Game Thread: Twins @ Mariners, 5/27 @ 9:10pm CT

Well done!

 

Can anyone think of a similar scenario where your wife wouldn’t blame it all on you?

 

Nope.  Always wondered about that part of the song.  She puts in a personal ad...his fault of course for driving the relationship to that point.  He answers the personal ad...how could he be so insensitive?  I'm surprised that there isn't another version of the song where instead of laughing, she just kicks the sheboygan right outta him.

Also, Purple Rain...I think this is a year in which we need some cleansing.  Not the kind that sends you in a frantic dash to the bathroom every 5 minutes after downing that nasty colonoscopy stuff.  Rather, the kind that makes us forget the baseball that we've seen.

 

Therefore, I would like to propose that in the 8th inning of all Twins baseball games, Purple Rain should be played.  Hey, the Red Sox have their Sweet Caroline.  Why can't we have our Purple Rain?

Raining in Minneapolis, too. One of my dogs thinks this is the best thing ever and the other will only go out if absolutely necessary.

Also, Genesis (the book) doesn't say that Noah built an ark in 7 days.  Actually, it could have taken him 100 years.  But I do like Genesis the band even if they say that Noah built it in 7 days.

"I never meant to cause you any sorrow.  I never meant to cause you any pain...."  perhaps the Twins could actually come out of the dugout and sing it to the fans.

I was going through Twins withdrawals, what with the off day and all.

 

Which I find to be rather odd, considering how dismal the Twins have been.

After reading your second thought, I assumed you had never been to Seattle.  It's pretty much non-stop light rain for about 6 months. 

 

The summers there are very nice though.

The 80s... the last great decade for the music industry.  It was all downhill after that. 

There are few rules for game threads. Virtually nothing is off topic. Let the conversation flow, like rain water, down hill, to the gutter.

 

But there is a limit. And I have the power to set it.

 

So let it be known, henceforth and forevermore: NO MORE MENTIONS OF COLONOSCOPIES. EVER.

 

Are we clear? ARE WE CLEAR? CRYSTAL??

Really wish I was alive when 80's pop was bursting on the scene. There's no decade that's come close to that kind of sound since. 

It's also raining here in Austin... Supposed to go to a Round Rock Express game tonight and the forecast changes every 20 minutes. One station says 90% chance of strong thunderstorms, the other station says mostly cloudy and no rain.

Got it.  My bad!

As an apology, I would like to offer up this 18 minute version of Purple Rain.

We've found his kryptonite.

Speaking of which, I had to get one a few months back...  That rain analogy is a pretty good way to describe the cleansing process...

Great... now I have to go back to the drawing board thinking of a new theme for tomorrow's game thread.

How shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

Colonoscopy.

The end.

Too close to home?

By the way, happy birthday to our favorite young pitching prospect Jose Berrios! 

Turning the big 22 today.

Someone still a bit sore from a recent excursion to the doctor?

It was about to rain for 40 days and 40 nights

 

Yeah..

 

 

Banned! The lot of you!

I was supposed to be at this series this weekend in Seattle, after the brutal first 4-5 weeks of the season we decided to goto Paris, France (early next week) instead of west coast Twins watching.

 

The best part about Paris is it will be nearly impossible to watch this team. Now THAT is a vacation.

 

I think Pat Dean is in for a tough night tonight, the Mariners have some dudes that MASH LHP.

By the way, excellent thread chum. Good job.

Does this mean no Purple Rain for the 8th inning break?

It took some digging, but I found a clip of Chief leaving the doctor's office after his "routine check-up" to get him in the door.

So what you're sayin' is...a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

The downside is, that it's Paris.

Speaking of colonoscopies, what's gotten up Chief's (bleep)?

False.

 

What's on second.
