LaMarre accommodates, eh?

One more inning pitched would suit me well too.

Why do i hear Johnny Cash as i read that?

Can't see slash without thinking of this:

Disclaimer... Um... I'm lazy. So i don't think things through, even after the last minute. So my game thread intros are as much a surprise to me as you. I just am faced with the decision to start over, and i might have said it before... i'm lazy. That said, the one video included was perhaps a bit of downer. Like the scene where Kevin Costner tells his (character's) daughter to turn off Harvey. But i don't know how memorable the line: "This means something! It's important" is? Show of hands, who, given that line, would have thought of mashed potatoes? Anyway... we got us a game to watch!

No prob!

All rise! The right honourable Umpire is entering the stadium (do the get walk up music? if not, what should they have?) On the charge of waiting until the last second to write a game thread intro, how do you plead? Squirrel! Let the Jury take note that the defendent won't give a straight answer. Wait... who is in this jury you're talking about? Why, the contributors to this thread, naturally. Oh, for a moment you were making light of the injured twins, as being "in jury"... Hardly. That's how you see the world. Let the record show that the defendent thinks that Movie Quotes make a good game thread intro. Just settin' a good example: others should chime in likewise. Ha ha. Very funny. Let the record show that silly names are attached to these threads with out rhyme or reason. I thought i had a reason at the time... Patience is a name as well as a virtue, and we only gotta wait half a month to see how they do in playoffs... We made it through 5.5 months already! Is it really a name? Yes. And the title character of a Comic Opera. See. i'm enriching the thread. But worst of all, you think a Judicial System parody is appropriate for a game thread intro? I see your point. I will wear the cone of shame. Foreman, will you read the verdict? Foreman? Oh, right. This is a pourly thought out metaphor. And you need to deliberate. While you are deliberating, you might consider tuning into the Twins Game against Chicago, it might give you some perspective. Chicago 0. Ross Detwiler ( L) P 1. Leury Garcia ( S ) RF 2.

, you say? Is that what they call an opinion of differences... (and i'm pretty sure we don't countenance unjust math... well, maybe in hyperbole)

No. You can't have 1. Not until you're ready. 8 for you. (and What's on second.)

Wait... these numbers look strangely similar. Does that mean we are as far behind the Yankees as the Indians are behind us? (roughly speaking... within game in hand margins)

Careful...

Maybe he's keeping everyone involved in the game?

Gonzalez is back! Good to know people come back from injuries.

Walk also has four letters in it.

I would not complain.

Jake has four letters.

Whaddi miss?

The bear yo's?

Once more into the batter's box...

I think we are not exploring this subject fully... To paraphrase the narator, is the new team is built with... a stiffening truss* and now completely stable? (note to self... no WTC, nor i35. What else might be in poor taste?) *nominations for what embodies this metaphor for the Twins will be accepted up to the end of the season.

Not to cause a revolution, but for the more audially receptive folk:

If we keep getting as many hits as outs, we might score eventually.

Insta-game thread! Just add what? er... water. that's it. Thanks Mr. Bell!

I can leave negative comments? How? Try as i might, my number of comments always seems to increase...

What happens when we're all out of bubble gum?
