George Dub-...<mmph><arggh>

LBJ?

You might have a claim on the better identification of actual crooked dealings.

[Gibby]

 

 

Potential song titles written by Bert:

"HOF"
"The Ugly City, Detroit Detroit"
"I F'd this up"
"Let's do this F'in thing again"
"Circle Me Babe" - every band needs a love song

Others?

 

  I'm Comin Home...on a downward plane.

  I'll drop the Barrel of the Bat on You.

  Circlejerk.

  DickBert. That's the love song.

[D. Hocking]

 

LBJ?

 

Would you call him decent though?

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Maybe more batting practice would have been better than a team meeting.

Or the season should be extended to 200 games to give a team like the Twins a chance to get on a roll.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Jepsen time.

 

CBD.

If everyone else stays at 162 it might just work.

[D. Hocking]

Remember back to when there would be a CBU and sometimes the Twins score would change.  Those were good times.

[USAFChief]

Dick:  "Foul just over our heads."

 

Bert:  "There's a LOT of things over our heads."

 

Bert's been gone 30 days, right?

 

It's been 30 days since I last heard that.

Potted plant pinch running for 56 year old Julio Franco.

 

Mitch Williams warming up in the pen.    Two fans, a fellow TX reliever, and the bullpen catcher receiving medical attention from on-scene EMTs.

[DiscGolfer]

Examining the batting glove of Beltre... fascinating!

Preview of the Twins August post-trade-deadline waiver pick ups?

I've always loved that story.

[walt-o-meal]

Bottom 8:  K, 1B, BB, Dong.

 

Book it.

Play it again, Sam.

[wavedog]

Will we get a run tonight? What are the odds on it?

[Riverbrian]

I'm pretty excited. My Boys are flying to Michigan Tomorrow night. Just to hang with Dad. 

[Mike Sixel]

Was busy. How has Hunter carried the team to victory tonight?

[Gibby]

Book it.

 

So you are expecting Torii to disrobe again?

I set you up. You should thank me. (I'm in Bisbee, by the way.)

You're absolutely right! I forgot they scratched the love song angle of "Circle Me Babe" and made it sound errily similar to Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar on Me"

[LaBombo]

 

Will we get a run tonight? What are the odds on it?

 

Diekman has reportedly thrown as hard as 101, which is about 6 less than the percent chance the Twins will not score a run tonight.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

 

Texas was the epitome of the Wild Wild West, yet some our best gunslingers, murders and train robbers came from the great Midwest! Jesse James, Wild Bill, Billy da Kid, and Cole Younger and his brothers. After Northfield some of the Younger brothers not only did not get any younger, they didn't get any older! I don't even think the Earp boys and Doc Holliday were Texans! Name me one decent criminal that came from Texas?

Doc Holiday was from Georgia, Wyatt Earp from Illinois. 

 

Clyde Barrow was a heck of a criminal and gunslinger, but he fired a lot more than 6 bullets in a magazine

[DiscGolfer]

 

Was busy. How has Hunter carried the team to victory tonight?

He got robbed of a hit by Beltre earlier because he's too slow and then joked about it in the dugout.

[USAFChief]

 

I set you up. You should thank me. (I'm in Bisbee, by the way.)

thank you.

 

get any rain tonight?

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

thank you.

 

get any rain tonight?

Yes, lots of thunder and heavy rain for about 2 hours. Hi, neighbor.

[USAFChief]

Only another two WP's from a scoring opportunity.

[Gibby]

Oh God, a passed ball. It's our holy grail. We got this.

[ashbury]

Bottom 8:  K, 1B, BB, Dong.

 

Book it.

One dong won't actually help the team much. They'll need several billion.

 

[Riverbrian]

Got a bunch of great days planned for my kids

 

Thursday: Michigan State Campus Tour

Friday: Flo-Rida and Techn9ne Concert (Yeah I know)

Saturday: Michigan Adventure Waterpark in Muskegon

[wavedog]
