Game Thread, Twins @ White Sox, 4/12 @ 1:10pm CT

3-1 is the Circus Boy update, courtesy of double helping of doubles from Nunez and Santana, and LaRoche dinger on the side.

 

Is there something we're supposed to do with 1k post?

[notoriousgod71]

 

That didn't last long...

 

TWSS.

Bert ranked Pelf's performance yesterday 8 out of 10.

 

I would hate to see what a 2 looks like.

I guess Bert wanted to make sure every single one of his own starts could be called at least a 9.

[gil4]

 

Mauer wasn't too pleased with that call.  Appeared to be inside, but that's the way things are going I suppose.

 I wasn't too pleased with the call. either.  I yelled at the TV, but the ump wasn't swayed.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Nunez learned how to catch baseballs.

[Riverbrian]

It doesn't feel like we should still be in this game

What about post 200?

[gil4]

Twins to the White Sox prior to the bottom of the 4th:

"As you can see, we have something to work on.  Do you think you could help us out for an inning?"

"Sure, be glad to."

[Riverbrian]

 

What about post 200?

 

Just 3 subjects: 

 

Wonder Bread

Kangaroos and the Meaning of Life

[glunn]

I am not liking the home plate umpire.

When you reach that point... The relationship is probably over. 

[Riverbrian]

I'd say something about Nunez in Left but Arcia isnt a lock to get to that ball either

[Riverbrian]

Ok... Thats enough. 

 

This ain't pro ball

[TwinsCD]

Is it me or does circus music start to play every time the White Sox hit a pop up?

[Puckett34]

Ooof da.  This defense is leaving a lot to be desired.

[drunksam]

The defense will be fi.....fu....

I believe it's the Benny Hill music today.

Banana's  (Just what does a fruit own?)
Magnesium  (Chemical symbol MG... couldn't he just talk about the cars instead?)
Luther's 95 Thesis  (Plural form? as in "theses" which rhymes with a certain singular form of the digestive-product word that describes the Twins defense)
How to pick up Women (((Given it's SSO, probably best to start out in singular form)
and Boise Idaho  (Potato's or Potatoe's?)

 

And say it in the form of a haiku

Trevor Plouffe is still on the active roster.  That sucks.

[Danchat]

Plouffe, what's up? 3 strikeouts? Is Sale just that good?

[gil4]

I was hoping for at least a little improvement again, like maybe striking out on 5 pitches this time.  No such luck.

[Danchat]

Hughes has steadied himself and so far has made a quality start. Now if we could just mount an offense against Sale...

[D. Hocking]

 

The defense will be fi.....fu....

 

I know it is more the talent on the field than spring training, but they have been talking about working on essentials there the last few years.  I know they bring in some of the best baseball minds, but maybe there is something there they could be doing there to be mixing it up. Again, I know what they really would need to do is have more talented players...

There is a reason why Circus Boy is our official score updater (even when he is not here).

[Gibby]

 

Whew,  I have a Vegas bet for the Twins to win the division, and I would like to keep some hope alive.

  Ha! I just placed a bet at Treasure Island for the Vikes to win the Super Bowl.

Sorry, guys. Had a mess in aisle 7 after the elephants came through.

You are missing one

I'll take "Jeopardy subjects"

for a thousand, Brain.

 

(Will that haiku do?)

 

I napped for a while, but the score hasn't changed.

woke up briefly to see a long foul not score 3 runs.

 

But through 7.5, Circus boy update stands at 3-1, with Sale gone, so we stand a chance?

[formerly33]

I guess it's no big deal that I wasn't able to listen to the end of the game. Wait, we might come back and win in the 11th. Oh, wait, somehow I feel like an idiot to even think of that.

 

In '10 you would say "I KNOW the Twins are going to win." In '11 you could say "I THINK the Twins are going to win." In '12 you would say "I HOPE the Twins are going to win." In '13 you would say "I WISH the Twins would win." In '14 you'd say "I think the Twins are going to lose." In '15 we all shout "I KNOW THE TWINS ARE GONNA LOSE."
