Game Thread: Twins vs Yankees, 7/1 - 7:10pm

[Willihammer]

Joba Chamberlain still plays?

Baseball yes, Gynmastics no.

[Willihammer]

Float like a anvil, sting like a coffee table

[Gibby]

Ah so this is how we are going to screw this up.

[Beezer07]

Is Burton wearing down between this year and last? He's looked pretty rough the last month or so.

[Beezer07]

Oh good, we're not even gonna make them earn the win.

[CairoCrown]

I hate to be a fatalist, but why am I not surprised.

I don't think any of us are.

Why on earth Gardy always find a way to make a decision to lose against the Yankees? An army of lefties coming, he has Duensing warmed up, and he goes with Burton that is struggling, because he is the "designated" eight inning guy.

What is Gardy's WAR against the Yankees?

[TheLeviathan]

Burton needs to be out of this role for a bit until he works his way out of this funk. He's killing his trade value along with potential wins.

[Bark's Lounge]

Sad times. Sad times indeed.

I'd say it's a number below zero, but those don't exists.

Just for the record, lefties are OPSing only 10 points lower against Duensing than righties. Not your typical LOOGY, at least this year.

Hello. Orchestra on tour?

Is "uninspiring" a valid response?

[Bark's Lounge]

Hi from Monteagle, TN

 

Hello to you. Catch any Hillbillies... drink any moonshine?

[Willihammer]

Doumit cannot block a ball for the life of him. 3 wild pitches, a stolen base, 6 or 7 free runner advancements tonight.

 

edit: oh and a throwing error to 1b from Burton

[Squirrel]

Hello. Orchestra on tour?

Heh no. Road trip from hell. Flew down to Ft Myers last night. Got in my patents' car this morning and am on my way up to MN. Will pack the car full of things then drive it back down to Ft. Myers then back to Chicago on Sunday night.

 

I see the Twins are doing their usual for the yankees

Heck no. Do not want to play Deliverance with anyone here

Hi from Monteagle, TN

 

Hey, ChiTown -- on your way to Florida?

[Bark's Lounge]

Heck no. Do not want to play Deliverance with anyone here

 

Not there. Alabama is preferred.

[Squirrel]

Hey, ChiTown -- on your way to Florida?

Yes and no. Was already there but will be heading back again. All part of the 'relocate the parents' summer. This is the last big part of it for me

A/C is going to need an overhaul after that trip.

That is a lot of driving, especially with the 4th of July traffic.

[Squirrel]

Not there. Alabama is preferred.

Not sure about. Heard parts of West VA and Kentucky are pretty special too. I mean think about Kentucky's abbreviation a bit

[glunn]

Someone forgot to tell Parmelee that there is no hope of beating the Yankees.

[Squirrel]

Sigh. Glad I'm not watching this game. It looks so typical

[Beezer07]

Gardenslug is an IDIOT. Burton after the last game and then the hitters coming up?

 

Burton better be DFA after today......I think G-Slug already is.

 

Really? Gardenslug?

[Willihammer]

Sigh. Glad I'm not watching this game. It looks so typical

 

Squandering an early lead then being overpowered by a superior Yankees bullpen? Yep, it gets old. I'm going to bed.
