Game Thread: Twins @ Red Sox, 7/21 @ 6:10pm CT

Your game Intros are awesome!!!!

 

If you haven't been there yet, check out Camden Yards.  Probably my favorite.

So that the  heck did Kermit eat to get those damn skinny legs?

Great green intro RB. In keeping with the theme, everyone list a favourite green character, just one now, give everyone a chance. Go!

 

I love this guy, I quote Marvin pretty much every time I watch the Twins.

As a 5'-4" tall guy, I can attest to the shear size of both Paul Bunyan and Kent Hrbek.  My wife is from Bemidji, so we know Paul well and I've stood next to Hrbek and they both tower over me.  I've seen the Jolly Green Giant, but he seems too jolly to approach.  I don't want to ruin his mood.

 

I quite enjoy Coors Field.  Not much of an atmosphere around the place, but the park itself is awesome with some nice mountain views if positioned correctly.

He's um.......a frog man. 

I'll take Flubber.  He's awesome!

Yeah, I like Coors FIELD a lot. 

 

One of the best bang for you buck, seating wise, is 200 level seating, 1st row just off home plate.  Great, great view of the field.  Every bit as good as lower level, if not actually better. I made the mistake of buying the same number seat at target once and it felt like I was watching the game from from the moon because turns out 200 level isn't 2nd level, but much higher up.

Great green intro R&B.

Tastes like water.

I'm the slam dunk champ of my house on our tiny basketball hoop in the garage!

 

Back in the day, I could grab the net.  That was an accomplishment in and of itself for someone of that height.  Now, I'd probably pull a hamstring and calf simply preparing to try that.

 

Muggsy had some made ups, no doubt.  Massive hands as well.  I can't even come close to palming a ball.

 

Tastes like water.

Coors FIELD, my friend. ;-)

Not sure what my favorite would be, but I think most of us can get behind my least favorite...Norm Green.

Tell me that you have one of those helmets, cause that'd be awesome!

Does Mean Joe Greene count?

Yese.

As the younger brother in my family, I was normally stuck with Luigi when playing Super Mario Brothers...

Ah Luigi.  the Aquaman of the Mario world. :-)

 

Sure, why not.

 I figured it would if there was a British version of this site, but not necessarily the American site :-)

You mean you don't?

 

You mean you don't?

I lost mine in an ill-advised poker game.

Believe me, we had our share of fights over who gets to be Mario, and who gets to be Donkey Kong... Good times.

We'd play a game of pong to decide that :-)
