Red balloons? I like billy's balloon myself.

Saturday is here... http://twinsdaily.com/topic/23981-game-thread-twins-vs-mariners-610pm-cdt-9242016-ad/?do=findComment&comment=548123

I finally figured out how come no one volunteered for this here game thread... It conflicts with the Twins Daily Pub Crawl. Well, conflicts is perhaps the wrong word. It is one thing more to pay attention to, and when one tends to travel light on such endeavors. ya don't wear a Duluth pack on a marathon. Or schedule a job review, for that matter. So in honour... er, to commemorate... rather to commiserate with those on this trail of beers for the season, my theme would be crawling. 1. "What starts out on four legs, then goes round on two? And finally walks on three before it's through? 'Well a baby, then a man' i said 'that's plain. and finally an old geezer with his cane." - Oedipus Tex You gotta crawl before you can run. Not exactly true in the specific, as i have heard of more creative ways of self-propelling, but works as a generalizing before toddling benchmark has been achieved. We got a whole host of young players. Who do you like seeing get their feet under them at the majors? 2. "Four legs good, Two legs bad." -Animal Farm Problems tend to snowball, and we are looking at a change of leadership with the departure of Terry Ryan. I haven't been paying any attention to the transition, although i did notice an article saying that they had a finite (5?) set of candidates to replace him. Is there hope? 3. On the Tree. Traffic sometimes crawls, forcing cars into low gear. Which seems to be how the Twins are finishing the season. Which players and prospects have the power to be valuable in low gear? We might have a few, or so i am lead to believe. 4 Better or worse. A comic strip, and not bad at that. I like Cul de Sac, myself, which has the Ut Oh baby of doom. But i am happy reading the comics. The internet though means i kind binge on one at a time. You all got an favorite strip? 5 Where do these stairs go? They go up. -Ghost busters. But... stairs aren't made for crawling. We gotta learn to stand eventually. But i suppose i can stand not standing for a little longer, if ya understand me. Anyway... Enjoy the game! Lineups and weather i leave to a later post... Sorry. Things to do...

I kept trying to click on it, but either my cell phone browser froze or i was just too impatient. How did they arrive at the 79% stat?

Thus begins the uphill struggle... Down 1-0 and counting in the 3rd.

I thought "yes" would be the easy answer. Is Mrs. Howell (ps?) left out of the discussion intentionally?

I wouldn't complain if it were revisited. But i don't know that i had thought that far ahead...

Second verse same as the first... Still not losing... Total silence. 2 can play at this game... Evidently more than 2 can.

Not losing after 1 inning. Hum hum hum... Now sit right back and you'll hear a tale.

Won't that be nice!

Er. This season. This game would be a good start. But only if ya feel like it. Don't let us tell ya what to do...

I have my reservations about this...

Great job with the game thread end game, Twinssporto. That is well thought out and well executed. Like washing dishes and putting them away after a fine meal, the effort is appreciated.

We lost again, eh? I wonder when we will be found...

Centeno with a dinger to half the deficit. Not bad...

Um, acceptible losses?

The joy of being right. How sweet is it?

Doh. What i said to mean was 3 and half floppies aren't floppy. Guess i was a little short. In so many ways... Sorry about that. Memories... Whatcha gonna do? Anyhowsers, there is another game coming up soon, right?

I am missing an exciting game, it would seem...

Funny because 3 and quarter floppies aren't.

At least we didn't lose... Did we? How is the weather looking today?

Both work. Sky coloured water indeed... Save decisions for things matter, say i. Although i have yet to decide what matters...

Too late...

What'd i miss?
