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

[ashbury]

P.J. Stands for "Phillip DeWayne"?

 

I've been wondering about that ever since they signed him.

[Kobs]

Good thing they avoided that double play, might not have gotten any more runs.

[snepp]

There are approximately 3.5 million differences.

 

1. Pelfrey makes a lot more money

2. ....

 

 

Oh, I get it now.

[ashbury]

He will be back in next inning. I would bet my 401k on it.

 

This is the high rollers room. The penny-ante area is right behind you.

[snepp]

No, no, no Gardy, we need to wait until he gives up 2 runs and loads the bases before making a move.

[ashbury]

I know we have more of a "mature" audience here, but does anyone else enjoy Parm's use of the Red Hot Chili Peppers in his walk up song?

 

Which song did he choose?

Really like the Peppers.

[ashbury]

Hey now.

 

No no, they weren't talking about you, just some gentlemen much younger.

[CairoCrown]

Which song did he choose?

I think it's Don't Stop.

3. Profit!!!!!

[IdahoPilgrim]

C'mon rain! Pour, baby, pour!

That's what I get for always defending Gardy for leaving his guys in too long.

[stringer bell]

All this talk about a sweep may have been a bit premature. BTW, no quality start for you, PJ Walters!

Two more innings. Don't panic, my brother.

[B Richard]

Which song did he choose?

 

He picked "Can't Stop" which is one of their more popular ones (still quite good).

 

I absolutely love the Peppers though. It's a shame Frusciante moved on but I'm thankful just to get as much great music from them as we did

[ashbury]

Since the discussion has included so much about kids, I'll be a Debby Downer and mention that in my search for a reason Phillip DeWayne is called P.J. I discovered he lost an infant daughter in 2010.

Yeah, I remember last year they did a story on that. That's why he draws her initials in the mound before a start. Kinda puts it all into perspective.

[Joe A. Preusser]

As someone who currently has an infant daughter that sounds like the worst thing in the world to me.

Yep. We been lucky. Don't know how one would cope.

[Kobs]

Robot umpires, please.

[BD57]

Cannot begin to imagine the pain of burying a child ....

[stringer bell]

BTW, we just witnessed a big reason why Morneau has so many RBI this month. The Hammer only has 25, and has received a lot of free passes with Mauer on base a high amount of the time.

Not to get too morbid, but my mom buried my dad and my brother and it was 1000% harder for her when my brother passed.

[Kobs]

Duensing doesn't get the lefty, so Gardy just leaves him out there. Odds that Braun comes up this inning with Burton sitting in the bullpen?

I don't think anyone in the world would take the under, on that bet.

Burton is UP!

[glunn]

I was thinking that the length of this game thread was gonna really delay Glunn's entrance tonight.

 

Too much catching up... He might not show til the 7th inning.

 

I had a 3 hour meeting that ended about 30 minutes ago. And I am now on page 4 of this thread, which has been hilarious so far.

[B Richard]

Hicks takes a walk... nice.

[kydoty]

Why do Dick and Bert feel they are obligated to keep reminding us that the Brewers are not the home team?

[Guest USAFChief]

I see where Hideki Matsui is going to sign a one-day contract with the Yankees for the purposes of retirement from big league ball.

 

I can see a scenario where the Yanks do it while the Twins are in town, he DHs for the game, and he goes 3 for 4 with a walk and a HR.
