  1. VH1's "I Love the Late '90's"
  2. It's totally precious that the Rays are having a meeting on the mound like they're super worried about a big Twins rally. What a polite bunch of guests.
  3. With Santana getting roughed up again, the number of Twins starters with more than 3 starts and an ERA < 4.50 = http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6LBhGJGr7Fg/Vp0didt6OJI/AAAAAAAABh8/HBoNyVc_Wcc/s1600/zeroe.gif
  4. The Twins are like that D One college football team that used to be decent a few years ago, but now everybody is lining up to get them on their non-conference schedule to pad their record.
  5. The good news is that just like a very bad batting average, after a couple of months in the tank the "winning" percentage is barely affected by each individual loss.
  6. http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01415/sick_1415696c.jpg
  7. 2016 Twins as promoted by Twins marketing: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/simpsons/images/2/2d/Dino_Spongers.jpg 2016 Twins as imagined by fans starved for more competitive baseball: http://38.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly619wf3F91qh59n0o4_250.gif 2016 Twins' month of April: http://capricorncity.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Bart-Sells-His-Soul-Dino-Sponge.gif 2016 Twins, May and beyond: http://capricorncity.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Bart-Sells-His-Soul-Dinosaur-Sponge.gif
  8. Good. Get 'em some Twins uniforms and let's see some baseball.
  9. I saw that one. Not sure if theater or just black and white TV set. http://www.sezin.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/woman_screaming.jpg
  10. Ahhh, TD Game Thread. Come for the shared despair that is Twins baseball, stay for the music history! Tomorrow night: The legacy of Max Kepler's distant ancestor, Adolphe Sax! And by way of a signoff, thanks for creating tonight's game thread, great job!
  11. Well, there are much worse things to do on the streets for money. Like trying to sell your Twins tickets.
  12. It occurs to me that your post applies to virtually everything the Twins players, coaching staff, and front office have done (and not done) since Opening Day.
  13. Meh, blind squirrel, nut, etc. I could be either of them in that scenario. Hell, I'm still trying to figure out where the tuba reference came from at the beginning of the thread. Does it have something to do with the Rays player named Souza?
  14. In a game against another 100 loss juggernaut, maybe Molitor and Brunansky could pool their money and bribe the opposing manager to do that. Just one time, even. Three infielders and three outfielders to the left of second. Just the first baseman staying close enough to the bag to field a throw to first. Maybe that would finally make an impression on Dozier. Maybe.
  15. Time to switch to an automatic transmission.
  16. In fairness to me, the stat that was overboard was just a batting average. Rounded to the nearest .100.
  17. http://www.stuffmonsterslike.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Aliens.png
  18. I think I got warned about going overboard with baseball stats once. Does that count? Pretty sure that counts.
  19. ESPN Gamecast helpfully informs us that Suzuki is 1-4 lifetime vs..... Rickie Nolasco. Good to know if the Twins finally go Amok TIme on each other later in the season. http://www.treknews.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/spock-amok-time.jpg
  20. On pace for 110+ losses in May? Yeah, I was looking at Nolasco's pitch count after six and thinking that even after only throwing 80 or so pitches any other team would probably be thrilled with this outing from NoNo and just take the money and run with the bullpen. Twins look at the pitch count, see anything < 100, and out he goes, until he runs out of gas.
  21. Don't worry. Sasquatch will be off the DL and making more gazelle-like leaping grabs in s'no time.
  22. Practiced? http://i0.wp.com/troll.me/images/iverson-practice/practice.jpg?resize=650,400 Every game since mid-May has been practice! Besides, it's clear that Molitor won't be dissuaded from calling for the bunt or the hit and run (miss and run?) just because of a little thing like the Twins not being able to execute it. Because persistence!
  23. In less than a year I've gone from being unconditionally fired up about Molitor being the manager to just trying to look for things about the game he calls that don't puzzle me or just outright p!ss me off.
  24. Because we wouldn't want him to be too tired to bunt for a base hit in the 11th?
  25. Nolasco in danger of pitching his way below a 5.00 ERA. Maybe there is something to these cybermetric peripheral thingies after all.
