Game Thread: Twins @ Brewers, 5/28 - 7:10pm

[gil4]

I just got back from a meeting and am thrilled that the game is still on!

 

You couldn't have wrapped up the meeting 45 minutes ago, before the blown save?

[Bark's Lounge]

We are all basking in the twilight on the eve of the return of the chosen son. We need to win this one. Tomorrow a streak of unknown proportions will begin.

[MichiganTwins]

Good start to the inning

[twinsnorth49]

C'mon kid, get 'er done eh?

[glunn]

I hate to point out the obvious... Wear the Lucky Shirt to the meeting.

 

Lucky shirt is 1987 World Series shirt that a secretary bought used for me about 10 years ago. I have to keep it hidden to prevent wife from tossing it. And I stopped washing it about 2 years ago because it is very fragile. Wearing it to a meeting with the mayor (and other members of the Beverly Hills "Sunshine" task force) would not be appropriate.

[Riverbrian]

Not good baserunning in that instance. I wonder what Gardy said to him.

[glunn]

Sorry. But now I am wearing the lucky damn shirt -- let's win this now.

[twinsnorth49]

The Beverly Hills, what..?

[LaBombo]

I was at a meeting.

Shaky excuse, but we forgive... this time.

[glunn]

The Beverly Hills, what..?

 

I am civic minded.

You don't give Mayors and the fine folks of Beverly Hills enough credit.

 

Just simply tell them the story you just told us. Beverly Hills tolerated the Clampetts. Your shirt should be no problem.

[ashbury]

Mauer's about due for a hit tonight, wouldn't we say?

[Riverbrian]

The Beverly Hills, what..?

 

Sunshine Task Force.

 

Its tough for us in North Dakota and Manitoba to understand. But in Beverly Hills they have a task force in place to secure sunshine all year long.

 

it could be torrential flooding in Compton... Rodeo Drive... Bone dry.

I hate to break this to you, but the Beverly Hillbillies was not a documentary.

[nicksaviking]

Isn't California full of hippies who go around wearing unwashed t-shirts?

[MichiganTwins]

Would Carrol have been thrown out at first?

Which is why you wear it as an undershirt. Sheesh. Normally I get a little coin for brilliant consults like this, but I'll work pro bono when a Twins game against cheese farmers is on the line...

[SydneyTwinsFan]

Swarzak's only thrown 15 pitches. Couldn't he have bunted Florimon over? Seems like a waste of Herrman's AB

[snepp]

Mauer's about due for a hit tonight, wouldn't we say?

 

Or making contact for that matter.

[glunn]

If we lose tonight, I am washing the shirt.

[B Richard]

I appreciate Mauer's track record with 2 outs/RISP but I am deeply upset by that K

Shirley you jest.

Says you..

[Riverbrian]

Probably not but you can't bet against Segura.

 

Its a simple rule in Baseball... Ball hit toward Third Base... Stay on 2nd.

The shirt is 26 years old and was already falling apart when I got it. It does not have many uses left. And I cannot wear it if wife is around, because she will want to throw it away.

I'm from Bugtussle.

Most women think the Three Stooges shorts are documentaries about men.

[Pius Jefferson]

Shirley you jest.

 

He does jest and don't call him Shirley.

[jokin]

Or making contact for that matter.

 

I believe the master of graphs, himself, can create one reflecting Mauer's rather curious on-again, off again contact rates this year.

[glunn]

Probably not but you can't bet against Segura.

Milwaukee broadcast crew commented on the bad baserunning and felt that there was no play at first.
