Top 10 rejected game thread intro ideas: 10. Pig latin. 9. Rip Van Winkle 8. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. 7. Thesis abstract. 6. Propaganda pamphlet. 5. Yoyo Tricks... by Yoyo Ma. 4. Ostrich: bury head in sand. 3. Things to complain about. 2. I spy with my little eye. and the number 1 rejected game thread into idea: 1. a David Letterman style top 10 list... Um... yeah... That didn't end well. Nevermind. Try again. And David said "thy servant shall fight these phillistwins" and Gardenhire outfitted him in a helmet and batting gloves. But David mistrusted it, and took just a ball and a glove out to the mound, glad that he was in the AL. Um... no. For once i'm rooting *for* the ph- the Twins. No, i'm not going to link the shutting down of Hal 9000 despite it being done by a David, despite it being an epic scene. But i will point out that the song is about a tandom bike, as Twins might ride. And there is a more apt use of the phrase "Total System Failure" But i got plenty of time here, and come up with a better game thread intro. Or at least i had plenty of time... Well, i suppose i do not have to be creative. Game thread, meet Twins Daily Posters. Twins Daily posters are capable of many an interesting insight, and spurious entertainment, not to mention a diverse background and perspective. Posters, meet this here thread for a Saturday game amid the dog days of August. If someone happens to know which dog today belongs to, let us know. This is game where some new and unusual thing will happen nobody expect. Watch closely, so ya don't miss it. And if you do, ask maybe someone here noticed it. Seeing one line up, i like our clean up batter. And keep up the progress Jake Cave! Tigers: 0. Edwin Jackson (R ) P Gardenhire is still thinking. (So many choices) Twins: 0. Kyle Gibson (R ) P 1.
