Does he put people in their seats? We could call him the chairman...

Did we win yet?

What do they say?

I thought i just checked and we were down 3-2... Not that i mind, mind you.

Victory is ours tonight. Life is good.

I like it when i ask for things and they have already happened by the time my connection and my typing catch up...

Let's score Polanco here! (Before the movie i am about to watch starts) Thanks all for the appreciation of intro... sorry i am mostly mia for the game...

Last Monday a conductor wore a T shirt with what i presume was a profile of Leopold Stokowski, holding baton up towards his chest such that the tip had behind it what presume were meant to be fancy collars or ruffles. This might be an apt insight on how i think, but as it was an old cheap shirt, i couldn't help but think he had a flaming marshmallow on the end of his baton. Needless to say i had a fun rehearsal and hope a few lighthearted camp ditties will help ease the tensions associated with following a wild card race in this here game thread... 1. He'll be swinging at the first pitch when it comes! (try yer own verses!) 2. My eyes have seen the folly of a batter squared to bunt. For unless the fielders play a shift, they are ready for this stunt. And the fans will ever opine that with one more out, we'da won(i)t So why's it ever done? 3. Eddie swung hard and i don't care. Eddie swung hard and i don't care. Eddie swung hard and i don't care, unless he gets a K. 4. Beautiful slider, buckle the knees, after the fastball raises a breeze. then throw a 2 seem, batter will freeze. Assuming the umpire calls what he sees. 5. There's a hole in the bullpen dear Favley, dear Favley. (etc.) Oh yeah, line ups... Twins: P: Kyle Gibson ( R ) 1. Brian Dozier ( R) 2B 2. Joe Mauer (L) 1B 3. Jorge Polanco (S) SS 4. Eduardo Escobar (S) 3B 5. Eddie Rosario (L) LF 6. Byron Buxton ( R) CF 7. Robbie Grossman (S) DH 8. Max Kepler (L) RF 9. Chris Gimenez (R ) C Tigers: P: Daniel Norris (L) 1. Ian Kinsler ( R) 2B 2. Alex Presley (L) RF 3. Miguel Cabrera (R ) 1B 4. Nicholas Castellanos ( R) DH 5. Jeimer Candelario (S) 3B 6. Mikie Mahtook ( R) LF 7. James McCann ( R) C 8. JaCoby Jones ( R) CF 9. Jose Iglesias (R ) SS 83F and clearly clear. Anyway, now we are all hopefully in the mood, anyone wanna tell a ghost story, or something?

Perhaps? And there was much rejoicing...

A lead! It has been a while... Keep the foot on the gas! Win one fo' da RiverBrian!

If belated is okay, i can't really take credit for the Twins winning one of their remaining games. Somehow it wouldn't feel right without a card though. And considering all the exciting intros you write, it would be small reward if it were tame and bland...

Which one am i responsible for? The win or the loss? (Man, that's a tall order... I was just hoping to provide something creative, like a joke or a poem...)

What would you like for yer birthday, RB?

Did we win yet?

Do they really bop babies? Not sure i actually want to know... I wonder if it gets delayed, but can't be made up tomorrow, and then the games matter for the wild card race, so they get made up before the wild card game... Wouldn't that be a surreal end of season?

Did we win yet? Still have to catch up on some rumored Mauer slam...

Then they might become Twins fans...

Oh yeah. How went the pub crawl?

No... Only B grade wisdom. Which means i don't know enough to keep my trap shut.

Do i finally get to meet Kyser Soze?

Yes it was... on the East Coast.

!Who is this Donaldson fellow, and how come we don't catch his fly balls?

1 out. 26 to go.

A reprieve! Heck hath no furry like a moderator disappointed by a poor game thread intro...

Yes. I'll figure out what when the football is over.... Probably that Grossman is DHing.
