Game Thread: Twins v Yankees, 7/18@7:10pm CT (5:10pm PT)

[Guest]

At the risk of being inappropriate, I have a serious question. Yesterday's minor league report said Lewis Thorpe was pitching today, but he isn't. What's the story?

Also, tomorrow's Chattanooga pitcher is listed as TBD, even though it's Gonsalves's turn. Is Gonsalves going to Rochester and Thorpe to Nooga?

Ineligible Bartolo Downfield?

 

Intentionally Belated DFA?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Cristobal, discovered the first shortstop in 1492.

Only a couple centuries after a Viking ship discovered the Go Long, right?

Intentionally Belated DFA?

Then what does DFA stand for...

 

Don't Ask?

[GCTF]

Hot damn, televised here. I can see Bartolo in all his sweaty, XXXXL glory.

Incredibly Beleaguered Defense?

Mrs Chief asked me today if we could have a yard sale Saturday, she wants to get rid of things around the house that are "just collecting dust."

 

I said "OK, how 'bout we start with the vacuum cleaner?"

Unsurprisingly, it was in what's now the Dominican.

As entertaining as it might be to watch tonight's Twins game just to see whatever will be ... I might have to be checking in on the Miracle game with Lewis Thorpe on the mound and BRENT ROOKER IN LF!! Yup ... he's up and starting!

 

Sounds more entertaining than the Twins-Yankees.

I would like to point out that this was a lie. Lewis Thorpe is not on the mound.  For some reason, we signed former Oriole's 2B Brady Anderson to pitch.  Rooker is playing.

[USAFChief]

True story:  Mrs Chief just saw Bartolo warming up in the pen on TV.

 

"That's not real, is it?"

Hmm ... that's what the schedule said earlier ...

With or without a bucket of extra crispy? Or was the warm up a bucket of chicken?

No.

That's my moment of the season. The no doubt hof'er strikes out looking against a grossly overweight 44 year old

[Aggies7]

Hilariously bad strike 1 call, but a makeup call for ball 4

[insert your favorite Judge Colon joke here]

[jimmer]

um, why is Granite batting 2nd?

Baseball, eh?

[USAFChief]

Because otherwise Girardi would protest and the hitter would be out.

[USAFChief]

"THREE and oh, with Mauer on deck!"

 

drink.

[Aggies7]

The Yankees broadcasters, for the second night in a row, want you to know that granite has a dog named jeter.
