Props where props are due...

Suzuki comes through again. (just feelin' my meager prognostication is perhaps vindicated, not by the depth of the dinger, but by the breadth... And so continues the Conga inning, Thank you, Santana!

Some songs just write themselves, eh?

Gotta build up dramatic tension!

Concur. Now Hicks, the remember the hip action is crucial to a good conga line...

How do the words go again? "Conga conga con-Ga"

I'd been meaning, as per the intro, to call one inning the conga line inning, and this is as good as any...

Hope he gets a few more hits tonight...

Pop quiz. How do the Twins score 6 runs or more in 3 innings?

I also assume they'd eat it too. Never seem to share...

Like a banana, make. Beautifully put.

I thought they made tequila out of worms...

We had to do that anyway... Maybe this will install some urgency?

Is this describing the thought process leading to get the out at home? Yeah, I was happy with the result...

Your typical 356-89(10) scoreless inning. 0-0 after 2. CBU.

0-0 after a 124567 first inning. CBU

Y'all are too kind! (sorry the images don't seem to work after the first pass for me neither, and i'm too lazy to try to debug) Gosh, Sano's taken... Dozier too... I'll jump on Suzuki's back. He's drivin' the bus today! Er... Not literally of course... But, you know what i mean...

Harken back roughly a century, to a time before internets and cellular devices, when interactions were actually *gasp* in person... http://www.reusableart.com/miwp/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/dove-banner.jpeg You are cordially invited to attend a Fancy Dress (er, i mean Base) Ball at the Chatteau de Twins Daily in the Magnificent Game Thread Bare Ball Room to commemorate this, the 11th reunion of the Erstwhile Washington Senators first in War first in Peace um, yeah... with the Detroit Tigers Four times Division Champs Music to be provided by Justin Verlander Ervin Santana (both esteemed right handed virtuosos of the mound) Set to include: Waltzes Fox Trots 2 steps (i mean doubles) and of course that wild new craze Swing! A not to miss event! Check the Dance card for more details... Oh yes! Be sure to keep your Dance card full! Door Prizes for original costumes, authentic period pieces, and comfy pajamas. RSVP not necessary, but appreciated so we can stock an alphabet of appropriate size. http://www.reusableart.com/miwp/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/border-12.png Of course, we're still when and where we are (nowhere) and instead of the rhythmic ceremonial ritual (to quote Doc Brown) we now engage in intellectual discussion no less varied and invigorating. So in all earnest, i humbly invite you to such. Oh, since i started it, musical jokes are fair game, even oboe or drummer jokes. Viola jokes might be construed as over the line, so be tasteful. "What's the difference between a Violin and Viola?" "A Cy Young, and the '87 world series MVP." To further note the differences, and perhaps the artifice inherent in the situation, in the wild, bats eat flies, reducing their number. While in the ballpark, flies would not be possible without bats... ... Er, right. The actual game. Got distracted for a moment, taking the metaphor too seriously, thinking of the War to end all Wars, the stock market crash, the dust bowl, the nude eel. All of which i'm too young to appreciate, so i can only imagine. Anyway! http://www.reusableart.com/miwp/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/border-12.png Weather: Partly Cloudy, Low of 67F (20C) Wind from the South, 5-10 mph (8-16kmph) No need of parasols or galoshes Dances: (lineups, of course) TBA http://www.reusableart.com/miwp/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/border-12.png Once upon a time, Verlander owned the Twins. No really. Briefly, the Pohlads put them up for collateral... Alright, ya got me. I was pulling your leg. I just meant he was very difficult to beat. Now it's our turn to see if Santana(s) can return the favor! Hicks, Rosario, Sano, Mauer, Plouffe, Hunter. I'm under the impression this here team is comin' together. And that's good. Even fun to watch, and to discuss. And finally, to embrace the multimedia format of modern day to put ye in the mood, (and having no fear it'll take ya away from the game, 'cause it's Friday after all):

2 innings... 2 runs. We can do this!

My pen saith "I am bic" And it is true nothing i eat fights me... that would mean only eat that which is tame? I had not realized that... Thanks for pointing it out.

To paraphrase a scene from fight club... Modern minds don't blow (like fuses) they trip (like circuit breakers) ... Of course it company policy never to imply ownership of a mind. It's always "a mind" not "your mind" But what i'm having trouble with the beatles, myself... "Now Here man, please listen. You don't know what you're missin'..." Anyway, back to the game...

The Twins might be learning from ChiTown... The lesson being "capitalize"

Sorry, i seem to have left the word "know" out... Oh well. Live and learn.

All i'm thinkin' of is "hay. it itches" or perhaps "pajamas? i'll have you that's my natural hair!"
