If the Wild win today ... I think they play the Blackhawks in the next round. Sorry, but my Minnesota sports loyalties are only with the Twins.

That goes without saying, but I'll go on record and agree. Except when it's the opponent. Then I laugh.

That means that I'm eavesdropping.

Hmm ... that was interesting ... na na na na hey hey gooood bye.

 

At least he's not asking you why you don't have a $240M contract.

 

Give him time.

What did he get tossed for?

 

Q: What did Picasso say on his day off?

A: Hm, I'm drawing a blank.

Oh. You'll see that I went with a different take.

Couldn't stay awake last night. Reading last night's thread and box score, I was pleasantly surprised to see that we scored five runs after two outs. Dogs and cats are sleeping together.

 

Oh, also a favor to ask of the tech savvy mods: Could you put art in the circle thingy of some circus scene or Mickey Dolenz (he was Circus Boy on the TV show in the 1950s) or Charlton Heston from "The Greatest Show on Earth." If not possible, that's fine. I'll pay whatever you want.

Now THAT is our Circus Boy Update.

Cmon, Gibby! Keep on cruisin'!

Seems like the home plate ump has been giving the Mariners every borderline call, so I have no idea why McClendon did that.

oops, guess I'll stop saying anything.

Uh-oh

 

I was going to say that say that the Twins now have the same score as the Wild/St. Louis game....but the Wild went up another score so they're 3-1 now.

What did he get tossed for?

He apparently said enough that finally crossed a line. Arguing balls and strikes probably - at some point the umpire says that's enough, it's not arguable, and one more word triggers the thumb. That in turn allows the manager to turn back and really tell the ump what he thinks, before he departs for good.

 

Dickbert said the ump is a call-up from the minors. I suppose some managers want to try to test him, and/or bend his will to some purpose.

Not sure.  Sometimes my laptop has a mind of it's own.

Yeah, that's a very fine user error excuse.

Cmon Gibby ... pull it together!!! Seems like he gets rattled, or something.

This is odd. The Wild game at one point was 2-0. Twins were up 2-0. Then the Wild let a goal in, 2-1. Then the Twins gave up a homer, 2-1. Now the Wild are up 3-1, so the Twins are gonna score next.

Okay ... well ... we got one ... not good enough.

SCOREBOARD!

Really  nice play by Plouffe there.  Quite the adjustment to throw to first.

 

Also Mauer on the other end.
