  1. "I think I've been slaked!"
  2. Even worse... I was just gonna say 'game' at first. But now that you mention it...
  3. And I am moved beyond mere words... Let the festive dance begin!
  4. The good news is that there's an excellent chance that you won't be haunted by memories of this season...
  5. I hope that at least it happened during the day...
  6. I would not eat them in a rout, or with the outcome still in doubt... I would not in a rain delay, or back end of a double play. Not in a bases loaded jam, I will not eat them Sam I Am!!!
  7. So that's at least five times that we know when Mauer has batted with the bases loaded and hasn't grounded out to second.
  8. "Thank you for your recent purchase of EGG and CHICKEN. You may also be interested in these other Amazon items": http://img.tebyan.net/big/1395/02/23110420775130561692522731107724529139177.jpg
  9. "When we get to the 9th, tell me, 'cause I'm gonna throw up".
  10. If you really want their attention, better go with the double dare...
  11. No, really, Yankee hitters and Twins pitching, you didn't have to make it interesting on my account, with showing up late and all.
  12. This is in no way a knock on anything you wrote, but I'm strangely compelled to admit, with The Almighty as my witness, that I initially misread the fourth from last word of that sentence as 'feces'.
  13. Well, for me at least, that was the most exciting Twins game in quite a while, which means that they've basically been reduced to the sports equivalent of a nature show dung beetle trying to avoid being eaten by a praying mantis.
  14. Dick was calling the David Wells perfect game and stopped just short of claiming it should be invalidated by MLB due to the abysmally low level of talent in the Twins' lineup. It wouldn't surprise me if Pohlad personally threatened to "release the hounds" on him if he ever disparaged the product on the field that strongly on the air again. So maybe playing up Lopez' ability is just Dick protecting his own professional fanny. Or maybe it's just Bremer being Bremer.
  15. If the Twins manage to avoid reaching base, this game will almost rival the embarrassment of the Twins' quad-A stiffs getting perfecto'd by inebriated gastropod David Wells in '98.
  16. Couple more games like this and Falvine will have to cross "Pummel the Royals" off their list of ways to maintain a fig leaf of competitiveness for this team.
  17. ... advised Abner Doubleday to just let Fort Sumter fend for itself and instead work some more on 'that idea for the game with a ball and a stick'.
  18. One last vent... Nobody, from first-time posters all the way up through the site's regular staff and founding Rushmore heads, should write a single word about the Twins contending in 2019 unless/until they've watched every single blessed minute of this embarrassment of a game.
  19. I hear ya, but right now, at this exact moment, the Twins can collectively pass a stone for all I care. LoBeyChab Update: -3.0 and falling... rapidly.
  20. Yup, seven pitches for Sipp, but they don't dare leave him in vs. our guy who another team discarded in favor of Bobby F. Wilson.
  21. Down 9-1, but we got that first baserunner aboard with only one out! Rally caps, everyone...
  22. And after this debacle, I'm feeling my ire shift from Belisle to those responsible for him being on the mound. Edit: Thanks, HK, it's a relief to see that I'm not the only one who feels their Twins fandom being threatened by this regime.
