Hugh Laurie, eh? I am sure he's still got it, so could be any days. But i too am a fan of his earlier works...

Perhaps it was an order?

Anyhow, glad we won. Sorry i jinxed us a bit there. Will try not to do that next time.

Twins Pitchers, i hope.

What i miss? 7-1. Sounds like ya'll didn't miss me...

But... i tried. You mean that was not an adequate control thread? Oh well. Back to the drawing bored...

And it seems a boring ordinary non-descript game thread intro does not seem to affect the end result of the game. Blanks get the job done too.

If there is a case for both, its interference, right?

Yup, but keep it down... Don't want Tampa ordering any...

That's what i always thought... And am i the only one bothered by the lack of honorific? It's Lord Nibbler! Scooty Puff Jr. sucks!

If only pitches followed straight lines...

2-1 Twins? Don't know, but i expect that's still an under.

Polanco ties the score 1-1 with a double. (top of 3rd... CBU) Not over yet.

I got some o'them childhood vacation memories, camping up on the north shore over 4th of July. Only place in the state that wasn't upper 90s. And we got some thunderstorms at night aka our own naturally occuring fireworks display. All this pointed out zealously to my brother who had decided to stay home...

Dear Twins Daily, I think some time ago i promised my next game thread would be a resignation letter. Now i have always been some confused between resigning and re-signing. Especially those reports about players resigning for millions of dollars. And you all know me well enough to know i was counting on that when i said it, so by now you should be resigned to the fact that i meant the other one. Well. It turns out TD didn't just give me a raise... TD gave me the Rays. As my next game thread assignment. Namely this game. Whatcha think of that? Oh... Sorry. Things to think about is the next section. Slow work days. Only the Ump can call a Strike at TD, so one has to be creative... Experiment controls. This is one of the control game threads where nothing exciting is said that might jinx or otherwise influence the game just so we know for sure it was us when exciting things were said and happened. Defaults. How things are set up before you are allowed to change them. This is also a default game thread. Boring. You need sharp bits to bore into some materials. And if you are dull, you can create a lot of useless heat and not make the hole any deeper. This is wasted energy. So i advise everyone to cut to the chase, like in a good western. Coming up short. Not wanting to break the ban of math in game threads, i don't know if i supplied enough for you to think of. But seeing as the human imagination is the most powerful force known, or even imagined by well, um humans, you got to ask yourself... "Do i feel lucky?" And let me tell you, this isn't a rigged game. I am lucky. Stands to reason you are. I hope you feel that way too. So now that you've thought about those things to think about, i now have resigned... to write 4 more game threads this month. I think i used up all my good ideas on this one, so who knows. Thank you Twins Daily for giving me a chance to express my somewhat lacking creative side. I will always have fond memories. Maybe i'll share some of them in a future Thread? Twins Kyle Gibson (R ) No Lineup Released. Management is not answerable for the overraught reaction a line up release might provoke in our readership. Who am kidding? Well you i suppose. The line up just isn't out yet. Er. Now it is. And i guess i'm not the management. Please read cautiously... 1. Max Kepler (L) RF 2. Jorge Polanco (S) DH 3. M. Gonzalez (S) 1B 4. Eddie Rosario (L) LF 5. Miguel Sano (R ) 3B 6.

This is dedicated to a handful of friends who have quit their jobs recently and will find new and better ones soon enough, i am sure.

Oh. You mean Twins are the Home team of Twins Daily where they have never lost a game where USAFChief has started the corresponding game discussion thread. I assume this is merely a coincidence. Neither is Chief volunteering to write the rest of the game thread intro's, or should we blame him if he doesn't and coorespondantly the Twins occasionally lose. Use this wisely... I look forward reading your game 7 game thread intro after an unblemished season, judiciously taking games that matter. I, on the other hand, have the battle scars of defeat, but a short memory.

So we won the first of a 3 game series... How marvelous.

Oh look. Tie game. Has the sky returned to its normal height yet?

Are sky-falling threads more appropriate in domes?

Guess he didn't go very far, did he? Buti'm still allowed to cheer for him, right?

Go Buxton!

Oh, i thought they were PDT year round... Standards are for squares-tates.

More obliteration!

Oh, not disparaging the subject matter... Production values were higher at the ballet. Stage lighting, a real orchestra in a real pit, playing real music. Even atmospherics in one piece. Imagine what Lindor would have looked like on that play with dramatic music, side light to highlight his build, and fog rolling through the stadium when the ball didn't come down.

Ninja'd... and with style in keeping with the theme. Wait... how can it be ninja'd if i know who done it? Samurai'd i was!
