Game Thread: Twins v Indians, 9/22 @ 7:10pm CT

Great taste in music Brian!

For some completely inexplicable reason, you instead made me think of this song. Maybe it's a sign Buxton is going to bunt.

 

Kepler Watch begins now! 13 games left, so my expectation is 26 Homers between Kepler and Sano. Anything less is a horrible letdown.

I listened to that song ON PURPOSE just two nights ago. Strange coincidence.

with each loss the fuse burns closer to the bomb that blows up the season.

Great taste in music Brian!

I'm just glad i have an ear for some of it.

 

He can taste music too? Cool.

 

Word play aside, i'm going to look up these musics and give 'em a hearin' now...

 

(Nothin' like here 'n' now, is there?)

Time is Tight (or something with a very similar sound) is used in the Bluesbrothers (the movie) right?

"It's Now or Never".

Time for our Santana to earn those millions tonight - Smooth.

Time for our Santana to earn those millions tonight - Smooth.

How smooth?

 

No squirrel in his right mind would bother chasing a rabbit, when instead he could stop and check out a nut on a park bench!

 

 

3. The Indians -- It was Columbus who called them Indians because he thought he landed in India. If you've ever been to Cleveland you can see why he was confused. Overcrowded... people regularly bathing in a dirty river.

 

That's not a river, it's Lake Erie. 

 

What you are mistaking for the opposite bank of a river is maybe just a huge pile of floating junk?

 

 

How smooth?

 

Brent Spiner can't keep a straight face (and I bet they shot that scene 10+ times)

Sticking to tonight's music theme, wIll the Twins leave next week "fully loaded for Cleveland"? Or will they fail as the Fitz did, in Michigan? "A good crew, it's been good to know yah" ?

Terry Ryan is on a park bench?  ;-)

This is the team that scares me right now.  Good starters, hot rookie SS, Terry Francona in the dugout...  and right on our heels.

 

Oh, yes, and how nice we have the young Mr. Kepler up with the big club, so he can take a seat next to Mr. Vargas and watch the old guys swing in futility.  Yippee.

Lindor is only 21? He can't be ready. Why are the Indians burning his service time?

The top three hitters in Cleveland's lineup are hitting .302, .318, .315--top three for the Twins: .260, .236, .266.

Sweet trip down memory lane-  When I was a tyke, I wanted to be a Shondell.  Didn't really know what that was, so went back to astronaut.  Now I'm just spacy.

We make up for the difference in volumn.

Indeed. We go to 11.

We ain't out of it yet...

 

0-0 after 1 inning.

Hi, Jake.

 

"Really... I'm late... I gotta go." It took me a second to realize why he thought he was late, but afterwards I laughed for the rest of the afternoon thinking about it.

 

Gotta read these more carefully.    So it was the person who had the phone and said he was late for a very important date...

Ervin Santana is an interesting pitcher. He varies his speed, spin and location enough that neither the hitter nor the catcher is sure what's coming next.

What's the over/under on which inning Molitor has to separate the Mauer brothers and threaten that if they don't sit still and be quiet he'll "turn the dugout around and everyone can just wait until next year to go to Yellowstone..."  ?

I parsed it right the first time (but that just made the sentence more fun to read) but yeah, i also thought of the works o' Lewis Carol, and wondered what would happen if 20 squirrels found a nut labelled "eat me"

Oh yeah...

 

second inning, same as the first, a little bit louder and a little bit worse...

Lindor is only 21? He can't be ready. Why are the Indians burning his service time?

It's in his rookie contract, along with paid time off to fulfill the terms of his wicked huge truffle endorsement deal...

Not sure how many will get this, but You cannot have a Booker T and the MGs reference without the requisite Blues Brothers pic:
