Game Thread, Twins @ Indians, 4:10 PM Arizona Time

I called this one. Belisle left town with all the company secrets.

[Nine of twelve]

Wow, even all-stars **** up every now and then.

I never knew until recently that the web site censored posters automatically. That was fun to type.

[Danchat]

Holy cow, once Cleveland's bullpen got involved, they're just falling apart. Why aren't we ripping them for not trading for relievers?

Yeah, but the censor is easy to defeat. Just put spaces between the letters.

Is Duensing available?

[howeda7]

 

*Kulber.

 

He's a nobody, didn't you read the intro??

No. Kulber sounds like a soft-tossing lefty who would be no-hitting us right now.

I think they should just leave well enough alone. Perhaps dump Miller.

[howeda7]

 

Is Duensing available?

Duensing is very solid for the Cubs.

Pretty sure you spelt Wade LeBlanc wrong

[Puckett34]

 

Duensing is very solid for the Cubs. 

He is.   He is/was always involved in trade discussions involving relievers on this board for many a years.

[howeda7]

Come on Gibby. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

C'mon, boys, pile on!

AGREED !!

 

[Han Joelo]

Turned Gameday on about 4th inning.  First thing I saw was a 1 in Minnesota's first, and a bunch of zeros. I couldn't believe it was happening again.  And the Gameday quickly refreshed, and it was suddenly 4-0.  

 

Maybe it was a wormhole in the space-time continuum, some sort of cosmic anomaly.  Perhaps Dr. Strange was involved.  At any rate, beating Kluber and the Indians would just be cruel.  A spoonful of frosting for a starving man.

I fully expect them to win at least 4 out of 6 vs Boston and Cleveland.   Probably 6 straight, because why not.     Only to get swept by Texas at home and swept by the White Sox on the road.

 

This is how we baseball

Also, I was reading the game log of plays, and got totally confused.  Finally I figured it out.  Dozier wasn't the leadoff hitter.

 

A rabbit just flew into my window, and my corn on the cob tasted like marshmallows.  Roasted marshmallows.  Perfectly roasted, golden-brown marshmallows; a slight crunchy crispiness on the outside, and airy sweetness inside.

[Blake]

 

Which means you can make basically any claim and nobody can dispute it.

Providing, of course, math is involved. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Nothing I love more than starters who go 7 innings. Except starters who go 8 and 9 innings...

[Blake]

I want Gibson to go Jack Morris in the Seventh Game of the Series on Molitor. 

 

No way, if I were Gibson, I'd want the bullpen to take over.

[Puckett34]

Gibby should be good for 2 more innings, no?  I prefer no ARE or RPE right now.

Sounds like your Lucky Charms have passed the "Best if eaten by" date. 

 

[USAFChief]

Kyle Gibson has been spectacularly above average this year.

You might want to call 911. I think you're having a stroke.

Stated perfectly!

[USAFChief]

As expected.

Your modesty is off the charts!

[USAFChief]

This young couple moved in next to us a couple months ago and they're so cute. Newlyweds! Every morning he kisses her goodbye at the front door, and every evening, he brings home flowers.

 

This morning Mrs Chief and I happened to be outside when he left, and we watched as he gave her a passionate kiss goodbye.

 

"Boy," she said to me, "I sure wish you would do that."

 

I looked at her and said "OK, but do you think she'll go for it?"

See?

You'll be sorry if you keep spilling all of our secrets!

Long ago when my children were in pre-school, they would bring home a large paper cut out of a person called Flat Stanley.  They would bring Flat Stanley home,  and take him along on family activities and then go back to pre-school with the stories of what Flat Stanley did when he was with us.  I hadn't thought about Flat Stanley for decades until I started watching Our Fair Team on the teevee and seeing Gibby walk off the mound.  He is flat.  This has nothing  to do with his pitching or his effectivenes  He is flat.  That is all.
