Game Thread: Twins @ Red Sox, 5/7 6:00pm

[big dog]

They showed a clip of Gardy talking to Hicks. Guess who won? Hicks is sitting quietly on the bench by himself.

[glunn]

Great, close enough that Gardy will still burn Perkins.

 

You seem to be pessimistic tonight my friend. I think that this is a night to enjoy the win. Drink it in. Think about a world where both Ginger and Mary Ann are available to celebrate the victory in any way you desire.

 

I anguish at every loss, but a win like this one is euphoric.

I seem to recall back in 2009 Casilla was doing horribly for the first month and he popped a pitch up and didn't make any effort to go to 1st base early in a game. Gardy pulled him out of the lineup and he was shipped off to Rochester the next day.

[glunn]

For those of you not watching the Twins broadcast, Hicks nonchalanted that ball to center. Gardenhire started throwing things in the dugout. Should be an entertaining conversation in the dugout in a minute.

 

Great inning by Roenicke.

 

It seemed to me that Hicks wanted to avoid crashing into a infielder.

Is my PbP just running slow, or are you seriously trying to jinx them with a 6 run lead?

You didn't see the before and after photo. If you had, you'd view that world much, much differently.

[LaBombo]

Didn't see the play, but with Hicksie managing only two walks in the past 10 games (excluding tonight), it's looking more and more that only the Mastro injury is keeping Aaron in the majors.

I thought it was funny. Go Quakers and take those Brownists with you.

Methinks Gardy saw it differently.

Methinks youthinks right.

You are a gentleman of great Enlightenment, sir.

We won't be seeing Hicks for a week.

And Hicksie still hasn't trimmed his sideburns short enough for Gardy...

I refuse to acknowledge the existence of the after photo. But I can see how that would kill the buzz. Substitute John's blond goddess avatar.

[big dog]

After photos have no place in this debate. Fortunately, they don't affect the Betty vs. Wilma debate.

Oh crap.

[LaBombo]

That's why you only use Perk to collect saves...

I can resist anything but peer pressure.

Betty and Wilma gotta be what? 30,000 years old by now? I don't even wanna THINK about the after photos of those two.

[big dog]

That was really a great turn by Morneau. Let's hope Roenicke can hold it together here.

[ashbury]

I don't wanna think about the lady in your avatar either, but I have to, game after game.

[big dog]

Great win! Nice to see Diamond being Diamond.

[snepp]

Twins win!

For sure. I was slow to catch on that he might be pretty good, when they first got him.

[Jocko87]

I don't think I'm acquainted with your opinions of Gardy?

 

And with that I believe I've won the sarcasm contest for the evening. No one else even try.

 

See, you had it won and then had to go screw it up all in the same post. Don't be so afraid to offend.

[Riverbrian]

One day at a time. Keeping pace... Kinda...

 

It'll be interesting to hear what spills out of the Hicks tongue lashing in the post game. I'm not so sure it should spill out but it probably will

[Guest USAFChief]

One day at a time.

So we're back to the Phillips-Bertinelli debate?

Finally a man who knows how to celebrate. We need to find out her name so we can look for more pictures of her.

I feel sorry for TD members who have missed the past 2 game threads.
