Game Thread: Twins @ Royals, 6/4 - 7:10pm

[ashbury]

And one up, one on. Big inning coming up.

 

Except for Plouffe being out and Carroll in his place, this is kind of the A-team starting lineup Gardy's put out there. (Modulo any disagreements about how "A-team" and certain individuals belong together in concept.)

[Riverbrian]

I gotta admit... For an older stadium... The Royals still have one of the most beautiful parks in all the land.

[ashbury]

Leadoff Walks for Twins hitters... I fully support them

 

Approves:

And one up, one on. Big inning coming up.

 

...or not.

[Riverbrian]

Ok... Here come the Deduno... What is he gonna bring us tonight... I can't wait... It's like a wrapped gift and you have no idea what is in it.

[Riverbrian]

...or not.

 

Its Ok... You just not telekinetic yet.

[ashbury]

Has anyone noticed that Mauer is on pace for about 150 strikeouts this year?

 

/ answer - yes, pretty much every blogger in the universe...

Except when you shake it there's this sound of breaking glass inside.

And then Billy Joel breaks into "You May be Right".

[LaBombo]

Dick noted that everyone in KC is wondering where Eric Hosmer's power went. My guess: same place as Justin Morneau's...

How about bring back Matt Garza!

 

We can have two Kevin Correia's for his price. Pass.

I had a Star Wars lunchbox thermos that became like that. Stopped using it a few weeks later.

[big dog]

Well, the glass cracked a little in that inning, but I think the present is still intact.

I spotted the photo before I read the words, and assumed this would be in further comment about Deduno.

[ashbury]

And then Billy Joel breaks into "You May be Right".

 

"But it just may be Deduno that you're lookin' for...."

Just in time. Rust makes the milk taste bad.

[LaBombo]

"But it just may be Deduno that you're lookin' for...."

i... just dotted. Or not. Depends.

I had a Chico and the Man Lunch Box.

[ashbury]

Doumit walks to lead off the inning. This should be big.

[Riverbrian]

Where's Chief... I need to ask him if Dozier should bunt here.

[ashbury]

Jetsons.

[Riverbrian]

Jetsons.

 

Jack Albertson kicks Elroy's Butt.

No.

 

Next?

[Riverbrian]

Dozier is in my Dog House now.

[ashbury]

Jack Albertson kicks Elroy's Butt.

 

Jane Jetson >> Della Reese

[big dog]

Jetsons.

 

Charlie Brown.

[Guest USAFChief]

Did Dick just say "infield fly called on this foul ball..."?

[Riverbrian]

Two walks followed by Two Pop Ups... I feel the need to write a strongly worded letter to the Twins.

[ashbury]

Dozier is in my Dog House now.

 

Aaron is sniffing Dozier's butt and looking for a place to lie down there too.

[Guest USAFChief]

Charlie Brown.

Miss February.
