Article: Game Thread: Twins @ Cardinals, 5/7-7:10pm CT

I spotted it.

Probables have Lewis pitching for Jackson and Thorpe for Chattanooga.

But how could they have different records and eras?

Oh, I forgot that Thorpe's first name was Lewis, which happens to be the other starter's last name.

Oh, I forgot that Thorpe's first name was Lewis, which happens to be the other starter's last name.

And it is a Lookout home game.

 

Otherwise you'd have to mentally insert a pretentious comma to read it that way.

I wonder why nobody in St. Louis has written the “Kolten Wong Song”. Once it is written, I will wonder why it isn’t sung by Paul DeJong.

 

Even one verse would be too long.

And a little bit louder and a little bit worse...

[Riverbrian]

 

At this point, I'd wager he's getting them free. For the publicity if nothing else. And if he's not he needs a new agent

 

I researched it. Turns out that he claims that he gets no special deal. Pays the Menu Price every time. 

[Riverbrian]

 

I wouldn't say it's a bad show, but it is my least favorite show on the network. They can do a lot better. 

 

I agree as far as my tastes go. I watch the MLB Network all the time and I listen to the MLB Network on Satellite Radio almost exclusively in my car. 

 

I don't mind the yelling and I appreciate his historical knowledge but all in all... he spends too much time talking about decades ago and not enough time about right now. 

[Riverbrian]

 

Back in the day I used to order a double cheeseburger and ask for the big mac sauce (this was when they were a buck). This is the way to go, but not sure if they will still do it. This has been your fast-food loophole-tip-of-the-day. 

 

I'll be trying that next trip to McDonalds. I haven't been to McDonalds in quite some time so I'm probably due for a trip. 

[Riverbrian]

I'm looking forward to watching Fernando Romero pitch tonight. I only saw a lunch time inning from him in his last start. 

 

I sure hope he pitches well so my looking forward to it bears fruit. 

[BoofBonser]

Twins, please do the following:

• Fully run around the bases more times than the Cardinals
• Bring me a medium hand tossed pepperoni pizza from Dominoes 

Failure to complete these tasks will result in immediate expulsion from the BoofBonser basement club. 

Thanks, and see you soon.

Translation: I haven’t had a case of food poisoning in quite some time so I’m probably due.

I've heard that he is a Giants Fan first and foremost.

 

Yankees ends up being daily content because they have a larger and more active audience base than everybody else. Just playing the percentages for ratings and revenue.

Started to click like because I understood, but then I realized I didn't like.

[Squirrel]

I have chicken cooking. Of course I will not be so presumptuous to eat any until the game is over and we’ve won.

[ewen21]

This has been coursing through my brain the last few days.  Can't say I am too upset about that

I tried it about two years ago and they claimed they had to charge like 70 cents for it. I used to do it when they had dollar mcdoubles, at that time the big mac sauce was free.  

[Squirrel]

I just got a phone call and the caller ID said ‘Not in service.’ If the number calling isn’t in service, how is the person on the other end able to make a call.

[Nine of twelve]

Good swing on that one, Kep. Now let's get him in.

[tbhysgb]

Kepler's swing is so smooth

According to CSPI data, you're actually more likely to get food poisoning at a medium to high priced sit down restaurant than you are at McDonalds.

 

Mainly because your food is handled more at a sit down restaurant- fast food uses pre packaged and pre prepared.

Also because fresh ingredients have more opportunities to become contaminated than pre prepared and preserved ingredients.

Sit down restaurants do more handling of raw meats and seafood, increasing the chances of cross contamination.

Fast food chains like McDonalds also have equipment that literally doesn't allow their products to be undercooked.

Finally, huge corporations like McDonalds have more control over their suppliers handling processes before McDonalds receives the products.

It's weird how you put a guy that actually gets on base hitting lead off and a guy that's actually hitting in the three hole and a run gets scored.

 

I think Molitor is on to something here!

You are right on top of things. Already trying that recipe from yesterday. 

[BoofBonser]

Good guys score first!

The Violent Femmes are from Milwaukee. You might as well just cheer for the Packers.

I'm just guessing but I'd bet money it's a phone call you don't want to get anyway.

Intentional unintentional walk in progress.

That was in the right handed batters box!

Yeah. 

 

Take that you well dressed fancy waiter needing a big tip, prices not listed on the menu, restaurant.

Intentional unintentional walk in progress.

That's better!

Get greedy. No reason to stop at two runs.

I love me some big crooked numbers.

That’s might be the true data, but it doesn’t match up with my personal experience, so unfortunately. Food poisoning is why I will not eat at McDonalds again.

[TFRazor]

Why they pitched to Rosie in that situation I'll never understand
