Twins vs White Sox, 6/20 - 12:10pm

[Riverbrian]

Is there a stat for most solo home runs by a team?

 

Yes... Matter of fact... There is a probably a stat for most solo home runs by a team wearing blue on a Thursday in June following a night game with a team whose average height is less than 6 foot.

Well? We're waiting...

[Riverbrian]

I'm napping right now... You may not have known this but I have the ability to post in my sleep.

 

I'm telekinetic.

[IdahoPilgrim]

I know this is a bit premature, and it assume the absence of a Twins-typical 6th inning meltdown by a starter, but do you think we can get 7 full from Diamond today?

OK... June 25 1964... Thursday... Memorial Stadium Baltimore...

 

Oh shoot my Internet crashed... I'll have to look it up later... When it comes back.

They do seem to baby Diamond a little but if the Twins keep adding to the cushion. Gardy may give the pen a little break.

OK... Konerko... May have gotten the bullpen into go mode.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Man, when it goes bad, it goes bad quickly!

[Ultima Ratio]

Both those pitches were grooved up and middle. What the heck there Scotty?

[twinsnorth49]

Dunn definitely did....Jesus H!!!

[Cap'n Piranha]

I blame IdahoPilgrim. He jinxed Diamond AND put negativity into the universe at the same time.

Allow me to consult my crystal ball of hindsight...

 

 

...I'm going to have to go with a pretty resounding 'no' on that one.

[Riverbrian]

OK... Konerko... May have gotten the bullpen into go mode.

 

Dunn... May have gotten... The Bullpen Coach Cuellar to say on the phone...

 

"Yes Yes... They are up and loosening as fast as they can... Calling me again isn't going to help things... Swarzak is up... Relax... Unless you got a magic arm loosening pill... We are doing the best we can... Quit calling me every five seconds".

No kidding! There's missing and then there's that, how on earth do you figure you can get away with that crap to hitters like that?

[IdahoPilgrim]

Ooops! My bad.

 

[IdahoPilgrim]

Well, there goes Scotty's "quality start." Maybe they should change the stat just for the Twins - make it 5 innings instead of 6.

[twinsnorth49]

Atta way Swarzie!

[snepp]

That pitch froze me.

[Riverbrian]

Ooops! My bad.

 

 

Idaho... We've talked about the power of your jinxes before... Haven't we?

[TwinVike61]

Just like last night, this last place team doesn't know they should just give up when they're down by five runs. sheesh!

[IdahoPilgrim]

Actually I smell a walk.

[snepp]

Breathing room.
