I'm going to make a crazy prediction: Twins will not lose tomorrow!

Let me guess... because of a rainout.

If you don't tell us, I won't get any sleep. This better be worth it!

 

Gee... I don't know if I should

 

Since these games (and season) are so utterly bad, maybe we could start multi tasking on the game threads.  This would need Moderator approval but instead of just Twins talk we could mix in some home improvement advice, fishing clinics/advice, etc.

You think I'm taking home improvement advice from a bunch of folks who sit around night after night watching THIS??

Home improvement advice?

Turn off the Twins game.

You have a 75% chance of being wrong.  That's not crazy just bad odds.

 

Sorry. I'll try to tone it down a bit.

 

Hang on a minute.    Why do you think people are still watching?

That's no lady, that's my wife.

 

ba-dum-tsch

 

Thanks, thanks very much.  I'll be here all week.  Try the chicken, and remember your wait staff.

Oh! She must've been somethin before electricity!

Approved

 

When improving your home... Make sure you own the property. 

 

When Fishing... If you don't catch anything after a half hour... Jump in... Swim to the bottom and chase them.

Turn off the Twins game.

Great idea!  My wife would think I'm slowly coming to my senses.

OMG, Halsey was a legend. It would have been fun to hear his thoughts on this fiasco,

Does he go back to the Dickie Thon FC days? Prehistoric in Internet years.

It really is amazing. The Indians are about to be 24-20 and we've simply dominated them.

You are one step from being that guy that talks to himself downtown while others walk past. 

That was my first thought of Halsey, that and he absolutely detested bat day at the Met.

Big comeback starting now.

Internet? :) Halseys office phone had a dial. :)

Advice from long time married guy:  You don't want that.

 

The honey-do lists just get longer and more complicated.

Twins are still going to lose tonight even though the Royals tried to give the Twins a run.

 

With one out and a runner on second the throw to first appeared to get the runner on the replay but the Royals saved their appeal.

 

Run expectancy shows 1.17 runs scoring with one out and runners on first and third,  but only .38 with a runner on third and two outs.

 

The Twins failed to plate a run anyway because Twins,   but only after the Royals probably improved their run expectancy by 8/10's of a run with the non-challenge.

If I had a picture of Jack Nicholson sitting in a circle with all the other crazies in "one Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest" I would have posted it here.

I think I just got th "who's pitching for kc tomorrow" gag

 

For shame

With over 4K in posts, it would be assumed you know not to do math in GT! :). Warning points, and one night without beer is my recommendation!

What a sad ending to that movie

 

Home improvement advice?

Turn off the Twins game.

No, in fact it's good incentive.  Nothing like taking a baseball bat to your living room to spark a new home-improvement project.

Hundred bucks says I can get us a rainout...
