Game Thread: Twins @ Tigers, 9/27 12:08pm CT

Yesterday was my first attempt at authoring a game thread I the team delivered a winnah! Here we go fellow TDers, let’s go for two-in-a-row, get me that Chicken Dinnah!

Here are some things to think about:

 

1. Guess there is an illness issue of some kind in the clubhouse and apparently Plouffe and is out on account of it and Rosario is sitting because of LHP Wolf. Molitor said there's "a bug going around the clubhouse ... Temperatures ... Bodies aching."

2. Santana on the mound. Probably the best arm the team has at this point in the season….let’s go!

3. Buxton is playing (Put me in, Coach, I'm ready to play, today, Look at me, I can be Center field)…I realize his bat needs to come around before he is a regular, but I love it when this guy is out there.

4. I would love to see Kepler, but since the team is still legitimately in contention, he’s sitting these games out. Heard that there is a missing person alert on Shane Robinson, but since there is no room for him next year, no one is looking for him.

5. Go Rangers and Mariners!

Great thread start ... love the chicken dinner gif! heh ...

Great start, but I admit it.....I will be watching the Vikes     , I will check back later after the TWIN'S WIN!!!!

10-2 win would be nice, save the bullpen for the big upcoming series.

I'd like it if they were all like that.

I always kinda wish that, having 2 eyes, we could watch 2 things at the same time...

 

But it can be confusin'...

 

The Euchre club sometimes only had 7 people. So i'd sit between the two tables. That was fun, but people were patient with me, particularly in reminding me what was goin' on.

Heard that there is a missing person alert on Shane Robinson, but since there is no room for him next year, no one is looking for him.

I thought Rosario's splits against lefties was actually better than against righties. Oh well.

Who else is watching the Vikings game on a different screen or flipping back and forth?

I see both Minnesota teams have scored a touchdown.

 

Let's tack on that extra point now...

Twins up 6-0 in the second. Tigers starter knocked out.

Despite my desire to watch both, i stuck gameday on the Twins and turned on the football game.

Twins up 6-0 in the second. Tigers starter knocked out.

Hope he comes to eventually... Or was it only a TKO?

I dont think that's the case. Good day to get Buxton in anyways.

Twins up 6-0, Vikings up 10-0. I'm still nervous for both teams though..

I must admit, you are better than i am.

Vikes up 10-7. Rhodes is hurt, bad.

Who is Rhodes?

Vikes up 10-7. Rhodes is hurt, bad.

Hope he recovers!

 

Yeah, that was a bit of friendly fire that got the Chargers in the endzone...

 

Hope nothin' like that happens in this (the Twins) game. 'Specially with Buxton and Hicks in the outfield.

Adrian P-p-peterson!

If I comment in TD during a Vikings game, does a tree fall down in the woods?

Adrian P-p-peterson!

A little longer run than the last score, no?

Purely coincidental. (At least i hope so...)

He back.

Buxton has become the Corn King. Leads the team in cans of corn hit to the outfield.

football? during baseball season? oughta be a law ...

Vikes up 10-7. Rhodes is hurt, bad.

Andrew Sendejo smashed into Rhodes while whiffing on Kennan Allen. Knocked Rhodes out cold. Lucky if Rhodes comes back next week.

Yes, and you killed it.
