Game Thread: Twins vs Brewers, 5/30 - 7:10pm

[BD57]

Anyone know why we're wearing road units at home & the Brewers are wearing home unis on the road?

[Joe A. Preusser]

"In the place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Morn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair!"

If that's not Carroll I don't know what is?

[IdahoPilgrim]

Dang that reads good... It'd make a fine book.

 

Nobody can compare to Papa Tolkien.

I don't know why this makes me laugh but I'm seriously crying.

I forgot how hot she was. Carroll and Bachman aren't bad either.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Either that, or we're talking about Bachmann again.

It made my eyes burn. Sadly, there's no image in the world that can cleanse the pallet of my mind.

the only thing I can come up with is:

 

Twas the Darkets Depths of Mordor... I met a girl so fair... But Gollum and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her.

You know what I hate?

when people are rude, you call em on it and they threaten to "rip your ****ing head off"....in front of a 4 1/2 year old no less....

I understand we're wearing throwbacks .... the Braves are Brewers, btw - don't understand why we're not wearing "Home" Saints unis.

Plant, Page, Bonham, Jones. Accept no substitutes.

Wow. Are you posting this from the game? I'd be looking for an usher myself.

I take it this means that "Minnesota nice" is really a fictional concept, or was he a Brewers fan, because I could get behind that.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Hey. There are some things that just aren't funny. Nobody messes with Zep.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Aaron Hicks with a higher OPS than Rickie Weeks.

[Riverbrian]

You know what I hate?..

 

when you lose your white friends in the snow?

[Joe A. Preusser]

You just Had to play the race card.

[a-wan]

What is that supposed to mean? Why compare those two?

[Joe A. Preusser]

Because no one else in the league has a lower OPS than Hicks, and we're trying to make him feel better. (I assume he reads these threads religiously...)

[ashbury]

when you lose your white friends in the snow?

 

The comedy stylings of Harriet Tubman?

[Riverbrian]

You just Had to play the race card.

 

It was the only color that went with snow... The joke wouldn't work with any other.

As long as we're touching on Led Zeppelin in this thread, let's try matching up Led Zep songs with Twins, past and present. I'll start:

 

Whole Lotta Love - Joe Mauer

Good Times Bad Times - Justin Morneau

Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - Delmon Young

Communication Breakdown - Ron Gardenhire

Ramble On - Ben Revere

Ten Years Gone - Kent Hrbek

In the Evening - Jamie Carroll

Dazed and Confused - the entire rotation

Nobody's Fault But Mine - Terry Ryan/Bill Smith

Simply "liking" this would not have been enough... well done sir

[IdahoPilgrim]

Cause Hicks won.
