Game Thread: Twins vs. Yankees 9/11 @ 7:10 PM CT

[David HK]

 

Duffey is the opener tonight, which sounds like a recipe to start the 2nd inning down 7-0.

5 BURNING questions:

- Most overrated fast-casual restaurant?

- Decorative pillows on the bed... Your thoughts?

- Best furniture to take a nap on?

- Who has the best hair in baseball?

- Real or fake Christmas tree?

9/11/2001 a day we will never forget.

only a single. pffft.

[David HK]

 

is 10 enough!?!?!

No lead is safe.

 

Don't stop now, boys.™

Per radio guys, all five of Mauer's grand slams have come with two strikes. Don't know if that's significant or anything, but it sounds kinda interesting.

 

Also, three were on full counts.

FIVE MORE OUTS, FOLKS

FIVE MORE OUTS, FOLKS

That's not the trick. We'll get five more outs.

 

The trick is five more outs before 5 more runs.

[LaBombo]

 

That reminds me. I went on Amazon earlier today and ordered a chicken and an egg. 

 

Mrs Chief and I have a wager on which one comes first.

 

"Thank you for your recent purchase of EGG and CHICKEN.  You may also be interested in these other Amazon items":

Quick...somebody put wheels on that bike Belisle is peddling!!

[Aggies7]

20 pitches, that’s all it took for Taylor to get 6 outs. I’m stunned

[snepp]

Ya know, this Rodgers kid might be a keeper.

I do not like green eggs and ham.

[David HK]

Rogers finishing the season nicely.

 

OMG, that means the Yankees are waiting til the 9th to break our hearts.

 

Again.

[Blake]

Wait, wut? 3 more outs to go?

[USAFChief]

 

Everybody sing along now:

With some insurance runs I think we might still win this.

[LaBombo]

 

Per radio guys, all five of Mauer's grand slams....

 

So that's at least five times that we know when Mauer has batted with the bases loaded and hasn't grounded out to second.

[Aggies7]

We still have a chance to score 10 more

[mikeee]

pull my finger

[IndianaTwin]

 

Also, all five were with the bases loaded.

 

He's also totaled an amazing 20 RBIs on those five ABs, with a 5.000 OPS.

No.

Yes.

Tommy Lasorda

 

- Real or fake Christmas tree?

 

Fake

//hangs head in shame

 

9/11/2001 a day we will never forget.

 

Indeed.

I pegged you as a Christmas tree purist, Chief. Even assumed you made it a family event like the Griswold's....

[glunn]

That sounds like it might be enough.

[LaBombo]

 

uh, sorry, no.

 

...

 

I do not like green eggs and ham.

 

I would not eat them in a rout, or with the outcome still in doubt...

 

I would not in a rain delay, or back end of a double play.

 

Not in a bases loaded jam, I will not eat them Sam I Am!!!

Quick...somebody put wheels on that bike Belisle is peddling!!

What, you want Belisle to make it into the game?

[USAFChief]

Sans the tree, it's very much like the Griswalds.

 

Pass the tylenol.

Yes.

 

The Saints game.

That’s a moiré.

 

[Aggies7]

The sun has been out for 5 minutes in the past week here.

 

There’s no joke involved, I just wanted to pass this depressing info along

[Blake]

 

Yes.

 

The Saints game.

Hildenburger is in I see. I thought for sure Molitor was going to punk us and put in Belisle.
