Perfecto, no more!

[yarnivek1972]

Just getting done with work.

 

Of course James Shields is no hitting the Twins. Why wouldn’t he?

My Mom was full blooded Norwegian. She had gotten herself used to lutefisk growing up and had acquired the taste for it. 

 

However, Neither Dad or any of us kids liked it so Mom eventually stopped preparing it because nobody else would put it on their plate. 

 

I always suggested to Mom that if she likes it... she should have it and I even promised to eat it so it wouldn't go to waste... But she knew nobody liked it... so she wouldn't do it. 

 

Fast Forward to 1989 and the very first Thanksgiving attended by my future wife. 

 

As you can imagine: My soon to be bride and my family is just getting to know each other and therefore overly nice... overly respectful... not real yet. 

 

Anyway... about a week before that Thanksgiving. We stopped by the house and I told Mom that she loves Lutefisk just to be funny and she didn't want to make any waves so my wife nodded her head yes.

 

She had never had Lutefisk but Mom was so excited that someone else in the room liked it and it was prepared. 

 

To summerize this story... My wife choked it down and even said "Mmm... this is good" on occasion.

 

She still hasn't forgiven me. 

I just googled lutefisk. It does not look like something that I would want to try.

[Jerr]

Now the shutout, no-hitter and win need to go!!!!!!

[tvagle]

Robby plays a single into a double...nice!

GLORM!!!

 

Can I draw a cold beer for you?

 

Now you type: "No Thanks I know what they look like... Just pour me one.

It's a good thing you didn't marry me.

Grossman's defense has a tangible negative impact again. Any remotely decent outfielder would have limited that hit to a single. That's a run scored entirely on Grossman's poor fielding.

[Blake]

This is sad.

 

Mr. Gibson is doing an excellent job yet Shields is beating the Twins.

 

Uggh.

[twins_89]

I feel bad for Gibson. He's pitched a great game but gets burned on a wild pitch/passed ball and Grossman's defensive limitations.

[Jerr]

No-hitter DEAD!!!!!!! Now tack on the loss!!!!!!

 

 

[Puckett34]

No-no, no more!

[Jerr]

Grossman, DO something good!!!!

 

[70charger]

The Eddies are really coming through for the Twins.

[Vanimal46]

Today is also 'Wish Vanimal a Happy Birthday' Day

Thanks Chi! If I were a baseball player there would be several threads started to DFA me now at this age... All of the potential is gone and unrealized.

You haven't seen those threads?

 

Must be your eyesight. Tends to go as one ages...

[Riverbrian]

Thumbs up to Logan for that. 

[Squirrel]

Yes!

[Jerr]

Twins are listening to me and their fans!!!!!

 

[70charger]

Great at-bat. Both Eddies come around to score.

 

Almost feel bad for Shields. Almost.

[Aggies7]

Great for lomo

[Danchat]

Good to see Morrison finally producing. Now we've got to trust the bullpen with a small lead...

[wavedog]

First step, take Grossman out and put LaMarre in

Leave Gibson in until and if, someone gets to 2nd.

 

[Puckett34]

Lo-Mo fo-sho

[Squirrel]

If only Molitor could/would think this way ...

[Aggies7]

Death, taxes and the twins bullpen being terrible

[Jerr]

Should have stuck with Gibbie, now the bullpen          

[TFRazor]

So much for that

[adorduan]

Just think how good Gibson's ERA would be if the bullpen could just strand an inherited runner....
