Game Thread A's@Twins 5/4 7:10PM

(Rocky the Squirrel Voice) And Now... It's time for something that I hope you really like!!! 

 

The LUAWC Queen and the magic that she does!!! 

Wow!!! Let me guess: You poured 14 K-cups down before typing this!!!

 

Always remember: If you put instant coffee in a microwave you'll go back in time.

 

Getting someone a great gift and then waiting to give it to them!!!

OK... You got your wife a great gift for her birthday... and now you gotta wait for her birthday... This is HARD!!! It's such a great gift that you want to show her or tell her right away. I can't do it... Every time I've gotten my wife something fantastic... I tell her... So when her birthday comes... She knows what's inside.
 

Are you suggesting that you buy gifts for your wife before her actual birthday and not that day?

 

This is an intriguing concept.

4. Jesse Hahn -- 
 

 

I first read this as Jessica Hahn and was wondering -- what would Jessica Hahn have to do with the Twins game, but then remembered who had written this post and there would probably be a connection when using RB logic and thinking  (but alas it was not about Jessica Hahn).

 

The Twins have won 4 in a row!!!
 

Here are some other things that we are impatient about:


Texting People who take hours to reply!!!

Yeah... I'm one of those people but I'm ok with that because I'm not the one waiting for a response... but when I text someone and have to wait for a response back... This makes me impatient. I've removed approximately 12 people from my texting list due to slow responses. My Wife is relieved that I don't text her anymore.

 

FTFY.

 

5. Arriving on Time -- I used to pride myself on arriving on time. If I said I would be there at 4PM... I was there at 3:55PM. I considered it a great skill of mine. However... Soon I realized that no one was there to appreciate this skill.

 

My father's philosophy of life .... if you aren't 15 minutes early, you're late.

 

It was a philosophy he inherited from his father but not all of his brothers subscribed.  Grandpa to Uncle Charlie:  "We eat at noon.  If you and your family aren't here, we eat without you."

 

Always remember: If you put instant coffee in a microwave you'll go back in time.

Yeah, I figured that out when I dropped acid about 20 years ago. The crazy part of that experience is that I met Huey Lewis and Michael J. Fox in the midst of that journey.

 

... or at least I think I did?

I think RiverBrian needs to go back on the adderol.

Psh, if we can't sweep a bunch of sub-.500 scrubs, what are we doing anymore?

 

But really, though, exciting things to come in this series. I think we have a shot at taking three from the A's and really making an improvement on the W/L record. Eddie will be fun to watch.

 

(Also, I just got around to seeing Moneyball for the first time over the weekend. Great movie. I gave it a solid 8/10 in my movie-watching spreadsheet, so all your references were really topical.)

Do you really want him to do something that might alter his one-of-a-kind artistry?  Think of all of the great writers of the past whose best work might have been lost had they not been a little off kilter.  Sometimes you need to sacrifice mental and/or emotional stability for great writing.

Is there a Pulitzer for game thread introductions?

Is there any mention of Rosario being in the lineup for game 2 of this series?

None so far. Jesse Chavez tomorrow is the only righty we'll see for the rest of the set, for what that's worth.

Think Salinger, Poe, Kerouac, Kesey and Thompson, especially Thompson.

omg ... I forgot ... it's Star Wars night! lol

It is so nice to see the D help the pitcher instead of hinder.

I never tried the stuff, but a friend told me he once saw Daffy Duck driving a semi passing him in the next lane, and he decided maybe it was time to pull over for a while.

Typed too soon.

He's hughesing the dark side.

awww, crap.

Apparently Hughes needs a stint on the DL.

Tuned in just in the for the Grannie. Maybe I should invoke that Abe Simpson animated GIF yet again.

Son of a...

True fact: Today is "International Respect for Chickens Day." To celebrate, McNuggets for all. I'll buy.

Yeah, that happened to me too.

I'm beginning to think he's not as ready for this outing as he's been made out to be.

Third homer in as many at-bats for Vogt, apparently.

trying to find the record for fastest grand slam in history...

2,100... Hellz Yeah!!!!
