GAME THREAD 8/31: Twins vs. White Sox 7:10 CT

[operation mindcrime]

Did Cave make a good fielding play?

Yeah he made a diving catch to end the inning which saved a run!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

How about a patented 4 or 5 run Twins inning early in the game?

Do we hold the patent?

 

Or would we be charged with infringement?

[operation mindcrime]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bighat]

WE WILL TAKE IT.

Why did Rosie slide there? Could he have scored....certainly?

Seems like perhaps he didn't pick up the third base coach and thought there was a throw coming? I dunno. Luckily, it didn't matter!

[LVTwinsfan]

Haha

[Danchat]

Finally, a multi-run inning! For some reason we hit well against Giolito, but not against mediocre lefties!

 

Also, Chicago's defense looks just as bad as it was Opening Day.

[stringer bell]

Yes!

[SS MagicMark]

Cue the circus music!

[twinbythebay]

Looks like the Sox are in a giving mood tonight! Let's take what we can get...

[stringer bell]

Get one more!

[LVTwinsfan]

Twins are getting rewarded for making Giolito

work

[bighat]

Cave gotta move that guy over there to 3rd base with nobody outs. Poor AB, now batting .190-ish.

[Nine of twelve]

Keep it going guys, we have to win these games. We have to get into the playoffs. We have to win the Golden Asterisk trophy. Or not. Whatever. But still play well. I like it when we play well.

yep and it cost the Twins a run

[operation mindcrime]

This White Sox defense is pretty good!

[SS MagicMark]

Sox need to bring in a relief defense.

[Nine of twelve]

Giolito looked like Oswaldo Arcia or Delmon Young on that one.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hmmm... Baseball!

[LVTwinsfan]

I like it when we play well.

me too, part of being a Twins fan

[twinbythebay]

Jeffers put a nice charge into that ball, and on an 0-2 swing, no less. He'll get his first extra-base hit one of these days...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh well.

 

Only 3 so patents seem to be respect.

 

Unless of course Ringling Bros. go after the Sox.

[LVTwinsfan]

Chicago (bad news) Bears

[Diesel]

Sano had a nice hit, and the Sox made a few mistakes. I’ll take it

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Running an errand.

 

Keep it going while i am out.

[twinbythebay]

I think Polanco might have me more worried than any other Twins hitter right now... 2 Ks tonight already, and his only saving grace this season has been his ability to at least make contact.

[operation mindcrime]

What's with all this grunting? Did we trade for Serena Williams or something?

[operation mindcrime]

Cave gotta move that guy over there to 3rd base with nobody outs. Poor AB, now batting .190-ish.

We should've traded him today for a bag of chicken drummies!

[LVTwinsfan]

Hill did a good job that inning too

[operation mindcrime]

Nice pitching Hill!!!!!
