cringey.The same crew used to announce for the Angels.
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Bummer about the game I could have posted all Night...With a little bit of luck.
Craig Arko Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 With a little bit of luck.On the street where you live...
crapforks Provisional Member Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 The same crew used to announce for the Angels.I get a very "boom goes the dynamite" vibe from Hudler.
Squirrel Community Moderator Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Intermission ... lol ... you guys are funny ... I had to cross a soggy plain to attend ... Spain must've sent their rain here
Squirrel Community Moderator Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 On the street where you live...Show me
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 On the street where you live...Is it a spoiler if we mention how My Fair Lady ends? As far as tonight's game goes, apparently the plain in Spain is not the only one the rain stays in.
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Intermission ... lol ... you guys are funny ... I had to cross a soggy plain to attend ... Spain must've sent their rain hereI got ninja'd. But just you wait...
Squirrel Community Moderator Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 I got ninja'd. But just you wait...Pfft ... you're such an ordinary man
twinssporto Verified Member Posted April 30, 2017 Author Posted April 30, 2017 Bummer about the game I could have posted all Night...Me too! May head back out fishing.
