Article: Game Thread: Twins v Rangers, 8/11 @ 7:10pm CT

[Riverbrian]

 

let's not forget iron rangers!

 

I can't believe I missed that one.

 

And with a tip of the cap to John Fogerty... "The Blue Ridge Rangers". 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That... is a purely hypothetical assumption.

"I was just speculatin' upon a hypothesis. You know i don't know nothing."

[ashbury]

This just in: the Twins have hired Coldwell Banker as their new pitching coach, to teach Gibson "Location, Location, Location".

[sampleSizeOfOne]

...

Always choose optimism because Opt is cooler than Pess. 

...

I opt for optimism because i don't yet know how to pess...

 

I bet that's why it's called optimism?

 

Oh right. We're losing again, aren't we?

 

2-0 cbu, but we got an inning in hand.

[Riverbrian]

 

My preseason pick for AL MVP, Josh Donaldson, is tearing it up this year.  As great as Trout has been (and always is) I still think Donaldson wins it.

 

I can't argue with you on that. Now that Eric Fryer has been sent down. 

[stringer bell]

I can't believe I missed that one.

 

And with a tip of the cap to John Fogerty... "The Blue Ridge Rangers".

 

My favorite bluegrass group is the Steep Canyon Rangers.

[Platoon]

We might need another meeting!

[DiscGolfer]

Nobody panic, there was a players only meeting today, everything's gonna be alright.

[ashbury]

My favorite bluegrass group is the Steep Canyon Rangers.

Bert is back.  Maybe that's the key.

 

[Squirrel]

 

Don't stop. 

 

Believing.

[Riverbrian]

 

Believing.

 

LOL... Now you did it.

 

That song is now stuck in my head. 

[stringer bell]

Not much of a swing.

[DiscGolfer]

hold on to that feelin'

[Squirrel]

 

LOL... Now you did it.

 

That song is now stuck in my head. 

If you want to get rid of ear worm, start singing the Hawaii 5-0 theme song. Works every time.

LOL... and you took out Phil Lynott. Bert will now have to handle lead vocals and Bass and do the majority of the songwriting. 

 

 

And... And... Without question... I'm buying that album on Itunes. 

[Riverbrian]

 

hold on to that feelin'

 

You spelled it wrong...

 

I believe it is spelled " Fee-lay-ee-ay-ay-in" 

[ashbury]

Not much of a swing.

Then it don't mean a thing.

[Riverbrian]

I have the transcript of the mound meeting between Suzuki and Gibson.

 

Suzuki: Remember you have two strikes... You can play with Beltre a little. Don't worry about Pitch count... Get the out.

 

Gibson: My Glove is stuck to my face. 

[Puckett34]

 

hold on to that feelin'

Street lights, people

[Gibby]

 

 

My favorite bluegrass group is the Steep Canyon Rangers.

 

  My favorite band that sucks is Night Ranger.

[Riverbrian]

 

Street lights, people

 

 

You also spelled it wrong. It's street light(Singular)... Pee-Pull oh-oh OH WOOOOOOOOOOOOE

[stringer bell]

Gibson's BABIP continues to regress.

[Riverbrian]

 

  My favorite band that sucks is Night Ranger.

 

Before I discovered Stevie Ray Vaughan... SRV was the gateway to everything else and led to me eventually culling the herd to the real good stuff.  

 

I used to jam out to Night Ranger and Loverboy... Air Guitaring with a Tennis Racket in front of my mirror with a pained rock and roll expression on my face. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

You also spelled it wrong. It's street light(Singular)... Pee-Pull oh-oh OH WOOOOOOOOOOOOE

I got nothing.

 

And it's plenty for me.

[D. Hocking]

Since there might not be another opportunity to find a semi-relevant place for these power Ranger pictures...

 

A month ago I would have been confident the Twins could have morphed out and defeated any alien baseball monster.  Now I am not so sure.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give a guy an error when it is obvious that a good throw would have gotten the batter out by five steps.

 

How are there not thirty .400 hitters every season?

[Vanimal46]

LOL... and you took out Phil Lynott. Bert will now have to handle lead vocals and Bass and do the majority of the songwriting. 

 

 

And... And... Without question... I'm buying that album on Itunes.

 

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?

[David HK]

 

As a bonus, he has the three name thing going, which Texans seem to love....

Yeh, but the middle name has to be something like 'Bob', or 'Dale'...
