Um...you mean we're not even good enough to make the amateur Olympic team?

  That was awesome.

Here we go. I don't even remember hearing about that one. And I thought that Sochi was bad enough already.

 

Where is the Stick the Fork in him, about Duensing, oh yea, right, no one really cares about him LOL......c'mon Duensing, get out of this, dammit!!!!!

Hey I started a thread entitled "Duensing Done?"  Isn't that close enough?

Get a kindly moderator to change it to "Jam a Giant Pitchfork Up Duensing's Seat."

Here we go.

That one is awesome.

Ash, Hrbowski and I are making plans to break the news to our mom that she needs to bring me down to see Trey Vavra and possibly Trevor Hildenberger.  Wish me the very best of luck.

 

ETA: That was directed to Ash. He is not part of the group, though that would be great fun. I picked out the day:

It has to be soon, or Trey will be promoted right out from under my nose.

Very late to the "party".  Flat effort all around.  Gibson wasn't sharp but kept the game within reach.  Tonkin, Duensing, Thompson were pretty bad.  Oliveros and Achter should be paying attention in Rochester.  BTW, Stauffer got knocked around a bit in his rehab appearance.  Please, please, please, TR, just say no to any more Stauffer.

Well, that got the "winning game thread" monkey off my back.

 

Time to win another series, boys!

 

That means you have to win BOTH games against the Pirates.

Liriano and Worley sked for the Buccos.

 

No word on Mike Redmond being signed as a player-coach to catch.

Ricky vs. Frankie, Pelf vs. Vanimal. At least all these pitchers have swung a bat before.

Don't we just wish?! But apparently it's Jeff Locke instead of the Vanimal:

Number One Son will be in Pittsburgh. Maybe I'll be able to pass along some first-hand reports a day or two afterward.

looks a bit like Nishioka fielding a ground ball, no?

Dis-concur. No evidence the guy is two seconds away from breaking an ankle. The NFL at least has rules to protect him.

Missed the game live. I see the Twins got rocked.

 

Duensing has got nothing to put up there.

 

As guess a 4-3 loss is the same on the record, but this was just a bad game.

If the Twins were to lose both these games, I would think Terry Ryan would pull out all of his hair!

 

Small sample size (my favorite kind), but over the weekend playing outside the division, the AL Central has lost exactly one game, to Sabathia and a 3 run dinger. So everyone picked up a game on KC.

And in the spirit of johnny-come-lately ('cause i didn't think of 'em at the time... i wonder why?) regarding a blank mind and the game thread intro:

"Blanks get the job done too." & "Sometimes nothing can be a really cool hand." (Both lines from movies, i'll be pleased if anyone gets the first (it is generic enough perhaps to have other sources), while i expect most to get the second)

OMG, it's well after game time and all, but I know that first one-  because Repo Man spends his life getting into tense situations.

Exactly!

 

The second quote was from the scene where Cool Hand Luke gets his nickname.

 

Still wish i'd thought of 'em during yesterday's thread, when they were a fitting response to the intro...
