[Jerr]

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

ZACK GRANITE, ladies and gentlemen

 

[stringer bell]

Tigers this year remind me of the Twins last year.

[wavedog]

Have to take back what I said before - we have scored runs for Santana.  We just made him and us sweat it out.  That Tigers bullpen... yuck 

[Don Walcott]

Well, that escalated quickly!

 

Angels are hanging by a thread.

You know what they say.... when your pinch runner gets RBIs in the same inning...

Angels aren't even the closest team to us right now.

[Don Walcott]

Angels aren't even the closest team to us right now.

For the reals?

[IndianaTwin]

Checking in from Comerica Park I'll do my best.

Told ya' I had it covered. We wer just toying with them.

[Don Walcott]

Very, very well done.

Tigers this year remind me of the Twins last year.

I was just going to type: Been there done that, just one season ago.

[Danchat]

This series should really help our run differential. We're basically facing a AAA team!

[Don Walcott]

Busenitz looks a bit like Andy Samberg.

For the reals?

Rangers are closer

[AZTwin]

For the reals?

Rangers have a half game on them now

What do they say?

[Ultima Ratio]

What happened to Kepler? Serious?

[yarnivek1972]

What happened to Kepler? Serious?

Hip. No word as to how serious.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

 

What do they say?

Actually, what they say is, "when your leadoff hitter gets multiple RBI in the same inning....

 

then.... that is supposed to be a good thing.

New discussion thread idea:

 

When does Zack Granite pass Joe Mauer for home runs on the season?

[gil4]

 

I always rush to the game thread when the Twins take the lead.

What is wrong with me??

When I went out to clean up the yard from the hedge trimming I did earlier we were down 3-2 and this place was dead.  What happened?

 

Of course, as I get back, that Navarro guy hits another HR.  I probably should go back out (but I'm not going to.)

Busenitz looks a bit like Andy Samberg.

Is it bad that I have heard of Busenitz but not Samberg? (Seriously, who is he?)

[wavedog]

81!

Rangers are closer

Really?

[jimmer]

we now have a 4 game lead and 7games left to play.

[Don Walcott]

Is it bad that I have heard of Busenitz but not Samberg? (Seriously, who is he?)

Formerly SNL, some cop comedy show, a bunch of movies, viral comedy music videos. He's on the google.

[Don Walcott]

Rangers have a half game on them now

No way, really?

Is it bad that I have heard of Busenitz but not Samberg? (Seriously, who is he?)

OK, I looked him up.  He looks vaguely familiar, but I think it's because he looks like Busenitz.  I chcked his IMDB page, and the only thing I've seen with him in it is Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.
