Game Thread: White Sox @ Twins 6/6 @ 5:10 pm PT (7:10pm CT)

4 out of 5 dentists recommend it.

I thought I saw recently that flossing has been said to be pointless.

 

The actual act, not the dance.

How many silent treatments do you get in a week on average?

That's a bad thing?

[gil4]

 

I forgot to say, as Mrs Chief and I were getting ready to go out to dinner tonight, she kind of caught me by surprise. She was standing in front of the mirror, looking at herself, and she turned to me and said, "Honey, I look fat, and old. I need you to say something nice about me."

 

Well, like I said, I was kind of caught off guard. At a loss for words. "Well, your eyesight is as good as ever, honey!" was the best I could come up with.

I thought we sent your jokes back down to Rochester after the doubleheader yesterday. 

(That one was pretty darned funny, but I will probably end up sharing it with my wife and she won't find it funny at all.)

[TwinsCD]

TWO HANDS TURKEY!!!

[USAFChief]

 

1. But it lasts the whole week.

ftfy.

 

Don't overexplain the joke.

But, if you get the silent treatment, worth it, right?

[Aggies7]

God almighty

[USAFChief]

A little more chalant, Eddie, if you please.

She has to take some time off to nag, doesn't she?

[Danchat]

I try to avoid hyperbole but the Twins resemble a little league team today. Far too many gaffes for a major league team.

Neither did Mrs Chief.

Gladden: “If they don’t score, it’s not a costly error.”

A not uncommon trait during the Molitor years, if you ask me.

Willians Astudillo played 3B today for the Rochester Red Wings, he seems like a Escobar type of player.

[Danchat]

I have to agree. Even with all the success last year, I was still very unsatisfied with Molitor as the coach. I know this is a young team but Molitor seems to have little control of the players. Also predictably bad with the bullpen moves (and I know you are always all over him for keeping starters in too late). The one thing I like more about 2018 Molitor is that he's cut down on the bunts.

I think we need either an "agree" or a "true" button because it just doesn't seem right to like that comment.

[USAFChief]

SEE?  

 

Case closed.

I figured there was a chance that anyone watching this game was drunk and/or stupid.

concur.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Gladden: “If they don’t score, it’s not a costly error.”

Gee, I guess it wasn’t costly then. Other than that Hildenberger had to face two extra batters, leaving him less available for tomorrow, and the lineup turns over.

 

Sorry, but errors are pretty much always costly to some degree.

[Squirrel]

Yes.

 

I’m not watching.

Especially after what should have been a “series to build on”. To take 3 of 4from the division leader and then lay a dud like this, it happens a lot it seems.

[Aggies7]

Will miguel sano ever stop swinging at that pitch? Ever?

[USAFChief]

See, I figure there's a chance that someone watching this game ISN'T drunk or stupid.

 

I'm an optimist, if nothing else.

I remember hearing about that. I think the ADA announced they were dropping the recommendation because the studies hadn't actually been done to confirm the benefit. I assumed it was so obviously a good practice that he studies weren't needed.  

 

It's like telling kids "don't put your hand on the hot stove or you will get burned." 

"I'm not sure I believe you, dad. Have the double-blind studies been done to verify that" 

"Fine, I'm dropping my recommendation."

 

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sano struck out swinging? How could this be?

 

Hopefully Grossman can improve upon that...

[USAFChief]

I am virulantly opposed to a robot strike zone.

 

C B Buckner makes it hard, but I persevere.

[Blake]

I think Grossman was a bit hopeless with that AB..

[gil4]

That's not necessarily an either/or situation. Some can do both at the same time. (For the record, I'm not drunk.)

[Blake]

I'm out. I'll check the game score when I do the thread tomorrow.

 

Salud!

Slanche!

Feliz Navidad!
