Game Thread: Tigers@Twins 9/23 7:10PM

[Squirrel]

And this game had so much promise up 'til now.

[Oldgoat_MN]

I apologize... I was just looking for something to have some fun with.

 

I understand... Golf Ball Sized moles can be a turn off.

 

Hey! She wasn't dating me! I'm not Loserdude.

 

Well, at least not that Loserdude.

[Riverbrian]

Got a picture of the Missus and her golf ball sized moles?

 

My wife is hot... Here's a photo of her and I.

 

[Riverbrian]

Anybody else lose power during the tremor when Prince Fielder landed after his four inch vertical leap for that popup?

 

No... But... There were concentric circles in my glass of water.

With the exception of Perkins and possibly Thielbar, the bullpen is cooked.

 

That tends to happen when you keep putting them in the oven game after game after game after game.

[LaBombo]

Over 550 innings pitched, easily the most in the AL. Only two others over 500: Toronto and... wait for it... Houston.

 

At least last year KC had the decency to keep us out of the number one spot

I thought you said the wife was outta town.

[Oldgoat_MN]

I cooked two dinners, but I don't have a Harmon Killebrew autographed baseball so your dinner is probably better.

That's why I went to the store and am cooking this week.

This just in: a bullpen made up mostly of castoffs does OK in the regular season but not in September against teams tuning up for the postseason.

It's possible you missed RB's point.

That's why I went to the bar and am drinking this week.

You should do a news sounder first. Isn't that posted on the game thread rules somewhere.

Be careful, them new 1400 watters'll burn stuff if you leave it in the recommended time.

[glunn]

The pitching has been bad, but the hitting seems worse. It's hard to win with zero runs.

Yeah I've kinda been on a henpecked roll tonight.

 

[Guest USAFChief]

No wonder the Twins seem so befuddled at the plate. It's not fair for the Tigers to be debuting this newfangled "breaking ball" this late in the season.

This being your house... I ask your permission to switch back to English for the remainder of the conversation.

[Oldgoat_MN]

Wow! Two runs.

 

Cool!

 

Wait... I remember... something like this in the past.

 

Was it a dream? Is this?

[Guest USAFChief]

We've done this without even the benefit of a rally avatar!

[Riverbrian]

You're allowed to express opinions??!!?

 

Oh yeah... Sometimes I'm even asked my opinion.

 

Over the years... I've learned that's a trap.

[Winston Smith]

it's kind of cute (in a little league way) how excited the guys get when they score a run.

[LaBombo]

The pitching has been bad, but the hitting seems worse. It's hard to win with zero runs.

 

The board concerns about pitching before the season were often met with... what's the politically correct phrase... determined speculation?...that the offense would be better, above average, etc. Bummer.

All rare events have the capacity to be exciting.

Kind of like Soccer in Europe... When they score... The place goes nuts... It happens so rarely.
