Game Thread: Twins @ Red Sox, 5/8 - 6:00pm

[Ultima Ratio]

We need to get an OUT here. Don't let the Sox back in.

You're thinking we need to get Perkins up?

 

Got to close the door.

---I think I do remember that game. If I remember correctly (which I may well not), Blackburn played a huge role in coughing up that lead. Wasn't that also the game we got hosed big time when Cuddyer was called out at home when he was safe and it wasn't even close, I think he his foot has slid all the way across the plate before he was tagged?

 

I think we are remembering the same game. I am still bitter about that one.

Remember that game in Oakland years ago when the Twins were up by more than 10 and ended up losing?

I do. Vividly. My sons and I listened to the game on the way home from a road trip to Dallas to catch the Twins-Rangers. Cuddy "out" at home to end the game.

Great link snepp. That was the game I was thinking of.

[ashbury]

i wasn't thinking... I'm off my game as well... I should have said that I'm like your George Burns.

 

Say Goodnight Ashbury!

 

Goodnight Ashbury.

Perkins looks Amish...

[Riverbrian]

Anybody else think Morneau can't stay on a ball to save his life. He's been so pull-happy this year. He's trying to hit balls on the outside corner to RF.

 

I remember when teams wouldn't dream putting a shift on because he went the opposite way a lot.

[glunn]

Great win!

30 games and .500 Unbelievable

Great link snepp. That was the game I was thinking of.

 

You know, a walk-off loss after a lead of that magnitude would still be better than the Twins having to play two more innings after choking.

Thanks for getting rid of scary guy Ashbury. She is much nicer, though I prefer the pole vaulter.

[ashbury]

Great win!

Did I mention that I found some other photos of her, topless? Link

I'm not so sure that Perkins actually looks Amish... But... Plus one for the line anyway.

Why were you topless while looking for other photos of her?

Yep, you're right. Cuddy was trying to score from second on a wild pitch because "there's a lot of foul territory in Oakland".

I bet you do, I bet you do, wink wink, nudge nudge.

[ashbury]

Just how I roll, chez Ashbury.

[TNTwinsFan]

Its the lack of a mustache. Nice way to slam the door shut. Great game for us and I hope we can take it into tomorrow.

[ashbury]

Hah, the Yahoo box score currently has Hernandez as the winning pitcher.

I can't believe I watched that whole video. You are a cruel cruel man.

I think Perkins look more Methernithian.

[one_eyed_jack]

Great link snepp. That was the game I was thinking of.

 

---How do you like that, my memory is not totally gone yet. That was one of the most painful non-Yankee losses in recent memory.

 

But still kinda fun to look at the box - monster game for Morneau there. Can't forget how good he was in those days . Hard not to wonder what could have been had he been able to stay healthy.

[TNTwinsFan]

Touché Riverbrian......touché......

[ashbury]

I think Perkins look more Methernithian.

 

No question. I mean, sheesh.

It's a MLB trend--Perk, Gomes, Napoli.

[TNTwinsFan]

I think its the next big thing sweeping Hollywood AND the MLB!

If I were still doing game avatars I might go seek her out.

Anytime a link from anyone promises something too good to be true, this video is a possibility. (At least, back in 2007.) I think this is the first time I rickrolled here, and I hope I can keep my promise it'll be the last. But no promises, about my promises.
