Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox, 5/11/17 - 7:10pm CT

Bad defensive positioning is rarely a problem on strikeouts

[LaBombo]

 

I bet these Sox can't get 10 runs in one inning

 

Just what the Twins bullpen needed, a 'Challenge accepted' finish to make things messy.  I smell trouble...

Call me a skeptic if you must, but I'm starting to have my doubts that Belisle is the shut down 8th inning guy we all assumed he was.

You're wrong. His entrance causes a lot of browsers to get shut down.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Well...yeah.

[Aggies7]

Put Eddie G in. There was a man who could get things done.

[Riverbrian]

 

Belisle gives me a stomach ache whenever he comes in.

 

Now lets get two here.

 

Now I understand

 

We ate at Applebee's tonight... that's what I thought it was

[mikecgrimes]

 

 

with the tying run on third, one out in the 8th?

 

ALWAYS play the infield in.

 

I'll let them tie it before I turn the batter into a .500 hitter with the potential winning run at second

[Aggies7]

Cabrera almost got decapitated

[Aggies7]

HUGE

 

Wow

[mikecgrimes]

Shut down closer

[drock2190]

Kintzler puts Kahnle to shame

[USAFChief]

source?

[70charger]

Kintzler, that well-known strikeout pitcher, does it again.

[USAFChief]

there's the boom-shaka.

 

still need the -laka.

[David HK]

Whenever Dr. K comes into a ballgame, I get this kind of feeling....

 

 

Sidebar:  I always wondered why, if you're a tightrope walking family, you'd go by the moniker "Flying" Wallendas.  Like, flying is maybe something you don't want to do when you're walking several meters about the ground...?

[Aggies7]

there's the boom-shaka.

 

still need the -laka.

Or my favorite, boom chicka pop pop, the officials popcorn of the twins

[glunn]

I need my rheumatism medicine to get through this one.

I must, I must!

 

[gocgo]

Wow!  I quit watching when we were up 7-2.  Oh well, hold on for the win boys!

[Blake]

Again, "ground ball" Kintzler gets a strikeout, or two, when he needs them. 

[Riverbrian]

 

"Vera."

 

Gotcha.  

 

My bad.

 

Frazier references I'll never get.

[Aggies7]

Man if buxton ran right away he was there

[mikecgrimes]

Buxton has been horrible tonight.  Bench him tomorrow for not running out of the box.

[David HK]

Sheesh, Bux got eaten alive by the Dread Pirate Roberts-on.

[Aggies7]

Ol Jerry got one in the cookies

My co-worker showed me awhile back how to use 1 piece of toilet paper if I ever got in a bind.

 

Now this was a presentation outside of bathroom, mind you.

[Riverbrian]

 

I need my rheumatism medicine to get through this one.

 

Yep... that's what I had at Applebee's.

[mikecgrimes]

If Buxton ever sees a pitch headed for the dirt on an 0-2 count he should be instructed to swing

[USAFChief]

Is that Chicago's CLOSER in the game, down 1 in the ninth?

 

Is that even legal?

[Aggies7]

Yep... that's what I had at Applebee's.

I'm still surprised ND has applebees
