Article: Game Thread: Twins v Blue Jays, 5/19 @ 7:10pm CT

[ashbury]

 

To the powers that be... does anyone think it is possible we can just pretend in the game thread and make up stories and game scenarios like we are sweet, an unstoppable force bent on conquest and destruction of other MLB teams. I think that would be nice.

 

If that is disagreeable, I would gladly be happy if we could pretend I work at a poop factory and I am the taste tester. Your call.

I hope you enjoyed tonight's walk-off win, when Brian Dozier made Danny Santana's successful stolen base an afterthought with his two-run blast on a foolish high inside fastball.

Willie Norwood might be an upgrade, and he's probably 60 years old.

And now *I* feel old.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Santana is still sitting in the dugout fighting tears away.  Rest of dugout is empty.

I believe you. Yeah, that's what I really don't like about losses like this. MLB baseball players are living blessed existences, no need to feel sorry for them, and then, something like this happens.

You don't have to feel him, just sign him to play CF.

You've got a subject/verb agreement problem there, my young gumshoe. Come back with a better story by next Tuesday.

w00t!   Corrected in the edit, with one minute to spare before you posted!   But it's good to know someone else is still enforcing the Queen's.

Yes... yes. More please, I need more.

[Squirrel]

99.9% means you've just got one of the measuring cups... out of that set of them... left to get?

Not sure you remember how it looked before, but here it is now.

 

[twinssporto]

It would be nice if there was something about this club I could get excited about.  Youth movement, no.  Good play, no.  Exciting players to watch, no.  The playoffs, no. 

 

Next year will be better though...

[Blake]

 

10-30

The Twins can now be projected to win 40 games this year. Maybe.

 

I've seen teams plumb the depths of futility but this team is taking futility to unheard of depths.

Willie Norwood the gospel singer is only 60.    Does that help?

[ashbury]

Boy, when we start winning, I hope all you bandwagoners are still here.

Close your eyes and hold your nose, and lots of things taste like chicken.

Good advice for getting through the rest of this season.

There's only 4 or 5 of us on this game thread.  We're all that's left Aggie.

Turned out really nice, Chi.  Really nice.

Looks fantastic!    It's really going to be a shame when you take the bat to it after the Twins notch that 100th loss on Labor Day weekend.

Yes, I caught that ending, in that universe where Spock wears the goatee.  

 

 

[Deduno Abides]

Tomorrow Tyler Duffey pitches. He has options. If he pitches well, he's the new stopper. If he pitches poorly, it's back to Rochester.

[Reider]

Pitching and defense did okay. Hitters didn't produce enough runs.

Nah. By then I'll be cheering on both the Cubs and White Sox. While I don't really care about either team, would be cool to have a red line WS in Chicago.

Was pretty sure I was going to see the Like quota warning any minute.   Winner.

 

Maybe I'll have to come back at midnight for a quick positivity strafing run after the Like Tank is refueled.

I noticed there was no Twins paraphernalia laying around.  I'm not judging, just saying I understand.

Or he could probably pitch ok,  break an unwritten rule,  and still go back to Rochester.

Or the episode when Data got drunk, if that's your preference

You guys are to be commended, over 440 posts for a 25% team!  What loyalty and dedication!

So, like, you realize you're talking to a bunch people who just watched a 10-30 team lose in ten, right?
