Argh.

 

 

Can we play the Astros again?

[twinsnorth49]

Fugh!!

[LaBombo]

Argh.

 

 

Can we play the Astros again?

Next year, and every year after that until one of us wins the race to contraction...

[buckninetyone]

Argh.

 

 

Can we play the Astros again?

[glunn]

Anyone else playing Powerball tonight?

[Guest USAFChief]

I know it's a SSS, and I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin', but:

 

coming into tonight,

 

Aaron Hicks, Twins, 2013, .192/.259/.338

 

Chris Colabello, Twins, 2013, .185/.221/.323

Smells like runs.

yeah, but just with myself.

[Riverbrian]

I think it's highly possible that last play could have been thrown out 9-6-3 there.

 

I've seen that before. And it was legit.

 

Rope to right field ball caught one one hop... Throw to second for an out... A turn and runner out at first by a step.

My wheels ain't what they used to be.

Nice at bat by Colabello.

I can never figure out why people line up to buy tickets when the jackpot rises over 200 million.

 

Oh... It's over 200 million... Ok... Now it's worth the effort!!!

 

It's like 50 million isn't worth anyone's time.

[twinsnorth49]

Swinging the bat is occasionally a good thing....just sayin'.

[Riverbrian]

The Desert will rust em

I justify this based on risk-reward. Yes, that's not entirely logical, but it keeps my gambling to a minimum. And my fantasies are more expansive when the prize is larger.

The Official Scent of Twins vs. Royals 2013...

No, I mean literally. My wheels ain't what they used to be. I swapped out 6 inchers for some sweet 7 inch mags. Scooter store had a sale last month.

[Guest USAFChief]

Hey...I got an idea. How's about we swing at pitches IN the strike zone, and STOP SWINGING AT PITCHES OUTSIDE OF THE FRIGGING STRIKE ZONE!!1!

[Riverbrian]

And before that

 

[twinsnorth49]

Future Core Player bright spot of the game: After a flailing K, Breaking Bad wisely decides to not risk another failed bat demolition, possibly over his head this time. Get to know 'em!

We were framed!

 

Wait. Out-framed!

Flintstones. Meet the Flintstones.

They're the modern stone age family.

From the town of Bedrock,

They're a page right out of history.

 

Let's ride with the family down the street.

Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet.

 

When you're with the Flintstones

you'll have a yabba dabba doo time.

A dabba doo time.

You'll have a gay old time.

WIIIIILLLLLLMAAAAAAA!

OK, I haven't been able to follow the game tonight. Can anyone summarize what happened besides Dozier continues to rake and no one else can string hits together when it matters?

[LaBombo]

Scooter? Huh. Had always pictured you as more of a tricked-out trike guy...

I'm no expert, but to me it seems like you just did.

I hope you upgraded the brakes as well. Stock can't handle the increased stress.
