6. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. And i'm nothing if not flattering. Wait no... I told that wrong! Meh, my editor will fix that. I been meaning to write Joe Ms go aMuck and take over the thread intro for a while. Now i don't know what to do...

 

5. A game thread at rest tends to remain at rest until acted on by an outside force. That is why they are better at Target field. Please be impulsive here!

 

4. Joe Malarki: Hey McCarthy, whatya doin' in that old champaign bottle?

 

Joe McCarthy: Shhh! You'll spoil the surprise!

 

Malarki: Everyone has gone home. Mauer said he has a headache or something. If i had a nickel... Anyway, this place has been empty for a few days now. I'm just cleanin' up a bit, as a few of us Joe shMoes were going to have a picnic. Oh wait. What kind of champaign is that? Citris flavored? Low carb? Get out of there now! Quit hogging the Lime Light.

 

McCarthy: All yours, if you happen to have a towel...

 

3. Their team:

 

Perennial division favorites these days.

I suppose i shouldn't surprised that they are leading the division. If we were in their place would we rub it in our faces? Hope we'd be better than that.

 

2. Our team:

 

I've lost count of how much bad news we have endured lately. I only got so many fingers. It gives us a chance to see lesser stars shine.

 

1. Bottom non-Trump news story:

 

Newton discovers gravity.

 

Watch out for falling things. Besides rain, that is.

 

Anyway... Now we hopefully we can figure out which way is up.

Thanks for covering for me on such a short notice, sampleSizeOfOne. I'll be back for tomorrow's game thread and I'll be preparing for the return of a synchronous Strat-o-matic Twins game.

 

Anyways, let's go Twins!

Why isn’t Sano playing?

Here's what LaVelle tweeted. "Bauer. Plus he could use a break"

This is a good litmus test for Lynn. He pitched considerably better in May (lets be honest though, it couldn't get much worse than his April) but the three good games he turned in were against KC, Detroit, and the Suck Sox; all of which are admittedly awful teams. His starts against LA and STL were reminiscent of his April outings.

 

Lynn doesn't have to apologize for beating up on bad teams, but a decent/good, or hell even average performance against a team that isn't looking at a potential 90+ loss season would be a nice nudge in the direction that his signing wasn't a poor one.

The radar makes it look like we'll get a game in without many delays.

Thanks, 3/4, good to know. ;)

Sano needs a break??????????????????????????????

That was my first thought. And my second through infinity thoughts also. I don't understand this, he was only a couple thousand games, give or take 600 more short of Cal Ripkens streak. Now he has to start all over. :(

Sano is just back from injury. It's possible he's not fully recovered. Sure would be nice to have his bat, though.

If he is not fully recovered that is one thing.    I get giving the guy a break but balance that against having a 3 game stat line of 5-14 with 7 RBI.    If its me managing the team or if I am Sano I am thinking this is finally what we have been waiting for and ride it until an ofer and then give him a break.

Sano needing a break does seem weird

 

However, I saw he was like 2-24 with 11K's vs Bauer.

 

.........your point? :)

And down 3-0 to next hitter.

Because you jinxed it with your previous comment ... it's your fault. All of it.
