To bunt?

If the batter expects it too, the catcher may be less crucial...

I didn't catch that... How do you hit it over the wall?

Yeah, this kinda confounded me in the other direction whem following Micheal Restovich through our farm system in the aughts.

Yeah, that is about right as far as canada geese... One was always reminded to wipe one's shoes after walking around Silver Lake.

Are we talking 70F, 70C, or 70K? I presume you don't venture to them latitudes all too often...

I give up... What do you call those who don't drink coffee?

Well, that's the ball game. If anyone eats a hill of beans instead of chicken, let me know what kind they were...

Do i have to get off the Engelb Vielma bandwagon before getting on the Niko Goodrum bandwagon? I'm sad he went to the Giants, but i guess on can't have one's cake and eat it... All slick shortstops with cool names can't play for us at the same time.

So is that how bunting is supposed to work?

Now we got something to work for...

Looks like a veritable pitching duel. How long ya let starters go?

Will listen to 'em during commercials... At present i am ignorant of my preferences. Well, i guess i prefer aster.

Granite makin' a nice catch there.

Kepler with a lone hit of the game halfway through 2. Could be worse...

The Twins are in. I need say no more on the matter. Nice to write a game thread intro when the pressure is off... 11:11am... Vertical time. Trying to remember who introduced me to the concept back in High School. We'd celebrate by essentially signaling a touchdown until the minute was over, according to the digital clock in view. Anyway... things to ponder if you don't have anything better to do. Did someone tell Bill Gates he made a better door than a window? If Steve Jobs was in Vermont, did anyone ask him how he liked the maples? What kind of Beans are in the hill from Casablanca? I vote for Lima. Has anyone actually used a recipe for disaster? I know what your thinking... Did i provide 6 things, or only 5? In all the excitement of writing this thread, i kinda lost track myself. But seeing as this is the game thread, the most spuratic and topsyturvy thread on Twinsdaily, and can blow your mind... You gotta ask yerself... "Do i feel lucky?" I hope the answer is yes, by the way. This thread will be pretty short if it isn't. Oh, yeah... credits. Twins Ervin Santana (R ) 1. Zack Granite (L) CF 2. Ehire Adrianza (S) 3B 3.

Is following the White Sox - Angels game what it feels like to be a foreign exchange student?

Would they be likely to celebrate less due to backing in? You can ask me how many problems i got with them backing in, if you wish...

You have 6 thumbs on your right hand... Someone was looking for you.

Are we winning yet?

I imagine it is the head to head series winner, but what do i know? I suppose i could look it up... Er... having looked it up, yeah a tie breaking game would ensue. Yeah, winning division does mean more now.

Can i look now?

I like how we get to play our likely post season adversaries during the end of the regular season. And the fact the Yankees swept us leaves us like a rake in the grass... (um, i hope the hard pronged kind used for dirt and the like, rather than the kind for fall leaves) That said, i also hope we take care of business and whipe 'em out...

I'll settle for an oximoron... This a good teaser to tide us over a gamethreadless day. Thanks!

Bunkers just don't get as much use as one would suppose... But no. If we were spending more time there, we'd post more, not less. What else is there to do? I expect people just have busy lives. Or else they are saving their energy for when it matters. Not that i can speek for anyone... I myself have posted sparsely due to doing things during gametime...
