Game Thread: Twins v White Sox, 6/21@7:10pm CT

[twinsnorth49]

My little league team excels at that play.

[Aggies7]

Instead of a 3rd freakin NY team, how about a Salt Lake team?

I remember when charlotte was the hot market to land MLB, but they just built a new park that could never be expanded. I also remember when buffalo was in the mix.

May the Force be with the bullpen.

Austin could use a pro team!

St. Louis can use another team, again.

Points for guessing the film.

 

(Written by a Chicago guy).

 

I'm going with the best screenplay of all time

 

Casablanca

 

I'm probably wrong... but I took a guess... Hoping for a point or two.

PEDANTRY ALERT!

 

"Disinterested" means neutral. We expect, for example, the umpires to be disinterested.

 

"Uninterested" means having a lack of interest.

 

I do not accept that these are becoming interchangeable in the common patois.

 

PEDANTRY OVER!

On a related note, when you have Dysentery it does not mean you have Unentery, because there is no such word.

This guy! Is now the time to put in an order for Christmas cookies as well?

Well, if the Hallmark Channel can show Christmas movies in July, I guess it's not too early to place an order for cookies.

Was there something on this?

 

Or did someone speculate on baseball expansion because of hockey expansion. 

 

If there is expansion

 

Vegas and San Juan

Even though Buxton whiffed on that slider outside the zone, I liked the hip action. He brought his rear hip forward, and did not retreat with the lead hip. He even finished straddling the plate, which is exactly what he needs to do. Progress. 

 

Next, get him to turn the hip with the back knee tucked in beside the lead knee. That's where the great ones get a powerful snap. The knock-knee finish keeps the hands traveling forward in a straight line, rather than an arc. 

....then you turn yourself around--  that's what it's all about!

Gonna update us on your season stats?

[jimbo92107]

I don't know why Buxton didn't steal 2nd at least six times. He could have stolen 2nd, then gone back to first, stolen again, etc.

Okay, so, no problem the talent well has been diluted and decent pitching is hard to come by..let's expand and make things worse!

Bert and Dick were talkin.

16-0, .50 ERA, 768 SO.

 

My slash line on the other hand.....we will not be talking about.

Cool

 

You understand perfectly. 

 

The less pitching for everyone else... the better off for the Twins.

 

 

[jimmer]

Just cause some teams have a hard time recognizing/developing MLB talent (especially pitching) doesn't mean it's diluted.

[Darius]

What a game for Berrios.

Check me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can do that Jimbo.

[70charger]

 

12 in a row, for Berrios! 12 in a row, for Berrios!! 12 IN A ROW, FOR BERRIOS!

 

No!! I have a crazy ex-girlfriend there, and if she might enjoy it, I'm against it!

 

(Sorry dude.)

[ashbury]

Make sure the coach takes you for ice cream after the game!

Ahh... I see

 

(Thinking)

 

I love Dick and Bert... They are one of us

 

(Thinking)

 

However... I don't want them making commissioner type decisions. 

 

 

[Vanimal46]

Leave him in for the 9th. Dude is cruising through this game.

[jimbo92107]

A thing of beauty. After the game, I say they give Berrios first shot at the team bar of soap in the communal shower. He's earned it. 

[Jerr]

 

And in order to maintain interest.

 

The game thread gets goofy on occasion

 

God I love Baseball!!!

Ok.....just occasionally...... yep...right....concur......
