Concur.

He got it.

Dozier assumes the scoring position. Throw had him beat, but the hop threw 'em enough to botch the catch...

Finally in front of a telly... 1-1 i see. What i miss?

Enjoy it! I'm gonna go a-busking for perhaps an hour or so, then sneek into a bar for the remainder of the game. Remember to duck should someone hit a long foul ball down the line!

I am flattered. Nothing like an appreciative audience!

Been ninja'd! I feel for the bowl of petunias...

No worries, mate! I think i volunteered indirectly, but right about the time things were being rethought, and was not formally been hitched to the game thread cart. My apologies for not getting it out earlier, as i'd taken a nap after writing most of it, deliberating how best to deal with it. Kudos to the two headed references too!

The bones tell me... nothing.

I defer to beg... I haven't checked a Boston area forecast yet, as i didn't think line ups were up so i slacked on one of the official game thread details, folk probably wouldn't notice me slacking on another, but being local, i know an out doors concert has been rescheduled to be in its rain location, so there is some chance of a rain out.

King of game threads, and game thread to the Kings. (same movie referenced further down, and left as an exercise to the descerning game threader, but it is a half hearted attempt to establish a theme... And my humble apologies for the stepping on toes, but i see it is an open date in Chief's ol' list, and it being day of, and considering the newish freedom, i figure forgiveness the better part of permission... or something) 1. For some reason i remember watching a Boston baseball game on the telly long ago, and they highlighted local celebrity types. And the one that stuck was the somewhat prolific author Stephen King. I think technically he is from Maine, which used to be Massachusetts back in the day. I kinda just assumed they split off due to under representation. Or maybe taxes. There was a lot of that going round back then. 1eh. Maximum Overdrive. Just figured that deserved special mention as the movie what King was involved with. 1bee. I leave it to the reader to identify the relevence of King's work to the Twins current season, if there is one. 2. The emperor's new closer. It just sounded good. But in all seriousness, Morrison is back. Santana is back. Even Polanco is back. We are getting the team back together. The obvious conclusion is that we must be on a mission from God. Not sure if it has anything to do with taxes... But we'll never get Mr. Fabulous back, will we? And we need that fat sound... Er, i mean bat sound, of course. Anyway, i'd like to place an order for 4 fried chickens and a coke! 3. The Twins key to victory today is that the pellet with the poison is in the flagon with the dragon. The vessal with the pestle has the brew that is true. 4. "You have reached Joe Mauer's cellphone." I can't talk now because the season's on and i am focussing on the ball. But if you leave your name and number and a brief message, i'll get back to you after the season ends." Hi this is sampleSizeOfOne. No need to get back, i'm just making an homage, and don't really know the other Joe M's. Please keep the season going as long as possible. 5. But if this series or season doesn't quite go my way... I'll just ponder the following quote..."Sure i could have stayed there. Maybe even been King. But in my own way, i am King." -an S-mart sales person. Minnesota Twins Starting Pitcher: Kyle Gibson (R ) Lineup: Tba Boston Red Socks Starting pitcher: Brian Johnson (L) Lineup: Tba

We win yet?

Today's game thread is in memory of Calvin Coolidge.

Concur.

"And they're off with a 4 note theme..."

Oh wait. This is visual media for the most part. Yeah, 2-1 9 inning game, starters both going deep, ot would be just like baseball, fickle game that it is. I sometimes wish i could give due diligence to appreiate all the intricacies...

I'm sorry. I wasn't listening...

I forget. I s this a 3 game series? Or can we settle for a split by winning out?

Is this another one of those 1 run games?

Did we win yet? Oh, i see. Only the 4th inning. Glad to hear about Mr. Mauer's milestone. Looks like more needs doing though, down 3-1.

My homework today includes hosting a half-hearted half-cleaned apartment open house for half my friends what don't half anything better to do. Didn't specify a time, so i should be here all day. Which is okay by me if no one shows up and i spend all that time slowly cleaning. If my homework impacts the fame at all, we half got this already. Sorry... we have half... We halve this game in hand!

Some mountaineers might disagree. As may a few tiddly-winkers. Hurray for local maxima! Sport at 11* *going with the above sources when in doubt seems oxymoronic...

Back to home work... But when Buxton returneth, there shall be a reckoning.

Still doing my homework... But i note there is a runner on 3rd with no out. Not looking good...

Gibby's pitching! Gibby liberty, or Gibby... some good good pitching. I think that's how the quote goes.
