Game Thread: Twins @ Angels, 6/13 @ 9:05pm CT

I like this facing Trout with the bases empty idea.  

 

I hope we can do that a couple more times.

 

A stick

Whaddya call a boomerang that doesn't come back?

 

 

This made me think of Potato Wave and that made me think of this:

 

 

And then I laughed

 

Benny Lava ?!?  Is that you?

 

 

So, a baby seal walks into a club...

 

Reminds me of the true story of Greenpeace activists spray painting the fur of Seals so their pelts would be worthless and this effort was supposed to save their life from poachers.

The spray painting didn't really blend in with the snow anymore and they became easy meals for predators. 

 

So, a baby seal walks into a club...

Thanks.......just ....thanks.

I think Ryan might still be able to beat the Twins.

BUXTON

Buxton-zee!

So, a baby seal walks into a club...

So a welder walks into a bar. . .

 

Thanks.......just ....thanks.

My pleasure, sir.

Seems to be figuring out those breaking pitches a bit better.

 

I think when Chief started out, his first jokes began something like this: "So a Midianite, a Bedouin and a Philistine were on a camel. . ."

 

I think it was when a Neanderthal, a homo sapien, and saber tooth tiger walked into a tar pit.

All three said "What's brown and sticky?"
 

If you see this beer, buy it, it's bloody good.

Universal Studio tour monorail runs through there, then on to WestWorld.

Seems like Ricky would have much better stats if he only had to face Trout, Calhoun, Escobar and Pujols. The bottom of the order, perhaps the bottomest bottom of the order in baseball, is killing him.

 

So a welder walks into a bar. . .

 

And he asks the bartender... "Have you heard the joke that doesn't have a punchline"

 

and the Bartender says "No" 

Eric Rasmussen, Ricky whisperer.

 

 

I don't t much care for that little Italian fellow.

 

But his invention has done so many good things that more than make up for sending Dan Gladden's baseball observations hundreds of miles through the air...

I was at the Bank and the old lady in front of me wanted to check her balance.

 

So I Pushed her and it wasn't very good. 

GROSSMAN

How does one get named after a New Mexican city anyhow.

And he asks the bartender... "Have you heard the joke that doesn't have a punchline"

 

and the Bartender says "No"

 

I thought the bartender said he did, but it didn't stick in his memory.

Heh...  I HATE those rocks.

 

I lived in LA for the 2000's, til I mistakenly took a wrong turn and came East-  

But had to go to that godforsaken OC  for my Twinkie fix every year- (and also the Yanks- cuz it would get ROWDY- that's another tale for another time)

 

But, in those early 00's, Disney still owned them, and also the Ducks, and it was nothing more than a cross-marketing opportunity for them.  Get those turistas to stay in the same Disney hotel, and hit Disneyland and a ballgame or hockey game on the same trip.  $$$

 

That's when they had those truly, truly, worse-than-the-70s-Astros uniforms, with the angel wings on the PERIWINKLE  jerseys, (cross marketing for their 'Angels in the Outfield" movie), and the Ducks, of course, (cross-marketing for their 'Mighty Ducks' I-VII), in their signature maroon-and-teal.  (TEAL!). So, Disney had just opened their "California Adventure" theme park, and that's when they put those ridiculous, stupefying rocks in the ballpark- to slyly suggest to baseball fans, that, 'Hey, I wonder why I suddenly feel the need to visit Disneyland's least-attended theme park..."

 

When Artie Moreno took over mid-decade, and made the Angels be from LA again, and got rid of those unsightly periwinkles for major-league red, I thought he'd maybe get rid of those stupid rocks, too, but.... bridge too far, I guess.
