Dick and Bert: Harper has always been a guy who hustles.  He just doesn't do fake hustle for hustle sake.

What a cranky game thread.

 

I'm on my way to the game. Hoping for minimal rain, and a Twins W. I've got a good track record of game attendance and Sano HRs

Hmmm. I've got 2 out of 3. Getting the third is looking rough right now.

 

The longest English word with all letters in the left-hand portion of a standard keyboard is aftercataracts. (This is the type of thing we're reduced to discussing in a game such as this.)

 

This is exactly the type of stuff that all Game Threads should contain. 

You and your Marney fixation.

Hey, I would choose her over the one everyone loves.

You are the only hope I have left

That Gardenhire was a cutey. 

How did we turn a game we couldn't win into a game that is going to crap out our pen?

It's hard to pull an outside slider. 

 

 

Our long Nationals nightmare is over.

Somehow I knew giving up 7 runs in the first 3 innings would come back to bite us.

I didn't understand your question but...

 

There was a fleeting moment that I thought we might rope a dope them. 

 

I was wrong. 

Our long Nationals nightmare is over.

Were you sitting on that one all night? Either way, well done.

Actually it only came to me right at the end. Couldn't resist using it.

It gave me a good laff

You're consistent, I'll give you that.

I thought you were talking about Tippi Hedron in the Hitchcock movie.

Think about the use of pitchers

I'd rather not, but you keep reminding me. .

 

Why is everyone so worried about Bryce Harper?  Our devastating lineup of fire throwers will bring him to his knees 

Oddly enough, this turned out to be true. However, our pitchers forgot about the rest of the lineup.

I think when a relief pitcher like Tonkin comes to bat and miraculously works a 2-0 count in his favor, you give him the take sign the rest of the at bat. What's the worst that could happen?

 

And just to be sure he Tonkin doesn't miss the take sign, you yell "TAKE!" from the dugout before every pitch.

Sano really crushed that ball to center. And Werth made a helluva catch on that Buxton homer.

 

Twins showed a bit of life there and almost made a game of it.

 

At least my second favorite team won.
