Game Thread: Twins @ Giants, June 9@9:15pm CT

I think Montana is onto something there.  I'm going to have to give that one a try.  My waistline thanks you.

 

I, for one, am tired of the west coast games.  Because i'm too easily hooked I end up staying up all night watching the game instead of going to bed.  My protocol for late games of any sport is simply not to watch.  It sucks.  Sleep has to take precedent on a "school" night though.

I live on the West coast I and am tired of the Twins playing out here. Of course, the fact I'm up at 4:30 am PT might have something to do with it...

Captain InSano!!

I was completely lost during the conversation so I said that it was all Greek to me. He didn't understand that.

In college we had students from all over the place, so when a Professor in one of my classes said as an aside, "it's all Greek to me," probably because he had written some math symbols that were squiggly Greek and he didn't actually know what he was writing, he paused and put Nick, our token Greek guy, on the spot and asked what people back home said in that situation. The reply was "it's all Chinese to me". Well, we had no shortage of Chinese guys in the classroom, so we asked them. "It's all Russian to me," was their response in unison. I guess my school wasn't hot stuff, because we didn't actually have a Russian, or maybe it was the quaint custom in those days to not invite our adversaries to learn secrets along with our students. But I bet they had some other language to blame, and so on, and so on, and eventually it would have circled back to "it's all English to me" if we had kept at it.

Blasphemy!
 

I would like to se the game threads stay unlocked longer for west coast games.  I went to bed before I refreshed and saw the chicken photo Chief posted, which was grilled chicken and vaguely healthy looking. (It looked pretty good, but still grilled and healthy)  You'd think we had lost and there is a 6:00 a.m. practice scheduled as a result.
 

Tonight we want fried chicken.  Nothing healthy, just a mountain of battered, deep fried, extra-crispy dead chicken flesh. That's if our bullpen will allow it, of course.

Try being in the Twins'/Gods' Territory and having to get up by 5 AM ....I have yet to hear an end of the games and some of their beginnings ...................................Live on the West coast???? Says a lot  

 

gil4 Johnson is right! Keep the West Coast game threads unlocked longer. My comment about last night's game has to be posted today. Here goes: "The juggernaut of Gibson, Belisle, Rogers, and Kintzler looked every bit Major League last night. Now, later, rinse, repeat for 100 more games." That is all.

I agree 100%. There is nothing better than Twins games starting at 5:00 PT (or 4:00 from the East) and finishing before my (early) bedtime.

 

I get into routines and find it hard to break them. A couple of years ago I lived in Europe during much of the English football season. I was so used to watching my favorite team at 7am Pacific time that it was really difficult to watch in the afternoon, which is the "normal" time.

For all you complainers, I live in Maine. Last night's game started at 10:10 and the last pitch was around 1:05AM (I think). It was pretty dificult getting out of bed this morning - although it was almost 10:00. Did I forget to mention that I'm retired? HeeHee.

I'm in Santa Fe on Mountain time.  I love my Saturday morning Liverpool games.  Can't imagine getting up at 4:30 am for the early game, though.

 

I definitely enjoy having baseball games at reasonable times, so I don't have to stay up past midnight!  And on the weekends, games start in the morning.

I'm right there with you.  I'll try to stay up now and then on weekends, but I won't try during the week.  

 

Blasphemy!

2.5 years from retirement for me. Not that I'm counting or anything.

Some call it "God's Territory" others might attach "forsaken."

I think that sort of falls under the CBU rubric.

Wait, you mean students way back then actually had a sense of humor?

No, I don't think so. He was firm about his position on purpose.

A sweep of the Giants has been ordered from this Twins guy who also bleeds Dodger Blue.

Winning and helping the Dodgers?

 

Talk about a win-lose proposition.

Yeah it's clever enough... but I can't give this a like for obvious reason.

If I could do it any other way... I'd leave those late game threads up longer. Unfortunately... I can't. I only have a small window in the morning to post the new open.

 

Once I'm at work... it's nose to the grindstone. So that means a choice of posting at 7AM or when I'm done from work around 6PM.

 

Yes I do get a lunch break but there are days when I have to cancel it for various reasons and I never know when that will happen in advance.

 

That leaves the only safe window to post the new thread in the morning. 

 

My apologies and my hope for forgiveness and understanding.

We're Twins fans, so, forbearance is sort of built into our DNA.

Along with disappointment, heartbreak and masochism. There's also a downside.
