TBD* knows how to twirl a game.

Nothing like swinging at a nondeterministic pitch. Mr. Tompkins** approves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

* How gleefully may i laugh if the D stands for Dobnak?

 

** Forgive me for throwing about specific esoteric references as if they were common knowledge...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr_Tompkins and there seem to be more media representations of him each time i look him up.

Twins have rightly beaten up on the Sox so far this season. They have to continue. A team thats already 40 under .500 can't steal games from a contender who just took 2 of 3 from arguably the hottest team in the AL over the past several weeks.

Can't let up. Each win counts as one win, no matter who its against.

He's now listed as tonight's probable pitcher on MLB.com.

He's back on the roster, so I'd bet yes.

I Saw them in RC SD about 47 years ago.  AC/DC opened and crushed them.  Bon Scott AC/DC 3 rows back

[big dog]

AC/DC and Aerosmith would have been a heckuva double bill. Especially with Bon Scott.

That's about the best lineup this team can put up right now. Maybe I'd switch Santana for Larnach but nitpicking.

There is simply no comparison between Aerosmith, and AC/DC with Bon. Ronald Belford (Bon) Scott was the bomb! I saw them back in the late 70's. Wish I could remember it! Too many brain cells gone now. I still crank up all their stuff regularly even now as a fossil. Only their music up to Highway to Hell...after that fuggettaboutit.  

[MMMordabito]

Today's White Sox starters have been worth a collective -3.1 bWAR (mostly thanks to Maldonado and Benintendi).  Still just 0.8 bWAR without them.  

C'mon, Twins.  This is where you beat the livin' tar out of a team.

My favorite AC/DC Album:

I have a classic story about AC/DC. A girl I worked with attended their concert in Sioux Falls. After the show she and her friends wound up on their bus partying. The next morning she called our boss, was honest and said she was in Minneapolis waiting for a ride home. My boss came out of his office and asked ‘What the hell is a AC/DC?

I think the question is which emotional force will lead them, apathy or beer? I'm counting on apathy.

Hey!

 

[mrtwinsfan]

Cant decide which Twin should be called Iron Man, Castro  or Carlos, both well deserving for different reasons,  and no other Twin needs to be on the all-star roster, i think Jax or Willi have cases , Rather see Willi with some rest, , And Really the game is not important other than peoples Heads getting to big, Go Twins

[Patzky]

Sox pulled Pham. Wonder if he's getting traded?

[cmoss84]

Sorry if I've missed this. Why is Larnach our #3 hitter so often???

So don't give Robert anything juicy, and let the other Eight Men get themselves Out.
