Game Thread: Twins v Mariners, 6/13@7:10pm CT

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Is that bad?

Maybe.

 

But not to the bone.

[Aggies7]

Now that was an impressive first inning!

[yarnivek1972]

I'm reminded of the Apollo era at NASA. Alan Shepard was working in the astronaut office, semi-responsible for assigning crews to missions. He had days when he was in good moods. And days when he was not. The office secretary began to hang pictures up to indicate Al's mood of the day.

 

We need that for Kyle. Maybe one picture of him with his head down, passing the ball to Molitor. Maybe one with him watching a HR fly out. And one with him getting handshakes in the dugout. Of course, how we figure out what picture to use (and which pitcher has shown up) is the trick.

[70charger]

 

He's off to a good start!

 

Never mind!

[jimbo92107]

Getting the impression Gibson has abandoned that whole "pitch inside and mix 'em up" idea.

 

Gosh, this team sure could use a young ace from the draft. Any candidates?

 

Excuse me, I'll clean up that puddle of sarcasm.

[Aggies7]

This might be the real skid that crashes us back to earth for good. Ten game homestand.

[yarnivek1972]

The Saturday double header insures that Gibson's next start is secure. After Sunday though, I suspect he will be released for good.

[Jax]

Um

 

Can we just play every game on the road please...

[Aggies7]

Six hits already. SIX.

[yarnivek1972]

Don't look to the bullpen Kyle. You're out there for a minimum of 5. Suck it up buttercup.

[Aggies7]

Only 24 pitches for king Kyle. Sacrificial lamb, don't care how bad it gets.

[Winston Smith]

When is batting practice over and the game starts?

[Jax]

First free night I have in a while and I have to watch this. Damn!

[Aggies7]

Just simply a horrible decision by Rosario there.

[wsnydes]

This time I leave to let the dog out and another run scores...I need to quit leaving the room I guess.

[Aggies7]

When is batting practice over and the game starts?

Funny, I'm asking the exact opposite.

[yarnivek1972]

Charlie Brown moment there.

[jimbo92107]

 

First free night I have in a while and I have to watch this. Damn!

Lucky me, I'm headed out to play tennis for a couple hours. I'll survey the damage later. Call me if FEMA is required. 

 

I may need another bar towel for that puddle of sarcasm...

[bighat]

 

Disappointment seems to be the theme of the day around Twins Daily.

 

Gibson seems to be hammering that theme home here early on.  Geez, the Twins are just BAD at home.  Really depressing to turn on the game and feel it's already out of reach. 

[Blake]

 

This time I leave to let the dog out and another run scores...I need to quit leaving the room I guess.

Yeah, I left the room too and am now wondering if it's going to be an early night. This is ridiculous. The Twins are making the Mariners look like Houston.

[Aggies7]

I get chills in a bad way when I see teams playing dress up as a form of bonding.

[jimbo92107]

Neil Allen: Dang Kyle, that almost hit you. That's a hint.

Gibson: I have no idea what you mean. 

 

Bartender, one more towel, please.

[Jax]

Maybe it's just me but I hate when Sano is not playing. It's so fun waiting for his at bats.

[howeda7]

The only way we're winning is if we score 8 + runs. That's not happening. 

[wsnydes]

Maybe it's just me but I hate when Sano is not playing. It's so fun waiting for his at bats.

I prefer watching his at bats over waiting for them myself. To each his own.

[wsnydes]

Atta boy Max!

[Jax]

That a kid kepler

[yarnivek1972]

Maybe it's just me but I hate when Sano is not playing. It's so fun waiting for his at bats.

I don't feel like going to the beginning of the thread. Is there some reason he isn't playing?

[Dave The Dastardly]

Like I was saying...

 

My brother-in-law, the robot guy... no, he's not a guy robot. He's a guy that builds robots. Anyway, he's pretty anal when it comes to planning stuff, I suppose if you want your robots to work right you have to be anal... the robot guy, not the robots. So he decides to blow insulation into the side walls of his 1950's era house as a do-it-yourself project. So he's outside blowing insulation into the walls, my sister dumping bag after bag of insulation into the hopper when it occurs to him he'd calculated he'd only need three bags to fill each 16" cavity. But my sister has six empty bags laying at her feet and just dumped in a 7th. So the anal robot guy gets down off the ladder, walks around to the front door of the house, walks in to the living room and sees six bags of insulation blown across the room. Apparently he'd neglected to take into consideration the interior wall plaster was cracked and ready to implode.

 

Kind of reminds me of the Twins. We collected a lot of numbers, did a lot of calculating and "improved" the team by drafting a high school shortstop, forgetting the pitching staff is cracked and ready to implode.

 

For some reason Gibby made me think of that.

Strikeout fetish, huh?
