Mmmm... gelato!

Is this complementing or replacing the blizzard fad?

[notoriousgod71]

Are we guessing this is going to start on FS2 since the other game hasn't even started yet?

That's a great debated topic. Majority vote required

How does admission work. I mean what happens if 50,000 show up?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And someone mentioned Taco John's had released their trademark on "taco tuesday" earlier this summer.

Does that mean we can also use "oppo taco tuesday"?

You had to get a ticket. They were free but still had to get one.

👍 Thanks. I'll be there for games 3 and 4. But was considering the watch party. I wasn't sure how it worked

Get on Verlander early.  Make him throw pitches.  Him getting in an early groove with the crowd behind him is NOT something the Twins can afford to do.

Wouldn't there be an i?

 

Or did it get contracted out?

 

Where is metrodome lease when you need it?

Verlander - Ober

Is not that five syllables?

One could write haiku...

LG, they're an electronics brand right. Maybe trying to hype up their product. Formally LG, now LFG.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Let's show Houston they're not who they used to be and their reign in the AL is ober. Take game one, and let's go from there.

Close. 

"Longing for Gallo."

I hate waiting for game time. Drives me crazy. So I decided to take the grandkids to thus brand new zoo this morning here in Tucson. 

Turns out "brand new" is an understatement. Complete disappointment is what it was. They only have one animal. A dog.

Yup....it was a shih tzu.

Did it involve climbing over fallen trees?

Team blizzard.

Pretty nervous about Ober against that Astros loaded lineup today.  That short porch and Ober being a fly ball style pitcher could get ugly.

I don’t like Polanco in the 2 hole.  I’d rather have Correa in there in there.

I just need to remind myself that we just need one of the first two in Houston.  A loss today isn’t the end of the world.

Always liked Verlander, but today I'd LIKE him to take an early shower!

Lots of people don't have MLB Network. Not ideal, but I just checked the fox sports website and there will be a stream there.

You can get unlimited free previews if you use an incognito tab and then close/reopen, in case the Rangers/O's goes to extras or something.

This game thread is hitting its stride early

“LFG” is obviously Lefties for Gardy, it’s the Jacque Jones platoon fan club.
