Game Thread: Twins @ Rays, 7/9 - 6:10pm

[CairoCrown]

Nice commentary. Thanks. How does Gibson look? Dominant?

Nothing hit hard. He's working fairly quickly too.

I hit "submit" a split second before that hard grounder for a single. Shouldna known better.

[buckninetyone]

Woo-hoo, Mark from Grand Forks, ND with the car soup question.

 

"what are the best cars for soup?"

[ashbury]

Not sure why but I just love saying "Jose Lobaton"

 

Thanks for putting the hex on Gibson, there.

[CairoCrown]

"what are the best cars for soup?"

Rice-burners?

[diehardtwinsfan]

Now I lay me down to watch

A Twins game that they do not botch.

If I should die before they win,

I pray the Lord to kick their shins.

Amen.

 

This losing streak is clearly your fault. Break out a better avatar and maybe they will reward you.

[big dog]

Strike 'em out, throw 'em out DP.

[CairoCrown]

Strike-em-out, throw-em-out double play with Joe having to throw over the batter falling across the plate.

[iastfan112]

Seeing Gibson pitch and reading Parker article earlier reminded me about some things Common said late last week: "Everyone was talking about Plouffe and Parmelee the same way as Buxton and Sano and we know how they turned out"(Ignoring the fact Plouffe as been at least decent). "Clearly the league has figured Gibson out" "Buxton is a showboat, he could have easily made that catch without diving"(referring to the catch from the televised game). "The bullpen is terrible".

I live out of the Minneapolis radio market, is he really as clueless as he seemed or is it some sort of shtick/persona?

Let's see... Vipers, Thunderbirds, Stingrays, Rams, Mustangs, Jaguars, Impalas, Cougars, Broncos and Beetles have protein.

Yeah, Dick said he thought the Twins might get a call on batter's interference if the runner were safe. Didn't look like the home plate ump called it right away, though I don't know if they make that call immediately.

[diehardtwinsfan]

That was a shout out to diehard in case anyone missed the reference

 

I unfortunately don't seem to have any sort of witty response.

My main computer is in the shop and I am limping along on this old backup machine. Just got the virtual memory rejiggered so it doesn't freeze up on every TD ad. It may be a while before I can attempt something as complex as an avatar.

Like it stops any of us.

[B Richard]

Hey Joe... where you goin with that gun for an arm

[big dog]

Beetles are crunchy without requiring major straining. Plus they fit in a smaller pot.

Much too serious a question for the game thread!

 

We prefer questions like... Who was the first person to walk up to a cow and say I'm thirsty... I wonder if she'll mind?.

[CairoCrown]

"what are the best cars for soup?"

Stew-de-baker?

 

 

 

​I'll see myself out.

a trs-80?

[ashbury]

Citrucel has that same effect on me.

[ashbury]

a trs-80?

 

I can only dream of such luxury.

[diehardtwinsfan]

I like how John McClane keeps saving bigger things. Skyscraper -> Airport -> New York City -> 'Murica -> The World (I'm assuming. Haven't actually seen Die Hard 5 yet. Russia?)

 

Rumor has it that Die Hard 5 will feature aliens, and he won't need a world war 2 battleship to do it.

[ashbury]

Who was the first person to walk up to a cow and say I'm thirsty... I wonder if she'll mind?.

 

Probably right after seeing what happened to the guy who asked that of the bull.

[diehardtwinsfan]

i'd like to get a ribbon for participating with a woman, but this leprosy.

 

I haven't heard of the leprosy STD, but I have to think that has to be one of the worst.

[buckninetyone]

wow. just...just... eichmann was charged for less.

[ashbury]

Avoid, definitely. If she offers you a Hansen's job, say no thanks.

Sounds like a rip off of the last Indiana Jones movie.

I'm pretty sure that puns fall well short of the Holocaust in terms of outrages against humanity.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Wow, you use that line too? When he was very young, our younger son was very afraid of clowns - and I found that that joke did *not* improve his disposition in such situations.

 

I had a coworker afraid of clowns. When he was away on a Hawaiian vacation, I replaced all the pictures of his hot wife and hot sisters with images I found googling the phrase "scary clowns". It didn't change his disposition either, though he and his chair nearly went through the wall between his and my office.

Brock is going to hate me for this, but if it's a really old and slow machine I recommend using Firefox + the script block and adblocking extensions. Site performance (everywhere) will improve dramatically.
