Okay... I gotta head out within half an hour. Not sure if i'll be able to check in again before the end of the game... I'm leaving the game in good hands, right?

I need to read the opening of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead again...

As expected.

Double play to endthe inning.

Polanco with a walk and stolen base. Alas, that is all we get in the top of the first.

Last... Laugh? Round up? Post?

Aphorism game thread. In the aphore times, when ya couldn't look up the rules on the internet, and compare the bruteforce statistics of when it made sense to bunt, they had to come up with quick and clever ways of remindin' folk what to do. Here are a bunch of useful ones that will help us win... Well now... It seems some Sox fan got into my game thread intro, and mixed a few dubious ones. Can you help me sift through and figure out what is what? Rosario sure would appreciate it. Hit 'em where they ain't. Red sky at dawn, the bunt must be on. Red sky at night, play back and hold tight. Chose wisely, for swinging at the correct pitch may give you immortality, a false pitch will take it from you. Don't make the 3rd out at 3rd. Only you can prevent jinx-fires. Hit the cutoff. nobody, not even the rain, has such small... chance of falling in our outfield. Cover first on anything hit to the left. Er... your left. Swing, batter batter batter. I'm not left handed either. Quoth the umpire... nevermore. Don't swing until ya see the whites of their eyes. Never tell me the odds! You remind me of the babe. Bases are half-full. I don't want a pickle. Run on 3... 2... 1... Contact! Don't cross the streams. Don't throw a hanger on 0-2. Spider always catches the infield fly. Evil, pure and simple from the 8th dimension. Coffee is for closers. Helmets are for lollygaggers. Pay no attention to the man behind the baggy. Play Ball! Twins: 0. Kenta Maeda (R ) P 1. Max Kepler ( L) RF 2. Josh Donaldson (R ) 3B 3.

Winnah.

3 more outs... Almost there!

I didn't quite catch that... Mind repeating it so i hear? (i might be a little deaf from the concussion of the Sano at bat)

You mean it wasn't the blistering heat he was hurling?

Alas, no i didn't. Mostly 'cause previous seasons i've mostly not had video. Thanks for pointing it out!

That way he doesn't accidentally pass Rosario...

Buxton! Doesn't have to do anything...

Hmmm... How come the video stream jumps, but never during the commercials?

I bet they can't have a weirder double play than last inning...

Keep it up.

Do you mean to second or to first? He got tagged out by Adrianza chasing him down back towards first.

We got lucky there...

As he's busy announcing, I'll accept your apology on his behalf.

3 games, so i hear...

How many flocks is that?

No apology needed. Are there any more negative nancies about? I think as long as we got an even number, we're okay.

50 game threads. Definitely... 50 game threads.

Regarding rain, Donaldson begs to differ... (or so i'm lead to believe. Which i will... when i see it.)
