Buchholz is 6-0 against Vance Worley who is 0-4. Sure looks like a potential problem for our Twins tonight.

 

However... Buchholz is not going to finish the season 25-0... He has to lose sometime... Worley is not going to finish the season 0-20... He has to win sometime.

 

That potential problem based on the records of the starting pitchers tonight is solved.

 

Worley is due for a win and Buchholz is due for a loss.

 

This one is ours... Now we get to watch the details of how it happens.

I've always believed that if you don't seek to reach beyond what you think is possible, then you will never do anything of value. I'll pick the Twins to win 3 out of 4 this series.

 

Of course, if they don't, I'll deny I ever made this post.

Buchholz is not going to finish the season 25-0

 

True. The season is fickle and Lady Luck does not smile down on the talented every time.

 

Worley is not going to finish the season 0-20

 

True. Pitchers get removed from the rotation long before that.

You had the option of deleting in that situation, until I posted this reply. Now you need an admin for cover.

Not at all. I'll just deny it and ignore the physical evidence to the contrary. Politicians do it all the time, and it seems to work as they keep getting reelected.

[Riverbrian]

I'd like the entire Twins team to take the field tonight with arms looking like vintage Lester Heyes.

 

Arms gooped so thickly that they could catch fly balls with their forearms alone.

[snepp]

Shame they aren't at home, they could have run a suntan lotion promo. First 10,000 fans!

[GCTF]

Terry Felton would like a word with you.

[ashbury]

OK. But never underestimate the leverage a small bribe to an admin can provide.

[Mike Sixel]

Twins have their two best pitchers going, so I could see 2 wins......as for reaching for the stars to be more than you are, I'm not sure that works if you are a fan and not a participant in the event, but let's hope your post has the intended effect, assuming you made any such post.....

[Brock Beauchamp]

I really have nothing to say, I just want to take the Twins Daily post count lead from Seth.

Chief approves of this post.

We are going to play Game 1 three times?

We should be good at it by Friday.

Now I'm going to leave it that way just to spite you.

[ashbury]

And yet you say it so well, 3935 times and counting.

It's good to have goals in life.

[Riverbrian]

I'd just be happy to stay in front of Ashbury and Chief in Post Count... It's gonna be hard and a lot of work.

 

Catching Seth and Brock... It just can't happen... I can't even dream.

[Riverbrian]

Mauer should have a wall like that at home. He'd leave a lot of marks on it.

[Riverbrian]

I'd be happy if two out of every three batters hit the wall.

[Riverbrian]

Buchholz ain't so tough when the world is looking for foreign substances.

[IdahoPilgrim]

I'd be happy if two out of every three batters hit the wall.

 

Can we do it every other half innings so that it's only Twins?

[ashbury]

Chief will never catch up because he thinks before he posts. I on the other hand can give you a good run for the money.

[Guest USAFChief]

Chief approves of this post.

Generally, I'm all about quality, not quantity, but in the case of this board, I gotta go with what I can achieve.

[ashbury]

I'd be happy if two out of every three batters hit the wall.

 

So far this game has addressed my concerns about this team being mediocre on table-setting and downright poor on power.

[ashbury]

Is Buchholz one of those pitchers who announcers say you'd better get to early, or else you won't at all?

[Riverbrian]

Buchholz ain't fooling anyone. Good Twins swings so far tonight.

[ashbury]

Table's set for Arcia-zie. Crossing fingers...

[Riverbrian]

I have Arenado and Middlebrooks on my Fantasy team... Plouffe is available on waivers. I have room for two 3B.

 

Advice?
