Game Thread: Twins vs. Yankees, 4/25/18 @ 5:35pm CT

[wsnydes]

Just catching up.

 

Lynn was pretty unlucky in the first. Two ground balls get through, then one line drive.

 

And this just in: I HATE the Yankees. Hate them with the intensity of a thousand suns, each in super nova, and all in my living room.

I'm unclear of your true feelings, Chief. Can you elaborate a bit more?

 

And how does Didi's HR change things for you?

[FunnyPenguin]

DONT THROW DIDI THREE STRAIGHT FASTBALLS!!!!

[Platoon]

First hamboogie of the year on the grill for supper tonight. 85% lean burger from Schmidt's Meat Market in Nicollet, topped with an organic tomato from the Northfield Food Coop, skids greased with a Grain Belt Nordeast, another Nordeast to wash down the burger...  God I love Minnesota!!!!

 

Now if the Twins can whip the Yankees tonight I'll believe I've died and gone to Heaven.

 

If they lose....

 

What the hell.

Just had Schmidts Summer Sausage for a sandwich for lunch, and their ribs for supper tonight. Wonderful place, great products, and great service.

[Aggies7]

Boy our pitchers just unravel like a wet newspaper don’t they

 I was sitting in my usual spot earlier this afternoon...having a beer at my usual neighborhood bar after work. There were two medical students next to me, and I was sort of eavesdropping, listening to them "diagnose" every patron. Someone would walk in, they'd watch, and then discuss what was wrong with the person. And there was SOMEthing wrong with everyone, it seemed.

 

Eventually, an old man (imagine that...old in MY eyes) walked in, legs apart, shuffling, a look of discomfort on his face. "Pelfy Syndrome," said the first med student. "You can tell by the shuffle." 

 

"Don't think so," said the other. "Skyatski's Miasma. Look at his face, and the legs far apart."

 

They argued a bit, and finally went to ask him. 

 

"Sir," said the first. "Excuse me, I don't mean to pry, but my friend and I are med students, and we couldn't help notice you as you walked in. Do you by any chance do you have Pelfy Sydrome?"

 

"Nope," said the old man. "You're wrong."

 

"Skyatski's Miasma?" asked the second.

 

"Nope, you're wrong too."

 

"Well then...what DO you have?"

 

"Well...I thought I had gas, but I was wrong too."

Goodnight irene

[USAFChief]

Lynn sucks.

[Aggies7]

Lynn sucks.

So far, I’ve yet to see evidence to the contrary

[Riverbrian]

 

 In fact, I harbor a soft spot for the Bronx Bombers directly related to the NYC subway system, the crack epidemic and some very bad baseball.

 

 

 

Skin tags, milk left on the counter for 4 days, Shrapnel, The DMV, and a low grade fever that just doesn't go away. 

[notoriousgod71]

 

Have we gotten this guy out YET

 

I don't know who you are referring to but the answer is no.

[USAFChief]

I wish Mauer would turn on a ball like that once a yr or so.

[wsnydes]

Well that was a fun inning!

[Aggies7]

0-2 and you nibble nibble nibble to Tyler F-ing Austin

 

9 homers allowed in not even 4 full games. Shameful

Are you sure you be sharing such personal anecdotes on a public forum?

[Riverbrian]

Good thing I wasn't able to see that home run. 

 

Sitting in a hotel in Des Moines. They have the  YES Network but it is blocked due to the completely not understandable blackout rules.

Consider yourself incredibly lucky

[USAFChief]

Coincidentally, that's what we take up to the plate, as well.

At least I don't have cancer.

[Aggies7]

I know it’s taboo in 2018, but at what point does someone catch one in the back here?

I knew Yankees nation was far reaching, but that's absurd.

I believe they coined the term Yankees universe, since the Red Sox first came out with Red Sox nation. So it makes sense

They have cable in Iowa??

[Aggies7]

Man, gray must be really bad if both sano and Morrison have gotten hits off him

[USAFChief]

Gregorius needs one in the ribs. 

[Aggies7]

Does anyone think Robbie won’t GIDP here

[Aggies7]

Gregorius needs one in the ribs.

 

Had enough of the moonshots followed by dancing.? I believe the kids call it clowning

[Riverbrian]

Tonight it's the "NO" network. 

 

Dear MLB, 

 

You have recently publicly expressed a need to grow your audiences. Making it easier for fans to watch baseball would be a good place to start. 

 

Sincerely, 

 

Riverbrian

 

P.S. Uncle... the Twins don't want to play the Yankees anymore. We give up. 

[USAFChief]

me.

[h2oface]

No first to third, no second to home and scoring. Is this team taking advantage of it's elite speed?
