Game Thread: Twins @ Yankees, 8/17 @ 6:05pm CT

Nobody goes to the restaurants in New York. They're too crowded.

Is that a Yogi Berra Quote?

Ya know what I wanna see this week outta the boys?   I wanna see pitches busted in on A-Rod’s knuckles.   I wanna see a Yankee shortstop get put in the 3rd row on a DP slide, and if he beefs, tell him it’s 4-year-old payback from Nishioka.   I wanna see Dozie or Poof slap a tag on a runner with some meaning.   I wanna see some swagger, I wanna see some fight.   I wanna see 10-pitch at-bats, and plenty of ‘em.    I don’t wanna see anything remotely resembling Minnesota Nice. 

 

Go into that Bronx like you own it for change.   By golly, call up Arcia just for the sheer moxie of it.   I    wanna   kick-   some-   Yankee-   a$$.   Win or lose, I don’t care.    Just show me something this week, boys.

I want a win TONIGHT!!!

Twins win....

Who? Never heard of him.

I can see the appeal of beatin' 'em in their own house at their own game.

 

Personally, i'll be happy with winning three one run nail biters that the Yankees of New York can do nothing about, while we remain as pleasant and courteous as can be. "Bravisimo! Encore!"

 

But a no hitter, or a softball mercy rule style victory by the Twins as a statement certainly wouldn't be amiss...

 

Anyway, what happens happens, and i suppose the Yankees might have something to say on the matter. It'll be an evening's entertainment, at last.

 

I'm just glad i renewed my license a few months ago, before i got the temptation to show up in a bathing suit with a beach towel and a supersoaker. That could be taken the wrong way.

I say we make a statement the same way the North Stars did against the Bruins in 1981.  After getting dominated (and beaten) for years, when the Bruins sent Steve Kasper out to intimidate Bobby Smith, he started pushing back (for a change).  After losing that game, they won the war- the Stars wiped the Bruins out in the playoffs.  It's baseball, not hockey, but could we maybe throw a couple pitches that were actually a little bit off the plate inside?  Please?  Maybe a clean, hard, late slide, as suggested?

 

That might help.  Something has to change.

Really? How would you know? When was the last time you were in New York?

If they could just fit a restaurant in, people might go to it?

 

Kinda like, if you build it, they will come...

 

I wonder if hotdog stands count?

 

A favorite joke o' my sister's:

 

The Buddhist* walks up to the hotdog vendor and says "make me one with everything."

The corollary being he pays for it with a $20 and in response to further inquiries, the vendor responds "change comes from within."

 

*-ignoring the fact that i believe they are vegan, no? But humor also comes from absurdity, or so i'm lead to believe...

They are a lot like Michigan waterparks.

I agree with your attitude, but nobody can be blamed for Nishioka.

Hmm. The Dalai Lama actually eats meat. I was disappointed to learn that, being a vegetarian myself.

 

No joke.

I'm tired of the A-Rod and Teixeira blasting homeruns off us. Please let them be too old to do that anymore!

I fear the only thing callng up Where's Oswaldo would do for us is guarantee us the victory in a pre-game Knucklehead Contest.

Bill Smith says hello. 

If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.

Is there a typo at the end of the first sentence?  Otherwise, this not the kind of post that is proper for this board  (then again, it is the game thread).
