Game Thread: Twins @ Red Sox, 6:10 PM, 7/27/18

[ashbury]

My prediction: Twins get no-hit by Sale tonight. Everything lining up perfectly for him.

(P.S. Hope I’m wrong!!)

Eddie Rosario sends his regards.

[USAFChief]

 

Wilson and Mauer , only bench players tonight,

Mauer takes the night off. 

 

Against Sale.

 

What a trooper.

[BoofBonser]

Wish the Twins would cut Morrison

No value

where is that? Never been to Fenway.

 

One of my good friends is there, or was last night. Must not be much city councilin' work to do in SLP in July....

 

They close off Yawkey Way (Jersey Street) during the game, and once you're through the turnstile you can enjoy street vendors at ballpark prices.

BTW, we should all be celebrating. My oldest son just got his first "real" job. Makes waaaaaay more than I did starting my third job!

 

One down, one to go.

...So, today Chris Sale faces Lance Lynn....
 

 

My son referred to Sale-Lynn as the Christopher Cross matchup:

Wait at least until he makes an out?

Eddie Rosario sends his regards.

He's very regardful that way. I hope Eddie keeps up his good manners.

I predict Escobar signs a 2 or 3 year deal with MN in the off season.

Now I've done it twice! Inconceivable.

I've got a five-hour drive in front of me, so I'm going to quit posting and Ride Like the Wind. 

[Monkeypaws]

Holy cow, Torii's goofiness is growing on me in this series. Meaningless, inane, I totally relate.

I do not think that word means what you think it means...

 

(sorry, kneejerk response...)

 

I hate waiting.

I remember the good old game thread days...I'd get All caught up in the reverie, every word a symphony.

And I am 100% in disagreement with this. The more I hear Torii in the booth, the more I hate him as a broadcaster. 

 

Morneau, on the other hand, I would be happy to see as the new full time color guy whenever Bert hangs it up.

I loved Morneau as a player but as a broadcaster, he sounds to me like he's passing a kidney stone.

Reverie is also a town on the North Shore, not far from Lynn.

 

There is an autobody shop there by the name of wreck-o-mended.

 

One of my favorite names ever.

It seemed like he's been getting a little less tense each appearance, but I can definitely agree that he was a little wooden to start things. The insight he provides is a lot more interesting to me than anything Torii has to say though, and he doesn't stutter 400 times and go off on 10 minute tangents all the time like Smalley.

concur.

If Lynn can just keep putting up zeros, we can't lose.

At least not until we go to the pen.

I meant forever. To infinity.

 

Because Sale.

And Detroit takes a 2-0 lead against Cleveland on back to back doubles by Castellanos and Goodrum

Initially, I really carped about Mr. Smalley, but, I admit, the man has grown on me.

 

I like Torrii simply because he's such a free spirit but, only in small doses.
