Things to Think About:

1. Think about Patience... That's what we are supposed to have with Kyle... Right? He hasn't come out guns a blazing... But eventually they will blaze... Right? Like Axl Rose Said... "All we need is a little patience". Just a little patience and "Chinese Democracy" is released.

2. Think about One Game... One game with the Mets... A make up from a previous rain out. Those other games with the Mets are long gone. The teams are different now... So Yeah... It's a one game series... The Ultimate Rubber Game.

3. Think about Eric Young Jr... Personally... When he was released by the Rockies... I wanted him... The Mets grabbed him... I have no idea if the Twins had any interest... I just want to say that I wanted him. He's an energy speed with a ton of speed and we don't have much speed right now.

4. Think about Dillon Gee... Gee... His last name is Gee... Gee Whiz...

5. Think about Fools... They say a fool and his money is soon parted... How did the Fool get money in the first place?

Here is my contribution of today's Twins:

For some reason, my mind is no longer on baseball.

Are you making fun of my Tittis?

Winston Smith · August 19, 2013

Are you making fun of my Tittis?

Nope never, I should have made a dedication to the Twins media.

What the heck happened to the Twins I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest game of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Ashbury, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my *ss from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Ryan, he's a dead man! Gardenhire, dead! Niedermeyer... well, I digress. Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! Let's do iiiiit!

Frankly, I like the pig in lipstick picture better than all the 'Titti' pictures. Could that be a gender thing? Maybe. But neither have my mind wavering off baseball.

You must have missed all the posts by disgruntled armchair GM's about how we are not doing it, and, further, how we should be doing it because, obviously, those who are not really trying to do it, are just not trying to do it right, never have, never will. But I digress. Go Twins!

ashbury · August 19, 2013

It's faintly possible that Animal House is another of those gender things.

IdahoPilgrim · August 19, 2013

The Ultimate Rubber Game.

Boy, talking about a hanging post right over the center of the plate...

5. Think about Fools... They say a fool and his money is soon parted... How did the Fool get money in the first place?

Because there are plenty of other fools waiting to give it to them. It's a vicious cycle.

Top Gun · August 19, 2013

The fat lady is singin!

IdahoPilgrim · August 19, 2013

So is anybody else wishing they had shut Gibson down at 140 innings?

Squirrel · August 19, 2013

The fat lady is singin!

Hmmm ... what do you consider fat? I might be considered fat next to an anorexic person ... and I'm not singing at all.

Thegrin · August 19, 2013

DP !!! The Twins way strikes again.

Squirrel · August 19, 2013

You know ... I'm not sure why I am getting Extra Innings from Comcast. I mean ... I didn't think they gave that to you for free, but since the free preview week following the All-Star break (to get people to sign on for the 2nd half of the season) it just never shut off. I'm not going to call them, however. They screwed up my account enough this summer.

Squirrel · August 19, 2013

omg ... have to give props where props are due ... that was an awesome catch.

At the risk of getting serious, I was more or less thinking along these lines yesterday, as we went 2 for 3,000 with runners in scoring position. Couldn't we try to steal a base? Hit and run a little bit? Move an opposing batter off the plate? It just seems like complete station-to-station statue play, waiting for Plouffe to pop up with runners on (yes, I'm sour on Trevor after supporting him a long time). Dead Men Walking. I know most of these guys can't hit, but can't they do something? I exempt Dozier from this rant.

Great catch against Willingham there.

Halsey Hall · August 19, 2013

Gibson may be shutting himself down after this poor start.

Thegrin · August 19, 2013

Frankly, I was a little surprised they sent Colabello down.

August stats.

Halsey Hall · August 19, 2013

How did you see the catch?

Squirrel · August 19, 2013

How did you see the catch?

Me? On TV. Comcast Extra Innings.

big dog · August 19, 2013

MLB.com is carrying the Met's broadcast, and I don't live in MN so it isn't blacked out.

Squirrel · August 19, 2013

yeah, I'm not in MN, either.

snepp · August 19, 2013

So I have to listen to Gladden today?

@#$%

Halsey Hall · August 19, 2013

Thanks Chi and Big Dog. I can't see it here.

Winston Smith · August 19, 2013

Gibson seems like the ball is coming out of his hand good today, must have had a good bullpen!

Squirrel · August 19, 2013

So I have to listen to Gladden today?

@#$%

If you had an audio subscription (I think it's $14-15/year; maybe $20) that's never blocked out and you can listen to the opponents radio broadcast. It comes in handy.

Halsey Hall · August 19, 2013

At this rate Gibson won't make 3 innings.

big dog · August 19, 2013

At this rate Gibson won't make 3 innings.

I was actually just about to post that if the line was Gibson pitching into the 4th, I would take the under. He looks lost on the mound, at least to me- he's not getting after it...
